I took the first courses taught in "Library Automation" and in "Information 
Storage and Retrieval" at another lamented library school, Northern 
Illinois University, during the two semesters of 66-67, both taught by 
Robert Broadus, who later taught many years at Carolina.  When I later 
taught the courses at Mankato State (69-73), I used Hayes'  book as the 
text for the former.

There are tons of them.  Parker's in 65 was the first I know of.  Still 
have a photocopy of it somewhere.  JOLA started in 68, I believe.  (on
