TRAINING FOR LIBRARIANSHIP

training section, college and reference sec-
tion, and trustees' section. Reports of the
round tables of religious and theological
libraries, hospital libraries, lending depart-
ments, public documents and training class
teachers are also reported in the Bulletin.
Reference to the three leading library-
journals The Library Journal, Public
Libraries, and Special Libraries—will also
be found helpful. These journals contain
articles descriptive of practice and develop-
ments among libraries, and their regular
perusal is advisable for the librarian as well
as for the student in training. The library-
commissions of some of the states, notably
Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, Vermont, and Wisconsin, issue
bulletins which appear regularly and which
contain interesting information about library
work within these states. Reference to the
annual reports of the larger public libraries
will aid in giving an idea of their activities
and the scope of the work. Some special
libraries, like the Russell Sage Foundation
library and the Engineering Societies'
library, issue annual reports.
