EDITORIAL SPESIAL LIBRARIES-ALIVE OR DEAD The differentiation of the special library is now, there can be no ovcr- loolting the fact, an established unit in business ancl education at least. In the sclences and in law, the special library has long since csaseci to be a suikcient novelty to warrant much discussion. C~uingthe past summer months of this year an ave2clge of half a clozen gzeat trade or class papers either printed edito~inlalaudatory of the potential work of special libraTies or of that cP a special libsariail, or pi-inted articles by special librarians on their work. This patent public interest comes naturally in the wake of the wave of agitation in favor of scientific and industrial research. 111 this issue SPECIAL LIBRARIES prints an announcement of the ap- pointment of a librarian and the illauguration of library service by the Amalgamated Clothing Worleers of America as part of the education program of this great organization of workers. In the same issue is rccorclecl the rise of the erstwhile librarian and later, chief of information of a great association of employers to the position of assistant to the managing director. In this same issue, also, reference is made to the championship be- fore the great British Association for the Advancement of Science of special libl-ary work, advocating most radical support in the use of library facilities as an aid to industrial research. Special libraries are alive, keenly alive, both to the opportunity and the responsibility which has come to them of cooperating actively, con- stiuctively and permanently with research in industry, science, educatim ancl labor. The condition confronting the special librarian is not a simple one. The shaping. of our interests so that they may comport with those and be acceptable by those of the iilvestigators in the fields already referred to, is no mean task. Special libraries are alive to the situation. They are so much alive to it that, in a short time, we may confidently expect to see them every- where working side-by-side with the fact analysts, the research workers and laboratory and construction technicians.
