10-Tht Pwqulmans Weekly, Hertford, N.C., Thursday. June 30, 1977 TK2 fiX By NELLIE M. SANDERS 1 Director, Pettlgrew Regional Library CORRECT CATALOGING One of the most com plicated problems in the art of librarianship is known as "bibliographic control." In order to make all of the materials contained in the library readily available to the users, systems for cataloging books have been evolved. Over the years, these have become more and more involved with the proliferation of published materials on an ever widening range of subjects. For one example of the magnitude of the possible prob lems, consider this: the current issue of BOOKS IN PRINT (BIP), which is published each year and contains the books listed by almost all the publishers in the United States, lists 325,000 author names. But that does not necessarily mean there are 325,000 authors whose books are currently in print and hence available. Some authors'names are listed in as many as four or five different forms without taking pseudonyms into consideration. The publisher of BIP, the R.R. Bowker Company, is con sidering publishing a listing of standardized author names as an aid to librarians, especially those involved in catalog ing or purchasing but also for reference use. As a step in that direction, they are asking the opinions of selected librarians from various sized library systems. The usefulness of the book is readily apparent but, even with the comvuterized data from their publication of BIP, it will be an expensive volume to produce. Hy major reaction to the questionnaire was to be more grateful than ever for the North Carolina State Processing Center. All our cataloging problems are solved by them with the help of their vast array of source materials. Printed lists of the books contained in the Library of Con gress (the National Union Catalog) are supplemented by computer tapes of the latest books to be cataloged by our national library. In addition, the processing center is a member of the Ohio-based bibliographic service called OCLC which provides instantaneous access to a tremendous data-base by means of a computer terminal. Small library systems cannot possibly duplicate the quality of the cataloging done by the Processing Center. National recognition has come to the work of North Carolina's Processing Center this year. The chief, Eunice Drum, is one of the featured speakers at the American Library Association convention in Detroit this month. Her expertise should prove most valuable to other state library agencies which have or are considering processing centers. SCREECHES COMMERCIAL CATALOGING - One of the other members of the panel with Eunice Drum will be former librarian Walter Curley who is now president of the Gaylord Company which sells commercial cataloging. I am very sorry I will be unable to hear this debate in person (I have decided to skip the national convention this year in the in terest of economy) since I would love to put in my "two cents worth." The quality of the commercial cataloging is not the only drawback to this seemingly less expensive method. The big gest problem is the limitation on available titles they will only provide catalog cards for certain current books, a small percentage of any library's purchases. That leaves the problem of getting the remaining titles cataloged, re quiring the services of a cataloger on each library's staff. The Processing Center, on the other hand, eliminates en tirely the need of a technical services staff since they will catalog every book we acquire even if we do not purchase it from them (a prerequisite of the commercial catalogers). ONLY IN PERQUIMANS Although the sunset has been the subject of countless poems, songs and romantic conver sations, citizens in Perquimans County will agree that when the sun sets on the Perquimans River, it is indeed special.

The North Carolina fair, which is operated under the auspicies of the state Department of Agriculture, will be held this year October 14-22 at the state fairgrounds, in Raleigh. The first known fair in America, according to the Saga article, was in 1686 at Perth Amboy, N. J., and was mostly an "exchange of livestock and other goods, and an enjoyment of horse racing." An' industry association says that there are now 2,800 annual state, county, and local fairs, most of which will be held in the summer and fall.

Bond of the Edenton Employment Security Commission Job Service office says that school employes with writ ten, oral, or implied con tracts or agreements to. return to school employ ment do not qualify for unemployment benefits. North Carolina requires claimants to be unemployed through no fault of their own, be able to work, be available for work and ac tively seeking jobs to be eligible for unemployment payments. Raffle Planned During July 4th, the drawing will be held by the Per quimans County Marching Unit for the large, handmade grill being raffled. Ticket holders do not have to be present to win. Tickets on the grill raffle are still being sold and may be purchased from any unit member or by contacting Mrs. Marion Swindell at 426-5614. All proceeds from the grill raf fle will be used for general expenses of the unit. Yum .w wa u S wS. BAKING C1 ffszssz Vi Mrs. Bond says that employes who have agreements to return to work with schools after the summer is over do not meet these eligibility requirements. The Special Unemploy ment Assistance Act, passed by Congress at the outset of the recession, extends unemployment insurance coverage to workers not covered by state laws. There's currently a bill before the General Assembly providing coverage for state and local government workers, but, if passed, it would not change the eligibility requirements to draw benefits, according to the ESC. m mi 5blKib GR0U in Conferences : Planned For School Officials ' Local public school ad ministrators in Perquimans County will attend the State Superintendent's Con ference for Central Office Personnel July 6-9 at the Great Smokies Hilton in Asheville.
