Die Cholera in Medizin und Pharmazie: Im Zeitalter des Hygienikers Max von Pettenkofer (review)

Reviewed by: Die Cholera in Medizin und Pharmazie: Im Zeitalter des Hygienikers Max von Pettenkofer K. Codell Carter Ellen Jahn. Die Cholera in Medizin und Pharmazie: Im Zeitalter des Hygienikers Max von Pettenkofer. Boethius, no. 33. Stuttgart: Franz Steiner, 1994. 222 pp. Ill. DM 74.00; öS 577.00; Sw. Fr. 74.00. Jahn’s book is a collection of diverse materials concerning nineteenth-century cholera epidemics in Germany and the work of Max von Pettenkofer (1818–1901). The themes are related in that Pettenkofer, a hygienist and biochemist, resisted Robert Koch’s bacterial account of cholera and advocated a particular miasmatic concept of the disease. In the first quarter of the book, Jahn reviews the secondary literature, early-nineteenth-century beliefs about cholera, and Pettenkofer’s own opinions about the disease. The second quarter contains previously unpublished scientific correspondence between Pettenkofer and various contemporaries (including three letters from Koch to Pettenkofer). In the third quarter, Jahn lists and discusses several nineteenth-century therapeutic and prophylactic measures against cholera. The last portion of the book contains two hitherto-unpublished accounts by a Hamburg clinical physician of events during the 1831 cholera epidemic, select bibliographies of essays on cholera from the medical literature of 1831 and of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and lists of European libraries that currently possess Pettenkofer’s correspondence. The book also includes a bibliography, an index, and numerous illustrations. Jahn’s goal is to make available new materials to enhance our understanding of the nineteenth-century response to cholera, and to revive interest in Pettenkofer’s work. Her view is that Pettenkofer’s commitment to public and private hygiene and his criticisms of pure bacteriology were partially vindicated when, in 1893/94, bacteriologists found cholera bacteria in the Hamburg public water supply, thereby confirming the significance of public hygienic measures. No doubt Pettenkofer deserves more attention than he has yet received, and, of course, the publication of new primary materials is always welcome. However, a problem with this book is the diversity of its contents. Most of the materials will be of use only to persons with specialized interests, and it is difficult to imagine that any such person will be interested in more than a few of the amazingly diverse items here included. On the other hand, Jahn does an excellent job of presenting and explaining her new materials, and her explanations provide coherence to the overall effort. For those interested in the great cholera epidemics of the nineteenth century, Jahn’s book is definitely worth examining. K.

Minutes of General Business Meeting

President's Report President Otte gave a report similar to that he gave at the Board Meeting (see above). He cited the Society's new journal, JOR, as the chief accomplishment of his 1989-93 administration. There followed discussion by delegates of ways in which the dissemination of JOR could be enhanced and its publication costs reduced proportionately. Executive Director Stan Gangwere fixed the cost of JOR Vol. 1 at approximately $4,500 (US currency) for printing and another $1,000 for mailing, of which the latter expenses were fully subsidized. He noted further that two-thirds or more of the total $4,500 printing costs were defrayed by the supplementary publication charge that is assessed members and by the $20/page charge that is assessed all authors of JOR articles. Gangwere went on to say that he has assembled a list of major libraries of the world, from which he intends to select perhaps a hundred of the most important to send a gift issue. The delegates were unanimous in their recommendation that steps be taken to have JOR listed in Current

Research Resources for the Study of African-American and Jewish Relations

Several libraries in New York City have exceptionally rich resources for the study of relations between African Americans and Jewish Americans. The holdings of and access to these collections are discussed; some sources in other parts of the U.S. are mentioned as well. The most important collection is in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, The New York Public Library. Besides books, there is a vast Clipping File, the unique Kaiser Index, manuscript collections, and some audio and visual materials. The Jewish Division of The New York Public Library has unparalleled holdings of Jewish newspapers from around the world, from which relevant articles can be derived. The libraries of the Jewish Theological Seminary and the VIVO Institute ,are also both fine sources. Their book holdings are up-to-date, and YIVO's clipping file is also, including such items as publicity releases from Mayors Koch and Dinkins. YIVO's archives have such important historical holdings as the American Jewish Committee Records (1930s to the 1970s), and some NAACP materials from the thirties and forties. Children's books on this top ic and ways of acquiring information are noted. A list of the major libraries, with addresses, telephone numbers, and hours is in an appendix.

Internet’s Potential as a Global Information Infrastructure

Few would argue that the Internet is a global information resource for academicians and researchers. This article asks whether Internet has the potential to become a global information infrastructure for broad-based user communities. This question is answered using the case study method. The authors searched for the same information using two Internet directories (the List of Libraries and the List of Lists), four Internet interface services (Archie, Gopher, Wide Area Information Service, and World Wide Web), and two commercial services (Dialog and ABI/Inform). The case study evidence indicates that the Internet information resource is not likely to become an information infrastructure based on the criteria of being shareable among all classes of users, having a common interface, being enabling of development, scalable and economically sustainable. The authors recommend radical changes to the current Internet organization and propose six major agenda items.

LIBRARY CO‐OPERATION WITH NIGERIAN NEWSPAPERS

The article summarises the problems affecting newspaper collections management and the failure of library co‐operation with books in Nigerian libraries and proposes that the Federal Government creates a National Newspapers Project (NNP) which will set standards for the maintenance of the following bibliographic tools: newspaper directories, library lists of newspapers, state and national union lists of newspapers, indexing and indexes, and computerised data‐bases and also co‐ordinate and supervise newspaper acquisition, preservation, storage, joint research, joint publications, development of special collections, provision of reference facilities, inter‐library supply of photocopies and secondment of specialist staff. The NNP will augment its annual budgetary allocations with special grants from governments, foundations, firms, organisations and individuals. Finally, the article urges the Nigerian Library Association to persuade the Federal Government to create a National Newspapers Project.
