Carnegie Libraries of California - Late in his life, the
philanthropist Andrew Carnegie began to donate millions of dollars to fund
literally thousands of libraries around the United States and other parts of
the English speaking world. Many of the libraries are still in use across the
country, some still as libraries and others serving as cultural and
neighborhood centers. This first site is the product of Lucy Kortum and Pat
and Bernie Skehan, all of whom share a great fondness and interest in the
Carnegie library buildings contained within California. On the site, visitors
will find information about all of the extant and demolished Carnegie
libraries, including historical photographs and a brief discussion about each
building's history. This archive of libraries is also searchable by city,
area, region, style of architecture, and by current use. An extended essay by
Abigal A. Van Slyck located here discusses the innovative nature of the
Carnegie library layout and general design. The second site
Andrew Carnegie and
Philanthropy Towards Libraries is an essay by Michael Lorenzen, a
librarian at Michigan State University, about the reasons behind Andrew
Carnegie's sponsorship of libraries around the United States, which is a nice
complement to the site on the Carnegie Libraries of California.

Librarian Resources
-
BookFinder - A
site that searches used and out of print online bookstores. Arranged by
category (Arts and Music, Biography, etc.), these top-10 lists are useful
for both private collectors and librarians. While the lists are not perfect
(we identified one in-print title), it is still useful for deciding whether
to weed a title or try to replace it from out-of-print dealers.
-
