TL;DR: The Curriculum Committee of the Special Interest Group/Education Information Science of ASIS is charged with the responsibility for determining the scope and characteristics of information science programs in the U.S. and Canada in terms of curriculum developments and course offerings as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Curriculum Committee of the Special Interest Group/Education Information Science of ASIS is charged with the responsibility for determining the scope and characteristics of information science programs in the U.S. & Canada in terms of curriculum developments and course offerings. To fulfil this responsibility, questionnaires were developed to elicit reliable information concerning courses being offered relating to information storage and retrieval, information science and/or documentation. The data requested included course levels, pre- and post-requisite courses, textbooks used, topics covered, frequency with which offered, etc. Responses were received from 45 schools, providing information about 185 courses and 242 topics. Using several methods of clustering the data, it was difficult to arrive at firm results, because of the diversity and scatter of the topics included in this field. It was therefore decided to hold a workshop of experts which would examine the validity of the questionnaire results. This workshop, using the Delphi technique to arrive at consensus, was held at the University of Pittsburgh on September 21–23, 1970. Sixteen specialists in the field representing universities, industry and government were brought together to participate. Consensus was reached in identifying nine factors which contribute to the curriculum in information science and seven courses which constitute the core for the Master's program. The topics to be included in each of these courses were also isolated. The 9 factors are: Psychology/Behavioral Science, Language/Linguistics, Management, Statistics, Library Science, Systems, Mathematics, Information and Communication Theory, and Computer Science/Automata. The 7 courses are: Introduction to Information Science, Systems Theory and Applications, Mathematical Methods in Information Science, Computer Organization and Programming Systems, Abstracting/Indexing/Cataloging, Information and Communication Theory, and Research Methods. The topics relating to these courses are given in Appendix III. Not all the objectives have been attained. The “meat” surrounding the core has not yet been supplied; the core for a Doctoral program must also be determined. The committee feels that some conventions for evaluating the levels of professionalism reached at the completion of such programs could result as a byproduct of ths study.

TL;DR: An experiment using a computer to assign content designators to unedited machine readable bibliographic data to create MARC records is described, and the results compared favorably with the current MARC input system in use at the Library of Congress.
Abstract: An experiment using a computer to assign content designators to unedited machine readable bibliographic data to create MARC records is described. Input typing conventions are briefly discussed. A computer program (Assembler Language for DOS) is being developed which analyzes unedited data according to predefined algorithms and builds MARC records. A manual simulation using 150 catalog records was done to test the computer algorithms. The results of the test in terms of accuracy and throughput compared favorably with the current MARC input system in use at the Library of Congress.

TL;DR: The guiding principle for UBG should be as follows: the information on a book should be produced as completely and correctly as possible at the earliest possible date as mentioned in this paper, in the interests of speed, accuracy and simplicity this should be done in the country of origin by the national bibliographies.
Abstract: The bibliographical control of world book production is a major problem which is seldom satisfactorily solved with regard to scope, content and speed. A further and still more complex task which has so far been inadequately carried out is that of utilizing the available data on book production for library purposes.It can be seen as one of IFLA's tasks to treat international bibliographical . control as a single process extending from the printing of the books to their cataloguing in libraries. This has not as yet occurred. Many attempts have been made to rationalize the flow of bibliographical data in particular fields but none of these efforts has represented more than a partial approach to the problem. They should now be combined in order that their effect on one another may be determined and the elements still lacking for a useful exchange of data formulated in a single over-all concept.The guiding principle for UBG should be as follows: the information on a book should be produced as completely and correctly as possible at the earliest possible date. In the interests of speed, accuracy and simplicity this should be done in the country of origin by the national bibliographies. The data should be made available in machine-readable form. (1) This guiding principle should be contrasted to the other possibility, that of cataloguing books of different national origin in one place and offering this information in machine-readable form. The latter method is certainly of great ; value for an individual country, but cannot be regarded as the best procedure for world-wide exchange of bibliographical data, as it would mean a delay for a third country wishing to obtain the data; moreover this method must always involve the use of certain criteria for selection.If UBC is regarded as the systematic handling of bibliographical data from the time a book is printed anywhere in the world until its cataloguing by libraries in many places, the task of making this systematic flow of information rational, efficient and flexible will entail solving a series of questions and problems, putting in hand a number of research, co-operation and standardization projects and completing existing projects.Three important groups of problems must be considered. First of all there are questions relating to the sources of bibliographical data. These are linked to questions of standardization, which is essential for any exchange of information. Finally, certain problems of organization must be taken into account in order to ensure a speedy flow of data.The following points are of different degrees of importance. In some instances a study will be necessary, in others lengthy negotiations between various interested parties will be called for. In certain areas it can only be a matter of advising or aiding the responsible authorities. This will become self-evident from the individual points. The steps to be taken in the framework of UBC need not follow the sequence of the points listed below.

Abstract: EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 *Cataloging, *Classification, College Libraries, Institutes (Training Programs), Library Collections, *Library Material Selection, Manuals, Negro Education, *Negro Literature, Organization, *Subject Index Terms The information in this handbook is provided to help with the organization and retrieval of black materials by attempting to touch on most of the questions that one will raise in his work with these materials. The handbook is the outgrowth of discussions of classification and cataloging at the Institute on the Selection, Organization, and Use of Materials by and about the Negro. It is aimed primarily to college libraries using Library of Congress classification and subject headings, although there is some comparative discussion of the provisions of Dewey as compared with those of Library of Congress. Neither of these classification systems provides adequately for black materials. A detailed examination of the Library of Congress subject headings is presented.

TL;DR: The argument that library education must be for generalists is somehow based on the phenomenon that most librarians move from specialty to specialty from cataloging to administration, from public library to school library as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: I HAVE NOT here argued that generalists are needed (or will be needed) in libraries, any more than specialists. By implication I have said that our basic courses must, of necessity, in a first year, be general, at least in respect to libraries. As a study of history, or communities, or theory of knowledge, there is specialism, but npt in kinds of libraries. The argument is for an interdisciplinary education. The implication is also there that, by nature, man tends to specialize; thus there are lectures for faculty specialization, and independent study for student specialization. The argument that library education must be for generalists is somehow based on the phenomenon that most librarians move from specialty to specialty from cataloging to administration, from public library to school library. The years that pass between these changes would, I believe, negate most of the specific knowledge gained from any general or special courses taken years before at library school. Constant updating after graduation is a necessity in any field, and re-education for new responsibilities is normal. What we must aim at providing is an introduction to the profession in an intellectually and emotionally satisfying program. To do so we must provide a variety of learning experiences (seminars, large and small, lectures, independent study, research, and
