SOME NOTES ON STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION OF GERMAN UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES

The following paper is based on personal visits made to the learned libraries of the Land Nordrhein‐Westfalen in November and December 1960. My thanks are due to the Kultusminister whose invitation made possible these visits, to Professor K. H. Rengstorf of the University of Münster who suggested the invitation and gave me the utmost assistance, and to the University of Leeds for granting me leave of absence. I would also like to thank the heads of the Universities of Münster, Cologne, Bonn, and Aachen for their generous hospitality and help, and in particular the librarians and staff of the libraries for their friendly reception and for time so willingly given to answering my questions.
