Wynan's DICTIONARY OF AMERICAN LIBRARY BIOGRAPHY and Donald G. Davis Jr.'s AMERICAN LIBRARY HISTORY: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE LITERATURE as essential reference tools for the study of library history. It is, however, much broader in scope, both geographically and chronologically. Edited by two prominent U.S. library historians, the volume contains articles by more than 200 contributors from three dozen countries. The work is organized in a standard one-volume encyclopedia format with alphabetically arranged articles, cross references, brief bibliographies, and a detailed index. The essays are basically of two types: geographical and subject. The geographical articles survey libraries in particular countries or regions. They also profile more than 50 major libraries worldwide [T]he broad coverage makes the encyclopedia a rich source of information on the historical role of the library in society in diverse times and places." -- Thomas F. O'Connor (from his LIBRARY JOURNAL review). First Edition. Hardcover. New/in publisher's shrinkwrap. xxxi, 707pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Seller Inventory # 017274
