crl-12118	White, Carl M.	Library Development in Eight Asian Countries (Book Review)	1969	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1359	55	53	One set has to do with how favorable the social climate is to library development-whether a sound political and economic base for the pur- pose exists , to what extent continuing so- cial commitments and in particular educa- tional commitments are generating a real need for national library development, what teaching customs or other cultural characteristics put the brakes on creating library services to meet these needs , what the langua ge of learning is and how many are equipped to use it, whether there is an indigenous booktrade to provide readable books in the vernacular, and what use is made of non-print media . More com- monly governments of developing coun- tries and their foreign advisers on national planning treat it as a cluster of problems bounded by four walls-problems that may require outside purchases of books for shelf enrichment, gifts of scholarships for train- ing, expatriate librarians, foreign libraries to serve as substitutes for local libraries, but no real involvement of the indigenous power structure .	cache/crl-12118.pdf	txt/crl-12118.txt
