This second issue of Volume 14 initiates some changes in the publication. For one thing, this is the first issue for which I am responsible . Secondly, there is now a division of responsibilities with Alice McKenzie, W ' s first Business Manager, taking over the business records and the actual printing and distribution of the newsletter. Please send your remittances and inquiries about non-receipt to her. My role is to receive the copy and to prepare it for publication. Deadlines for each issue are given below. I look forward to working with you and welcome your comments and suggestiona. Thanks are always in order to our faithful columnists and contributors and especially to the editor for the past two years, Cindy Larter.

The first item below is a request from Carol Billings for input concerning recomandatlons currently under study on SIS structure. This follows the article on the same subject by Renee Chapman in the August issue. Please take the time to submit your comments to Carol, copying your SIS chairs. lpsclL readers know what energetic, viable sections these are. However, I have been concerned for some tima that that knowledge is not commonly held. I have suggested that TS and OBS section chairs consider submitting abbreviated reports to the w l e t t w from time to time. Committee chairs could do this as well. I certainly do not want to diminish the copy coming to my desk, but I think we should publicize our activities beyond these pages.

Carol Billings, Chair, SIS Council Law Library of Louisiana

Upon the recommendation of the Special Committee on Organizational Structure, the Executive Board has asked the SIS Council to solicit comments from all SIS members, to deliberate, and to report its reaction to the Special Committee's report in time for study prior to the March 1989 board meeting. In order to prepare its response by the prescribed January deadline, the SIS Council needs members' opinions immediately, no later than December 2. Please mail your comments regarding any of the following Special Committee recommendations to your SIS chair:

Each year the member8 of the TS-SIS submit a wide range of program becrlgned to appeal to A W L mrabers from all types of law llbrarles, Thls year 1s no exceptlon. The Chalr of the Education Conulttee, Joan Howland, has approved two TS-SIS workshops, and the Program Chair, Hark B~tes, ha8 glven his final approval to elght TS-SIB programs for the 1989 Reno meeting.

A workshop entltled 'Onllne Publlc catalog: Issues and Answers for Law Libraries* co-sponsored by the Readers' Servlces SIS and OBS-Sfs, wlll focus on the lmpact and management of online public access catalogs. For those unable to attend the workshop, the program "Quallty Control In an Onllne Bnvlrontnent" wlll complement the workshop, and 1s scheduled during the conventlon.

~Weeding/Deselectlon of Library CollectionsH is a workshop that will address the who, what, why, where, and when of deselection and weeding in firm, academic, and public law llbraries

"No Variations on a Theme: Uniform Titles" is a program that is being coordinated by Richard Amelung and will be held after the Sunday business meeting. Technical services librarians will not want to miss this program. However, public services librarians interested in knowing how this material 1s organized, should also plan on attending. Other programs selected for Reno include :

--HCollection Development Policies: An Unnecessary Hindrance or a Needed Blessing?w co-sponsored by the Academi c S I S .

--"LC Classification in Firm and Corporate Law Libraries,' co-sponsored by the Private Law Libraries 81s.

--'Law Book Paper a Binding: Why They Aren't Better & What We Can DO,^ co-sponsored by the Committee on Relations with Information Vendors.

--"The New Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 1988. ' --"Technical Services Librarians: Flight or Fight?H

co-sponsored by the Academic SIS.

Remember that plannlng for the Minneapolis convention in 1990 begins when the 1989 Membership Surveys are mailed to the members of TS-SIB. It is from this survey that Cindy Larter, vlce Chair/Chalr Elect, the Executive Board and the Standing Committee Chairs will select program topics, as well as individuals who are interested in coordlnatfng programs. Please take the time to complete this survey1

AcQuisitions a

A By Marilyn K. Nicely University of Oklahoma Law Library

A little over a year ago I saw an article in Jaurnal about University Press Books. But I was never able to locate an addresa or a phone number (even in the OCLC name address directory). So I finally turned to Columbia University--and used my %onnectlons" to get the information inserted at the end of this column. University Press Books looks like a special source to solve a special problem.

