151 Landesman, Margaret M.Millenium minutes (comment)In 1969, I left grad school and a job at the Stanford Library and followed my almost-husband to the University of Utah, where I became Head of the Library of Congress Card Order Section, a "Sub-professional." (The more sensitive librarians referred to us as "Para-professionals.") As at Stanford, we ...Librarianship; Librarians2000-12
152 Ogburn, Joyce L.Millennium minutes: a look back at licensingThe seemingly ubiquitous license agreement has a longer history than our readers might imagine or remember.

153 Silverman, Randall H.Misperceptions about White GlovesCollection care and handling policies that mandate curators and/or patrons to wear gloves when handling archival and library materials need reexamining. Contrary to popular opinion, gloves provide no guarantee of protection from perspiration and dirt. Further, they increase the likelihood of physica...Library materials, Conservation and restoration2005
154 Silverman, Randall H.Misperceptions about white glovesAwkward mobility. Loss of feeling. Impaired sensations. These are not descriptions of a trip to the dentist, but rather a visit to the reading rooms of many special collections where the experience of handling valuable rare books and documents is synonymous with donning white cotton gloves. This pap...2005
155 Landesman, Margaret M.Missing issues: a responseI am inclined to retitle this article "Missing Issues: One Technique for Doubling Staff, Postage, and Xeroxing Expenses While Needlessly Alienating Vendors."

158 Landesman, Margaret M.Multi-volume reference sets-have they a futureFor the past few years, I've felt badly about the sales representatives from major microform publishers who come to visit hoping to sell microform collections to the library. It seems a cruel thing for a publisher to do - to send a representative out in this day and budget to pitch microfilm to libr...Libraries; Collection development; Reference resources2001-11

160 Estlund, Karen M.New librarians and scholarly communicationIncluded in the mission statement of many academic libraries is a phrase similar to this: "The library supports the research and instruction of the university."

161 Ogburn, Joyce L.On anthropology and the internet (discussion and criticism)The Internet as a topic has taken over our professional lives as much as the Internet as a reality.

The article on it by Brian Schwimmer (CA 37:561-68) is dated December 1995, and in the absence of information on how recent...Searching online; Website searching; Human history and culture1997
162 Anderson, Richard BryanOpen access in the real world: confronting economic and legal realityOpen access to scholarly information is a hot-button issue that quickly triggers heated discussion - especially if the topic arises in a mixed group of librarians and publishers. Sometimes the discussion ends up generating useful ideas and practical solutions to real-world problems; too often, it le...2004
163 Anderson, Richard BryanOpen access: clear benefits, hidden costsOpen Access offers real benefits to society. However, the net value of those benefits cannot be determined unless its costs are computed as well. The purpose of this statement is not to call on participants in the scholarly information chain to fight against OA, but only to move forward while taki...Open Access; Research; Publishers; Information2007

165 Ogburn, Joyce L.Organizing acquisitions: the Yale University experienceThe acquisition of materials for large research library collections is a complex process requiring large numbers of staff and highly developed management skills. Even in the best of times it is easy for this complicated process to be less than effective. When faced with budget cuts, staff layoffs, o...Acquisitions; Research libraries; Library management1992-12
166 Silverman, Randall H.Origins of offsetThe connection between this printed magazine you are reading and a discarded tin of tuna fish packed in oil or spring water is particularly fascinating, but requires a bit of historical sleuthing, and a brief excursion through the increasingly industrial 19th century.Tinplate; Direct lithographic printing; Offset lithography1995
167 Landesman, Margaret M.Our users are your users: blurring the lines between academic and public librariesAcademic and public libraries share core values and goals. We share users.

168 Silverman, Randall H.Pamphlet binders and their use in research librariesBy definition, research libraries have a commitment to preserving pamphlets as well as all print and non-print media they collect.
