The program portion of this meeting focuses on an environmental approach to research libraries in this decade. The first two speakers are concerned with the immediate surroundings of the university research library. The next two speakers address themselves to the environments outside the university to which the library must relate. The last speaker presents an international view of the meeting's theme. The first day's program concludes with a panel discussion, "Collective Action by Research Libraries: Problems and Potential." The second day of the meeting was composed of concurrent discussion groups. Summaries of four of the five discussions held appear as appendices to these minutes. (Author/NH)
