Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Photostat in Reference Work
Why should a library maintain such a photographic service? After all it is merely an important auxiliary to our reference service. The increasing use of photostat reproductions is due to a growing realization of its unlimited possibilities in reference work, in making the resources of a great library more accessible in convenient and usable form, and at comparatively small cost.
