As convenor of the ARLIS Working Party on Co-operative and Co-ordinated Acquisition, I am delighted to accept the hospitality of these pages and the opportunity to discuss current problems in co-operation.For some time now it has been obvious that art librarians as a whole have been aware of a need to co-operate at all levels. This is a healthy sign of maturing awareness and self-identification as librarians with common problems.

At the recent conference on ‘user education’ it struck me that there was a tendency in librarianship as a whole to see courses of instruction in isolation and to look upon this work done by the librarian as the sole teaching that he or she does. I come from an average Polytechnic and run fairly conventional, even orthodox, formal courses on library use linked with a rather bureaucratic compulsory library tutoring system for dissertations.Seen in isolation such courses can be given an exaggerated importance when they are, in fact, only a minor part of the process. Supporting and acting as a vital example to such tuition is everything from an initial orientation tour through to information work, to literature guides, to stock selection and relegation policies, indeed the whole library. The long term objective of a Polytechnic Library must be about introducing and promoting an ‘eyes open’ approach to information-seeking in the real world beyond the educational institution. The question that should be asked is, “Is the Polytechnic Library as a whole conceived in such a way as to be as relevant as possible to its prime objective of educating its users — or is it there because-it is there?”
Libraries and folk art
Authors: Mathiesen Eske 
Published: July 2016

Folk art is widely supposed to have come to an end with the coming of urban, industrial society, but activities persist which may be termed ‘folk art’ and which include, for instance, ‘family art’ — the creating, by a family, of its own visual surroundings and traditions. Folk art is a people’s art; it affirms and renews personal, local, and community experience; it is a shared activity which does not elevate the role of the ‘artist’. But libraries by and large document fine art, and thus, at least by implication, are associated with its values and appear to have nothing to contribute to the kind of social change which may be necessary if people’s art is to flourish.The text of a paper delivered to art librarian members of the Danish Library Association in November 1972, published in Bibliotek 70, no. 2, 1973, pp. 31-34, and now published for the first time in English.

Authors: Pezzini Isabella , Gubler Jacques 
Published: July 2016

A selection of ‘avant-garde’ journals, from the early 20th century onwards, which have included architectural material. The journals are grouped into countries (which appear in alphabetical order), and are then arranged chronologically by date first published. Part 1 covers journals from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary and Italy. The journals are described by a number of contributors denoted by their initials: A.B. (Antoine Baudin); J.G. (Jacques Gubler); M.D.G. (Manolo De Giorgi); B.H. (Brian Henson); I.P. (Isabella Pezzini); F.R. (Franco Raggi); P.G.T. (Piero G. Tanca).The article is the translation of a survey ‘La rete delle riviste’ which first appeared in Rassegna, no. 12, December 1982 - a special issue entitled ‘Architettura nelle riviste d’avanguardia’.
Artists on Libraries 2:
Authors: Trepanier Peter 
Published: July 2016

“‘Of course not. The model is very important. Yanaihara and Caroline feel the same way you do about it, that posing is an active participation in the work. It’s not easy, either. I know that. But Genet felt that posing was completely passive. And he stopped posing because he felt he was being transformed into an object. I thought that was a very literary attitude.’”

Like most librarians, I spend a large part of my time organizing information and helping others to find it, but as an artist, I sometimes find an image more interesting to appropriate than to classify.The word “appropriation” as applied to art has in some ways supplanted the concept of the found object. Appropriation refers to the use of images (taken from many sources, including art history) that have been not only removed from their original context, but re-combined with other images to form a new context, a new work of art.
Making the vision work
Authors: Varley Gillian 
Published: July 2016

How has the vision of the pioneers of ARLIS translated into the activities and achievements of the Society and its members in the present? The relationship of ARLIS and the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum has radically improved; collaborative projects in the areas of periodicals, slides and exhibition catalogues have yielded fruits in the form of union lists, surveys and directories; the longstanding Directory of members has been joined by a new directory documenting art, design and architecture resources in the UK and Ireland. However, as the Follett Report shows, the demands on libraries in the UK are heavier than ever before and will continue to increase, meaning that libraries will have to find new strategies to keep abreast of demand and take advantage of the new technologies. ARLIS should broaden its membership and may be able to achieve some of its long-term goals through the Visual Arts Library and Information Plan.This article is a revised version of a paper delivered to the 25th Anniversary Conference of ARLIS/UK & Ireland, London, 7th-10th April 1994.
L’Institut national d’histoire de l’art
Authors: Laclotte Michel 
Published: July 2016

