{"title":"Unexpected Connections: New Jersey Manuscripts in the Rutgers and Princeton Libraries","authors":"Fernanda H. Perrone","doi":"10.14713/JRUL.V55I2.1728","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14713/JRUL.V55I2.1728","url":null,"abstract":"The development of the manuscript collections of Princeton and Rutgers reflects the differing histories of the two universities. Princeton developed a research collection partially based on the areas of academic strengths of its university departments, augmented by the gifts of alumni, private collectors, and purchases. In contrast, Rutgers, as the state university, developed a strong regional collection. Princeton acquired New Jersey materials as well, in many cases through faculty and alumni or by virtue of its location, rather than through conscious effort. Although the New Jersey materials at Princeton are not as well known or as frequently used as other parts of the collection, they include valuable materials, some of which are complementary to collections at Rutgers which are heavily used by research scholars, students, local historians, and genealogists. The reasons why Princeton and Rutgers acquired these collections can be understood by looking at the history of the collecting policies of the two institutions. In the early 1890s, Princeton University acquired its first manuscripts, which were related to the history of the university. The transformation of the College of New Jersey, as Princeton was originally named, into Princeton University in 1896 provided the impetus to collect materials which would support the university's academic programs. During the period 1890 to 1940, Princeton's library collected mainly in the areas of classical, medieval, and Near Eastern manuscripts, highlighted by the gifts of Robert Garrett in the 1930s. The emphasis shifted toward American history when Julian Boyd was appointed university librarian in 1940. Boyd had been director of the New York State Historical Society and librarian of the Pennsylvania Historical Society before coming to Princeton. As university librarian, he collected extensively in the area of eighteenth-century American history, English and","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124319908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Mabel Smith Douglass Library","authors":"Françoise S. Puniello","doi":"10.14713/JRUL.V54I2.1722","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14713/JRUL.V54I2.1722","url":null,"abstract":"In its 74-year existence, the Mabel Smith Douglass Library's various buildings and services have reflected society's definition of the library's role in the educational community and the library's response as the role changed. Some of the changes reflect transformations, such as coeducation, access to education for more of the working class or the decline of smoking; but predominately changes have been a response to the geometric growth of information technology and changes in teaching methodology. The library was founded in 1918 to serve Douglass College, then the New Jersey College for Women (N.J.C.). At first it had only a few books on loan from the Rutgers University Library which were placed on the Registrar's desk. As the collection grew, books moved to the top of cabinets and in 1919 to a closet in College Hall. Soon two closets were needed. By 1923 the library was housed in two small study rooms, a stack room and a browsing room on the lower floor of the dean's residence. In 1924 the library was relocated to the top floor of College Hall. This soon was inadequate and in 1926 a wing of Recitation Hall was converted into temporary quarters. The library had open shelves, not a common practice at the time, giving students direct access to books and requiring fewer staff. There was a circulation desk, a reference and reading room, as well as reference, catalog and order departments. By 1930 the library had again outgrown its space. The 1674 volumes and 8 periodicals owned in 1924 grew to 35,000 volumes and 190 journals by 1930. This overcrowding started an intense campaign for an adequate library which would not see fruition until the first phase of the present building was dedicated on April 13, 1961. The campaign for a new library can be traced through editorials and articles in the college paper. An editorial in the Campus News of November 6, 1931, entitled \"The Need for a Library,\" points out that the New Jersey College for Women is modern and progressive, that it is among the few colleges to present readings for honors, and adds that in order to","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125278971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
