A propos de cet article

26 cm. [10], 427, [1] pages. Ex-library with the usual library markings. Name of previous owner in ink on fep. With a Foreword by Bill M.

The group sought to address their common problems by banding together. Their goal, as stated in the first issue of Special Libraries, was to "unite in co-operation all small libraries throughout the country; financial, commercial, scientific, industrial; and special departments of state, college and general libraries; and, in fact, all libraries devoted to special purposes and serving a limited clientage.".…
