    About 26,400 Choice reviews are availabel through the CARL PAC in
    Denver.  We update it monthly, around the 25th of the month for the
    following month's issue (except for the combined July/Aug issue).
    Records are fully indexed (i.e. full text of the review as well as
    citation information.)

    We also run citation linking to the various CARL Library databases;
    at the end of each review we list which of the CARL member libraries
    (on the Denver machine) own the title.  (Matching based on ISSN).

articles a list of the library-related list servers.  I've compiled the
following list from a variety of sources.  I'd be interested to know if anyone
is aware of one that is not on the list, or if you know that one of those
listed is no longer active.  You can reply directly to me.  Thanks.

Reply to Donnelly@SJUVM...not to Libref-L.  Editor

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Am interested in determining if a general norm in staffing hours for
student/graduate assistant workers in academic reference depts. is
out there despite varying local conditions.  Would appreciate any
responses to the following:
1. How many student workers do you usually employ in reference
during the regular academic year?
2. How many total hours do they work per week as a group?
3. If there is a slack in work, is student time shared elsewhere?
4. Are you a small, medium or large institution (by enrollment)?
Will summarize responses made directly to me.  Many thanks in advance.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Hi all:

A couple of weeks ago, a member of the list asked for a good source
for the lives (present day lives) of baseball players of former
years.

I just got a piece of email today which recommends "From Aaron to Zuver-
ink" by Rich Marazzi and Len Fiorito, Avon, 1982.  According to James
Mundy of Vassar College (jamundy@vaxsar.vassar.edu), it is a good book
for describing where baseball players of the 1950s are today.

P.S.  I am sorry about posting this on the whole list, but I lost the posters
address.

              13 Aug 1992 14:48:07 EDT from <jrlikins@COLBY.EDU>

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
First off, a disclaimer:  I am not an attorney, nor an expert in copyright
law.
The question is about Diana Souhami's assertion of her moral rights "to be
the author" of a book.  Moral rights are mentioned in the Berne Convention
of international copyright.  This area was a difficult aspect of the treaty
when the U.S. Senate considered ratification as a signatory party.
To my limited knowledge it seems that Ms. Souhami misunderstands the meaning
of the moral rights provision.  It does not call into question the author-
ship of a book or other creation.  It establishes certain rights for the
author when other versions of the original work are produced in different
formats (as a screenplay, stage play, or sound recording of a published
book.  The author of the original work has moral rights in the subsequent
versions of the same titled work, or where the content is substantially
the same in a different work.
As I understand it, these definitions are no clearer in the treaty.  That
is, what is different or substantially similar in content is not clarified.
I hope that helps.

Hi Deb,
Surprised to see your name on the Net this AM. Wanted to thank you for
the info on First Search you faxed to me -- very helpful -- and
perhaps return the favor by responding to your question.

The MIT Libraries conducted a Information Study of faculty and
graduate students this year in three disciplines: Brain & Cognitive
Science, Management, and Materials Science. One of the information
gathering techniques used was the focus group. We hired a professional
consultant, who also trained the library staff participating in the
Study (including yours truly). So far, two FG's have been conducted,
both with graduate students; one was led by a member of the
professional focus group staff, while the other was led by the Study's
project leader (a librarian). One of the sessions was videotaped, the
other recorded. We expect to do one or more FG's in the fall, when the
Study is expected to be completed.

The Study was done to provide information on how MIT faculty & grad
students find information -- their procedures, methodology, etc. We
also used one-on-one interviews and a survey instrument.

Our project leader is out of the country for the next six months, but
if you seek additional information, you might contact our Associate
Director for Public Services, under whose auspices the Study is being
conducted. His name is David Ferriero & can be reached by email
(sean@athena.mit.edu) or phone (617-253-7058). As one of the "troops"
I'd also be happy to answer any questions.

In the fall, I will be one of 3 "librarians" for a small reading
room (> 2000 books and journals) for a Humanities department
in my university.  I've been asked to put the card catalog and
"check out system" onto a database.  (The room has  a Mac and
 an IBM.)

Could anyone suggest appropiate database software for this?  I've
used excel a little, but I'm wondering if there might be something
else available.

Please e-mail any suggestion to me.  Thanks in advance!
