Noted Writers Visit UIfor Accent/Ascent Exhibit

Lovers of twentieth-century Americanliterature recently had a rare doubletreat-a fascinating behind-the-scenesglimpse of two famous literarymagazines, and a chance to meet some ofthe country's most respected authors.

Novelists Stanley Elkin, William Gass,and Gordon Weaver, poets Carol Piermanand Brendan Galvin, and film critic RogerEbert were featured speakers at thetwo-day symposium, "From Accent toAscent: Fifty Years of Literary Magazinesat the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign," held April 5 and 6.

In conjunction with the symposium, amonth-long exhibit in the Rare Book andSpecial Collections Library, drawn fromthe University Archives' extensiveAccent/Ascent collection, featured dozensof letters, manuscripts, and photos fromsome of the most famous writers of thecentury.

The exhibit and symposium were heldto honor both the magazines themselvesand the memory of UI English ProfessorDan Curley, an editor of Accent and thefounder of Ascent who died lastDecember.

Novelist Stanley Elkin

Accent, the creation of the late UIEnglish Professor J. Kerker Quinn,wielded an influence on twentieth-century literature all out of proportion toits modest, barely 2,000 circulation.

Contributors during its life, from 1940to 1960, included well-known writers likeKatherine Ann Porter and WallaceStevens as well as then total unknownslike Flannery O'Connor, William Gass,and J.F. Powers, all of whose literarycareers got their start with Accent.

In 1975, Dan Curley filled the void leftby Accent's demise by starting Ascent,devoted to works by new writers.

"These little magazines are the onlyplace literature is happening in thiscountry, and the only place I foresee ithappening, and the only place it willhappen for a long time," Mr. Gass toldan overflow audience at the openingsymposium. "All those people, like DanCurley, who gave their lives for so longare not just a scratch on the literary scene,but they also made it happen. I wasprivileged to be in their company."

Visitors had the chance to see just howthe magazines made it happen in thefascinating exhibit mounted by UI EnglishProfessor George Hendrick and graduatestudent Robert Steltman.

Among the items were the enthusiasticrouting slip for Mr. Gass's first acceptedstory, correspondence from EudoraWelty about Ida M'Toy, about whom shewrote one of her most noted short stories,a letter from Brendan Galvin askingeditors to consider the poems of histhen-unknown friend George Mills, andcorrespondence from e.e.cummingscomplaining about typesetting problems.

How did this little magazine manageto attract the writers it did? According toMr. Gass, it was the personal care andtalent of editors like Charles Shattuck andGeorge Scouffas, now both emeritusprofessors of English, and Dan Curley.

"I sent them something totally bad, butit was the right length-At Horseshoes,part of a novel I thought could, as theclich6 says, 'stand alone,'" reminiscedMr. Gass, who expected to receive theusual impersonal rejection slip for his firstsubmission.

"Then, an amazing thing happened.Chuck Shattuck wrote me back-aresponse, not just something dashed off.Here was a person who had actually readmy manuscript. That's an incredibleexperience even now, and respondingwas even more incredible."

From such correspondence, lifelongfriendships developed, as seen in thetremendous volume of correspondence inthe collection.

"Letters like these show people'shabits, people's ticks, people's attitudestowards their own manuscripts, andwhether or not they like or are defensiveabout changes," said poet BrendanGalvin. "It's of great value."

At the opening of the symposium,University Librarian David F. Bishopaccepted the donation by Mrs. Audrey(continued on page 2)

Library Is Resourcefor Employers,Employees Alike

It's not too often that labor andmanagement find something to agree on,but they both agree on at least onething-the usefulness of the UI's Laborand Industrial Relations Library.

Whether it's a question about howmany holidays one must give employeesor the latest information on regulationsfrom the Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA), they know theycan find the answer here.

"The UI has one of the largest laborcollections in the country," says headlibrarian Margaret Chaplan, "and muchof what we have is unique in the state. Infact, we are the only library in the statedevoted to this subject."

Among the library's holdings are copiesof contracts from hundreds of unionsaround the country (some dating as farback as 1902), microfilms of all theconference proceedings of nearly 80unions since their beginnings,continually updated information ongovernment regulations and guidelinesaffecting the workplace, hard-to-findunion newspapers and industrialmanagement journals, and journals andbooks on a wide variety of topics affectinglabor and industrial relations.

There is even an extensive newspaperclipping file on Chicago union activitiesand a small collection on unions incountries from Austria to Yugoslavia.

Says Ron Peters, head of laboreducation programs at the UI's Instituteof Labor and Industrial Relations, "Theyhave everything we need all in one place,which isn't the case with other general orbusiness libraries. No matter what thesubject, like the minimum wage issue,they have the various viewpoints, fromthe Chamber of Commerce to theAFL-CIO."

