    The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among principal leadership behavior, teacher stress and teacher job satisfaction with respect to the socioeconomic status of the student population in middle schools. The independent variable was principal leadership behavior, the dependent variables were teacher stress and teacher job satisfaction, and the moderator or intervening variable was socioeconomic status (SES). A descriptive study was conducted in all of the thirteen middle schools in a large metropolitan school district. Of the 569 teachers selected for the study 356 chose to participate. An instrument was devised for data collection. The instrument was entitled, The Leadership Behavior Job Satisfaction Stress Inventory (LBJSSI). The Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient was the statistical technique utilized to analyze the data. Nine hypotheses were formulated for the study. Four (1,4,6, and 7) were accepted and five (2,3,5,8, and 9) were rejected. The level of significance for acceptance or rejection of the null hypotheses was set at the .05 level. In the high SES schools, it was concluded from the correlation analysis that no significant relationships existed between principal leadership behavior and teacher stress, and no significant relationship existed between teacher stress and job satisfaction. There was, however, a significant relationship between principal leadership behavior and teacher job satisfaction. In the low SES schools, it was concluded that there was no significant relationship between principal leadership behavior and teacher stress, but there were significant relationships between principal leadership behavior and teacher job satisfaction, and teacher stress and job satisfaction. It was recommended that school administrators attend inservice workshops, conferences, lectures, read the literature, and take courses relating to leader behavior, stress and job satisfaction. It was also recommended that administrators find ways to promote greater satisfaction for teachers with their work

    "The author, Mr. Archie W. Shiels, disclaims any attempt at writing history. He has, however, for his own pleasure and that of his personal friends revealed some of the 'highlights' of the early voyages to the Pacific Northwest. The little volume will serve as an excellent appetizer to more pretentious works.

    Cataloguing the internet: CATRIONA feasibility study : report to the British Library Research & Development Department

    The idea of a distributed catalogue of Internet resources integrated with standard Z39.50 library system OPAC interfaces (and hence with retrieval of information on hard copy resources) is already practical at a basic level. Geac's Z39.50 GUI OPAC client. GeoPac, can search remote Z39.50 OPACs, retrieve USMARC records with URLs in 856$u, respond by loading a viewer like Mosaic or Netscape, and utilise it to retrieve and display the remotely held electronic resources on the local workstation. A range of Z39.50 OPACs can be searched server by server, making a basic-level distributed catalogue of Internet resources feasible. At least one other Z39.50 client, Dynix Horizon is close to having similar capabilities. Significant further development and investigation is nevertheless required. A proposed demonstrator project - based around Scottish University Libraries and the BUBL Subject Tree initiative, but sufficiently 'open' to encompass other sites and approaches - is both feasible and essential, and would provide a focus for Z39.50 developments in the UK. Z39.50 clients and associated Z39.50 OPACs describing resources could become preferred network navigation tools with other specific NIDR client types (WWW, gopher, WAIS, others) loaded as required. Library involvement is essential to sustainable Internet cataloguing initiatives
