Hardcover. 1579582443 .*** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** – – *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED; 1053 pages -- Library Journal Review: Like Wayne A. Wiegand and Donald G. Davis's Encyclopedia of Library History (ELH) (Professional Media, LJ 4/15/94), this reference set contains entries on both general library history topics and on individual libraries. Whereas ELH emphasizes the topical approach, this work focuses on the histories of individual libraries. The vast majority of the 225 libraries included are in Europe (122 entries) and the United States (59 entries). Editor Stam (University Librarian Emeritus, Syracuse Univ. ) did try to make the work global: China has as many entries as France (seven). The typical small country, if included at all, has an entry for the national library and the largest university library. Each entry is three or four pages long, starts with brief directory and statistical information, and concludes with a short bibliography. All of the articles are signed. In the "Introductory Surveys" section, representing one-fifth of the total work, there are topical articles comparable to those in ELH. Among the topics covered here but not in the earlier work are digital libraries and women's libraries. Filling a gap in the reference literature of library history, this work should be in library science collections and large public and academic libraries. -- with a bonus offer-- ., Fitzroy Dearborn Pub, 2001, 6<
