L ibrarians at Harding University have had faculty status for many years. Although no courses in library science were offered, the librarians taught approximately 65 classes during 1986-87 on bibliographic instruction and use of information tools. Approximately 40 per cent of these classes were for English 103 where the writing of the term paper is emphasized. Classes were also conducted in English literature, oral interpretation, Bible, biology, chemistry, nursing, home economics, physical education, business report writing, constitutional law, educational research, history, political science, social work, and marketing. Winnie Bell, librarian, constantly studied ways to improve the service available to faculty and students. She and her staff were active in the Arkansas Library Association and the AMIGOS Bibliographic Council. Henry Terrill, library computer technician, upgraded the IBM computer and Frank Hayes did an internship during the summer of 1986 at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Archives toward the M.A. in Public History degree. Students who had an interest in being librarians were able to get valuable training through working in the library on the work-study program. They supplemented the professional staff in assisting the Harding family to make maximum use of the excellent library facilities which included a collection of 295, 107 total volumes at the beginning of the year. • Shuffling for information.
