- National Perspectives for ARL Libraries. Minutes of the Semi-Annual Meeting of the Association of Research Libraries (86th, Houston, Texas, May 8-9, 1975). Communication (Thought Transfer) Conference Reports Costs Information Dissemination Information Services Interlibrary Loans Library Networks Library Role National Programs Periodicals Publishing Industry Research Research Libraries Scholarly Journals The focus of this Association of Research Libraries meeting was the process of scholarly communication--its costs, complexity and justification. Three speakers made first day presentations. Edward Booher reported on a study of the production and dissemination of scholarly work. He advocated the collaborative efforts of libraries and publishers. Fritz Machlup reviewed his findings on the costs of knowledge production in the United States. He proposed more precise studies of library holdings and publisher production by subject field in order to better allocate production resources. Discussion and the business meeting followed. The second day's program included a lengthy discussion of the national program statement of the National Commission on Library and Information Science. Two speakers, Basil Stuart-Stubbs and Vernon Palmour then made presentations on the need to improve interlibrary loan procedures with a national periodicals lending bank and a network for access to texts, tapes, graphics and other library materials. Appendixes to the minutes include a membership roster and reports from the Committee on University Library Standards and other ARL divisions. (KB)
