M.Com. (Library and Information Science) / In this study attention was given to the vast amount of information in periodicals which is not usually utilized in media centres. The popularity of periodicals amongst teenagers should be used to stimulate research in this relevant, updated medium which contains the most recent facts on such a wide range of topics. The promotion of magazines as a resource of information received attention and certain strategies to promote the utilisation of periodicals were suggested. The whole process of planning, budgeting and ordering of periodicals was looked at from the user's point of view, especially to 'satisfy the user's information needs. These information needs must first be established and thereafter the best medium must be obtained in order to satisfy them. A communication system was formulated by which teachers and pupils could be informed of the latest arrivals as well as the latest information on a specific topic. Secondly, a system was devised which can be used to analyse and index information from periodicals and keep it on record until it can be taken up in the catalogue, whether it is in pamphlet form, or as bound magazines. This way, no information from periodicals need be wasted or lost due to the lack of printed indexes in South Africa.

The objective of this study are: -to list and describe activities and methods used in the junior high school libraries of Texas, -to present data regarding the administration, staff, and facilites of the libraries in junior high schools of Texas, -to determine to what extent the junir high school libraries of Texas are exceeding or falling short of meeting the standards for secondary school libraries as set forth by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and finally, -to propose certain improvements or change to be made to conform to the Standards of the Southern Association.

In an effort to determine the extent and type of usage of the libraries of the various high schools in District "M," a questionnaire was formulated. The group of students who composed the Graduate Seminar at Radford College during the Summer Session, 1950, cooperated with the study by responding to the first draft of the questionnaire; then by offering constructive criticisms. With the incorporation of their suggestions, the resulting instrument; found in Appendix "C," was mailed to all of the schools included in the study. The questionnaire was divided into two sections: first, Organization and Administration of the Library; second, Kind and Extent of Library Usage. / M.S.
