48 Proceedings of the Ohio Academy of Science 
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 libraries 
which had not made deposits, a request was sent to each one asking for 
a statement of progress. Following are excerpts from the replies 
received: 
Adelbert College of Western Reserve—Beginning in October, an assist- 
ant has given 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 100’s. 
Antioch College—The librarian expects to get the records completed 
within a reasonable time. 
Cincinnati University—This library contains the exchange deposit 
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Not 
much, if anything, 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. Fifty-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 will be catalogued as time permits. 
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 r resources of each 
individual library permitted.
