3. Library and Information Services for Special Groups.

Author

American Society for Information Science, Washington, DC., ERIC Clearinghouse on Library and Information Sciences, Washington, DC., Smith, Joshua I., Smith, Joshua I., American Society for Information Science, Washington, DC., and ERIC Clearinghouse on Library and Information Sciences, Washington, DC.

Abstract

Special groups are defined in this book as "groups that are a minority of the general population that, for one reason or another, do not share equally in the social, economic, educational, and political opportunities offered by this great nation." Thus, an attempt is made here to find out what library and information services have been provided for and are needed by such groups. There are chapters on: the American Indian, with his need for a greater decision-making role in Indian library programs; Appalachian whites, who have a long cultural heritage but a low literacy rate; black academic libraries, with a comparison of these with nonblack academic libraries; black studies and the role of librarians in the development of black studies collections; library service to prisoners, with their requirements for library materials relevant to their special needs; and Mexican Americans, who particularly wish to participate in the development and administration of their communities' library programs. All chapters have extensive bibliographies, some annotated. (LS)

6. Cutting the NSF-OSIS Budget: Potential Disaster for Information Science and Technology.

Author

Abstract

The Rudset of the United States Government for FY 1975 clearly shows that the shapers of public opinion and the makers of public policy do not understand what we are about and what we do. In FY 1975, the National Science Foundation's program and facilities obligations will be close to $600,000,000. Estimated obligations for FY 1974 are $569,000,000. This is an increase of nearly $30,000,000. The accompanying narrative states that this increase "reflects the administration's support for fundamental knowledge necessary for economic growth and long-range solutions of problems of national concern." The OSIS estimated obligations for the same period are $8,000,000 in FY 1974 and $5,000,000 in FY 1975. Even the Office of Management and Budget would not have made a 40% cut from the OSIS FY 1974 budget if it had understood the importance of information science, or if it had felt that a cohesive, vocal and strong profession with some congressional friends might be heard from. The following is the statement submitted by Joshua I, Smith on behalf of ASIS to the Subcommittee on Science Research and Development of the Committee on Science and Astronautics of the U.S. House of Representatives on the National Science Foundation Authorization Act 1975, H.R. 12816, regarding science information systems, 19 March 1974.
