Library Service to Undergraduates: A Symposium - Introductory Remarks; The College Library at the University of Chicago; Lamont Library, Harvard College; Undergraduate Libraries; The Vital Core

Abstract

The following four statements, with an introduction by Arthur M. McAnally, director of libraries, University of Oklahoma, were presented at the meeting of the University Libraries Section, ACRL, in New York, July I, 1952. Lack of space prevents the inclusion of several pertinent comments by participants and members of the audience. Essentially, these comments were concerned with the need of faculty members and librarians to work closely together, the distractions which compete with reading and library use, and, in some cases, the actual inability of students to read.
