of the card catalogs in the Harvard-Yenching Library. Seven articles serve as guidelines for evaluating and acquiring Chinese rare books and provide an introduction to the rare book collections in the Harvard-Yenching Library. The last three articles present the history of and guide to the Harvard-Yenching Library. In an appendix William Sheh Wong, a former East Asian librarian and professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, sketches Ch’iu’s life and contributions. The editor, Cheng, has made an admirable effort to collect more than thirty published and a few unpublished articles by Ch’iu. Some articles are in both English and Chinese. They can serve as dependable and convenient resources for librarians and scholars interested in the history of East Asian librarianship in the United States. These articles, particularly those on classification, cataloging, and Chinese rare books, not only are good resources for understanding the history and principles of the classification system for the Far East collections of some major universities in the United States but are also excellent materials in examining Ch’iu’s contributions to Asian American librarianship. However, the volume would be much more useful if Cheng had included more solid scholarly essays about Ch’iu’s works. For example, Cheng attributes Ch’iu’s achievements mainly to the training of the Boone Library School. But Ch’iu mentions in his reminiscences that his experiences with books and economics he encountered in his early childhood and youth “furnished the basis for my education in America” (3). Moreover, the articles Ch’iu wrote about Chinese classification and rare books showcase his broad knowledge of Chinese classical literature, philosophy, history, and art. Can we assume that Ch’iu’s cultural background was another important factor in forming his “library spirit”? If the editor had included some articles about this aspect, the volume would have more scholarly value. In addition, library service was the core of Ch’iu’s long career. He once said, “Don’t let any user go away from the library empty-handed.”1 It would have been nice if Cheng had provided some information on the service aspect and thereby presented a more complete picture of Ch’iu’s accomplishments.

This article contextualizes the history of public libraries during their formative periods, the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, within U.S. cultural history. It argues that the triumph of consumer capitalism, the dominance of hierarchy as an organizing principle, and the process of sacralization shaped public libraries' policies and procedures. The essay explores some of the ways that public libraries gave leisure an institutional form, helping to spatially and temporally particularize the abstract concept of the public through their policies related to access—to the buildings, collections, and people.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the library collection at the Scandinavian Association in Rome. Data were gathered from the library catalog and then submitted to frequency and co-occurrence analyses. By examining keywords, authors, and the language of the books found in the library, we were able to draw conclusions about its role as a social rather than an academic institution, with the additional function of helping the SAR members find their way around in the city of Rome and to its historical sites. The bibliometric analyses proved useful in analyzing the function of the library and, to some extent, the general context of the library and the association. At the same time, they cannot be said to be useful for creating cognitive maps such as those being made in analyses of scientific fields.

rendition of history” results from this emphasis on pieces of the past such as letters, antiques, quilts, and scrapbooks that occupy space in the present (158). He explains that such “historicization of private life” was a natural accompaniment to the emphasis on home and domesticity in Europe and the United States (161). In addition, he addresses the effects of westward movement in the United States on those who remained behind in the “ruin” of New England. These last two chapters bring to mind Patrick Hutton’s recent book on Philippe Ariès in which he describes the time of tradition as existential in that “it embodies lived experience as it emerges out of the past and confirms our sense of continuity with it.”2 In the conclusion to this thoughtful and well-documented book Fritzsche holds that the new way of perceiving history that followed from the French Revolution “extended to shape social discourse and cultural practices in general. . . . History was choreographed as an endless number of departures . . . the presence of absence” (202). Thus he describes history as melancholy and nostalgic. Arguing that history is predicated upon our awareness of a lack of sufficiency and permanence, Fritzsche notes that “historical mindedness disenchants before it re-enchants,” which may be difficult to accept (217). However, historians are also products of their own traditions and circumstances and so arrive at various conclusions regarding the ambiguities implicit in the historian’s enterprise. Stranded in the Present offers an insightful treatment of the modern period and the changing concept of historical time. Filled with interesting details garnered from archival research and comprehensive notes, the book would have benefited from a bibliography as well as a more inclusive index.

