Chapter VI. Local arrangement, and its appliances. In several respects, this Scheme will be found a useful model. In others, the study of it will suggest important points for consideration and comparison. One other Scheme, less extensive and elaborate,—because belonging to a Library on a much smaller scale, and as yet but six years old,-will be sufficiently illustrated by the plate which faces this page. But it may be useful to add that in the last-named instance each press has a printed synoptical tablet of its contents which, in practice, has been found greatly to facilitate the daily work. The best mode of affixing such tablets is to provide a space for them in the upright wood-work of the cases. If so placed, and varnished, they will endure for as long a period as it is needful to provide for. The following is a reduced specimen of such a tablet: Catalogue of the Library of the London Institution, vol. i, ut supra. |
