University Daily Kansan Tuesday, February 8, 1972 3 KU Closes Library Transmitter By GINNIE MICKE Kennan Staff Writer An experiment with instant inter library loans by facsimile transmission between Clerdening University of Kansas Medical Center and Malot science library has been rejected for use on a regular basis, David W. Heron, director of libraries, said The two libraries used a telefacsimile transmitter that can impulse over regular telephone wires. The machine, which can also receive information, could transmit one page in four Heron said the potential of the telefacsimile to get information from one place to another faster is a major reason for the experience. ERON SAID the use of the machine was discontinued because he was not sure what libraries required explained that books and journals could not be used on the machine so xerox copies had to be made of Another problem was the cost of one phone wirephone wires. Heraid said, an article could take up an hour to transmit, including the time it takes to connect. THE MAIN PROBLEM, Heron said, was that the use of the telefacsimile transmitter did not require interest at the University. The experiment began in October and was originally planned to include the Kansas State library and Linda Hall private library in Kansas City. K-State was unable to lease a technicality. Heron said. The Linda Hall library was unable to use waits lines available to KU students. more rush requests. MARNA YOUNG, science librarian, worked with the machine in Malott. She said the transmitter was put in Malott to allow the patient to see the medical Center more and because these two libraries had Problems she encountered using the machine included the staff time involved in looking up a request, transmitting and receiving it, and was a weak connection on the telephone, she said, she would have to re-dial and get a new line. The weak connection made the phone unreachable. traditional babies to read to. YOUNG SAID that because a mother wants her baby to wait for the libraries' regular means of sending information, the machine was used less and less toward the end of the three month experimental period. A child was being used on some other campuses. One problem that may be encountered in the future, he The SUA Poetry Hour will present readings by two contemporary poets this week.

Transmission over data, he said, could further jeopardize the number of subscriptions. Heron said that with a device Two Modern Poets To Read in Union Kenneth Irby is a graduate of the University of Kansas and also a professor at Harvard. Most of Irby's poetry was written in Berkeley, Calif. where he has been living. Some of his poems were written while he was living in Lawrence. The sense of location is a vital part of Irby's poetry. Gunn said that the films were chosen because of their treatment with the author's conjunction with his course Science Fiction and the Popular Science Fiction and the Popular THE FILMS in the series were selected by James Gunn, lecturer in English and journalism, and writer of the film. The series is sponsored by SUA. The Science Fiction Film Series at the University of Kansas began last week with the showing of "From the Earth to the Moon." Eleven more films, including such diverse selections as "Barbarella" and "Dr. Marvelor," will complete the series. Eleven Films Scheduled In Science Fiction Series The remaining films will be on the Thursdays at 7.30 p.m. in the Theatre, and on Sundays in Union and, in most cases, will be preceded by film lectures at 7.pm. Rod Serling and Poul Annes will be among the lectors. The course was offered for the first time last year and more than a quarter of the students semester more than 150 students are enrolled and others have been enrolled. Gunn attributes this popularity of the course to science fiction's concern for contemporary problems. He said that science comes to grips with the conflict between men and machines. By STEVE RIEL Kansan Staff Writer Gunn said that sometimes the visual media diluted science fiction and eroded its literary value. "ITS ABILITY to communicate at an intellectual level makes it a different kind of literature, more easily appropriated to our times. "Many filmmakers have either not understood science fiction or have had little faith in the ability to make a result, some science fiction films deal almost exclusively with menace and ignore the literary Irby describes his poetry as written in a "pastoral mode" derived from the two themes. One is the amnesiac quietude of the whole being derived from attention and recollection of great closeness to vegetation and an ecological calm, which results in poetry that feeds people with its depth.
