"""No book should be out of reach"": The role of the American Library Association in the sharing of Resources for Research, 1922-1945"

This dissertation provides (1) an historical overview of interlibrary cooperation in the U.S. between 1876 and 1945, and an exploration of its various aspects and their interrelationships; (2) an assessment of the American Library Association's role in projects for sharing of resources for research from 1922 to 1945; and (3) an analysis of the major issues raised through the Association by the concept of sharing of resources. While the literature on interlibrary cooperation is extensive, the development of resource sharing projects for research library materials in the U.S. has never been traced in detail; and while the role of the American Library Association has been accepted, it has never been described.
