(Arctic) Tremaine, Marie (editor) ARCTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY.

First edition prepared for and in cooperation with the Department of Defense, Washington, D.C., under the direction of the Arctic Institute of North America. An annotated listing of 101.599 titles, making this by far the most comprehensive bibliography of Arctic books (Besterman 4919). A 16th volume was issued in 1975 - this is not present. Field work in all disciplines and in all sections of the Arctic region are represented, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries. In selection of material, some priority has been given to narratives and scientific results written by the explorers and scientists themselves. Files of all essentially arctic journals and of major journals in various subject fields have been searched through about 1960 depending on the languate The bibliography is arranged in two sections: (1) an alphabetic register, under the author's name, of his books, papers, and contributions to works of multiple authorship; (2) a subject-geographic index to these publications. With foldout maps at the end of each volume. Library bookplate and number on spine.

Maack, Mary Niles (editor) THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND THE CENTER FOR THE BOOK: HISTORICAL ESSAYS IN HONOR OF JOHN Y. COLE.
Washington, DC Library of Congress in association with The University of Texas Press 2011 6.25 x 9.25 inches hardcover, dust jacket 224 pages
For more than 40 years, beginning in 1966 when he joined its staff as an administrative intern, John Y. Cole has sought to increase public and scholarly understanding of the key role that the Library of Congress plays in American government, scholarship, and librarianship. As both a professional librarian and a historian of the Library of Congress, he is well-qualified for the task.

In 1976, Librarian of Congress Daniel J. Boorstin chose Cole to be the chair of his year-long review of the Library's functions and activities. In 1977 he appointed Cole as the head of the new Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, a private-public partnership established by Congress to use the prestige and resources of the Library of Congress to promote books and reading. In 1987, James H. Billington, Boorstin's successor as Librarian of Congress, gave the Center for the Book new support and a challenge: stimulate the creation of a state-wide affiliate in every state.

Few individuals are recognized by essays published in their honor while they are still fully engaged in their chosen profession. John Y. Cole, Director of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, is one of those exceptions. The Library of Congress and the Center for the Book: Historical Essays Honoring John Y. Cole, has been published by the Library of Congress and the University of Texas Press at Austin. Edited by Mary Niles Maack of the University of California at Los Angeles, the volume features nine invitational essays marking Cole's dual achievements as a scholar who is "known internationally as the foremost expert on the history of the Library of Congress" and as the founding director, in 1977, of the Center for the Book.

The essays were originally published as a special issue (2010, vol. 45, no. 1) of the University of Texas quarterly journal Libraries & the Cultural Record: Exploring the History of Collections of Recorded Knowledge, also edited by Maack. This edition includes a new, illustrated essay by Cole ("A Life at the Library of Congress"), an updated bibliography of his writings 1970-2010 and a comprehensive index. The frontispiece is a poem, "Voyage," which was dedicated to John Cole in 2003 by U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins. The volume's four-color dust jacket features a photograph of the Library's Main Reading Room by noted photographer Carol M. Highsmith and reproductions of various Center for the Book posters and promotional items.

Mary Niles Maack is a Professor Emerita at UCLA, where she served for 25 years in the Department of Information Studies. From 2000 to 2005, she also worked closely with the California Center for the Book. Her research interests include gender issues, professionalization, and comparative librarianship. She has traveled widely in Africa and taught at the French national library school in Villurbanne.

Malone, Cheryl Knott, Hermina G.B. Anghelescu, and John Mark Tucker (editors) LIBRARIES AND CULTURE
Historical Essays Honoring the Legacy of Donald G. Davis Jr. Washington DC Library of Congress Center for the Book 2006 8vo. cloth, dust jacket 312 pages
This book honors Donald G. Davis, the longtime editor of Libraries & Culture. Libraries & Culture: Historical Essays Honoring the Legacy of Donald G. Davis, Jr. is a collection of essays first published as a special festschrift issue of Libraries & Culture (40:3) in summer 2005. Davis, emeritus professor in the School of Information at The University of Texas at Austin, and a distinguished library history scholar, was editor of Libraries & Culture (now Libraries & the Cultural Record) for 29 years. John Y. Cole, Center for the Book director, notes that the book is dedicated to Davis because "his leadership during the past three decades has helped shape library history into an important interdisciplinary and international field of study. His own work as an author, editor, and book reviewer has been a notable and influential part of this effort." In addition to 16 essays, the volume includes a Foreword by library historian Robert Sidney Martin, former director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services; an introduction by the editors, and an index prepared by Hermina G.B. Anghelescu. The four book plates on the back cover are from the collections of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress. Each represents an important development in the history of the Library of Congress and its specialized collections. The dust jacket, preface and index are new additions, not part of the previous publication. Distributed for the Center for the Book, Library of Congress.
