This book, first published in 1931, presents a survey of librarianship by some of its leading theorists of the early twentieth century, a time of rapid library expansion following the Library Act of 1919. The entire field of Library service was undergoing review and experiment, with little remaining unchanged, and this volume details some of the new and modern practices then being adopted.

This set, comprising out-of-print titles from The Library Association Series of Library Manuals and The Practical Library Handbooks, is a key guide to the early modernisation of librarianship. Systems set up then are still in use today, giving the books practical use today, as well as providing a valuable historical analysis of the discipline.