Of particular significance toresearchers, workers, and managementalike is the library's collection of looseleafservices dealing with legal and regulatoryaspects of labor and management. Theseinclude services on labor relations,including labor law, employee rights, andother legal requirements of businesses;OSHA regulations; collective bargainingnegotiations, including sample contractclauses and actual settlements; andpersonnel management.

"We get a lot of calls from people bothwithin and outside the university to lookat court opinions or arbitrators' awards tosee how the law seems to be developingin a particular area," says Ms. Chaplan,"and we always get calls for statistics orfor information on how other employersare handling issues like smoking."

The library also has an importantcollection of union contracts from manyindustries, which labor, management,and historians alike find very useful.

"When people think of collectivebargaining, they often think of the reallyexciting stuff," says Ms. Chaplan, "butstrikes are the exception, rather than therule. There are thousands of negotiationssettled peacefully every year, as ourcontract collection shows.

"Still, you can learn a lot about what'sgoing on in the workplace by readingsome of these contracts," she continues."For instance, we have one contract froma public library in New York City in whicha whole page is devoted to whatconstitutes excessive heat in theworkplace, and another long clausedevoted to how many smocks theemployer should provide. It just givesyou great insight into the problems atsome of these places."

Heat, in fact, seems to be a commonproblem for many workers. "When it getshot in the summer, I always get callsabout whether there are governmentregulations or limits on temperatures,"she says.

But the library isn't limited to materialon labor unions and workplaceregulations. It also has importantcollections dealing with arbitration andmanagement issues. Only a handful ofother libraries in the country have boththis kind of interdisciplinary informationand a labor collection all under one roof.

"Within our own building, we can findthe key journals in social science, law,arbitration, sociology, and economics,which otherwise could only be foundspread all over campus," says ProfessorMelvin Rothbaum, who specializes incomparative industrial relations, laborlaw, and public policy. "The library is justessential to the research we do, and it'sone of the greatest resources of thisinstitute."

The newest improvement to thisresource just started in January, as Ms.Chaplan began work on an ambitiousproject to create a labor and industrialrelations bibliographic database reflectingacquisitions after January 1989.

"There is no available database for thisfield," she says. "If you want to do asearch on labor or human resourcemanagement, for example, you have tosearch all the management databases andpull out labor and human resourcemanagement."

Although a database specifically aboutlabor issues is available for use throughthe Canadian government, it does notcover the same range of subjects and isnot research-oriented. Another databaseproduced by the International LaborOffice does not cover the United States inenough detail.

"I hope eventually to do a retrospectiveconversion of my acquisitions lists since1972," adds Ms. Chaplan. "That wouldmake our database older than any other,but at the moment, I don't have the staffor money to do it."

Meanwhile, with summer just aroundthe corner, Ms. Chaplan is gearing up forthe usual round of inquiries on heat inthe workplace. "The Occupational Safetyand Health Administration (OSHA) doeshave limits," she says, "but unfortu-nately, it's only for foundries."

I I Archives Receives TwoImportant AgriculturalCollections

The records of the National Associationof Farm Broadcasters (NAFB) and thephoto files of C.F. Marley, one of thecountry's top agricultural photographers,have found a new home at the UIArchives.

The NAFB collection joins more thanthirty other associations that have placedtheir records in the UI Archives. Thecollection includes association minutes,newsletters, bulletins, radio listeners'surveys, and other items covering theassociation's 46-year history.

The collection also contains hundredsof photographs of farm radio andtelevision personalities and associationevents, and biographies of the mostnotable members.

"This is an important collection becausean important part of agricultural researchis taking your findings to the public andkeeping them aware of current trends,markets, and practices," says UniversityArchivist Maynard Brichford. "For manyyears, radio was the only means of doingthis, and these are the people who did it."

Among the many farm broadcastersdocumented in this collection are EverettMitchell, who began his career in 1926and was best known as the master ofceremonies for NBC's National Farm andHome Hour, farm radio pioneer JohnMerrifield of WWJ-Radio in Detroit, MalHansen, who hosted CBS and NBC farmprograms in the '50s and '60s, and MaryLou Pfeiffer, Ohio's most popular womanradio personality in the '40s.

This collection will be the first for whichthe Archives will identify documents ofbibliographic value to researchers forentry into a subject-area database, inaddition to creating a traditional archivalfinding aid. The database belongs to theUI's Agricultural CommunicationsDocumentation Center.

"This will increase the usage of theNAFB material by students andresearchers," says James Evans, head ofthe UI's Office of AgriculturalCommunications and Education. "Thedatabase uses a computerized search andretrieval system to identify material bytopic, source, year, and the like, and nowresearchers will be able to identifymaterial from the Archives and tie it inwith the rest of our collection."

