Research Libraries Public Libraries Foreign Countries Library Materials Librarians Career Change Career Education Academic Libraries Library Administration Investigations Conflict Change Agents Organizational Effectiveness Organizational Climate Organizational Culture In 1956-57 John Metcalfe was seconded from the Public Library of New South Wales to the University of Sydney to report on the needs of the University Library. This is a forgotten chapter in that Library's history, and a hitherto unexamined aspect of Metcalfe's career. Metcalfe was apparently manoeuvering to leave the Public Library, and expected to become the next university librarian, but his motives remain unclear. (Contains 22 notes.) |
