(USBE), which serves as a centralized clearinghouse set up in 1948 by several American library and scholarly associations and the Library of Congress, receives, processes, and redistributes surplus and duplicate publications. During the first half of its operating life, USBE concentrated on the distribution of American publications to libraries outside the United States which had lost their collections during the war or were developing a library system for the first time. After 1963, the emphasis shifted to monitoring resource sharing within the United States.
