On numerous occasions, in the midst of typing for twenty other librarians and bibliographers, Virginia Davis of the Reference and Collection Development Office has provided superb secretarial support, which is very much appreciated. Finding the resources to do a thorough revision of this splendid bibliography is a high priority. This new practice, conceived as a money saver, has many implications which need to be explored. Judith Rowe and Liza Cziffra continue to be unfailingly helpful in all matters relating to the codebooks.
Continuity is very important in codebooks problem solving.
We have been fortunate in having our very able Summer Assistant, Sara Asher, continue through the academic year with the promise of returning in September 1993 for her Senior year. Following the lead of Sara, a very proficient computer user, most communications from SF with the folks at the Computing Center are done electronically. I appreciated the invitation to meet with two sections of Economics 313, Prof. Cecilia Rouse's Topics in Labor Economics, to talk about the codebooks. The four page handout I prepared for the occasion, was well received and has henceforth been appropriate for a wide range of users, including all of the Social Science Reference Center Library Assistants. This spring Herb Abelson, a seasoned researcher with impressive credentials, was appointed to a new position in the Woodrow Wilson School where he will be advising students in research methodology.
