    Abstract
    Picture postcards constitute an important body of visual information that can support major scholarly research. In the past 2 decades a small, but important, new body of research has emerged that relies on the information contained on, an conveyed by, postcards. Presents an annotated bibliography of a representative sample of postcard based research. Annotations focus on the way in which the author used postcards as a key resources in the investigation of a particular subject and/or the merhodology that was applied to the examination of postcards

    Abstract
    The foundations of the card catalogue, catalogue use studies what can be conjectured about user needs suggest that future catalogues, as they are made possible throught the manipulations of computerized bibliographic records, ought not to take a single format. The concept of the main entry will no longer be valid at this point and multiple access points will be possible. Machine based systems will allow librarians to construct a series of catalogues to meet user needs. Proposes that there might be 3 catalogue levels of varying form and size to meet the needs of different levels of use and types of users: librarian's catalogue with full details; general user's catalogue, a location tool; and individual user's catalogue, full records in particular fields. Users could add their own material to their own catalogues and SDI via a message device would be possible

    Abstract
    In this article, Stevens, a retired library administrator, discusses the realities of contemporary reference service based on his first-hand experience as a part-time volunteer at the reference desk of an academic library. He descibes his own education and experience, the circumstances that encouraged him to voluteer, and the setting in which he works. Next he discusses his training, his impressions of the users, what he has learned form his fellow reference librarians, and the nature of the printed and electronic resources with which reference librarians now work. Finally, he encourages other library administrators to volunteer to provide line services at the reference desk, or another unit, at their own libraries

    Abstract
    Presents a brief reexamniation of the views expressed in the essay mentioned. That essay suggested that scholars, in particular, would have difficulty dealing with the mass of information available in the catalogues of the future and offered several suggestions for lessening their burdens. While those suggestion have not been adopted, it appears as though the mass of information now available from all sources, including library catalogues is far greater than anticipated. Offers further speculations about how libraries might best be involved in organizing access to information in the future
