This part of our study touches upon the operations of the library—those functions which are performed to order material, to process it for use, and to make it available to the libraries clientele.

This is an enormous subject, one which we could not treat in great depth. Hence, the words "touches upon", above, are appropriate to the scope of this part of our study.

Nevertheless, we feel that much is of interest in the following pages. Specifically, we believe that we have identified areas of opportunity for improvement, or at least focused attention on some already known to the University. If these opportunities are pursued with vigor, we believe that many of the problems spotlighted could be alleviated rapidly.

The following two reports, on the sizes of sardines taken by various kinds of fishing gear and caught in different areas of the Monterey and of the San Pedro fishing regions, present the results of an investigation made to determine whether or not the system of sardine sampling as carried on in the past is still adequate since changes have occurred in the fishery. The results are of importance to the industry because they show that lampara, purse seine and ring nets all take the same sizes of fish, that these sizes comprise the sardines available to the fishermen, and that no type of gear exhibits size selection differing from any other type. of greater importance to the industry is the evidence indicating that large fish first appear each winter to the north of Monterey and gradually become disseminated southward throughout the entire Monterey region, whereas in the San Pedro region no consistent distribution of differential sizes within the region is evident. The results are of value to the sardine investigation because of the demonstration of the continual reliability of our sardine sampling system and the furnishing of additional evidence indicating a southward movement of sardines along the California coast during the winter months.

This is the first in a series of reports on the operations and management of the University of California. The study was undertaken to assist both the President of the University and the State Director of Finance to plan the University's future growth as systematically as possible.

The first volume in this series is concerned with the University's libraries. Part I deals with the development of library collections, and Part II covers library operations. The major findings, conclusions, and recommendations are summarized before each part for readers who are not interested in the details of the study. A chapter describing the methodology used in our analysis is appended, however, for any readers whose interest takes them that far.

The two papers herein presented comprise further results from a continuous study of the California sardine. The program of investigation was inaugurated in 1919 and has been carried on by a staff of numerous workers.
