Dear Josh:

When we had that pleasant luncheon at the University, now altogether too
many weeks ago, one of the subjects you mentioned was whether or no there
was an existent directory of research resources in the greater New York
area. I have been indecently neglectful about this issue.

There are two possible sources of bibliography. The Columbia Library
School has on occasion put out a compendium of research resources. In- a
quiries could be made to the Dean of the School of Library Sciences at

Columbia, Richard Darling.

Then, New York State has an interesting library structure. It has nine
reference research and resource centers, the one,in the metropolitan area
being known as METRO. METRO, on occasion, has put out bibliographical data
on research resources. The current Executive Director of METRO is Forrest
Carhart, his mailing address is 33 West 42nd Street, New York, New York 10036.

I hope you have a very pleasant summer indeed.

Sincerely,

RWC :mec
