First Published in 1994. This book focuses on the historical development of the library as an institution. Its contents assume no single theoretical foundation or philosophical perspective but instead reflect the richly diverse opinions of its many contributors. This text is intended to serve as a reference tool for undergraduate and graduate students interested in library history, for library school educators whose teaching requires knowledge of the historical development of library institutions, services, and user groups, and for practicing library professionals.
The late medieval manuscript's opening page was often ornamentally magnificent; however, this approach of announcing a text was not to be the title-page model for the printed book. The introduction of the printing press created the opportunity for a new way to open a book - a page devoted to its title and its producer. Several stages of the title-page's development are described in detail here, with illustrations from The British Library: the blank page, the label-title, the label-title-plus-woodcut and/or printer's mark, and the decorative border. This is the first book dealing with the early development of the title-page since A.W. Pollard's Last Words on the subject, published in 1891. Co-published with The British Library.
