History of a Library Unit And the Evolution of Its Culture from the Eyes of Two Participants: Holland Reference Services from the 'Merger' (1977) to the 'New Organization' (1997)

摘要

The authors explore the roots of Holland Library Public Services in two original divisional libraries, the Humanities Library and the Social Sciences Library, and chronicles its evolution through the "merger" (1978-82), the Kemp years (1983-89), the New Library planning and construction phase (1989-94), and a modern phase (1995-present). The modern phase includes a discussion of the influences of a library reorganization. Specific aspects of Holland Library Public Services culture are detailed and discussed; conclusions are drawn.
