Abstract
THE Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux arranged to hold its sixteenth annual conference at University College, Nottingham, during September 15–18, 1939. Owing to the War, the meeting did not take place, but a report including the papers which were to have been presented together with the Council's report on the year's work of A.S.L.I.B. 1938–39 and a report of the fourteenth annual general meeting held on November 24, 1939, has now been issued*. The report indicates that the membership stands at 334 as against 325 in the previous year, and the financial position continues to restrict the activities of the Association. One hundred and eight translators are now registered, but this service is not nearly so widely used as it should be. At the annual meeting, the chairman emphasized that under war conditions the need for a clearing house for information is accentuated and the Council aims at keeping the work of the Association going as normally as possible.
