The PRODUCTION OF LIBRARY PUBLICATIONS

I am using the word ‘publications’ in a broad sense, to cover the many bits of paper with inscriptions on them which are produced in quantity and distributed to the library's public. Most of them are book lists of one kind or another—subject lists, bibliographies, reading guides, library bulletins and the like—but there are other categories too, such as recruitment material, leaflets on the use of the library, plans of the library, annual reports, and even the miscellaneous forms used by or to the public.
