Abstract
THIS volume is based on a questionnaire sent out by the International Institute of Intellectual Co-operation, and it provides the most detailed account of the status of librarians in various countries which has yet been published. Thirty-five countries or States are included in the survey, of which twenty-seven are in Europe, the others being South Africa, Brazil, Canada, China, the United States, India, Japan and New Zealand. The information asked for by the questionnaire related to the categories of librarians and libraries existing in the country concerned, the authorities to which they were subject, the qualifications required of candidates for the library profession, whether and what diplomas or other examinations were available and the particular courses of study provided in connexion with them, and their location and control.
