SPRING 1999 Volume 9 Number 2
DIRECTOR's COLUMN
Whenever we assess how well the Libraries meet the needs of faculty and students, comments about the collections always command our attention. Invariably, there are subject disciplines and research interests for which our book, journal, and/ or electronic collections are deemed inadequate. Although the specific areas may change from time to time, the consistency of this critical assessment is a call for action.
We now have two opportunities to make improvements in the collections, thereby enhancing their contribution to learning and teaching at The Colleges. However, both depend upon your support and assistance. The first is short- term and focuses on addressing identified gaps in the collections that support traditional and recently developed programs and areas of emphasis. This opportunity is made possible by the Weingart Foundation grant for augmenting the collections ( described on p. 3).
The second opportunity focuses on the coordination of Libraries collection development programs with academic program planning at each of The Colleges. Such coordination is envisioned as a means of shaping the future of our collections [ 0 support not only current needs but also the needs of new programs and courses as they are developed. A formal process for library involvement in academic program planning would greatly facilitate this. The desirability of such a process has been evident for several years and was last addressed in a substantive way during the Library Review of 1988. The Review Committee recommendation for a " Library Impact Analysis" as part of a process for improving the collections is quoted below.

[ Review of the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges, Final Report, p. 281
Although Libraries subject specialists developed a form and process by which the recommendation could be implemented and despite the fact that the recommendation had strong faculty support at the time, this excellent idea never came to fruition. Regretfully, only one Library Impact Analysis Statement was completed. Perhaps Librarjes administrators did not work hard enough to communicate the importance and benefits of this concept; perhaps the challenge of working with six ( now seven) colleges seemed [ 00 daunting. \ Xlhatever the reason for this failure, more than a decade of opportunities to ensure that our collections match the interests and emphases of The Colleges has been lost.
Together, we can rectify this situation. I am working now with the Academic Deans tt identify how we can incorporate the principles outlined eleven years ago into current academic program planning. I hope that you will give serious thought about how this can work for you and other faculty. Certainly, integrating analysis of library resources and services into the academic program planning process will result in better utilization of library funds. That can only have a positive impact on the Libraries' collections that support your teaching and research.•

HONNOLD/ MUDD SEELEY G. MUDD SCIENCE SPRAGUE As part of The Colleges' capital campaign for the Libraries, the Weingart Foundation awarded $ 1,000,000 to the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges. The grant enables Libraries staff to upgrade key areas of the Libraries' operations and will positively affect faculty and student research activities. [ F rrst, the Weingart Grant provides one- time funds
enabling us to fill gaps in our collections and to
develop new collections for subject areas not adequately represented at the Libraries. We will utilize input from faculty to make the most effective choices. In addition, we will compare our collections with other university libraries to derive broad, relative evaluations and to identify specific tides to purchase. Materials in all formats- print, audiovisual, electronic- arc potential additions to the collections. 115Iecond, the Weingact grant wJli fund the acquisition
of Blais records for very unique materials. Some of
these collections have been held in the Libraries' collections for many years and only those library patrons who knew that the collections existed used these materials. Examples include the Dryden Collection which contains fine early editions and the American State Papers as well as the Journals of the Continental Congress. We expect that subject, author, tide, and keyword access provided in Blais will greatly increase use of these materials. IFIinally, the Weingart moneys will fund the
development of a comprehensive, proactive pre­servation
plan for the Libraries' collections. The plan will address a myriad of issues including library heatino anel cooling, print materials repair, preservation via reformatting, anel educational programs on proper handling of library materials.
The Libraries staff is vcry excited about utiliLing the \ X/ eingart Grant to improve the services we offer you and your students. Please fcel free to send queries or comments to me. We welcome your input at any time. ·

