History of Libraries in the Western World (Book Review)	1977	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1296	60	55	But it is worth consid- ering some flaws in what may still be con- sidered as one of the more useful texts because they reflect characteristic short- comings, not only of library history as it has been written, but of the kind of tedious courses to which library school students are often subjected. In sum, it is an old-fashioned approach Recent Publications I 355 that suffers by comparison with recent works in library history, especially those ap- pearing in conjunction with the American Bicentennial that called attention to the richness the field holds for its students and the greater sophistication in handling the subject deserves.-W.
