Abstract
THE Sheffield City Libraries have issued as Research Bulletin No. 7 a select bibliography on management and labour. This covers approximately the period 1932-42, the periodical references being, however, limited mainly to periodicals which are available in the Commercial and Science and Technology Libraries at Sheffield. Books not easily consulted or obtained have also been excluded, but some older classic books have been included, such as F. W. Taylor's “The Principles of Scientific Management”. These limitations somewhat diminish the value of an otherwise excellent compilation, for there are a number of excellent modern books such as T. N. Whitehead's “Leadership in a Free Society”, C. I. Barnard's “The Functions of the Executive”, F. J. Roethlisberger's “Management and Morale” which cannot be excluded on these grounds, and the omission of reference to any of the works describing the important investigations initiated by Elton-Mayo at the Western Electric Co. is a serious defect. References to readily accessible pamphlet literature, especially that issued in Great Britain during the War, are also incomplete. Owing to the paper shortage, copies cannot be supplied to individual students, but are available to firms and research organizations on official application, with which 3d. should be enclosed to cover postage.
