Abstract
THE first number of a new volume of THE LIBRARY WORLD offers an occasion for brief retrospect and reflection. For seventeen years the magazine has appeared regularly, untrammelled by official connexion and presenting a catholic view of libraries and the library profession. It began its career at a time when discussions of methods such as openaccess, classified cataloguing, and even library bulletins, created an excitement which they rarely create now and in these and all subsequent discussions THE LIBRARY WORLD has endeavoured to keep level with, or even in advance of, the best opinion of the day. The leading men in the professionboth living and deadhave contributed to these pages and altogether the magazine has stood consistently for progress, for advanced methods, and for the importance and dignity of the librarian's office.
