Nov., 1917] Report Ohio Academy of Science 23 



All cards so far deposited, have been arranged in one alphabet, 

 after each card has been marked to show the owner library. In order 

 to ascertain the work done during the year by the co-operating liVjraries 

 which had not made deposits, a request was sent to each one asking for 

 a statement of ]jrogress. Following are excerpts from the replies 

 received : 



Adelbert College of Western Reserve — Beginning in October, an assist- 

 ant has gi\-en about half-time to the preparation of the records. The 

 periodicals of the Reference Department and the 000 numbers of the 

 Circulating Department are practically completed, making about 350 

 titles. Work is now proceeding on the lOO's. 



Antioch College — The librarian expects to get the records completed 

 wathin a reasonable time. 



Cincinnati University — This library contains the exchange deposit 

 of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Not 

 much, if anvthing, can be done on the records until the work eases up a 

 little. 



Cleveland Public Library — Cards for about 550 titles are ready. 

 These are for such titles as happen to be catalogued or recatalogued, so 

 nothing has been done along any special line. 



Hebrew Union College — No progress has been made in the preparation 

 of the records. 



Miami University — The staff work has been interrupted by sickness 

 and leaves of absence, so no progress whatever has been made. 



Ohio State Library — The larger part of the records of periodicals has 

 been corrected and brought down to date, so the deposit is nearly ready 

 for submission. 



Ohio University — Members of the staff have been away, so nothing 

 has been done on the records. 



Ohio Wesleyan University — Owing to lack of sufficient staff" to give 

 it attention, not much progress has been made. However, the list of 

 cards has been prepared for the bound volumes down to J. It is barely 

 possible that a special worker can be put on these records and complete 

 them in the near future. 



Toledo Public Library — Press of work has prevented progress on the 

 records. 



Young Men's Mercantile Library Association — Few of our magazine 

 sets have ever been more than arranged on the shelves. Fift^'-one 

 sets have been shelf-listed and catalogued and cards for these will be 

 forwarded within the near future. Thirty-four sets have been shelf - 

 listed only and ^\dll be catalogued as time pemiits. 



No word was received from the Cincinnati Public Library and 

 Hiram College. 



The Academy is aware that the College Section of the Ohio Library 

 Association is co-operating in this work. A full and detailed report was 

 made at its meeting on October, 1916. It was voted at that time to 

 continue the compilation on the lines already laid down and rush the 

 union list to completion as quickly as the time and resources of each 

 individual library permitted.
