"During the past fifty years, the number of organized university presses in the United States has steadily, from five in 1902, to many times that number in 1952, while the scope of press activities has expanded to the extent that thirty-five presses accounted for 'about 1.5 per cent of the dollar value of all bound books sold in the United States' in the one year period from April 1, 1948, to March 31, 1949. Not only has their share of the book publishing volume reached important dimensions,...

Not only has their share of the book publishing volume reached important dimensions, but the scholarly nature of university press publications means that teachers, librarians, and book agents must become increasingly aware of the range and significance of these publications"--Introduction.

The policies of the Guide as stated by Dr. Marcus Wilson Jernegan, editor of the United States history section, have been followed in the preparation of this bibliography. In keeping with the spirit and purpose of the Guide, 'There are listed only such works of general interest or of general character and such more important and useful special studies as are likely to be of service to public libraries, secondary schools, and colleges.' Due to the listing of bibliographies in American history in section XI, selections for the revolutionary period of United States history were limited, 'chiefly to important standard works and to the more valuable special studies.' However, less valuable material was included for those topics which had not received 'authoritative or definitive treatment'"--Introduction.

The increase in the number of literary awards has created a selection problem for the librarian in that she is not always able to accept automatically a work solely on the basis of its recognition as a prize winner. It has become necessary that the librarian familiarize herself with the background and program of the body making the award, the works per se and subsequent criticism in order to judge their worth for the library collection. The writer of this paper, recognizing this problem, was...
Show moreThe increase in the number of literary awards has created a selection problem for the librarian in that she is not always able to accept automatically a work solely on the basis of its recognition as a prize winner. It has become necessary that the librarian familiarize herself with the background and program of the body making the award, the works per se and subsequent criticism in order to judge their worth for the library collection. The writer of this paper, recognizing this problem, was prompted to investigate the worth of literary awards. A preliminary survey of the awards and critics' reaction to them indicated a more detailed study would be justified. A thorough investigation of all the literary awards would be impossible, but a study restricted to one seemed worthwhile as well as practical. This, in turn, would form a basis for the evaluation of comparable awards, for techniques employed here, in all probability, could be used in a study of other recognized literary works. This paper, therefore, encompasses Pulitzer Prize dramas for 1918 to 1950 and evaluates these dramas, in terms of popular and literary merit.

A report of the investigation of Mississippi's regional library program.

This paper includes a brief sketch of the history of the Literary Guild which outlines the club's background and selection and distribution policies. Next it presents an examination of each of the twelve titles distributed to Guild members in 1948, followed by a...

"A cursory examination of the magazine [Flair] convinced this writer that a more detailed study would be worthwhile. Such a study could be justified simply because the magazine did represent a departure from the traditional periodical publication. Therefore, it seemed a fairly detailed examination of the magazine itself, in an attempt to determine factors contributing to its failure, would be of value. In undertaking the study, the writer has felt that it would make a real contribution to her...

Such a study could be justified simply because the magazine did represent a departure from the traditional periodical publication. Therefore, it seemed a fairly detailed examination of the magazine itself, in an attempt to determine factors contributing to its failure, would be of value. In undertaking the study, the writer has felt that it would make a real contribution to her professional background, because the procedure developed for this paper may be applied to the new magazines she will encounted as a professional librarian. In reporting the results of this analysis, this writer has recorded the history and purposes of the magazine, together with a short review of the experience and abilities of its editors, a study of its contents, and a fairly brief analysis of its employment of graphic arts"--Introduction.
