African states. Maps can be located by country name. This

About Samuel Lazerow
Samuel Lazerow, in whose honor and memory these lecture series
have been established, had a record of long and distinguished
service in the library profession. An honors graduate of Johns
Hopkins University who received his library graduate education at
Columbia, he then returned to his home city of Baltimore to work
at the Enoch Pratt Free Library. During World War II he served
as the Army's chief library officer in Europe. Starting in 1947,
Mr. Lazerow then spent 25 years of service in the federal library
community, and held administrative posts at each of the three
national libraries. From 1947 to 1952 he served as chief of
acquisitions at the National Library of Agriculture, and followed
that with a similar assignment at the National Library of
Medicine from 1952 to 1965. In that year he joined the Library
of Congress, where he headed a task force on the automation and
sharing of services between the national libraries.
He joined the Institute for Scientific Information after his retirement from government service, and held the post of vice president for administration from 1972 until his death. This series of lectures was initiated by Dr. Eugene Garfield, founder and president emeritus of ISI, as a tribute to his friend and colleague. The Indiana University School of Library and information Science is proud to have been selected to participate in the recognition of this library leader.
"Would you trade the colors of your sunset and the fragrance
Of your flowers, and the passionate wonder of your forest
For a creed that will not let you dance?"
