TEXAS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION - REFERENCE ROUND TABLE
COMMITTEE ON TEXAS INFORMATION SOURCES

Report of meeting, April 4, 1973

The TLA-RRT Committee on Texas Information Sources met Wednesday, 
April 4, 1973, at 5:00 p.m. in Room 305 of the Fort Worth Sheraton 
Hotel, with Lois Bebout, Chairman, presiding.  In attendance were 
committee members: Bill Morris, Jr. (District I), Mrs. Jacqueline 
Hambric (District III), Mrs. Virginia Dunham (District IV), Miss 
Edyth Risley (District V), Mrs. Yvonne Greear (District VI), Mr. 
John Lolley (District VII), Mrs. Linda Samuels (District VIII), 
Mrs Gloria Lyerla (District IX).  Others present were: Mrs. Rita 
Paddock, Mrs. Sara Sullivan, Mrs. Vivian F. Jeffries, and Miss 
Mary C. Paris.

The Committee discussed how best to achieve its three charges: 
1) to promote THE TEXAS LIST and TEXAS '70;  2) to acquaint Texas 
librarians with sources of information about Texas by carrying 
some type of exhibit or program to the ten district meetings; and 
3) to consider the feasibility of publishing a "Texas Winchell."

It was decided that the committee would cooperatively develop a 
list of basic Texas information sources (of course, including THE 
TEXAS LIST and TEXAS '70) to be presented at the district meetings 
in whatever manner fitted in best with the format of the meetings.  
Each committee member is responsible for making arrangements with 
his district's program chairman.  It was agreed that even out-of-
print materials would be displayed in an effort to make the librarians 
who do not own copies aware of their existence in nearby libraries 
and, perhaps, to encourage the reprinting of some important titles.  
The final basic list should be complete by August 1.

Little was discussed about compiling a "Texas Winchell," other than 
to decide that Lois Bebout would act as general editor and that 
subject responsibilites would be assigned.  The publication means 
is to be determined by the length of the eventual compilation.

The meeting adjourned at approximately 6:00 p.m.

			Lois Bebout, Chairman