Readers, do any of you have any information you'd like to share? Please consider calling me up or writing a line to be included in this column. I imagine most of you have read Volume 11, no. 1 of CBLy Sheet (formerly Publications Clearlna House -1 which will now appear three times annually as a supplement of the MtJI m. I suppose ultimately there

6

may be a need to review the relationship of this column to u. It is good to see acquisitions issues in a more general, less specialized forum. COmn"kS3

The following information was provided by Marie P. Wolkoff, Head of Resources, Columbia University Law School Library:

University Press Books, a department of the New School for Social Research in New York City, is a specialty bookstore devoted to the publications of university presses. The store stocks new titles from all American university presses, a growing number of Canadian and British university presses, and a smattering of other foreign university presses which publish titles in the English language. In addition, University Press Books maintains a backlist in all subject areas. The backlist began accumulating with the opening of the store in 1986 and rarely predates 1986.

Orders may be placed by phone, by mall or in person. When ordering, it is helpful to keep in mind that the store stocks titles published by the designated press of a university (Columbia University Press, Ohio State Universlty Press, etc.) and not the publications of a university's various other presses. In-stock titles are processed by the day following receipt of order and shipped UPS, If a title is not in stock, the store will special order it. These titles are ordered directly by and for the bookstore and then shipped to the customer. The store is located at 65 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10003. It 1s a part of the New School complex but does have a direct entrance on East 14th Street as well as an entrance through the School itself. The telephone number is (212) 206-1574.

Please send any questions that you may have about descriptive cataloging to the editors of this column. We will either answer your individual letter, or we will pass your question along to the Library of Congress. The editors want to thank Ben Tucker and his staff, partlcularly Adele Hallam, Senior Descriptive Cataloging Specialist in the office for Descriptive Cataloging Policy at the Library of Congress, for taking time to answer our questlons.

Question no. 1 When is the Library of Congress going to establish a uniform

title for the Canadian Constitution? Record DCLC83174350 is for a work that is nothing but the text of the constitution with all of its amendments, but someone entered the work under the compiling agency. We think it was just to avoid having to come up with a uniform title1 The Constitution Act, 1982 changed all of the old citation titles in the British North American acts to the Constitution Act. However, even though the Australian

7

constitution has a citation title for the constitution, the uniform title in the authority file Is "Constitution.H see NAFL8040172 for Australia's uniform title.

Answer no. 1 Ben Tucker raplled to the question8 about the unlforrn titles

for the Canadian and Australian constitutions this way: "Our record 83-174350 1s certainly one that can be held up to ridicule, and the sooner we correct it the better. We have declded we should not have omitted the word 'Act,' so that the forms would be [Constitution Act, 18671 and [Constitution Act, 19821. Then the headlng for the Australian constltutlon would be: Australla. [Constitution Act1 arriving at this form on the basis of rule 25.3B, RI 25.3B, and the citation title ('Short title: This act may be cited as the Commonwealth of Australia

~

Constitution Act.')" EDITORS' NOTE: DCLC record 83-174350-b, revised in June - ~ _ _ _ _ _

1988 shows that LC changed the entry, and established uniform titles for both the 1867 and 1982 Canadian constitution. Our intent is never to ridicule LC records; someone could always point a finger at some of our records and giggle! The two authority records for the Canadian constitutions also reflect the latest LC revisions.

Record DCLC 81-172959-b shows an added entry for the Australian Constltutlon Act. The cross references on the authority record NAFL 8040172 from Great Britain as the enacting jurisdiction reflect the new LC rule interpretation, LCRI 21.33A, for constitutions, charters and other fundamental laws. Previously under M C R 2 21.33A, these cross references would have originally been added entrlcs i f the work had been entered under the Australian Constitution Act. Now the new rule interpretation states that "Because this method provides for the needed access point only when the main entry headlng is the jurisdiction for whlch the constltution, etc. was enacted but not when such a constitution, etc., is given as an added or subject entry, the Llbrary of Congress uniformly makes an enacting jurlsdletlon/uniform title reference In the authority record for the governing jurisdiction/uniform title instead of the added entry called for by the rule."

