A NEW UNIVERSITY PROSPECT: III SERVICE, STAFFING, EQUIPMENT AND METHODS IN The NEW UNIVERSITY

Abstract

My colleagues have dealt most admirably with two detailed aspects of starting a new library from scratch; with a certain amount of low cunning, I have reserved for myself the task of speaking more generally about the end product of their efforts—for books, no matter how lavishly they are provided, and buildings, no matter how well planned and executed, are only the essential preparation or raw material for the librarian's proper task of getting information (whether in books or serials or pamphlets or videotape) to the people who need it.
