Excerpt from War Service of the American Library Association If you visit one of the large training camps today - Cantonment or National Guard - you will nd at the center of it a library; an attractive building, with a collection of ten or fteen thousand books, and accommodations for nearly two hundred readers. It is a cheerful building, an inviting building, amply lighted by day, brightly lighted by night, Well warmed in the chilly season, sometimes with the addition of an open re - well aired in every season. The books are readable books, and they are on open shelves, directly accessible, Without formality. They may be freely used on the premises - freely taken for reading elsewhere on being properly charged. And if you enter a Y. M. C. A. hut or Knights of Columbus building you will see other shelves of the same sort of books - subsidiary collections supplied from the central library - which similarly may be read or freely drawn for reading in mess hall or barrack. You may even nd such subsidiary collections in the mess halls or barracks themselves. You will nd them in the Base Hospitals and the Convalescent Houses.

Excerpt from An Union List of Collections on European History in American Libraries: Compiled for the Committee on Bibliography of the American Historical Association Besides corrections, this edition contains eighteen additional titles of the more important sets overlooked in previous printings and nearly two thousand additions to the located copies. On the other hand, however, about a score of duplicate or faulty titles have been withdrawn. The thanks of the Committee and of all historical students are due to the libraries which have so cordially co-operated. The considerable amount of work implied on the part of each co-operating library naturally made some hesitate at first and until the meaning and usefulness to both libraries and historical students was fully explained and understood, but the universally cordial and even enthusiastic response, after the matter was understood, has been most gratifying. The check list was sent out last year (1911) and the results compiled and presented as a report at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association at Buffalo in December of that year. Some of the figures and inferences of this report will be found following this preface. The Check List, uncorrected as to bars, but with indication of location of copies added, as in the present edition, was issued in March as a proof edition.