reprinted forty entries from several editions of the DALB. Adele M. Fasick, Julie Cummins, Blanche Woolls, and Ken Haycock are just a few of the numerous well-known librarians, editors, educators, and critics who contributed entries. Being influential, nationally or regionally known, a leader in professional associations or legislative support, an innovator or a philanthropist in support of library service to young adults were the selection criteria for inclusion. All individuals included are deceased; the lives of these ninety-seven library leaders span two centuries. The earliest entry, Hannah Packard James (1835– 1903), worked for the Sanitary Commission during the Civil War and in 1870 opened the Free Library of Newton, Massachusetts. An active member of the American Library Association, James was member number 210, a council member, and vice president from 1896 to 1898. The latest entry, Michael L. Printz (1937–96), a nationally known expert and advocate for young adult library services, spent his professional career as the librarian for the Topeka West High School, an adjunct professor, and a marketing consultant for Econo-clad Books. He died an untimely death from heart surgery complications in 1996. In 2000 the first Printz Award for excellence in young adult literature was given by the Young Adult Library Services Association in Printz’s honor. Most of the likely suspects are included on Miller’s list as well as less well known leaders and pioneers. Readers and researchers will find entries for librarians such as Mary Hill Arbuthnot (1884–1974), who is remembered for her famous and wellused textbook for children’s literature, Children and Books. Julie Corsaro writes that Ursula Nordstrom (1910–88), an editor for Harper & Brothers (later Harper & Row) for forty-three years, edited both the Caldecott and Newbery medal winners in 1957 and again in 1964. Nordstrom is also credited with discovering Maurice Sendak when he was a window display designer for F. A. O. Schwartz. A less well known librarian, Minerva Amanda Sanders (1837–1912), led the charge for an open shelf system and full library privileges for children in the 1870s in Ohio. Miller notes that no selection process is perfect. An obvious exclusion was Siddie Jo Johnson, who served as children’s librarian and Coordinator of Children’s Services for the Dallas Public Library for twenty-seven years. Johnson, a published poet and author, was the recipient of awards from the Poetry Society of Texas and the Texas Institute of Letters as well as from the American Library Association for her work in children’s library service.

从几个版本的DALB中转载了40个条目。阿黛尔·m·法西克、朱莉·康明斯、布兰奇·伍尔斯和肯·海科克只是众多知名图书馆员、编辑、教育家和评论家中的一小部分。入选的评选标准包括:具有影响力、在全国或地区享有盛名、在专业协会或立法机构获得支持的领导者、在支持图书馆为年轻人提供服务方面的创新者或慈善家。所有包括的个人均已死亡;这九十七位图书馆领导的人生跨越了两个世纪。最早的入选者是汉娜·帕卡德·詹姆斯(Hannah Packard James, 1835 - 1903)，她在南北战争期间为卫生委员会工作，1870年在马萨诸塞州牛顿市开设了自由图书馆。作为美国图书馆协会的活跃成员，詹姆斯在1896年至1898年期间担任第210号会员、理事会成员和副主席。最新入选的是Michael L. Printz(1937-96)，他是全国知名的专家，也是年轻人图书馆服务的倡导者，他的职业生涯是托皮卡西高中的图书管理员，兼任教授，以及经济型图书公司的营销顾问。1996年，他死于心脏手术并发症。2000年，青年图书馆服务协会为表彰普林茨而颁发了第一届青年成人文学杰出奖。大多数可能的嫌疑人都包括在米勒的名单上，以及不太知名的领导者和先驱。读者和研究人员可以找到玛丽·希尔·阿巴斯诺特(Mary Hill Arbuthnot, 1884-1974)等图书管理员的条目，她因出版了著名的、被广泛使用的儿童文学教科书《儿童与书籍》而被人们铭记。朱莉·科萨罗写道，厄休拉·诺德斯特伦(1910-88)在哈珀兄弟公司(后来的哈珀&罗公司)担任编辑43年，编辑了1957年和1964年的卡尔德科特奖和纽伯瑞奖得主。诺德斯特龙也被认为是莫里斯·森达克(Maurice Sendak)的创始人，当时他是F. a . O. Schwartz的橱窗设计师。一位不太知名的图书管理员，密涅瓦·阿曼达·桑德斯(1837-1912)，在19世纪70年代在俄亥俄州领导了开放式书架系统和儿童图书馆的全部特权。米勒指出，没有哪个选拔过程是完美的。一个明显的例外是Siddie Jo Johnson，她在达拉斯公共图书馆担任了27年的儿童图书管理员和儿童服务协调员。约翰逊是一位出版过作品的诗人和作家，曾因其在儿童图书馆服务方面的工作而获得德克萨斯州诗歌协会和德克萨斯州文学研究所以及美国图书馆协会的奖项。图书馆为青年服务的先锋和领导者:一本传记词典是必须购买的吗?图书馆历史学家和教育工作者会发现这个参考资源很有用，但大多数人会发现这是二次购买。封面是两个小女孩在图书馆儿童区看着笔记本电脑屏幕的照片，这有点误导人，也许这个资源会被浏览器忽略。
