Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Amherst College Library The Library of Amherst College was commenced in 1821, the same year that the College went into operation. It however numbered very few books pre vious to 1832, in which year, about two thousmd standard works in litera ture and science were purchased in London and Paris, by Professor Hovey, with money raised by general subscription among the friends of the College. From that time the Library gradually increased to 1850, when it num bered about six thousand volumes. During that year, the room in the Chapel devoted to the Library having become too small to accommodate the books, a subscription was started for the purpose of procuring funds for the erection of a new library building, and the purchase of such books as the necessities of both Officers and Students seemed imperatively to demand. With the twenty thous dollars realized from this subscription, a new li braty building was erected in 1853, and such additions made to the Library, that, with other donations, the number of volumes which it now contains, varies not far from twelve thousand.

Download or read book Catalogue of Marietta College Library 1857 Classic Reprint written by Marietta College Library and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Marietta College Library, 1857 The Library of Marietta College contains upward of volumes. It had its origin in the donation of a few volumes in the infancy of the institution, and at one time consisted mostly of text-books, the gift in part, of the students of Amherst and Yale. The first consid crable addition by purchase, was a choice collection of philological works, selected in Europe in 1837, by President, then Professor, Smith. With this accession the Library numbered volumes, and soon after the first Catalogue, prepared by Tutor Adkins, was published. In 1852 President Smith again visited Europe and pro cured the larger and more valuable part of the present Library, embracing many rare and costly works. In the departments of Natural Science, in Philology, Metaphysics, Theology and Biblical Literature, probably no College Library at the West is so well sup plied; while any deficiency in works of general literature is met by the well selected and rapidly increasing Libraries of the Literary Societies. From the subscribed before the recent purchases, there remains an income to the Library of over $300 a year, which is further increased by students' fees. It is to be hoped, however, that this is but the beginning of Marietta College Library. A Library edifice is much needed for the security, better arrangement and growth of the several libraries connected with the College, which already make an aggregate of over volumes.

This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Treasurer, Overseers of the Poor, and Trustees of the Library, of the Town of Amherst, for the Year Ending March 1st, 1882 Self Culture, Rev. Freeman Clark D. D., by Mrs. Wm. Blan chard of Boston. The Library now contains nine hundred and thirty volumes, most of them in good condition and adapted to general read ing. More than ten years have elapsed since a complete cata logue was published. The number of readers would undoubt edly increase if all the volumes with their appropriate titles were printed in one catalogue. As the matter now is, few per sons have sufficient knowledge of what the Library contains to avail themselves Ofits treasures. 1f the Town should decide to make an appropriation to pay the cost of printing, we think that the labor required in the preparation of a new catalogue would be furnished gratuitously.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report offers a case study in the advantages and disadvantages of depository libraries, their economics, and the practical and political issues associated with their creation. As director of the library at Amherst College, the author played a key role in establishing the initial off-site storage facility, as well as in broadening its service to the Five Colleges, Inc. (Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst). As libraries change in response to budgetary constraints as well as developments in information technology, the Five College Library Depository model suggests new possibilities for collection management and ways for libraries to reframe their service missions. The questions facing all academic libraries--to what extent can they provide access to materials that they do not own, and which materials must they preserve for future generations--are examined in this report. Contents include: alternatives to open-shelf storage of library materials; continuing net growth of paper collections; off-site storage considerations; establishment of the Amherst College Library Depository; the proposal for a Five-College Library Depository; anticipated implementation and operation; Five-College Collection Management Committee; academic department reactions to the proposed depository; and a national trend toward academic depository libraries.
