Socially, the annual meetings of the American Historical and American Political Science Associations at Washington D.C. and Richmond, Virginia, December 28-31, 1908, were notably successful. The hotel arrangements, permitting the great majority of members to live for the time being under one roof, facilitated the personal conference which forms so large a part of the value of these meetings; for it must be admitted that the obligation to listen to papers and discussions sits less and less heavily upon the members as the years go by. The program of papers and conferences, while, as usual, full of variety and information, developed fewer distinctive excellencies than has sometimes been the case, or than the announced titles would in some cases lead one to suppose.

Volumes III and IV will be published during the spring of 1963 and will contain reports on the discussions, a representative selection of the shorter papers and a list of the participants. Grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Science Foundation and the Social Science Research Council enabled the ISA to pay the travel expenses of most of the principal contributors and to offer free charter flight tickets to 80 young research workers from twenty countries.

LIBRARIES ,LIBRARIANS ,CATALOGING ,LIBRARY science ,ASSOCIATIONS, institutions, etc. - Abstract
This article recalls issues and events that impacted library science service in the U.S. during 1989, including actions taken by the Library of Congress (LC) regarding the MARC database and the efforts of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to address the continuing serials pricing spiral. The Library of Congress may not be officially the national library, but its influence and its policy decisions affect virtually every library in this country and many of those abroad. It has undergone an internal self-study with implications for the entire library community. It eliminated some longstanding services and attempted to charge for a database built in large part by the people and institutions to which it was sold. LC has increased its prices for the MARC database by about 20 percent. MARC, an acronym for machine-readable cataloging, comprises the cataloging records for all the books and other library materials cataloged by LC and by those libraries contributing to the MARC database. LC attempted to license MARC database to libraries. Librarians have conflicting views on the MARC database licensing. Meanwhile, the ARL opened its meetings to the press this year. It has launched a multifaceted program aimed at mobilizing scholars, librarians, publishers and federal agencies to deal with the economic crisis caused by ever-rising prices in serials. ARL also created an office whose function it will be to communicate the nature of the problem and to develop services that deal with it. INSETS: People;Obituaries 1989..

The internal and external forces that have shaped AACD's development are examined, as are the association's probable future goals.
The year 1983 was a historic one for the American Association for Counseling and Development. It came into being! To be more precise, the name, American Association for Counseling and Development, and its acronym, AACD, were adopted by the association's Senate at the annual convention in Washington, D.C., in March 1983 and were subsequently ratified by mail ballot. In July 1983, the Board of Directors endorsed the change of the association's incorporation papers to reflect its new name and thereby triggered a whole series of "ripple effects" through the association's by-laws and those of divisions, regions, state branches, and chapters; in its publications; and in its image with Congress and the professional community.

The first National Conference on Educational Broadcasting, held in Washington D.C. on December 10-12, 1936, was sponsored by eighteen national organizations for the primary purpose of giving an overview of current practice in the use of radio for educational purposes. Outstanding leaders in various aspects of broadcasting were invited to discuss the problems with which they were particularly concerned. The conference was divided into two parts: general sessions at which everyone was expected to be present, and conference sections at which specific problems were discussed for the benefit of those especially interested. Among the conference sections, of which some twenty were crowded into a single morning and two afternoons, was one dealing directly with the subject, "Radio and Propaganda." What may prove to be the most widely used piece of propaganda of the entire conference was injected so inconspicuously that its significance was not recognized at the time. In the section on "Talks Programs," Thomas H. Reed, chairman of the Committee of Civic Education by Radio of the National Advisory Council on Radio in Education and the American Political Science Association, introduced by title a report, "Four Years of Network Broadcasting," which was too long to be read, but which was made available in printed form.

This article provides information on National Communication Association's 2000 Summer Conference, Communicating Politics: Engaging the Public in Campaign 2000 and Beyond, to be held on June 22-24 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Washington, D.C. The conference planners believe that members of the communication discipline need to go beyond commentary about the current state of politics and take the lead in creating a public sphere and improving the overall quality of political discourse and reporting about it. The conference will be unique in structure and diverse in its content and participants. The conference will combine reactions to previously written position papers, comments by practitioners, and analysis by scholars to develop action plans. At the conclusion of each day, interested conferees will meet in small groups with the conference planning team to formulate recommendations for action plans. Recorders will summarize each group's recommendations to be presented for comment during the final work session on the last day of the conference. The final product of the conference will be a position paper on each major theme. The conference will be enhanced by events such as receptions, a visit to C-SPAN, and guest speakers of relevance to the conference theme.
