Book Description
Excerpt from Library Aids IT is very desirable that a library manual should be prepared and published. None exists in the Eng lish language. There are materials, however, for a good one in the contents of the seven volumes of the Library Journal already published and of the Special Report issued at Washington in 1876, by the Bureau of Education, and entitled Public Libraries in the United States of America, their history, condition, and management. I have been requested to call attention to the more important articles and papers in these publications, and by grouping them under appropriate headings make their usefulness more apparent than it is at present to the great body of librarians and persons interested in establishing and maintaining libraries.

Book Description
Excerpt from Aids in Book Selection The following suggestions are made for the benefit of small libraries, many of which are organized by young women of limited experience in library matters. The more extended or technical bibliographies, necessary to the work of selection and ordering in larger libraries, are purposely omitted, our aim being to mention some of the most practical aids and those most easily obtained. Even so, the list may seem formidable to the beginner unless he remembers that no one library will need all the aids referred to.

Book Description
Excerpt from Aids in Library Work With Foreigners Even before they can read English, they are familiar with the teach ings of our English philosophers and scientists, Spencer and Darwin. In reading, their interest lies in books of philosophy and socialism that attempt a solution of the social problems through Zionism or some other idealistic form of government. They are a serious peo ple, (frequently the children ask for sad books for their mothers) with, as some one has aptly said, the burden of the Ages 'on their back. The immigrant is no barbarian. In fact, when I first took charge of the foreign department at our library, what impressed me most was the unfailing courtesy of my public. He invariably takes time to say Good morning, and Thank you, and Good bye, for he has not yet acquired our American spirit of hurry. He has a keen appreciation of a kindness and a strong desire to reciprocate a kindly act, as is evidenced by gifts to our department. A few weeks ago came sixty volumes in Portuguese from the Portuguese consul. A Yiddish magazine is subscribed for by a Jew for the library. A young Greek gave us a copy of Pilgrim's Progress in Modern Greek, which, by the way, he said he had read six times. I wonder how many of us have gone through it once. It is a classic of our literature. He has been in this country two years, in Providence but a few months, and is a constant reader in the department and a book-borrower. I might mention, in passing, the facility of these people in acquit ing languages. An Armenian who does not find anything that inter ests him in Armenian will almost never turn away without a French book. I noticed with interest two girls and a young man, who could read both French and German besides Armenian, finally choose Ana tole France's poetry to take home. The other day an Armenian asked for Emerson's Conduct of Life in English, and is at present coming to the department during his lunch hour to read it. Many of the better educated Jews will read Russian, Yiddish, and German, anyway, and sometimes French, Italian, and Spanish, too. A young Roumanian Jew about sixteen years old, who has been in America but three months, was reading a simple history of the United States, stories of famous American statesmen, and a geography of the United States in English.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Plan of Organization for Small Libraries: Methods of Work, Lists of Supplies and Aids It is recommended that all orders for books be made out on book order cards which will be kept and form the shelf list. In libraries too small to be classified the books will be recorded by accession number and shelved alphabetically by author. All methods of work from the selection of the book until it is ready for circulation and eventually with drawn are described in detail and lists of supplies needed are given with prices. There are suggestions and lists of aids for equipment, for care of books, for library economics, for publicity and allied activities. A brief history of the library movement in America leads to the relations between the librarian and the board, the schools, the teachers and the community; and to suggestions given for making the library an attractive center in the town life.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Small Library: A Guide to the Collection and Care of Books OF all the difficult, hazardous and thankless tasks which well-meaning persons can choose for the improvement of their fellows, perhaps none is so unproductive, in some quarters, as book-selection and the recommendation of reading matter. In ninety cases out of a hundred, persons who read books recommended by others will contemn the judgment and taste of the recommender, and even hint at a certain lack of knowledge and critical perception. As a rule, educated and well-read people should never be assisted in any way in their reading or choice of books, because they are almost sure to resent even well-meant efforts, as an ofiicious intrusion into the sanctity of their own superior knowledge. And, no doubt, it is somewhat of an insult to a thorough-going specialist to have some less-learned bibliographer thrusting forth with his selection of books and annotations, as a kind of last word on the subject. Furthermore, the book-browser, or desultory reader, is another who scorns aids to systematic study, or the scientific.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Library Institute: Papers and Proceedings, 1918 In view of the entrance of America into the war, the interest of this meet ing is naturally focused on the patriotic service which such as Association as this, and the libraries which it represents, can render in the national emergency. The afternoon session is given up wholly to this matter, and the main part of the usual President's address, which will be devoted to the war service of libraries of learning, with some special emphasis on the matter of censorship, will therefore be reserved for this afternoon. The war does not, however, put an end to our usual activities, and the morning session is dedicated to some of those topics which we have to con sider whether in peace or in war. The bulk of the program will be given to what may be counted the livest practical topic within the field of the A. L. I. At the present moment; that is, the higher education of librarians but we are fortunate in having one of Dr. Koopman's characteristic contributions to suggest the other extreme of our field from either that of the practical operation of libraries as represented in this morning's session or the prae tical service of those libraries in world work as represented in the afternoon. It is our symbol today for the manuscript field, and, like several of the topics for this afternoon, a symbol of research, a term which has come to express perhaps the most distinctive aspect of the work of this Institute and of the Bibliographical Society, as differentiated from the work of the American Library Association, whose distinctive work is in promoting education and the dissemination of knowledge. Further suggestive research matters are also touched in the pages on Small libraries and Index aids to research, also in three lists of historical periodicals and in a substantial addition to the collections of materials for library history in the matters of the libraries at boghaz-keui and at Pergamon.

Book Description
Excerpt from A List of Books Suited to a High-School Library The list difiers from others of similar character in that it is not compiled from the librarian's point of view, but from that of the departments concerned each contributing those titles which from experience have proved themselves of greatest value. An attempt has been made to select the latest editions, since they will be in print longer; to choose the least expensive works which will give full service, and to select those most attractive to the high-school mind. Thus in some lists textbook editions have been carefully avoided because to many students the appearance of the studied textbook is repellant. Well-illustrated editions have often been listed when the illustrations aid the interest in or the understanding of the text. Often the more expensive editions have been listed because of their great value to the student, though they have seldom been starred. No work has been included which has not seemed of real value to a proportion of the student body. The course of study develops the need of the book. This list is based upon the present curriculum in the University High School. As that curriculum is not vitally different from the course of the majority of high schools, the list may be of general value. The list does not represent a minimum of the books necessary for effective work, neither is it all-inclusive. Rather, it indicates the proportion of a well-stocked, practical library. Its greatest value lies, perhaps, in the fact that it forms a systematized basis for building up a working library vital to the life of the school.
