Abstract
THIS book, by the assistant librarian of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, will interest all librarians who have charge of special collections. It is an investigation of the cataloguing methods used in various types of special library-national, government, university, learned society, commercial, technical and school-with examples of how their special difficulties are met. Representative libraries of each type are dealt with in detail. In addition there are chapters on alphabetization, treatment of serial publications and co-operative cataloguing.
