(7) A series of drive-in work-conferences) conducted annually, designed to provide the latest techniql1.cs in service and adminis- boation for school librarians. (8) Last, but not least in import,anee, is the development of the functioning organization of SI,AGS. This publication portrays the role of these assj.stants as they provide needed help to iii iv school librarians to make the school library an effective instrUment in the instructional program. To Miss Walker, and to all who are associated with her in this worthy endeavor, ! take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the quality job being done to help lift the level of education in the state of Georgia through improved library services. Robert L. Cousins, Assistant Director Southern Education Foundation nrrRODUCTION Many requests have come to our office for information on the organization, types of programs, and projected goals of SLAGS (Student Librar.y Assistants of Georgia). They have come with such frequency that a compilation of accurate Slag data has become obligator,y. ,The histor.y of SLAG is not ulllike that of any other such school organization in its effort to survive and to seek proper recognition alongside other extracurricular organizations. In truth, it is the one org8.rlization which should be in greatest demand, especi.ally so, if the 300001 and all concerned have developed a sound philosophy of Library Service so that "the heart of the school" does not become as one principal indicated, lithe school cafeteria" but rather, "the school librar.f." The brief history of SLAG, really in capsule form, is an attempt to answer in an organized manner the numerous inquiries pertaining to the organization, program and activities of the Slag. It is not possible in a digest such as this to single out by name the many librarians (full-time and part-time), principals, Jeanes Supervisors, members of State personnel, Dean, faculty and students of Atlanta University School of Library Service, teachers, parents, students and loyal supporters outside of the teaching profession who have con.tributed, each according to his capabilities an.d interests, to making the organization the invaluable and steadily grovnng one which it has become on local, regional, and state-wide level. But, in the lines of J. Hason Knox: v vi "It. ai.n~t the individual, Nor the army a.s a l1hole, But the everlasting t,camlJ'o1'i Of !?!Very bloom.in S soul.

All records were filed in the office of the st.ate Library Consult,ant, but complete freedom to use these records was assured. Despite this fact, many continued to say, ""lve vlant you to H1'ite the history. The records are convenient for you, and you coordinated the program for us." This diary covers the period from Octobe~e 1951 through Harch 1960. Space has been provided in the back of the diary for recording each year any significant data, hOI-leVer, an addendum 1'r111 be published in 1965. Nargaret L0 Walker DEDICATION Dedicated to over five hundred SLAGS (Student Library Assistants of Georgia) and to ma:ny faithful, loyal, sincere and cooperative I.IBRARIANS in the state of Georgia who have sacrificed and labored tirelessly so that the Slag Organization might survive as the one organization in the school deserving of the motto - ir"Service. rI viii ACKN01'1LEIXIMENl'S The compiler of this history is grateful to Miss Sarah Jones, Chief Consultant - School Libraries, Division of Instructional Materials and Library Services, State Department of Education, for guidance and helpful suggestions in the compilation of this history; to Dr. La1>rrence E.

The group decided to change the number of meetings from tHO t.o five due to problems of transportation encountered the previous year" 'rhe state was carefully divided into five areas and centers were selected for the place of meeting. This required planning so that no one unit w-ould have to travel too great a distance and in view of the fact that delegations from schools were not limited. The size of ~he meeting place and available eating facilities were of tremendous importance . The following five centers were at last agreed upon: Price HIgh, Atlanta - March 3, 1956, l,1rs.

One could only register a feeling of deep pride for the librarians and Slags sho amid barriers of over-crowded conditions, limited funds for operation, and competition with fa.vorite extra-Gurricular acthrities, such e.s, band, chorus, football, and basketball, not onl.Y survived but wax'e sloi-rly yet assidUOUSly ca.rving their name on the table of "indispen,'Jables.

(ask YOllr librarian) Do you know hm/ to use the vlorld Alma.nac? an Atlas? The encyclopedia? Other reference tools? All SLAGS should knmv these things in. order to give efficient service to students and to help your librarian~ DE~f.EY DECI~~L CLASSIFICATION All books must be arranged so that the,y are easily accessible and so that information is readily found. The system of classification used most cO:l'Ilmon1y in school libraries in America is the Dewsy Decimal Classification. This s.?stem m~tes it possible to have all books on one subject together. LEARN THE FOLJ.J01::!!.~f!.21~P_q~~ to make your work easier in the library. 1. 000-099 - General Works List of books, books on newspapcrs~ books about libraries, .General reference books and encyclopedias. 2. 100-199 - PhiloS01)hy Books about man's ideas concerning life, death, conduct, teenage problems, etc .. 3. 200- 299 - Religion and }trthology Books about the Bible, all religious, gods, goddesses, nvthology, etc. 4. 300-399 ~ Sociology Books about etiquette, clubs, gO'\Ternment, education, customs, vocations, legends.

The call number consists of the classification number plus the author's laGt name or initial. Biographies haye "BI,! plus the biographee' s last name or initial. Books with call nmnbers are placed in order from left to right. If there are several numbers alike the;l are then arranged alphabetically by the author's last name. ROlf TO READ SImLVES Shelves are read from left to right wtth all fiction books alphabetically arranged by author's last nmne. Non-fiction books are in m:unerical order according to the Dewey Classification, then alphabetically by author. The exception to this is biographies which are arranged alphabetically by biographees. 10 DO NOT overcroud shelves. Cro'frcling shelves makes it look untidy and also damage books. 2. Put all books to the edge of the shelves. It is much easier to see all books this way'. 3. DO NOT shelve a book in the i{!'ong place. It could be lost for a long time this way.
