Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Guide to Librarianship: A Series of Reading Lists, Methods of Study, and Tables of Factors and Percentages Required in Connexion With Library Economy
It should be plainly understood that the list of books and articles given is neither select nor exhaustive, but as far as thought best, just useful. The intention is to give students as wide a choice as possible of helpful books, because it is realized that few libraries possess all the works listed, while the students themselves can only be expected to have a very small selection. Recognizing this, and also the fact that even a comparatively poor authority is better than none at all, a number of books and articles have been included because they are easily accessible rather than indispensable. The books marked with an asterisk in each division are those recommended as perhaps most useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
