The Library World Volume 45 Issue 8

The Library World Volume 45 Issue 8 THE past month has brought no dramatic change in the general situation, great as have been the events that have been passing. So far as librarians are concerned, the remarkable fact has been that in most towns the demands made upon them have exceeded anything in their record. We do not know if this is the universal experience it certainly is a wellspread one. Our difficulties are not eased by the continuous callup of women assistants and the replacements which ensue. Some towns are unable to offer salaries to new comers which enables them to obtain competent assistants. Many of the temporary workers are doing well, however. Another progressively disturbing matter is the paucity of books, new or reprinted, and the small return for money spent on such as we do get. The only good thing about the wartime economy book is its slenderness we can get a hundred on a shelf where previously only thirty could be housed. The times do not lack small interests of this sort. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png New Library World Emerald Publishing

Abstract

THE past month has brought no dramatic change in the general situation, great as have been the events that have been passing. So far as librarians are concerned, the remarkable fact has been that in most towns the demands made upon them have exceeded anything in their record. We do not know if this is the universal experience it certainly is a wellspread one. Our difficulties are not eased by the continuous callup of women assistants and the replacements which ensue. Some towns are unable to offer salaries to new comers which enables them to obtain competent assistants. Many of the temporary workers are doing well, however. Another progressively disturbing matter is the paucity of books, new or reprinted, and the small return for money spent on such as we do get. The only good thing about the wartime economy book is its slenderness we can get a hundred on a shelf where previously only thirty could be housed. The times do not lack small interests of this sort.
