- The Undergraduate Library at United States and Canadian Universities: A Bibliographic Review. Person, Roland C. College Libraries Educational History Higher Education Library Facilities Library Planning Library Services Undergraduate Students This bibliographic review of the literature on American and Canadian university undergraduate libraries was adapted from a PhD dissertation completed at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1982. Included are books, dissertations, and journal articles which treat the undergraduate library as a whole, rather than looking at only one aspect of such a library's operations. The essay is divided into four sections dealing with: (1) works which present the origin and development of the undergraduate library as a concept and provide definitions of the term; (2) literature which reflects the philosophy and rationale for establishing undergraduate libraries; (3) publications which describe currently and formerly existing undergraduate libraries at 27 institutions, arranged in chronological order by library founding date; and (4) studies which evaluate and compare undergraduate libraries. The review concludes with a brief summary of trends in the literature. (Author/ESR)
