ས་ 162 Library Practice LIBRARY PRACTICE SYDNEY B. MITCHELL, M.A., Associate Librarian and Associate Professor EDITH M. COULTER, A.B., B.L.S., Reference Librarian and Lecturer in DELLA J. SISLER, A.B., B.L.S., Associate in Library Science. NOTE. Students who plan to take ultimately the following courses are advised to consult the Associate Librarian at least as soon as they acquire junior standing, earlier if possible. It is not possible to take library practice as a major subject. Students may make their own selec tion of a major subject, but those without definite plans may enroll in one of the group majors arranged especially for those who intend to become librarians. The library practice courses are planned as a unit to give the essentials of library training. They are open only to graduates and to seniors. These courses are not open to special students. As the classes will be limited in numbers, those interested should make application in person to the Associate Librarian some time before instruction begins. Students will be required to demonstrate ability to use the typewriter with accuracy and a reasonable degree of speed, and must acquire this ability before taking these courses. A reading knowledge of French and German is required of all undergraduates. One hundred hours of practice work, under direction, is required in connection with course 103A-103B. 101A-101в. Cataloguing and Classification. (3-3) Yr. M W F, 8. SISLER The study of the card catalogue with consideration of the problems of author and title entries as illustrated by typical examples; the assignment of subject headings. Instruction given in class will be followed by actual cataloguing of books selected in illustration of different problems. The arrangement of books on the shelves, that is, their classification, will be studied with particular reference to the Dewey decimal system, but also with some attention to the Library of Congress scheme. 102A-102B. Bibliography. (3-3) Yr. M W F, 9. COULTER Dictionaries, encyclopedias, indexes, handbooks, directories, and general works of reference, subject and trade bibliographies, periodicals and society publications, atlases and maps, United States Government publications, and California state documents. Practice in the preparation of reading lists and bibliographies. Lectures, reports, and problems. 103A-103B. Library Administration and Extension. (3-3) Yr. Tu Th S, 9. MITCHELL and Assistants Organization of different types of libraries, public, county, high school, and university. Library planning and furnishing. Library support and government; office management, care and filing of records and correspondence; library budgets and accounts; supplies. Loan department problems, charging systems, branches, stations, traveling libraries, interlibrary loans. Work with children and schools. Extension and publicity. 104A-104B. The Study and Selection of Books. (3-3) Yr. M W F, 2. MITCHELL Selection of books for libraries of different types; study of guides and standard lists and of current book reviewing periodicals; evaluating books and making book notes; reading or critical examination of books from selected lists of new and standard publications.

It is essential that students who expect to take a major in mathematics should complete in the high school two years of algebra, plane and solid geometry, and plane trigonometry. For such students the basic courses leading either to further work in mathematics or to the mathematical treatment of any science are the elementary courses in analytic geometry (course 5) and in calculus (course 9). These courses should therefore be elected in the freshman year, if possible. The additional courses in preparation for the major are courses 6 and 8, which may be elected either at the same time with 5 and 9 or subsequently. Students who have had only one year of algebra in the high school will be admitted only to course 1, in which there are three groups of sections, depending upon preparation, and those who have not had 2 In residence second half-year only. trigonometry must elect course C before they will be admitted to any further courses except course 2.* Preparation for the Major.-Courses 5, 6, 8, and 9. Students who have not taken plane trigonometry in the high school will need to elect course C before undertaking course 5. It is very desirable that the student of mathematics should have some acquaintance with the applications to physics and astronomy, and also a reading knowledge of French, Italian, and German. The Major.-Mathematics 109 and 119 and three of the following year courses or groupst: (A) 111A, 111B; (B) 114A-114B; (C) 104A-104в and 106; (D) 101 and 102; (E) 117 and 120; (F) 125A-125B. Students who are preparing to teach mathematics in a high school will probably wish to elect groups c and D. College of Commerce.-Freshmen in this college are required to take courses 1 and 2, except that students who have completed two years of high school algebra and also plane trigonometry may be excused from course 1. Colleges of Engineering and Chemistry.—The minimum requirements for admission to the freshman course (3A-3B, or 3AB) are one and one-half years of algebra, plane geometry, and plane trigonometry. Prospective engineering students are urged, however, to add another half-year of algebra, and solid geometry, to this minimum preparation. Honors. Candidates for honors at graduation must include courses 109, 119, and groups A and B, and in addition one of the remaining groups of the list, or with the approval of the department, a suitable graduate course.
