Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifty-Sixth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology: 1938-1939
The library continued under the direction of Miss Miriam B. Ketchum, librarian. Accessions during the year totaled 223.
The exchange list has been completely revised and brought up to date, and seven new exchange sets have been added.
The rare book section was finished early in the fiscal year, and the rarest items and many others of importance have been shelved in it. More than half of these books have been recataloged and classified and permanently labeled and shelved.
All the publications of North American societies and institutions have been sorted and all matter not in the field of the Bureau dis carded as far as possible.
The librarian attended the meetings of the inter-american Bibliographical and Historical Society at Washington, D. C., in February, and the Special Libraries Association at Baltimore in May.
The usual routine work of accessioning and cataloging new mate rial and entering new periodicals received has been kept up to date.
