Synopsis

Excerpt from How to Use a Library: Practical Advice to Students and General Readers, With Explanations of Library Catalogues, a Systematic Description of Guides to Books, and a Guide to Special Libraries

From the observation of many thousands of readers and students, I am convinced that most people fail to Obtain the greatest amount of profit from the library facilities offered them, not from lack of Will to do so, but from want of the requisite guidance.

In the present handbook, I have endeavoured to give all the information necessary in as brief and practical a manner as possible.

Special attention is directed to the Index, which includes many subjects and synonyms not given in the headings in the text of the work.
