crl-12563	Watson, Peter G.	Out of the Dinosaurs --the Evolution of the National Lending Library for Science and Technology (Book Review)	1973	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1485	65	54	He antici- pates replacing today's ineffective leader- ship with young people (of whom he is tenderly fond) drawn from the behavioral and social sciences, moved bv an idealism we have long lost, who ~ill somehow, through greater sensitivity and compassion, superior education, and a more demanding society, revolutionize our present concepts of library service. In seven tightly-organized chapters the author, who is senior lecturer in informa- · tion work at Liverpool Polytechnic, covers the fascinating historical background to the NLL; its staffing, stock, and records; the operational service; and the ancillary activ- ities (translations, courses, etc.) which con- stitute some of the best examples of the NLL' s creative, flexible, and undogmatic approach to modern library service.	cache/crl-12563.pdf	txt/crl-12563.txt
