"Euro-Librarianship" focuses on the importance of co-operation between libraries throughout Europe and the United States to provide the best access and information to research materials. Stressing enhanced communication and shared responsibilities, this new volume helps bring libraries of all countries closer to the resource sharing capabilities that will allow scholars and researchers much wider access to information than is available today. In this new book, many of the papers that were presented at the Second Western Euopean Specialists (WESS) International Conference are brought together to be read and studied by everyone. Chapters by several authors in their original languages (with English abstracts) give this book an international appeal. Common difficulties such as fiscal constraints and rising book and serial prices are discussed. Other topics covered include publishing in several European countries, the use of databases in European communities, autobiographies, memoirs, and life histories, and information centers and archives. There are also profiles of several national libraries in Europe.
