The Occasional Papers deal with varied aspects of librarianship and
consist of papers that generally are too detailed for inclusion in a
periodical, or are of specialized or contemporary interest. Occasional
Paper 208 is a 70-page commentary on the relationship between library and
user, viewing methods of supplying literature needed for humanistic
research from a scholar's perspective. Library problems and the problems
of scholarly literature are closely entwined. Current library problems
are not isolated technical problems, but are problems with components that
affect, and were shaped by, theoretical research and the history of
scholarship, the authors state. Humanistic research depends on library
effectiveness.
Based on Bernhard Fabian's "Buch, Bibliothek, und geisteswissenschaftliche
Forschung," which stresses the interrelationship and interdependence of
humanities and the research library with the intent of ameliorating
shortcomings in Germany's bibliographical institutions, this original work
also has value for American librarians and bibliographers. With
Professor Fabian's approval, John J. Boll has updated and adapted the
paper to address American conditions and needs. The symbiosis of the
research library, research resources, and research in the humanities
remains the work's central theme.
