Universities' Library for Central Europe

Abstract

THE Universities' Library for Central Europe (established in 1921 in co-operation with the Universities' Relief Committee) works to co-ordinate and consolidate the securing by gifts, exchange and purchase, British books, journals, etc., for students, professors, and libraries in the universities of Central Europe. During the last few weeks a box of English books (all presented) was sent to the University of Debrecen, Hungary, where there is a marked lack of English literature. Recently, too, an attempt was made to complete the files of NATURE as preserved by the Fondation Universitaire of Brussels, and a number of back numbers were collected from various friends in Great Britain. Many foreign universities also still purchase their English books through the medium of the Universities' Library for Central Europe, and during the present year consignments have been sent to Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, and Hungary. A large collection of books received recently from various donors has been listed, and the lists sent to the appropriate centre of the countries mentioned in order that their wants may be ascertained.
