hraries and archives are listed under the original name with address, the name of the chief officer, and library hours.The information about photocopying is given where such facilities exist.The method of individual library description is historical with the current status of holdings.A pertinent bibliography is also supplied.This work will be useful to the student of international and comparative librarianship as well as to visiting librarians and scholars in Yugoslavia.Those users not familiar with the Yugoslav languages may find this work difficult to use because of the retention of the original terms.Thus, it would have been better to use: Zagreb.National and University Library; or, Beograd.Serbian Patriarchate.I. Library.II.Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church.These English equivalents could have been inserted parenthetically, both in the titles and in the text.The glossary without this suggestion, however useful, is inadequate.Here and there one encounters ordinary misspellings and other inconsistencies: e.g., Pravoslavna akademija, p.43; cf.esnab, p.x and esnaf, p.84.The indiscriminate use of the word "fonds" for the English "holdings or stock" is inexcusable.It must be pointed out that these shortcomings in no way detract from the value of this addition to the library science collections.-
