crl-12497	Chase, William	Access to Library Collections (Book Review)	1973-01-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1424	67	55	It is in the definitions of browsing and browsability that we encounter Hyman's own contribution to the book: Browsing is that activity, subsumed in the direct shelf approach, whereby materials arranged for use in a library are examined in the reason- able expectation that desired or valuable items or information might be found among those materials as arranged on the shelves, and browsability is that characteristic of an open-shelf collection resulting from the arrangement of a library's materials that permits browsing. the problems related to direct access are peculiarly obdurate, and ... one might through any representative sampling of past studies, reconfirm their pervasive and still largely unresolved nature.	cache/crl-12497.pdf	txt/crl-12497.txt