Ashendene Donation- A Magnificent Gift
recent gift of nineteen Ashendcnc Press books to Special Collections came through the generosity of Frank and lancy \ Vhcat. The Ashendene Press is one of three famous English hand printing presses, which flourished at the end of the 19th century and into the early 20th century.
Johann Gutenberg first de­veloped
the hand printing press in the 145U's in. Germany. Printing by hand presses continued until the earlv 180U's when mechanized presses began to be developed. The hand press continued to be used and is still used to this day, particularly by people in the graphic arts who want to create artistically pleasing printed works in limited numbers.
A typographical renaissance took place in Enerland in the mid 189U's w'ith u1e establishment of the Kclmsc tt Press by William Morris. Morris \ vas a multi- faceted artist and craftsman, using his talents in architecture, interior design, furn­iture,
calligraphy, and other arts. fIe wa. the first of the three important English hand printers; the other two were T. J. Cobden- Sanderson of the Doves Press and C. H. St. John Homb\' of the /\ shendene Press.
Charles Harry St. John started the Ashendene Press in 1894. He referred to his work at the press as " the hobby of my leisure hours." His working hours were spent at the firm of W H. Smith & Son, London, the largest distributors of books, magazines, newspapers, and sta­tionery
items in Great Britain. From his education at Oxford University Hornby acquired a love of classical

which are posted in the room.
The Libraries of The CLaremont Colleges are proud t announce the opening of the new Multimedia Roorn. The room is located in Honnold/ Nludd Library ( n the second floor, adjacent to the Reference Desk and Search Center. When complete it will house four multimedia systems: video viewing, multimedia authoring, GIS ( Geographic Information Systems), and multimedia viewing.
The Video Viewing Station includes a color monitor and a video player. A laser disk player is also available. Individuals or groups of five or fewer may use this station at one time.
There is currently one PC Multimedia Authoring Station available. This station is primarily intended to facilitate the integration of traditional Jibral'y materials into web or CD- ROM presentations. It is equipped with a color scanner, image manipulation software ( including Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator), authoring software ( including Macromedia Director and Flash), Zip and JAZ drives and a writable CD drive. A Macintosh computer with equal capabilities will be available in the near future.
The GIS ( Geographic Information Systems) Station is available by appointment only. GIS is a computer- based tool designed to store, retrieve, analyze, and display geographic and demographic data.
The Multimedia Viewing Stations will be for viewing the Libraries' multimedia materials. Some programs will be loaded on these machines only on an " as needed" basis, so there may be times when you will need to request a particular title be loaded and it will be available by the end of the next working day.
The Multimedia Room is designed to be an area for collaborative projects and comple­ments
the teaching and learning ventures of The Claremont Colleges. Priority for use of the equipment is given to current students, faculty and staff who are working on Claremont Colleges course- related activities. All users of the room are expected to comply with The ClarelJlOl1t Co/ leges General Guidelinesfor Appropriate Use of Campus Computing and Network

PERSPECTiVE
My first encounter with library instruction came as a teacher taking high school English students to the library for a class with our school librarian. But it was years later, as a student in library school, before I realized just how much library instruction would have enhanced my own educational experience. That realization has shaped my pro~ fess/ onal commitment to library instruction. Today, enabling library users to develop the necessary skills to find, evaluate, and effectively use information they need is becoming a primary focus of libraries. For me, working with students, helping them learn to use the ever- changing array of research tools and resources effectively, seeing them get ex­cited
about their research, is the most exciting and rewarding aspect of being a librarian.•

literature. The gift to the Libraries includes works by Dante, Boccaccio, Cervantes, dmund Spenser, Sir Thomas More, Thucydides, Virgil, and Marcus Aurelius.
The Ashendene Press books were g. iven by Frank and Nancy Wheat in memory of Carl Irving Wheat, Pomona College, Class of 1915. Carl Wheat, Frank Wheat's father, wrote extensively about California, and the mapping of the westcrn United States. Frank Wheat, Pomona College Class of 1942, is himself an author and historian, his latest publication being Caltfornia Dcsel! Miracle: The 1' ig/ jtfor Descrt Parks and Wildemess, published by Sunbelt Publications, 1998. The collection of Ashendene Press books donated to the Libraries demonstrates a true love and appreciation of the art of [ jne printing and the care and attention which went into the creation of these Limited edition books. ·