Question no. 2 As discussed in question no. 1, LC has issued a new rule

interpretation for making cross references on authority records for enacting jurisdictions for constitutions instead of making added entries as per AACR2 21.33A. Similar rule interpretations were issued for 21.3181, Laws governing one jurisdiction; 21.35A1, International treaties; 21.35B, Agreements contracted by international governmental bodies; and 2J..35C, Agreements contracted by the Holy See. For each of these rules, LC now makes appropriate cross references in the authority records for the headings We wrote LC and asked: Is LC going to apply the new RI's on 21.3181, 21.33A, 21.3581 and 21.35C retrospectively? Or only on new works? Or selectively to older AACR 2 works as they come up? Is LC also going to send something to the Joint Steering Committee to initiate a rule change?

not chosen as main entries.

Answer no. 2 Adele Hallam wrote that LC would apply the LCRI "Chiefly

only on records for which new headings falling under these rules need to be established." She also stated that LC would be proposing a rule change.

Question no. 3 Most of our questions have been about uniform tltles. This

one is about description of titles. On the title page for California real estate forms and commentaries, the authors' names are not grammatically linked to the title. Their names do appear in full form after the title, however; the online record DCLC84- 922-b shows that their names have been recorded in the statement of responsibility. The CIP used an at head of title note, and did not include the authors' names as part of the title. DCLC record 84-922-b does include the authors' names as part of the title. Isn't a uniform title needed for this work, per AACR2 rule 25.3B? (oops, we did return to uniform tltles again, didn't we? 1

Answer no. 3 Hr. Tucker made the following comments: interpretation

is that because the statement of authorship follows the title, the ilUthor8' names given at the beginning of the title form an integral part of the title. Ergo, the title as transcribed is correct and no uniform title is needed. Because this type of transcription is quite common in law books and 1s handled differently by different catalogers, we shall consider making it clear by adding an example of i t in the RI."

~uestlon no. 4 Bani9 Dvorak at the Law Society of Upper Canada 1s curious

about the choice of entry for DCLC 08-9771-s, A fpr j& nf &h& Osntral Court. We realize that for older records

which appear in MARC format8 LC has made no attempt to change choice of entry even though the form of entry may be corrected to M C R 2 form. As a theoretical question, however8 if a collection such as this Manual were being cataloged today under AACR2, what do you think the choice of entry should be?

The Preservatlon Committee will sponsor a program next year on the quallty of materials w e d in law books. Tentatively titled, n L d r ~ Book Paper C Binding: Why They Aren't Better and What We Can 00," it8 co-coordinators &re Patricia Donham from the Preservation Committee and Stave Barkan from the Commlttea on Relations with Information Vendors. Representative3 from West Publlshing and Lawyers Co-op will talk about how they make decisions on paper and binding. There will also be a discussion of a survey t o be sent t o law pUblfSheH and reprinters a s k h g i f their publlcations conform t o publlahsd binding standarda, what

printers and binders they use, and if they plan any changes as a result of the recent resolutlon on paper standards approved by AALL .

The preservation column in the February 1989 issue of will include an article by guest editor Ellen HcOrath of the SUNY-Buffalo Law Library on their library's preservation program.

INSTITUTE REPORT. In September I attended "New Directions in Libraxy Binding: Life After 'Class A' , " in Atlanta, a 2-day institute planned by the Preservatlon of Library Materials Section of the Resources and Technical Services Division of the American Library Association and sponsored by the Library Binding Institute. There were 120 participants who came from as far away as Hawaii and Alaska. The speakers, 8 librarians and 3 binders, all had the same theme: we librarians need to educate ourselves about binding options and Standards, communicate with our binders, visit our binderies, write or revise contracts which specify preferred methods of leaf attachment and materials, and coordinate binding and preservation programs.

We learned that for years librarians have sent their unbound serials and monographs to their binders and assumed they would be returned in good, usable form. But now it is known that the former nusable" was usually oversewn, with tight inner margins and poor openabllity. Depending on the original sewing or adhesive and the size of the volume, there are other preferred types of binding which are used now. It 1s up to us to learn about then and to talk to our binders about making changes. We will be rewarded with books that open flat and stay open and can be photocopied easily.

