The problem with which this investigation is concerned is that of determining the predictors, correlates, and consequences of job satisfaction in a university library. A managerial model was constructed for the purpose of providing an overall framework of analysis. It was hypothesized, in the managerial model, that organizational effectiveness in any organization is linked closely to the concepts of job satisfaction and employee satisfactoriness. These two concepts, in turn, are closely related to managerial behavior.

This study examines two methods of in-service preparation for teachers of adult reading. The first method, known as Developing Adult Reading in Texas (DART), uses single concept modules which deal with five specific components of the reading process. The components are Comprehension, Vocabulary, Motivation, Word-Attack Skills, and Diagnosis. The modules provide for teacher involvement and focus on one reading concept at a time. The second method is defined as non-focused reading instruction. Subjects receive information of a general nature concerning the same five components of a reading process. A lecture format is used.

The lecture recital, given on April 18, 1983, began with biographical background that suggests the influences on the compositional development of both the composer, Charles Widor, and the poet, Paul Bourget, of the Chanons de mer. Songs were chosen to examine the characteristics that not only enhance Widor's poetic rendering, but impart to the Chansons de mer the more intellectual appeal often desired in today's concert repertoire.

The investigation presented here was accomplished using agglutination and agar gel immunodiffusion techniques to compare Azotobacter agilis s 3at, A. chroococcum Italy AC 16, A. macrocytogenes St. M and A. vinelandii ATCC 12837. It was found that the agglutination titers differed sufficiently to allow partial identification of the four species. The homologous and heterologous systems studied by agar gel immunodiffusion tests showed that each of the four Azoto bacter species differed sufficiently in their soluble antigens to give distinct, identifiable patterns of antigen-antibody reactions on Ouchterlony agar plates. These studies also showed several antigens common to the four species tested and the resultant antigen-antibody cross reactions. The results of these investigations suggest that this approach opens a new avenue for the identification of the organisms of genus Azotobacter and perhaps, by extension, the family Azotobacteraceae.
