A PROGRAM FOR ENRICHING AMERICAN LIBRARY RESOURCES.

The article focuses on a program for enriching American library resources. This is not the place in which to debate the definition of a library and thereby to establish the limits of the word "resources." As the journal's legal colleagues might say, one may stipulate all that. Auxiliary media that is, non-originals in acquisitions programs need no defense. In 1949, at the request of the Association of Research Libraries the Library of Congress established in the Union Catalog Division a Microfilming Clearing House with the object of centralizing data on microfilming projects embracing newspapers, serials, and manuscripts (or archival) collections that were planned, in progress, or completed.