DISCOURSEı
Claremont Discourse Lecture Series
Sprin; J 1999
This lecture series, now in its third semester, offers a window into scholarship in the colleges- wide community and provides a forum where faculty can talk with colleagues and students in djfferent djsciplines at Claremont. Lectures begin at 4: 15 PM and will be presented in the Founders Room of Honnold/ Mudd Library. Refreshments are served at
4: 00 PlvL
On February 3, Audrey Bilger, Associate Professor of English at Claremont McKenna College, spoke about humor as used by women writers In English literature beginning in the Eighteenth Century. Professor Bilger's lecture, entitled " Feminists Have No Sense of Humor, and Other Myths," was based on her book, Laughing FeminiJm: SttbverJive Comed)' in Fi"( Jllccs Burney, Maria Edgclvorth, and Jane Austen, published in October 1998, by Wayne State University Press.
On March 3, Jean Schroedel, Associate Professor of Politics and Policy at Claremont Graduate University, explored the legal, political and moral ramifications of " fetal personhood," the question of whether the unborn fetus has legal status as a person. She discussed this controversial concept as it relates to such topics as abortion, substance abuse by pregnant women, and third­party
physical harm to pregnant women. Professor Schroedel's lecture, " Beyond Conception: Is the Fetus a Person?" was based on research she has been doing for a book. She has previously published
two books, Con re. r. r, the PreJirlent and Poliqmaking: A Historical Ana( YJis,
published by Sharpe in 1994, and
Alone ill tl7e Croilld: If::' o/ lleJI ill t/ l TmdeJ Tefl] til:; r Stories, published by Temple University Press in 1985.
On April 14, Wendy Martin, Chair of the English Department at the Claremont Graduate University, will treat us to an exploration of one of America's greatc~ t cultural figures, Louis Armstrong. Her lecture, entitled " Louis Armstrong: An American Original," will be based on the research Professor Martin has done at the Louis Armstrong Archives in Queens, New York, Rutgers University Jazz Archives, and the Library of Congress, Professor Martin is the author of The American SiJterhood: WrttingJ oj the FemiJlist MOIJelllent Jrom Colonial Times to the PreseJlt and AnAlilelican ' 1 iipljch: Am/ e BradJtreet, Emib" Dickimon, Adn · cllJle Rich.

Faculty Workshops hosted by the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges
Tn some ways the World Wide Web has made it easier than ever to do research from your home or office, but in other \ vays it has added an entirely new level of frustration. The common notion that everything is on the Web has led many to believe that by simply connecting to the World Wide Web you will be able to find the exact information you need in no time at all. If only this were true! Doing research via the World Wide \' Veb can be complicated, confusing and frustrating.
Frustration: Have you ever searched Blais and found that the Lbraries did not have the book you need?
Suggestion: The libraries provide quick connections to academic catalogs around the world. In addition the Libraries provide services Like CSU+ Link and Interlibrary Loan. Through these services books can be requested from your home or office and be delivered to Honnold/ Mudd Library in as little as four days.
Frustration: Have you ever found out that your favorite newspaper or scholarly journal has a web site, but when you try to view an article you get a message telling you that you need to be a subscriber to view this information; l
Suggestion: : Most of the really good information via the World Wide Web is not free. The Libraries subscribe to several full- text databases and hundreds of electronic journals that you can access free of charge in the libraries or from your office.
Frustration: Have you ever used Yahoo or Alta Vista to find a web site on a particular subject, and found 467,342 web sites which in no way relate to your original search?
Suggestion: The directories and search engines used to search the World Wide Web do not always interpret your searches in the way you want. By using very specific commands you can effectively limit your results and increase relevance of the sites you find.
These workshops, which take place in the Keck Learning Room in Honnold/ Mudd Lbrary, will help you with some of the frustrations inherent to doing research in the web environment by allowing you to learn and practice various research tjps and techniques which you can use on the computer in your home or office as well as in the library. The first part of each workshop will focus on finding books. You will search Blais to find books in our libraries, learn how to use CSULink+ to borrow books unavailable at our libraries, and connect to the catalogs of other academic libraries to find books that can be requested through Interlibrary Loan. The second part will focus on finding scholarly and popular articles. You will find citations for scholarly articles in journals, and locate full- text articles that you can view or download from our many full- text databases and electronic journals. The third part will focus on locating and evaluating web sites for research. Use our Virtual Reference Collection and Subject Research Guides to connect directly to interesting web sites, learn tips on how to effectively search using directories and search engines to find relevant web
sites, and critically examine web sites to determine their usefulness in your research. ·

