Description:Preface (excerpt)Many monographs have been written upon certain periods in the history of librarianship, or dealing with individuals or institutions, but a book covering the entire field has not previously been attempted. The chronological arrangement assists one to appreciate the development of librarianship, for the important events are illustrated as milestones along the road of progress. This book cannot be considered a complete history of the subject, but rather as stepping-stones consisting of the chief events that have influenced the history of librarianship, connected together by the important details in the lives of those who have made the history. The librarians and book collectors are of primary importance, and their lives illustrate the development of the subject far better than would the historical background, for political interference has too often resulted in the destruction, rather than construction of libraries.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
