The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) initiated its Primary Source Awards program in the fall of 2009. Primary Source Awards recognize the contributions of research and teaching faculty, librarians and library staff, graduate students, and others within the CRL community for their creative use of primary source materials in three arenas: research, teaching, and access. The awards will enable staff at CRL libraries to share creative strategies for the usage of materials in CRL’s major collecting areas: newspapers, archives, government documents, and journals. Awardees will receive a gift certificate for Powell’s Books. Awardees will be announced on March 1, 2010, and recognized at CRL’s Council of Voting Members Annual Meeting and other appropriate events, and publicized through CRL media. Nominators of the eventual awardees will receive an iPod touch. Online nominations can be submitted by research and teaching faculty, library staff, graduate students, and administrators within the CRL community and must be received by January 31, 2010. To submit your nomination or for more information, please visit http://www.crl.edu/primary-source-awards.

For many years Paley Library has offered send and receive fax service for students through our Interlibrary Loan/Document Delivery unit located in Tuttleman. the number of faxes handled by us, however, has greatly decreased over the past decades as access to the internet has spread. Recently, the UPS Store on main campus began offering send and receive fax services for longer hours, including Saturdays, and at less cost than the service at Paley could be offered. Because the UPS Store will offer more convenience at better rates, effective November 2 Paley Library discontinued its fax services. The UPS Store is located in the Howard Gittis Student Center at 13th and Montgomery in the lower level atrium. For hours, contact information and other services, see http://www.theupsstorelocal.com/5760/ or call 215-204-7815.

Librarians across the country have expressed concern and even outrage at the impending increase in subscription price of the popular journal Scientific American. While a personal subscription will remain $39 per year, the cost for just one print subscription for college and university libraries will rise from $39 to $300 on January 1. The increase was announced shortly after Scientific American was bought by the Nature Publishing Group. Many librarians and faculty see this as an egregious example of predatory pricing strategies adopted by for-profit publishers who re-sell research results generated by colleges and universities. In this case, NPG is attempting to raise the price of a rather slim general interest magazine to the level of more scholarly journals publishing original research. Libraries from Penn State to Oberlin College to the University of Maryland Baltimore County are canceling their print subscriptions in protest of NPG’s effort and to save precious subscription dollars. Across all Temple University Libraries we have had five (5) print subscriptions to Scientific American as well as a university wide electronic subscription, but like other institutions we plan now to drop most existing print subscriptions in protest and to spare our subscription budget the impact of such an increase. We will retain -– at least for a year — the print subscription in Paley Library although it appears to have been read less than a dozen times last year according to our reshelving data. Those concerned at such predatory pricing might consider emailing the editors of Scientific American.