The Marley Collection of photographs,negatives, and slides covers the 40-yearcareer of agricultural photographer ofC.F. Marley, of Nokomis, IL.

Marley has been credited by many farmeditors as the most published U.S.photojournalist of agricultural technology

From the Librarian:'Playing Around'

Paul Lacy, professor of English atEarlham College, in an address to aconference of the Association of Collegeand Research Libraries, spoke of anexperience with online searching.

Online searching is the retrieval ofjournal titles on a subject of interest froma database, in this case, located far awayfrom the library. The searching sessionhad been arranged to educate ProfessorLacy about new technologies in librariesas a means of assisting him in thepreparation of his address.

In describing the search session,Professor Lacy said, "The librarian whohelped me with my computer searchesdiscouraged one line of approach bysaying gently that computer time waspretty expensive for playing around."

"Playing around," of course, is one ofthe most enjoyable and often productiveactivities one can do in a library, although

we often associate it with the moreacceptable word "serendipity."

Recently, optical disc systems havebegun to appear in a number of librariesat the UI, and among the most excitingaspects of these systems is that theyallow - even encourage - playing around.

These systems differ from remote,computerized databases that require a feefor each use. Instead, the optical discsystems use compact discs or CDs, similarto the CDs that have revolutionizedrecorded music, to store massive amountsof data right in the machine itself. TheCDs, which include microcomputerprograms to control the searches, permitthe retrieval of journal titles by author,title, and subject from machine-readableindexes such as the Reader's Guide toPeriodical Literature, the Modern LanguageAssociation Bibliography, and many others.

Now the library user, without theassistance or interference of a library staffmember, can sit at a microcomputer anduse a simple menu to experiment withdifferent approaches to finding what heor she wants. Now it is possible to typein words of interest just to see what willhappen. It is also possible to type ingeneral words and then scan throughlong lists of both relevant and irrelevantarticles, choosing from among them onlythe ones of interest.

When an item of interest is found, onepresses the print button to create anindividualized bibliography on theattached printer. All of this can be doneat no expense to the user because theLibrary subscribes to the CD database inthe same way it would subscribe to aprinted index.

The freedom, simplicity, and absenceof cost, not to mention the sheer fun ofjust playing around, have all contributedto making optical disc systems among themost popular additions to the Library inrecent years.-David F. Bishop, University Librarian

C.F. Marley and his wife, Mary Anne, look over someMarley slides during a recent visit to the UI Archives.

from the mid-50s to the early '80s.Included in the collection are photos of

many first-of-a-kind inventions orfarming techniques, including strip-tillcorn planters, which preceded thezero-till planters; George McGibben's firstzero-till planter; the first Dickey-Johnseed monitor; Henry Larson's firstpneumatic grain probe; and tandemtractors, which preceded the four-wheeldrive.

"The Marley Collection undoubtedly isof great significance for our collection,"says Mr. Brichford. "Some verysignificant changes took place in farmingtechniques over these years, particularlyin tillage systems, and these photographsare valuable as evidence of thosechanging techniques."

The indexing of these photographs andslides is being supported by the IllinoisAgricultural Experiment Station as a wayof helping make them widely available toresearchers.

Quotables"I am a very prejudiced person. I

worship books and libraries. In mylexicon the burning of the great library atAlexandria rates as one of the worst actsin man's history. But I do not think I ammistaken in my high regard for theLibrary of the University of Illinois.

"My field is Russia. After half a lifetimeas a correspondent in Moscow I haveturned to history. I cannot count the timesI brought to the Slavic and East EuropeanLibrary difficult, obscure, impossiblequestions. They never missed. I don'tmean they had all the answers. No onehas. But they knew why and they knewwhere to search not only at Illinois, butin the other great collections of the world,including those in Moscow andLeningrad. Illinois is not just books, it istechnology, know-how and a wonderfulprofessional staff.

"For ten years I have been working ona complex enigma connected with theRussian Revolution. My files now containthousands of words and notes resultingfrom Illinois' creative assistance. I do notknow whether the enigma will ever beresolved, but if so credit will go to thisamazing public institution. Its Slaviccollections now rival those of the Libraryof Congress and the Lenin Library inMoscow. It is one of the world's wonders,a scholar's dream, one of the prides ofthis country."

Alum Donates 4,000Recordings to MusicLibrary

Frank W. Smith, a 1941 alumnus injournalism of the University of Illinois,has donated his extensive collection of4,000 phonograph recordings to the UI'sMusic Library.

The collection is one of the largest everto be donated to the Music Library,according to Music Librarian WilliamMcClellan.

The albums include not only standardorchestral and operatic music, but alsospecial genres such as Gregorian chant,jazz, military bands and choruses, andfolk music traditions. Some of the moreunusual items include many recordingsdistributed only in Western Europe onsuch labels as Deutsche Grammophon,Eurodisc, Telefunken, and Polydor.