Other speakers discussed contracts and written speclflcations, in-house repair, the materials used by library binders, quality control in the library, identifying and preserving volumes that should not be bound, and automation and mlcrofllmlng. On the second day, we broke up into small groups whlch evaluated individual serials and books and discussed suitable binding methods.

I will send copies of nOuidelines for Inspecting Library Bound Voluwsn and Viethods of Leaf Attachment: A Decision Tree for Library both single pages from the University of Connecticut Libraries, to those requesting them. Please write to Patricia Denham, University of Cincinnati Law Library, Hall Location 142, Cincinnati, Ohio 15221-0142.

A copy of the Library Binding Institute's 8th edition of the Standard pf is a necessity for a preservation conscious binding program. It provides specific standards which certified library binders should use and a common language for librarians and binders. Copies may be obtained for $5.00 prepaid from the Library Binding Institute, 8013 Centre Park Drive, Aust in, Texas 78754.

The nf Canarcss &!&ks!i -8 11th ed. has arrived! The three (3) red volumes include no less than 4,164 consecutively numbered pages, and collectlvely weigh about 29 lbs. Once we recover from the lnltlal shock over its s i z e and llkewlse hefty prlce ($150.00) , we can't help but notice some major dlfferences between and the earlier editions.

The greatest difference 1s in the termlnology used to expreas relatlonshlps. Instead of the traditional see, sa (see also), x (see from), and xx (see also from), the new list uses code8 whlch are standard to many thesauri: USE, NT (narrower term), UB (used for), BT (broader term), and RT (related term). Hem's an lllustratlon of the changes:

Not only have the relationship codes changed, the groups of associated headings are arranged in a different sequence. The new category RT (related term) 1s used for headings that had previously been llsted as sa and xx references. Note also that the "Indirect" instruction has been replaced by a much more comprehensible dlrectlon, "Hay Subd Geog." In some cases a decision not to allow geographic aubdlvlslon 1s indicated:

Clvil servlce (May Subd Geog) --Pensions (Not Subd Geog)

In her article "LC Subject Headings Dlsgulsed as a Thesaurus" (March 1, 1988 lssue of tibrarv -1, Hary Dykstra was extremely critical of the Llbrary of Congress dcclslon to use the codes associated with thesauri when the headings being llnked by these codes do not conform to the strlct hlerarchlcal

16

relationships which are standard to thesauri, Capital punishment, for instance, has had its new symbols applied by the computer in a mechanical fashion; no human has intervened to evaluate whether or not the BT/NT headings arc truly superordinate/subordlnate to Capital punishment.

Nevertheless, LC is making an attempt to embrace the principles of hierarchy. For new headings eatabliahed after 1984 the BT/NT links are made only between headings which have a genus/species, whole/part, or 'fnstance' relatlonshlp (see sect. 3708 wl: Subjcct Wcadlnas). In fact, changes arc also being made to older headings to make their cross-reference structures more hierarchical. For example, in 1987 LC cancelled the "see also from" references under the

Constitutional law, Democracy, Election law, Slections, and Political science, Nevertheless, five of these headings continue to point (but now indirectly) to the heading Suffrage through the Lcsrtll NT or RT references indicated below:

heading Suffrage for these s i x headings: Citizenship,

' -REPRESENTATIVE P? *GOVERNMENT AND RIGHTS

ZR

C A L

Host of this structure does reflect the new polky, described in the Introduction to u: "A heading 1s normally llnked to one immediately next to it in the subject headlng hierarchy. Since the referenced headings are linked In turn to other headings, references for distant relatimships are no longer made. References leading to two or more levels in a hierarchy reflect an obsolete practice." Some of the references under Politlcal science appear to belong to the obsolete, 'distant' type. Since LC is continuing its review of such headings, we should expect many more revisions to cross-references in future i&U editions.

