Report Says Research Info Lacking
The public is not being adequately informed about research being carried on at the University of Kansas, according to a report released Monday by an ad hoc committee created last May to study defense-related research.
According to Richard Von Ende, executive secretary of the University, the committee, composed of five faculty members, two staff members and three students, met to review present procedures and disseminate the results to the public.
Wer protestors last May demanded a study be made of defense-related research at KU. Chancellor Raymond Nichols will lead the committee in response to these demands.
The committee report suggested research information be viewed in two parts: How the individual research participant could publicize his research, and how students, faculty members and interested citizens had out what research was being done at KU.
THE COMMITTEE found it important to
Barbara Jones, reference desk librarian,
said that if students would attend the clinic before turning in their topics they would probably be better equipped to choose a topic that they could research. Too often, she said, student's pick a topic on out, what, what materials are available, which are too extensive for them to get a firm green on the information.
Watson Library offers a term paper students that may prove valuable to students who are unfamiliar with reference tools but who must do term papers.
Clinic Offers Research Aid For Students
When a request for an appointment is received, she said, the staff member most knowledgeable in that field is assigned to be with that client. She can then be made with that staff member.
The clinic is tailored to the individual's needs and it is on run in an appointment basis.
The clinic was introduced in Spring, 1972, but few students took advantage of the service until last fall, when about 50 participated. Jones said.
tours of the Watson Library also were given to students so that they could receive an overall picture of the library system, Jones said. Although tours are generalized to approximately 10 a.m., 3:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m., and Thursday students could sign up for them at the guard's desk in the main lobby, she said. Signing up enables the number of tour students to be grown in the group he broke down in to. smaller Jones said.
She said a professor might find it profitable to bring his entire class to the library for a tour if he planned to assign any extensive research. Tours for large-sized libraries are offered regularly or during the time the class regularly meets if arrangements are made.
show the direct benefits of the research at KU to the state, Von Ende said.
The report stated, "We feel that more emphasis on the potential relevance of research to the average Kansan is a way of answering the implied criticism of Jess Stewart (chairman of Kansas Board of Regents), that Kansas University is no longer viewed by Kansans as the educational leader."
Committee members encouraged publicity releases about research are aimed at the average citizen rather than fellow professionals. The report stated that the importance of this type of publicity should be emphasized to principle investigators, Research Administration and University Relations.

The committee said research results should be made available to all interested students, faculty and taxpayers of the state. The committee expressed doubt that this was being done under the current procedures.

THE REPORT stated that there were difficulties in finding information regarding research at KU because research information was not adequately filed in a way such that questions about such research could be easily answered.
Everything women always wanted to know about the University of Kansas is contained in a directory entitled "Her" in a directory titled "Office of Action for Women."
In establishing a file, the committee recommended that the person seeking information take this to obtain information from the file by telephone or in the name of a project or a certain research area.
The committee strongly recommended that Watson Library be used in the distribution of research administration material and that such material should include lists of funding proposals as well as associated reports. The committee also

"We propose that a small amount of the general research fund be made available to investigators to study ways and means of answering typical questions concerning the who, what, when, why and how much of research at KU," the report stated.

suggested the library keep a file of the publications.
The directory is free of charge, but because only 1,000 copies are available, persons wanting one should pick one up soon. Gilham said.
"Ifeel it's very important that women are able to make contact with other women involved in things," Gilham said. "All of this information has been available from other sources, but there was a need for it to be compiled in one place."
In the report, the committee also stated that it found no classified research at KU. The committee commended the administration for its classified research policies.
The KU Women's Coalition provided funds for the directory, although the information was compiled by the Office of Affirmative Action for Women.
The directory is available in the Office of Affirmative Action for Women, 7 Strong Hall, and contains such things as a list of female faculty members, information on
