rapid change gives pause for reflection. Expansion and planning,
with wide variation in the modification of each by the other,
may be said to characterize these recent years. The sudden expansion
of research activity in the social sciences and related fields, quickened
by the World War debacle, created a heavy demand for the necessary
raw materials. Since economic and social planning were the crux of
the new viewpoint in research, scholars called for every kind of published
or unpublished material bearing upon human relationships, and
those librarians in closer contact with this research took up the challenge
to accomplish the impossible. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
