Abstract

ARCHITECTURAL COLLEGE LIBRARIES. Few special colleges are so ‘library conscious’ as those training the architect. This, of course, is partly due to the nature of the profession: the syllabus of training allows much greater individuality in approach than is possible to the student taking a degree in the sciences or engineering. Because of this the student makes a greater use of the periodical literature and general reading on his subjects. For this reason, it is important for architectural schools to have well‐equipped libraries. This is recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects who assist the schools in many ways such as the preparation of a library bulletin, many specialist bibliographies and a recommended list of English and foreign periodicals.