Le projet d’Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA) a une longue histoire, qu’il serait trop long de détailler dans le cadre de cet article. Je préfère me réjouir de la bonne nouvelle: l’INHA va enfin voir le jour.L’INHA doit s’installer rue Vivienne et rue de Richelieu, dans une partie des locaux libérés par les Départements des Imprimés et des Périodiques et par certains services de la Bibliothèque nationale de France. Le bâtiment Colbert, rue Vivienne, abritera les activités de recherche et d’enseignement au niveau du 3e cycle, ainsi que les espaces destinés à l’accueil, aux rencontres scientifiques et aux expositions, tandis que la bibliothèque et l’iconothèque documentaire seront rassemblées rue de Richelieu.La Mission interministérielle des Grands Travaux a conduit une étude de programmation. Elle a permis de prévoir, dans le détail, l’utilisation des lieux dans le bâtiment Vivienne et de tracer les grandes lignes d’une implantation de l’Institut dans le quadrilatère Richelieu, à côté des Départements spécialisés de la BnF, appelés à se redéployer: Département des Estampes et de la Photographie, Département des Manuscrits, Département des Cartes et Plans, Département des Monnaies, Médailles et Antiques, Département de la Musique, Département des Arts du spectacle.

Architecture, the focus of this issue, is held to be the ‘mother of the arts’. It is also referred to as the ‘queen of the decorative arts’. But in the family of art libraries and art librarianship, architecture is often a neglected stepchild. So I welcome the invitation extended in this issue of the Art Libraries Journal to the ‘Cinderella of the arts’, and hope that her appearance at the art ball will extend beyond midnight.Over the past quarter of a century or so that I have been an architectural librarian, I have sometimes wondered why architecture libraries are isolated from their sister libraries in the world of art and design, and why architecture libraries and librarians feel the need to separate themselves from their art and design siblings. Is it because the art community is uncomfortable with architecture? If so, is this because architecture is outside the mainstream of art education or art history teaching? Or is it because architecture libraries are generally part of professional institutes, schools of architecture or architectural firms, whose concerns and affiliations may have more in common with the engineering sciences (civil, structural, materials, environmental), the building and construction industries, urban and landscape design, town and country planning, and estate, project and business management, than with the more scholarly and historical focus of art libraries in museums and universities?
The Organisation and Administration of Artificial Insemination Centres
Authors: Stewart D. L. 
Published: July 2016

The scope of this subject is so wide that no attempt will be made to deal with it in detail, but I will treat it in a general way. drawing largely from my experience at the Reading Centre.
The technical aspect of artificial insemination has now reached a stage of development where good results are almost a certainty, but more than good results must be achieved if an Artificial Insemination Centre is to be run satisfactorily. It is of great importance that a service be provided at an economic figure, and this can only be done if the administration and organisation of the Centre are on a sound business footing.
I intend to confine my remarks to the organisation of the individual Centre, and in case any of the audience are unaware of it, the national development of artificial insemination is controlled by the Minister of Agriculture under the Artificial Insemination (Cattle) (England and Wales) Regulations, 1943, and he has for his guidance the Central Advisory Committee.
Beef Production in Eastern Scotland
Authors: Fowlie D. 
Published: July 2016

I propose to assume that the lowland farmer either breeds, rears and feeds his own stock, or brings them in as stores to finish off. His supply of store cattle will come from higher lying farms which are not so suitable for feeding, from small holdings in the lowlands, from marginal hill land farms, or from Ireland.Breeds of Cattle for Beef.—The ideal animal for beef production must definitely be of the approved beef type. There are quite a few breeds of cattle in Britain of this type. Of course, in Scotland we depend chiefly on the Aberdeen-Angus and the Shorthorn, and in my opinion the best feeding animal is a cross between the two; or if a good bull of either breed is used on a strong dual purpose type of cow. the calf should make a useful carcase.
Bull Progeny Testing in Denmark
Authors: Mason I. L. 
Published: July 2016

During the last decade or more we have heard a great deal about progeny testing. Discussion has centred round three chief points. Under what conditions can selection by progeny testing lead to an increase in the rate of genetic improvement ? What method of testing and interpretation of results is most efficient and most practical ? How should the results be applied—that is in what way should the tested animals be used ?In their paper reprinted herein (page 79) Johansson and Robertson have shown to what extent modern genetical theory can answer the second of these questions. It now remains for the executive agencies of livestock improvement to demonstrate the practical utility of the schemes they outline. We must wait some time, especially for slow-breeding animals like cattle, before the results of such a demonstration are available.
The Use of Partial Records in Poultry Selection
Authors: Maddison A. E. 
Published: July 2016

