Abstract
IN complenig, as his last task of University libranian and keeper of the Brotherton Collection, this guide to the University library and the various departmental or specialist collections, Dr. Richard Offor has rendered a real service not only to the University of Leeds but also to librarians and students elsewhere, and it is welcome news that it is proposed to keep the guide up to date by a series of annual supplements. Even when the “World List of Scientific Periodicals’ and the ”Union Catalogue of the Periodical Publications in the University Libraries of the British Isles’ are again available, guides of this order will have a real value to the serious student, not merely because fuller information is supplied, but also because the arrangement facilitates some reasonable judgment as to where ‘browsing’ is likely to be most profitable.
