✦ Synopsis

What happened when an educational video collection arrived on an academic library's doorstep? Decisions about cataloging, processing, shelving, and circulation inevitably followed, but equally important was providing uninterrupted access for the collection's borrowers. Although the relocation plan devised by the library director and circulation librarian retained the ''new'' collection's unique classification scheme and kept it shelved apart from the library's video collection for at least 1 year, after Technical Services librarians joined the discussion, they proposed immediate and full integration. Their strategy included extensive communication with the videos' borrowers as the collection arrived in the library. Relocating the videos to the library dramatically improved access and circulation.

John King, M. D**This brief biography is compiled, largely, from an article by this writer, published in the Western Druggist, December, 1893, and reprinted in the Eclectic Medical Journal, Cincinnati, January and February, 1894. The writer regrets that space does not now permit of a more extended paper on the life of this remarkable man, a subject of absorbing interest. But those desiring gr-r details will find them in the admirable work of Professor Harvey Wickes Felter, M. D., in Bulletin No. 10 (Pharmacy Series No. 5), of the Lloyd Library of Botany, Pharmacy and Materia Medica. In this is also presented an admirable frontispiece engraving of the man whose work is herein described.
