THE LIBRARY QUARTERLY

edition. There are occasional descriptions, for instance, that appear to have been prepared by incumbents and not carefully edited. An exam- ple is that of assistant chief, P-6, of the Music Division, where the duties include being presi- dent of the Music Library Association from I941 to I946-a difficult duty for an incumbent to perform after I946! Since the SP service no longer exists, it is probably not pertinent to complain that about 35 per cent of the repre- sentative SP positions described list library school as a requirement. This reviewer goes along with the opinion that there is no such thing as a subprofessional grade; admitting that there is, the requirement of a library-school degree seems hard to justify. It is likely that such errors as need correcting have been cor- rected by now, for the work was issued in loose-

leaf form for the easy insertion of changes and new materials. Important changes since publi- cation would include the new basic pay rates and the new GS grade showing how the old grades have been absorbed.

This is an outstanding contribution to the growing body of literature dealing with person- nel work in libraries. It is more than that: It is a fascinating account of the many phases of li- brary work and, as such, gives one of the most graphic accounts obtainable of the work, re- sponsibilities, and opportunities in the library profession. The Library of Congress can be proud of this picture of the nation's largest li- brary in action; the rest of us can be grateful.

ERRATUM

The review of Ergebnisse und Fortschritte der Bibliographie in Deutschland seit dem ersten Weltkrieg, which appeared on pages 67-68 of the January, I950, issue of the Library Quarterly,

was wrongly attributed to Lawrence S. Thomp- son. It was written by Robert Swanton of the Dartmouth CoUege Library. The editors extend apologies to both.