Selection work with the Rhode Island Red breed, involving the extensive collection of records, was first started at Wye College in 1948. Since that time the methods of selection employed have changed substantially in the light of the experience gained and the scheme, as it is operated at present, is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1.Sixty full-sister groups are recorded from first egg to the end of November. At least three full brothers of each of these sister groups.
The control of parasites by grazing management
Authors: Spedding C. R. W. 
Published: July 2016

Among the most important of the parasites of grazing animals are the nematodes inhabiting the alimentary tract of the sheep. The losses due to the presence of these worms are difficult to estimate but are certainly not confined to the results of disease outbreaks. In fact, recent research (Tayler, 1953; Spedding, 1953) has emphasised the losses which occur at sub-clinical levels of infestation, that is, at levels sustained by normal sheep.Control of these parasites may be either ameliorative or preventive in character. Supplementary feeding and the use of anthelmintic drugs are of the former type; grazing management is essentially preventive. For the most part, anthelmintic drugs are now capable of preventing the outbreak of clinical disease, but they allow the presence of sub-clinical levels of infestation, as do most types of grazing management.
The Hormonal Augmentation of Fertility in Sheep
Authors: Gordon I. 
Published: July 2016

It has been shown (Robinson, 1951) that in the ewe the number of ova shed can be increased by the injection of a single dose of mare serum gonadotrophin (P.M.S.) if this is given during the follicular phase of the oestrous cycle. The investigations described here were made to examine the usefulness of this treatment for increasing the lamb crop in commercial flocks.Observations were made on 594 ewes of 3 breeds in 11 flocks (Romneys, 9; Cheviot, 1; Southdown, 1). Most ewes were purebred from old-established flocks. The Romneys were running on the marshlands and mixed farms of Kent and East Sussex, the South-downs were near Glynde, in Sussex, and the Cheviots were on a farm near Brampton in Cumberland. Management within the flocks followed the practice normal for the different breeds. Most ewes were 2½ to 4½ years old at the start of treatment; a few younger ewes (1½ years) and some aged ewes were also involved.
The progeny assessment of dairy sires for milk: the use of contemporary comparisons
Authors: Robertson Alan , Stewart A. , Ashton E. D. 
Published: July 2016

In the Proceedings of this Society two years ago, A. T. G. Macarthur (1954) presented a method for the evaluation of dairy sires under farm conditions. Since that time, considerable use has been made of this technique in the Bureau of Records of the Milk Marketing Board and in this paper we propose to discuss the method critically, in the light of the results obtained on over 1,500 bulls.As the experience we have gained has considerable bearing on the validity of this method, it would perhaps be valuable at the beginning to view the general problem of testing dairy bulls under British conditions. What evidence have we that the use of contemporary comparisons is the best tool that we have available for the assessment of dairy bulls? We must bear in mind here that we have two distinct problems. The first is the assessment of bulls used in A.I. whose daughters have been bred and milked in many herds. The second is the assessment of bulls used in natural service.
Oestrogens in lamb and mutton production
Authors: Preston T. R. , Gee Isoline 
Published: July 2016

Subcutaneous implantation of the synthetic oestrogens, hexoestrol and stilboestrol is known to increase the daily rate of live-weight gain and to improve the efficiency of food utilisation in lambs (see review by Averill, 1955; Wilkinson et al., 1955; Gill et al.,1956; Jordan & Croom, 1956).A critical review of these reports shows that despite the numerous experiments testifying to increased and more efficient weight gains as a result of implantation it is not known how much of this extra gain is represented by products saleable for human consumption. Further there is only limited information relating to the chemical composition of the increased live-weight and none concerning the precise nature of the increased efficiency of food conversion in units other than live-weight.
Milk from pasture in New Zealand
Authors: McG.Cooper M. 
Published: July 2016

It is difficult for the visitor to New Zealand to realise that practically all of the five million acres of pasture land now devoted to dairying was, a matter of seventy years ago, dense rain-forest, scrubland or undrained swamp. Practically the whole of the Manawatu and Taranaki and large portions of the Waikato and North Auckland, which are the principal dairying districts today, were in forest when the introduction of refrigerated ocean transport in 1882 made possible the development of New Zealand’s dairy industry.The first step in bringing in forest was the felling of giant trees such as rimu, matai and totara and the undergrowth of smaller trees and vines. Sometimes the bigger timber trees were milled, but too often they were merely felled and the fire-stick was applied to leave an indescribable mess of partially burned trunks and stumps.
Sheep farming in New Zealand
Authors: Wannop A. R. 
Published: July 2016

