| Abstract: | Purpose – Aims to look at the post-war problems of continental libraries. Design/methodology/approach – Presents the author's own experiences and memories of lost literature in the war years. Findings – In many countries the whole network of libraries was built up afresh – almost from nothing – with shortage of paper, of books, of library equipment, of building accommodation and library staff. Originality/value – The author stresses the importance of the resumption of the activities of international librarian organizations to facilitate the exchange of ideas, the discussion of various questions, and the re-establishment of pre-war services such as interlibrary loans, photographic services, exchange of publications, etc. |
