24 x 16 cm. Heft. 16 S. Mit signierter Widmung des Verfassers mit Tinte auf dem Vorderdeckel. // Reprinted from Library Journal of June 15, 1946, Number 12 // "Reuben Peiss took his B.S. at Trinity College in 1933 and an M.A. at Harvard in 1934. After three years of junior college teaching in Hartford, Conn., he spent a year at the University of Michigan Library School, receiving the A.B.L.S. in 1938. From 1938 to 1943 he was a member of the staff of the Harvard College Library. In 1943 he went abroad as representative of the Interdepartmental Committee for the Acquisition of Foreign Publications. On this assignment he spent fourteen months in Lisbon, nearly an year in Switzerland, and short periods in Spain, England, France, and Germany. On September 16, 1945 Mr. Peiss became the principal representative of the Library of Congress in Europe. Most of his time since then has been spent in Germany as chief of the Library of Congress Mission.[.] When war broken out in Europe in September 1939, it was clear to American libraries that special provisions would have to be made to insure acquisition of European publications. For this purpose the Joint Committee on Importations was created.[.] Copies of important periodical titles from foreign countries were also supplied to American libraries on microfilm through the enterprise of Eugene Power of Microfilms, Inc. The Library of Congress, in the meantime, had made certain adjustments in its normal acquisitions practices, such as issuing the so-called "blanket" orders to carefully chosen dealers, had intensified its efforts to obtain publications through other agencies of the federal government, and had begun to concentrate on Switzerland and Portugal as purchasing centers for all western European Publications.[.] The attack at Pearl Harbour, carrying in its wake war with the European Axis, caught America unprepared in all sorts of ways. We awoke to find that, among the implements of war we lacked, not the least was printed information about enemy countries and other strategie parts of the globe. The intense effort of planning and carrying on a total war, the proliferation of agencies necessarily involved in planning and analysis - these placed a heavy burden on library facilities. In addition to strengthening its acquisitions efforts progressively, the Library of Congress created the War Agencies Collection to service strategic materials.[.]" /// Durchgehend gebräunt.