TO IN- OPPORTUNITfE8

Brian Striman University of Nebraska

Renee Chapman, Chair of TS-818, established the Ad Hoc Committee to Investigate Publishing Opportunities for Technical Services Law Librarians (for this news item hereafter called CIPO). The charge of CIPO is: To gather and organize information concerning existing, as well as potential, publishing avenues for technical services law librarians and to submit a full report prior to, or at the 1990 TS-SIS business meeting in Minneapolis. Progress reports will be published for TS-SIS membership in and at the 1989 TS-SIS business meeting in Reno. All efforts of the Committee shall be coordinated with currently existing AALL conunittees associated with publishing.

questions (this list is only a starting point): CIPO will provide information to help answer the following

- What can TS-SIS do to encourage publishing by the members of our section? - How do other organizations such as the American Library Association and special Libraries Association encourage publishing among their members? [For example, the Women's Studies Section of ALA suggests publishing opportunities to its members in a column within its section's newsletter.1 - Do technlcal services librarians in law publish enough to inform, stimulate and challenge their colleagues? - Do technical services librarians in law publish enough to inform, stimulate and challenge the general community?

Note from the CIPO Chair: This is a very worthwhile project. We'll be exploring a wide variety of traditional and non- traditional publishing avenues, from our own AALL avenues (e.g.8

TStL, Occasional Paper Series) to non-MLL avenues (e.g.8 Technical Qualtcrlv) to commercial publishers (e.g. Hein and Rothmnan) to e-mail (e.g.8 ABAnet). The result of our work will at least be a documant, which if published itself, would be a valuable manual/guide for technical services librarians in law who are interested in publishing and sharing thelr knowledge but don't really know what's out there and how to go about taking the first steps to getting something published. CIPO members will be putting on their press hats to gather information on publishing guidellnes and criteria from mpubllshersm as well as to be ex- officlo Advisors to share ideas and opinions along the way. CIPO will be around 10 members with a nixed composition of catalogers, TS librarians, Heads of TS, acquisitions and Heads of Acquisitions librarians from different sizes and types of law libraries. Thus far, CIPO has this formidable group of intrepid adventurers: Sue Burkhart (UCLA); Joan Englander (SHU); Sllen

The Standing Committee on Praservatlon met from 3:30 to 8:30 Tuesday morning June 28, with Llnda Nainls chairlng the meeting. The meeting began with reports on comarlttte projects, included updates of preaervation news and e l ic i ted program ideas for the 1989 AXLL meting.

-‘It-, Jacqueline Rice and Hope Breeze reported on their lnveatlgations of the acceptability, from a preservatlon vlowpofnt, of four types of commercially avallable pamphlet b h d i n g a . Written results of their studies were made available t o Preservation Committee lntmbars. I t was suggested t h a t further publication of theaa flndlngs would be very useful.

Jacqueline Rice found that there was little literature available on the subject of pamphlet blnders, She based her study of Gaylord and Velo binders on other data: for example, promotional Ilttrature of the two products and their competition, the observed physical characteristic3 and mechanlcs of the two binders. In addition, she conaulted with a preaervation spoc ia l ln t . I n her xeport, she described the con&ruction of the two types of blndars, fncludlng any special equipment needs, pointed out arguments against each type, and described several hand-made and commercially available alternatives to each.

Hope Breeze studied the u8e of Them-A-Bind and Tagic

equipment, The Tharm-A-Bind machine glues pages to a binder. The Toglc, like the Ve lo binders described by Jacqueline Rice, punctures holes in the pamphlet covers and pages of the document. Hope described the way each system works, and provided both positive and negative features of each, As with the Velo and Gaylord binder8 deacribad above, consideratlons, beyond the cost, include whether the system is easy to u s e , whether t h e glue and blnders are acid-free, whether ths resulting booklet 13 easily opened and photocopied, whether the inside margins of the pamphlet are punctured (thus potentially reducing the possibility of successfu~ rebinding), an4 how the finished product affects adjacent Volume8 on the library ahelf.

