University Library History: An International Review (Book Review) 1981-11-01 2 .pdf application/pdf 1491 72 58 Among the fifteen essays, three might be regarded as history but the majority can only be regarded as perceptive observations of the growth of academic libraries in the United States and Great Britain from the twenties to the present, with great emphasis upon the emer- gence of the academic library as a large com- plex organization of relatively recent origin.