New Websites for Libraries & Research Centers
We have created major additions to the Librmias & RrsMrch Cenlers section of our website. As the place where you find hours, staff directories and general information about our policies and services like interlibrary loan and renewing books, here is also where you find unique and specific websites for the different campus libraries and major research centers.
The Special Collections website debuted last semester and focuses on increasing access to its collections in addition to providing links to related websites and general information about using the Special Collections. " The heart of [ tills] website is the Collections section, on which we continue to work in order to provide enhanced electronic access to the vast primary research collections housed in the special collections of the Libraries." ( Special Collections website: " What's New")
Government Publications is sporting a new look and orgaruzation. For those of you familiar with the old site, this change was engineered to make information easier to find using more general subject groupings. Access to electronic databases and websites and an extensive collection of online research guides are just two of the site's strong points. The website also features a quick reference section, general information about its collections and librarian contact information.
The new Asian Studies website includes detailed descriptions of the Libraries' major Asian Studies collections, contact information and checkout policies in addition to a comprehensive Internet resources section.
The new Honnold/ Mudd website showcases some of the services, spaces and events resident to this building. You'll find hours and contact information, information about the Keck Learning Room and the MultimecUa Room, and brief illstories of Honnold/ Mudd, as well as pointers to other research aids at the Libraries.
Individual websites for Deruson, Seeley G. Mudd and Sprague libraries are expected to debu t in the spring.•

Tapping Hidden Gold: Conversion of Californiana in the Libraries} Special Collections
The Libraries of The Claremont Colleges have been awarded an LSTA Retrospective Conversion grant by the California State Library for the conversion of three of our unique special collections which are rich in source material for the study of California history. We received the grant on February 4, 1999, and work is to be completed by Septem­ber
30, 1999. LSTA O". ibrary Ser­vices
and Technology Act) is a federal funding program for libraries administered by the states.
Currently the collections are accessible through the Libraries' special collections card catalog and special collections bibliographies only. The grant will allow us to make these collections accessible throuu- h Blais, the Libraries' online catalog, through CS Link, and through OCLC, the world's largest cataloging and holdings database for libraries. The Libraries plan to accomplish this task by sending photocopies of our old card catalog entries to OCLC Retrospective Conversion Services who will convert them to electl" oruc format and forward the electroruc records to us via FTP.
The special collections to be converted are the Wagner Collection in Honnold/ Mudd Special Collec­tions
and the Western Americana and Macpherson Treasure Collections in Denison Library. The Wagner Collection of approximately 650 titles was assembled by Henry Raup Wagner for the \ vriting of ills book, Cartogmpl: J, of the 1 orthwes! Com! '!! America to the Year 1800 ( Uruversity of California Press, 1937). It is of

discovery and exploration of the northwest coast of America, from Baja California to Alaska. It contains r; u'c books amI maps, approximately one- thinl of which arc not held by other California libraries. The \,\;' estern Americana Collection of approximately 600 titles, 350 of which rccIll. irc conversion, with many titles in Spanish, is a significant resource for students of \ X'estern Americana, particularly California counties, communitie. and culture, including literature. The Macpherson Treasure Collection of approxI­mately
' 1400 titles, 700 of which require conversion, is an important resource for women's studies, depicting the role of women on the f\ merican frontier. Many diaries, journals, autobiographies and biographies provide first- hand accouots of women in Cali fornia and the \ Xlest. \ Xic cstimate that nearly one- tenth of the \ X/ estern Americana Collection and one- fifth of the Macpherson Treasure Collection is unilJue to the Libraries.
