The Library World Volume 57 Issue 6
Tập 57 Số 6 - Trang 105-124
ANOTHER new year, in which we wish our readers continued prosperity in our
chosen profession, finds most of us with a new diary and all the aspirations
which that suggests. It should be a good year culminating in interest with the
Folkestone Conference in September. Under the presidency of Mr. Edward Sydney,
whose chairmanship has always a certain vigorous individuality, we should do
well. As the ...
The Library World Volume 57 Issue 11
Tập 57 Số 11 - Trang 205-224
FOR public libraries the Ministerial statement that proposals for the future of
local government will be laid before Parliament before October may prove to be
most significant. We say may, because such preliminaries usually raise undue
expectations. Meanwhile during the summer speculation may range over the public
library possibilities of the situation. Will the known blue‐prints made for us
come ...
The Library World Volume 20 Issue 4
Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 83-112
We wonder if, in the history of the world, any conference devoted to the
intellectual interests of mankind has ever been held in such circumstances as
made memorable the Fortieth Annual Meeting of the Library Association. For the
whole week before those in and near London had been submitted to an ordeal well
calculated to try the strongest nerves; an ordeal borne, it is true, with
remarkable stoic...
What future for carto‐bibliography?
Tập 73 Số 11 - Trang 288-290
‘CARTO‐BIBLIOGRAPHY’ must surely be just about the ugliest term in a
cartographer's vocabulary, but to its inventor, Sir Henry George Fordham, it
represented something of the very greatest significance, and it is as well for
us that it did. It was in 1896 that Sir George made his decision to compile a
catalogue of Hertfordshire maps, ‘little conscious’, he was later to confide,
‘of the amplitude s...
The UNIverse Project: a review of progress up to the demonstration phase

Telematics for Libraries Programme. Concentrates on the technical achievements

Post‐apartheid Southern Africa: A glimmer of networking
Tập 93 Số 5
Black Southern African librarians have, up to now, shied away from contact with
their white counterparts in South Africa. Who could blame them for this, when
the South African Library Association (SALA), in the early 1960s, deliberately
closed its doors to black members? Black librarians formed their own
association, the Bantu Library Association, which later became the African
Library Association...

The Library World Volume 34 Issue 3
Tập 34 Số 3 - Trang 72-104
ANOTHER Conference has passed, this year in circumstances of national gravity
which made every thoughtful library worker anxious. In such times the word
“economy,” the most familiar of misused words, becomes almost a shriek even upon
the lips of honest thinkers, and is not confined to those persons—the great
majority of its users—who think the word means “making the other fellow do
without somethi...
The Library World Volume 19 Issue 10
Tập 19 Số 10 - Trang 252-280
Prominence is given in this issue to the interesting Diamond Jubilee celebration
held last month in connection with the Norwich Public Library. It was a
courageous but entirely proper thing to hold this celebration in war time,
because although it was calculated to raise opposition from short‐sighted
people, at the same time it was good policy to affirm that the Public Library is
an essential part...
