Number 212 in the Occasional Papers series
Winsor, Dewey, and Putnam: The Boston Experience
By Donald G. Davis, Jr., Kenneth E. Carpenter, Wayne A. Wiegand, and Jane
Aikin

The latest volume in the Occasional Paper series collects the papers from
the Round Table on Library History session at the 67th Council and General
Conference of the International Federation of Library Associations and
Institutions (IFLA) held in Boston, Massachusetts from August 16–25, 2001.
Donald G. Davis, Jr., introduces the articles about "The Boston Years" of
early professional leaders Justin Winsor, Melvil Dewey, and Herbert
Putnam, written by Kenneth E. Carpenter, Wayne A. Wiegand, and Jane Aikin,
respectively. Davis writes, "Together these three figures with Boston
connections symbolize the enthusiasm, the energy, and the foresight that
characterized the fledgling profession of librarianship in the years
spanning 1900. Their Boston experience links these three with various
types of libraries and themes in American library history" (p. 3).
