Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical development of departmental libraries in 19th-century Scottish and American universities, focusing on the University of Glasgow. It provides a detailed analysis of the reasons for the growth of departmental libraries, the challenges they faced, and the different models of cooperation and control that were developed between them and central libraries.
