Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Classification and Subject Index for Cataloguing and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library: Look inside the book: The predominant tendency or obvious purpose of the book, usually decides its class number at once; still many books treat of two or more different subjects, and in such cases it is assigned to the place where it will be most useful, and underneath the class number are written the numbers of any other subjects on which it also treats. ...By the use of size numbers the greatest possible economy of space may be secured, for the size distinction may be made for every inch or even less if desired, and this without additional labor, as it will be seen that the size figure, when introduced, requires one less figure in the book number, and so does not increase the number of digits as would at first appear. About Melvil Dewey, the Author: Melville Louis Kossuth (Melvil) Dewey (December 10, 1851 – December 26, 1931) was an American librarian and educator, inventor of the Dewey Decimal system of library classification, and a founder of the Lake Placid Club. ...His theories of spelling reform (to which end he founded the Spelling Reform Association in 1886) found some local success at Lake Placid: there is an 'Adirondac Loj' in the area, and dinner menus of the club featured his spelling reform.

Summary : The book ecosystem is radically changing, and libraries must change with it. This book tackles the controversial discussion about eBooks and explores librarian-driven solutions and visions for the future of libraries in the 21st century. The eBook Revolution: A Primer for Librarians on the Front Lines is exactly what its title promises: an essential resource for librarians facing the formidable task of coordinating the library-wide transition to eBooks and fielding questions from patrons about eBooks on a daily basis. After an introduction that covers the basics of eBooks and current eBook technology, the author puts things into perspective, documenting the changes that have occurred over the past decade. She also delves into important eBook issues, identifying librarian-driven solutions and providing glimpses of what libraries in the near future will likely be like. The book examines perennially critical issues such as accessibility, resource sharing, and the digital divide within the context of eBook technology and provides a clear framework for discussing eBooks, thereby enabling readers to make informed decisions regarding their own organizations.

Synopsis of the original book Chapter-by-chapter summaries Key takeaways from each chapter A history of the Los Angeles Central Library Editorial Review Background on Susan Orlean About the Original Book: Susan Orlean uses the 1986 Great Fire at the Los Angeles Central Library as the backdrop to explore the history of libraries and librarianship in the United States. In the end, there is no clear resolution about how and why the fire started. However, the author is clear that libraries have endured all types of fires, both physical and metaphorical. Orlean shows the biggest threat to the Los Angeles Library System, like other public library systems, is the threat of irrelevance. For her part, Orlean sees the library as ever-evolving and able to adapt to modern needs rather than succumb to them. Her book is both a history of libaries as well as a love letter to them.

Summary : Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Library Formed by Edward Arnold Part from the necessity, for many reasons, of having a catalogue of my father's library, just as my sister and I had a catalogue of his French furniture (so ably compiled by Mr. Frank Rutter), it has also been made as a souvenir of the happy hours we spent together looking at the books he loved so much. Tell me, says a Spanish proverb, what books a man reads, and I will tell you what he is and a perusal of the catalogue shows and reflects, more truly. His exquisite and refined taste and foresight, than anything I can write. My father always preferred quality to quantity, and therefore it is not what the world would call a large library.
