Synopsis

This work aims to be the most authoritative guide to library development and to provide all branches of the book and library world with reliable, accurate and useful information for their everyday work. On the basis of a worldwide questionnaire mailing, this tenth edition provides details of nearly 40,000 libraries from 167 countries. It covers national, state, regional and central university libraries as well as public, college and other academic libraries. Each entry includes the library name, address, contact details, details of special collections, statistics and other data. Entries are for special libraries with more than 5000 volumes, though some Third World countries are not limited by these restrictions. It is designed for public libraries, library suppliers, booksellers and wholesalers.
