Excerpt from Library Instruction in Universities, Colleges, and Normal Schools
The importance of instruction in the use of books, bibliography, and library economy is recognized by institutions of higher education in the United States. In many of the universities, colleges, and normal schools of the country prescribed courses are given in the book arts and bibliography. In the year 1881 Mr. R. C. Davis, librarian emeritus of the University of Michigan, succeeded in having a course in bibliography and reference works made a part of the curriculum of the University of Michigan. The efforts of Mr. Davis gave a great impetus to the general movement for bibliographical and library instruction in colleges and universities. Brown Uni versity in 1902 - 3 offered a course in bibliography, which in recent years has been discontinued, owing to pressure of other duties on the part of the professor of bibliography, who is at the same time librarian of the university. Yale University has a course in the bibliography of history, which is required of all students before further courses in history can be taken. This course has been found productive of an excellent training for advanced college work.
