~ FROM THE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE ‘
I would like to ask that broken glass not be put into regular office trash
cans. Recently a janitor emptying a trash can which had broken glass in
it seriously cut himself. Please call any broken glass to the attention
of the janitorial staff (or to the attention of Pat Lloyd in the Director's
Office who can contact the janitorial staff for you.) Thanks.

99th ANNUAL AMERICAN LIBRARY CONFERENCE NOTES
Gail Kennedy participated in a panel discussion on "Vendor Performance
Evaluation" at the Concerence in New York City. She was also elected during
the Conference to be Chairperson of the Acquisitions Discussion Group of the ·
Resources and Technical Services Division of ALA.
Patrick Mullin of OCLC said his office was bothered constantly by people who
wanted to know what OCLC stood for and how do you spell it? It once stood
for Ohio College Library Center but since this is now a commercial outfit
the initials mean nothing but the name of the company. He is thinking of
telling everyone that it stands for "Over the Counter Library Cards!"
This fall OCLC will start changing Samuel Langhorne Clemens to Mark Twain
on—line in the 100, 600, 700 fields. They are pushing rapidly ahead in
eliminating duplicates on line and swear they will not wipe out microfilm
duplicates.

The Resources and Technical Services Division membership meeting has an ex-
a cellent annual event that all serial publishers should be required to attend.
This is the awards given out to the Worst Serial Title Changes of the year.
This year the Grand Award loving cup (which turned out to be a brand new waste
basket) was given to UNESCO Bulletin which changed its name to UNESCO Journal
of Information Science, Librarianship and Archives Administration. (Poor
Evelyn Evans has already coped with this one for UK. For all the changes she
does, surely she needs an award of some kind!) We were told that Australia
publishes a magazine called "You Name It" which is devoted to naming serials
and other things so that they will never have to be renamed.
A black librarian had put together a film showing the horrors of the Ku Klux
Klan and had taken it all over the U.S. and Europe where she had received
much applause. On returning to her home she was astounded to discover that
the K.K.K. were using a duplicate copy of her film to recruit new members!
The most interesting speaker at the conference was Sharon Percy Rockefeller,
the wife of the governor of West Virginia (and daughter of Senator Percy of
Illinois). She spoke on the problems of ERA without the usual emotion but
in a down-to—earth way that was most refreshing. She pointed out that so
many women did not know what it was all about and had even had some say to
her: "They will make me go out and work!" And in reply to the old chestnut
about men and women sharing restrooms she noted that the constitution guar-
antees "the right of privacy." She said that only l2 votes now prevent the
passage of ERA. Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and Illinois are the main
targets for compaigning as the losses in each of those states was so small.
Speakers from the floor said Miami and Atlanta voters were so ashamed of
their states that they were trying to secede! .
when asked about the popularity of Phyllis Schlafly Ms. Rockefeller said
after all she was physically attractive, had been to law school, had money,
charisma, a total disregard for truth and the facts and played on the fears,
and ignorance of women. What the ERA really needs is a middle—of—the—roader
who has not developed a way—out image, who has charisma plus the sharp blade
of debate who could stand up and crucify Ms. Schlafly in public for all the
world to see.
OTHER COMMENTS HEARD AT ALA
The librarian who wanted to change the subject heading from Pidgen English
to Pidgeons — Language.
Decade pronounced "Deckid."
Technical services are too important to be left to computers and catalogers.
Thinking is non-productive on the face of it and is hard to explain to budget
, officers.
A computer is not magic and can be used as inefficiently as manual systems.

AND FINALLY
New York was as much fun as ever. We liked a restaurant called "The House
of Grill Repute" and came across a bookmark that proclaimed: "I'm a novel
lover but I'm booked for tonight." And saw a marvelous 22 member wedding
party emerging from St. Patrick's on Fifth Avenue amid showers of rice and
‘ the bridal couple left in a white Rolls Royce. Fresh squeezed orange juice
stands were on every corner, as were lovers, dogs, and drunks.
KENTUCKY ORAL HISTORY COMMISSION MEETING
At their last meeting, David Farrell, Collection Development, King Library
y requested $2,500 to help finance an oral history study of Kentucky writers.
Mr. Farrell explained that most of the requested funds would be applied
towards completing the oral history project on Robert Penn Warren which the
Committee had previously supported through grants. After discussion, a mo-
C ~ tion was made by Dr. Clark to award the project the funding as requested.
The motion was seconded by General Buster, approved by the Committee.
y THANK YOU ALISON!
Many thanks to Alison Arnold, Special Collections, for editing the Green Bean
so very well during the editor's absence while attending the Conference in
  New York.

1* I presume that the Kclmscott books are pub-
lished for your own amusemeugbecause I have
cnquircd extensively and {ind they do not amuse
any one else.They are very dull books, much more
dull than Law books and Medical books,and there
i are only two on your list, the Sha/ecspcime Sonnets
and the Keats, which I should prefer to a Post
Ofiice Directory You ignore the great masters of
printing, such as Bodoni, Foulis, Baskerville, and
Vv’hittingham. All these men printed books in read-
` able type and ofa convenient size at a modest price.
\Vhat is a readable type?
Not thc Gothic type, which is like this.
\Vhat is a convenient size for a book?
Not one foot six inches by twelve, and ofthe weight _
of a good—sized dumb-bell. _
If you were consistent, your Printing Press would
exist for the sake of spreading knowledge. As it is, i
` your publications appeal to capitalists and others
ofthe wealthy lower classes,who buy their books
i ` in order to fill so many yards of shelf space.Your
. I books are bric—d-bmc, and they appeal only to a - s
class which I am told you are continually condem-
I ning. I could forgive you much if the types were
not so ill chosen.
This is my favourite type.