Robert Connall reported on the progress he and Sonia Solomonoff had made in an ongoing study to fdentify published standards regarding environmental conditions under which library

20

materials should be stored. A preliminary blbllography on the subject was presented to the committee. They found a great many books and other works on thls toplc but few publlshed standards. An annotated list of the organizations and lndlvlduals ldentlfled as havlng an interest ln thls toplc was provided. They plan to continue thelr work in the coming year.

Diana V1nCtnt-DaVlS8 has done some background work on a survey of Preservation Program that wlll expand upon a slmllar survey done several years ago. She plans to frame two surveysr one for larger llbrarles that have a preservation department or structure, one for smaller lnstltutlons that may have less formal programs. She wlll lnclude questions of lnterest to the Special Committee on the Preservatlon Needs of Law Llbrarles, and also questions to ellclt suggestions for future AALL preservation programs.

Henry so reported on the Preservation auldellnes being developed by his work group. He announced that he would be interested in more volunteers for thls project. He envlslons that these guldcllnes would be short and to-the-point. An outline has been prepared.

Laura Bedard 1s coordlnatlng a group of preservatlon- consclous librarians lnterested In the preservation needs of rare books and archives. She would like to hear from the group about thelr ldeas for further activity, and hopes to Incorporate rare books and archlve questlons into Diana Vincent-Daviss' survey described above.

S&d&e& Diana Vincent-Davis8 described the actlvitles of the Special Committee on the Preservation Needs of Law Llbrarles, and clrculated that group's annual report. She told of her interest In taking the %how on the roadrn to address the preservation needs of law librarians ln varlous regions of the country. The Preservation Commlttee members, with representatlon across the nation, offered to help her by researchlng what local preservation resources exist In thelr areas of the country.

Wlll Meredith handed out samples of a novelty ltem created for publlclty and fund-ralslng to support the brittle books program at Harvard. He described a study, that he and Linda Nalnls are conductlng, of methods used by commercial mictopubllshers.

Linda Nalnls distributed copies of the Permanent Paper Resolutlon, which had been passed by the AALL ltxecutlve Board the previous Saturday. was commended by the group for the work she and Diana Vincent-Davlss had done in prsparlng the resolution.

postponed until the following year. It was decided to suggest two programs to the program committee: (1) Law Book Paper and Binding: Why They Aren't Better and What We Can Do; this program would, in part, provide the results of a planned survey of law publishers directed at their paper and binding choices; the survey and planning for the program would be conducted jointly with the Committee on Relations with Information Vendors; and ( 2 ) Preservation of Archival Materials; it would be sponsored cooperatively with the Private Law Librarians SIS and the State Court and County SIS; it would5 encompass proper handling and micxofilming techniques for law records and firm files.

Tho preparations for the Serials Standing Committee activities for the coming year are well underway. Betsy Reidlnger will continua to serve on the Cabinet along with new members Norma Feld and Mary Ann Van Cura. I am sorry to report that the program proposal on serial/continuatlon statistics submitted by the Committee for Reno was not approved. However, other important work is in progress.

Norma Feld has assumed the responsibilities of chairing the Special Committee on Uniform Bar Codes for Legal Publications. This group is investigating the possibility of having bar codes printed on legal serials for check-in and circulation. Norma has been monitoring the progress of SISAC in attempting to have its code adopted as the ANSI standard for bar codes. In early November SISAC will meet again. After that we should hear more about their progress with ANSI and on talks with library automation vendors about system compatibility. During the coming year this special committee hopes to investigate the amount of support existing among legal publishers for this idea, and the ability of various automated serial control systems to accommodate bar code use.

The Ad Hoc Committee to Study ANSI and MARC Holdings Statements has been continuing its work. Lorna Tang, chair of this committee, has recently reported that a final draft of the ANSI Standard for Non-Serial Holdings (239.57-198x1 has been submitted to ANSI voting members for approval. Lorna and her committee are pleased with the draft, noting that the authors have worked very hard to conform this standard with the standard on serials holdings. If you would like a copy of the draft, please contact Lorna.

Other ideas for projects are under consideration and with enough support will be undertaken this year.
