Preservation and Scholarship in Libraries

Abstract

The technological and other changes affecting research libraries in recent decades are reviewed in relation to the book and its conservation, and to once traditional book‐centred librarians. The status of the scholar librarian and book conservation are considered in the light of those changes and with regard to present day requirements for the management of library services.
