Abstract
THE annual report of the British Library of Political and Economic Science, which is housed in the London School of Economics and Political Science, for the year ended July 31, 1944, includes a retrospect of 1933–44. In this ten years the Library added 104,450 bound volumes to its shelves, and 154,368 cards to its author catalogue. During 1934–35 the Library added to its shelves 4,549 treatises and was receiving currently 3,339 periodical titles, as against 5,445 treatises and 4,506 periodicals in 1938–39, the last year of normal working. In the years immediately preceding the War, much was done to strengthen the staff and to improve its status. This larger and more highly qualified staff enabled the whole of the administration of the Library to be reorganized and the services to be greatly improved.