New Zealand is primarily an agricultural country. Sixty per cent of all its production, including nearly 100% of its exports, comes from farms and is produced by only 17% of the total labour force. Within the agricultural industry sheep farming is dominant. Wool provides between one-third and one-half of the total exports and lamb and mutton about one-sixth. Over 90% of the wool and lamb produced and about 50% of the mutton is exported.The prominent place that wool occupies in New Zealand’s farming strikes any visitor from Britain. The wool cheque naturally exceeds the income from other sources on the sheep stations of the Southern Alps where Merino sheep are grazed, but on lower hill farms selling cast-for-age or surplus two-tooth ewes to fat-lamb breeding farms and store lambs to hogget fatteners the wool cheque is still usually more than half the income.
Mrs Blue Gum, Some Puppets and a Remnant Forest: Towards Sustainability Education through Drama Pedagogy
Authors: Appleby Ellen 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThis paper focuses on a case study of the collaborative development of an environmental education unit involving the use of puppetry and drama. The collaboration was between an experienced classroom teacher beginning to use drama, and a drama/environmental educator and researcher. The critical lens for the analysis was sustainability education, including how this aligns with some recent theory on multiplist and evaluativist meaning-making. It is argued that these modes of meaning-making are necessary pedagogical goals of an eco-connected pedagogy. This case study showed that collaborative planning, implementation and reflection of drama pedagogy was not only a catalyst for more complex and deeper levels of meaning-making for the classroom teacher, but also prompted discussion about other important issues such as the quality of student engagement, classroom power dynamics and authentic assessment. In addition the teacher observed a range of outcomes achieved by her students that align with sustainability education as they became immersed in a dramatic world. In particular she observed that the students, through role-playing and writing about points of view not necessarily their own, developed deeper understandings demonstrating multiplist and evaluativist meaning creation.
Critical Contextual Reviews and Development of Interpretive Materials with Teachers in Kenya
Authors: Atiti Abel Barasa 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThis paper shares findings from a recent study that engaged a group of Kenyan teachers in a review and development of interpretive materials through a participatory action research framework. It focuses on critical contextual reviews of interpretive materials in non-formal organisations and development of similar materials in schools with teachers. Social interactions between teachers and non-formal educators enabled the sharing of ideas, skills and techniques on materials development processes. This provided a basis for developing interpretive materials to support environmental learning within school grounds. A teacher-centred approach to materials development as argued in this paper seeks to respect the needs of schools within their social and historical contexts. It further challenges the conventional top-down approaches in which non-formal educators are creators of materials and teachers are viewed as “technicians” who implement the materials in schools. The paper offers some tentative guidelines on the development of interpretive materials in schools.
If they Treated the Whole World like a National Park: Environmental Education by Teachers and Rangers
Authors: Slattery Deirdre , Lugg Alison 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThis paper considers the role of rangers and education officers who present and represent their park on school trips to national parks, and their interactions with teachers who organise those trips. These shared encounters are commonplace events. They have an important potential and actual role in environmental education, but have not been the subject of much research. Both the teachers' environmental education objectives and the possibilities offered by parks are wide: nature study, ecology, parks as natural and cultural heritage, land management and community issues, recreational activities and their consequences. However this breadth of potential activity possibly exacerbates a gap between the two cultures that meet on such encounters, a gap that needs to be addressed if the participants are to be able to maximise their shared and separate concerns.Using semi-structured interviews, our research looked at the strengths and limitations of several school visits for both teachers and ranger. In this paper we report particularly on the importance of the ranger in the process. We suggest that the role of the ranger is an undervalued and under-supported link in effective environmental education.
Developing a Partnership between the Riverina Environmental Education Centre and Charles Sturt University
Authors: Boylan Colin , Collins Keith 
Published: July 2016

AbstractA collaborative partnership has evolved between the Riverina Environmental Education Centre (REEC) and Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga. The Riverina Environmental Education Centre (REEC) is one of 24 Department of Education and Training environmental education centres in New South Wales (see www.reec.nsw.edu.au). As part of this partnership relationship, final year BTeach(Sec)/BSc students have worked with REEC and CSU staff on developing learning materials that support and enrich the programs offered through the REEC. In particular, these students have developed materials focussing on exploring student understanding about biodiversity and salinity. Additionally, the development of web based learning activities that use regional scientists as exemplars of current scientific research and possible career options (called Real Science) has occurred. Through this partnership arrangement, it has been a ‘win-win’ outcome for REEC staff, CSU staff and the CSU final year secondary science students with all participants gaining valuable insights and pedagogical understandings from the partnership.
