THE UNIVERSITY SCIENCE LIBRARY CAMBRIDGE. SOME REPORTS AND THOUGHTS ON PRELIMINARY PROBLEMS OF CLASSIFICATION

Abstract

It has long been known in Cambridge that nearly all the thousands of scientists—lecturers, researchers, and undergraduates—never make any use of the University Library, but rely instead on their specialized Departmental Libraries. As working libraries attached to laboratories these give excellent service, but are of course too small to support services which readers can legitimately demand from the staff of a big Copyright Library, and they do not, even collectively, carry so large a stock. The position is clearly unsatisfactory.
