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.

  • 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.

  • Buying, Selling, and Advertising British Luxury Imports During The
    GOT SILK?: BUYING, SELLING, AND ADVERTISING BRITISH LUXURY IMPORTS DURING THE STAMP ACT CRISIS Michele Conrady Busse, B.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2007 APPROVED: Guy Chet, Major Professor Marilyn Morris, Minor Professor Randolph B. Campbell, Minor Professor Andrian Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Busse, Michele Conrady, Got Silk?: Buying, Selling, and Advertising British Luxury Imports During the Stamp Act Crisis. Master of Arts (History), August 2007, 188 pp., 9 tables, 20 figures, references, 62 titles. Despite the amount of scholarship on the Stamp Act Crisis, no study has used advertisements as a main source. This study attempts to show that a valuable, objective source has been overlooked, through the quantitative analysis of 5,810 advertisements before, during and after the Stamp Act Crisis from five port cities: Boston, Charleston, Philadelphia, New York, and Portsmouth. The findings reveal the colonists’ strong connection to imported British luxury goods, and a lack of interest in American-made goods, especially before and after the boycott. Advertisements also demonstrate that the decision of many merchants to place the needs and expectations of their community before their own personal gain offered a rare economic opportunity for others. The colonists’ devotion to imports tested the strength of the boycott, especially among Boston merchants, who continued to advertise imported goods a good deal more than any other city. This lack of dedication to the boycott on the part of the Boston merchants shows disunity among the colonies, at a time when many argue was the first instance of colonial nationalism.

  • A Bibliography American Children's Books Printed Prior to 1821
    A Bibliography of American Children's Books Printed Prior to 1821 I-O BY D'ALTÉ A. WELCH The introduction and parts A-C of this work appeared in the Proceedings of April, 1963; D-G, October, 1963; and H, October, 1964. AMERICAN CHILDREN'S BOOKS 273 FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AM indebted to Miss Ruth E. Adomeit, Cleveland, Ohio, I the leading authority on miniature books for help on all sec- tions covering miniature books, especially miniature Bibles. She has not only allowed me access to her card file for locations of books, but also has told me of many editions I did not know of. All locations following the words "Adomeit (card)" refer to those obtained from the card and are put in the author section of loca- tions. The locations of an Adomeit (card) may be followed by another author such as Evans, Rosenbach, etc., and are not to be considered as being locations obtained from the card. I greatly appreciate Miss Adomeit's invaluable advice in preparation of this section of the bibliography, particularly entries 772-778.8 779-786. I also wish to thank Wm. M. Fitzhugh, Jr., M.D., for being most generous in loaning me choice material. Ludwig Ries has been especially helpful in giving me advice on German chil- dren's books printed in America and continually loaning me wonderful American and English children's books from his collections. Frederick Gardner is another enthusiastic collector who has loaned me fine material. Others who have been most helpful are: Miss Alexandra Mason (KU); Francis 0.