"This is an important collection, sinceit fairly well covers the entire long-playingdisc era and because it includes so manyEuropean labels," says Mr. McClellan. "Itwill make a strong resource for researchon instrumental performance practice."

Also donated by Mr. Smith were 175record magazines and music books,wooden shelving for the recordings,reviews of some of the albums, and ameticulously organized catalog providingimmediate access to the collection.

Mr. Smith, a 69-year-old native andlongtime resident of Watseka, IL, startedbuilding his collection in 1958 whilestationed in Germany with the Army. Hiscommanding officer gave him an oldmonophonic record player and some oldMantovani records.

"Playing those few records over andover again, for want of any others,hooked me on phonograph records,"remembers Mr. Smith, who startedbuying German beer hall music andpopular selections available in Europe.

When another army friend introducedhim to classical music, however, hisinterest grew to include everything fromBaroque music to jazz. In particular, hedeveloped a liking for Heinrich Schutz.

"I went to considerable effort inpurchasing virtually every Schutz recordwhich came to my attention," he says,"including making mail purchases inEurope, and I was particularly pleased tolocate an incredibly complete Schutzdiscography-complete, that is, at thetime it was published privately inGermany."

When Mr. Smith retired from activeduty in the mid-'70s and returned toWatseka, he helped run a monthly musicappreciation class at the local library and

allowed the local radio station to use hisrecordings for a weekly classical musicshow.

In 1988, he decided to leave Watsekafor retirement in Washington, D.C., andinstructed his longtime friend, John Bell,to donate the entire collection to the UI.

"Frank was an avid listener to WILL(the UI's classical music station),"explains Mr. Bell. "He figured that if therecords were at the university, then WILLwould have access to them. So, hespecifically wanted the records to go tothe university."

Says Nancy Stagg, music director forWILL-FM, "This will be a good place tolook for recordings we can't findanywhere else, particularly when we getunusual requests for our 'Classics byRequest' program."

Motley Exhibit Visits UIand Major U.S. Cities

"Design by Motley," the Library'sexhibition from its collection of set andcostume designs by the famed Motleygroup, had its Urbana-Champaignpremiere January 24, 1989, at theKrannert Center for the Performing Arts.

Nearly 250 Friends and guests attendedthe reception honoring the exhibit, whichfeatured recreated costumes, miniatureset reconstructions, design sketches, anda videotaped interview with Motley.

Introducing the exhibit were UIChancellor Morton W. Weir, formerLibrary Friends President EdwinScharlau, and English Professor MichaelMullin, who discovered the collection andwas instrumental in securing it for theuniversity in 1981.

The collection has attractedinternational interest, especially since itsshowing in the spring of 1988 at LosAngeles' UK/LA '88-A Celebration ofBritish Arts festival.

Friends living in Austin, Washington,D.C., and New York City will get a chanceto see this exciting exhibit. "Design byMotley" will be at the University of Texasat Austin's Performing Arts Centerthrough mid-June. It will also bedisplayed at the Kennedy Center Libraryand the Lincoln Center Library later thisyear. The exhibit was shown in the BostonPublic Library in February and March.The national tour is funded by a majorgrant to the Library from the NationalEndowment for the Humanities, withadditional assistance from the UIFoundation and the College of LiberalArts and Sciences.

Judaica Collection ReceivesTwo Major Donations

Two separate donations of $5,000 each,one from the Lucius N. LittauerFoundation and one from retired NewYork accountant Allen Toby, have beengiven to the Library's Judaica collection.

The donations are the largest everreceived by the collection and will formthe new Ruth H. Toby Memorial JudaicaBook Fund. Mrs. Toby died in 1988.

"This marks a major turning point inJudaica studies on this campus because itallows us to make real progress in ourlibrary collection," says Gary Porton,director of the UI's Program of ReligiousStudies. "The Library has always beensignificant to us, and these gifts will reallyenhance the offerings we can provide toour students."

The Littauer Foundation gift was theresult of a luncheon date between Mr.Toby's son, UI History Professor RonaldToby, and the head of the LittauerFoundation, William Frost, who was anold family friend.

"He asked my son if Illinois had aJewish studies program," remembers Mr.Toby, "because he wanted to make adonation in memory of my wife. I was soimpressed with that gift that I decided tomatch it."

The gift from the Littauer Foundationwill be used immediately to purchasebooks published in Europe on Jewishculture, society, language, and literature.

The gift from Mr. Toby will form anendowment whose interest will provideongoing funds for book purchases overthe years. The donation also will beconsidered part of the funds raised for theNational Endowment for the Humanitieschallenge grant, which providesmatching dollars for such donations.
