“At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin” a Brief History of the Library Company of Philadelphia Francesco Lazzarini, Benjamin Franklin
“At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin” A Brief History of the Library Company of Philadelphia Francesco Lazzarini, Benjamin Franklin. Marble sculpture, ca. 1792, commissioned by William Bingham for the Library Company’s first building. “At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin” A Brief History of the Library Company of Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA: The Library Company of Philadelphia 1314 Locust Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107 2015 ©2015 by the Library Company of Philadelphia 1314 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107 All Rights Reserved. Printed in the United States of America. ISBN 978-0-914076-46-9 Cover illustration: James Reid Lambdin, Benjamin Franklin. Oil on canvas, 1880. Purchased by the Library Company, 1880. 4 n July 1, 1731, Benjamin Franklin and a number of his fellow members of the Junto drew up “Articles of Agreement” to Ofound a library. The Junto was a discussion group of young men seeking social, economic, intellectual, and political advancement. When they foundered on a point of fact, they needed a printed authority to set- tle the divergence of opinion. In colonial Pennsylvania at the time there were not many books. Standard English reference works were expensive and difficult to obtain. Franklin and his friends were mostly mechanics of moderate means. None alone could have afforded a representative li- brary, nor, indeed, many imported books. By pooling their resources in pragmatic Franklinian fashion, they could. The contribution of each cre- ated the book capital of all. Fifty subscribers invested forty shillings each and promised to pay ten shillings a year thereafter to buy books and maintain a shareholder’s library. -

RICHARDSON THELAST DECADE OF THE nineteenth century and the first decade of this century witnessed some activity in the collecting of historical children’s books, but that flurry did not extend much beyond New England generally, and the Connecticut Historical Society and the American Antiquarian Society specifica1ly.l A resurgence of interest in collecting occurred in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1938 six articles appeared in Library Journal under the title “Collections of Rare Children’s Books: A Symposium.” The series had been prepared under the auspices of the Publicity Committee of the American Library Association (ALA) Section for Library Work with Children. -
Urban Space on the Frontier: the Development of Sapporo in Meiji Japan Ethan Barkalow, Class of 2018
Urban Space on the Frontier: The Development of Sapporo in Meiji Japan Ethan Barkalow, Class of 2018 Through the Goldsmith Adams Research Award, I had a two-fold experience of research and language study in Japan this summer. For eight weeks I lived with a host family in Hakodate, Japan and enrolled in daily Japanese language courses. In the time immediately preceding and following this language program, I gathered invaluable primary source material with which I will use to pursue a history honors project on the urban development of Sapporo in Meiji Japan (1868-1912). The eight-week Japanese language program through the Hokkaido International Foundation (HIF) allowed me to immerse myself in Japanese language and culture in three settings: Japanese class, Japanese cultural events, and living with a host family. Continuing my Japanese studies at HIF was especially valuable for the progress of my Japanese minor at Bowdoin because after missing a semester of class in the spring semester I was able to catch up and can continue towards completing my Japanese minor. About four weeks of my time this summer in Japan were dedicated to conducting preliminary research and gathering primary and secondary sources to use in an honors project over the next year. Firstly, with students and faculty of the Bowdoin Japanese Program I spent about nine days in Tokyo. During this period, my faculty mentor Professor Sakura Christmas and I took several visits to the National Diet Library of Japan. The National Diet Library contains a comprehensive archive of historical documents which included material from and concerning Meiji-period Sapporo. -

Mapping Worldcat's Digital Landscape
106 LRTS 51(2) Mapping WorldCat’s Digital Landscape By Brian F. Lavoie, Lynn Silipigni Connaway, and Edward T. O’Neill Digital materials are reshaping library collections and, by extension, tradi- tional library practice for collecting, organizing, and preserving information. This paper uses OCLC’s WorldCat bibliographic database as a data source for examining questions relating to digital materials in library collections, including criteria for identifying digital materials algorithmically in MARC21 records; the quantity, types, characteristics, and holdings patterns of digital materials cataloged in WorldCat; and trends in WorldCat cataloging activity for digital materials over time. Issues pertaining to cataloging practice for digital materials and perspectives on digital holdings at the work level also are discussed. Analysis of the aggregate collection represented by the combined digital holdings in WorldCat affords a high-level perspective on historical patterns, suggests future trends, and supplies useful intelligence with which to inform decision making in a variety of areas. Introduction rint books have been the traditional focus of library collections; indeed, the Pword library itself originates from the Latin word for book, liber. Over time, library collections have diversified to embrace a variety of information resources, such as scholarly journals, photographs, microfilm, and videotapes (the authors note that a Columbus-area public library even circulates artwork to its users). But after print books, one may argue that digital materials have made the greatest impact on the nature and shape of library collections. The reverberations of this impact are still being felt and the long-term consequences for traditional print book collections are yet determined. -

The bus carried 60 passengers, many of which were young children with their mothers who were carrying Christmas gifts they had bought in the city, and others were workers in the maquilas, or textile factories, who were heading home after a long day’s work. As they were traveling, the driver, Guillermo Salgado Pineda, noticed two cars stopped ahead of him, and as the bus went along one of the cars cut off the bus and stopped in front of it while the other boxed it in from behind. -
