Abstract:
The results of a review of history literature on public library in the United States show that the investigation and research of public library situation dominates the history literature and two reports with historical significance were published in the middle and late 19th century. Great efforts are spent to interpret the origin and development agents of public library movement by examining social,economical,and cultural background. Research interests can also be found in specific history especially that of Carnegie libraries and individual libraries,with little interest in general history. In the field of public library biography,there have been many outstanding researches with theoretical value and practical importance. Research of public library services is also one of the main research fields with focuses on community service,youth service,adult service and wartime service. 58 refs.
