Eds. Dick Raspa and Dana Ward. Chicago: ACRL, 2000. 1-18.

In the late nineteenth century, the college librarian was, “…usually a member of the teaching faculty upon whom fell the added responsibility of caring for the library, [and whose duties] were largely custodial. He carried the key to the room where the books were kept and saw to it that the room was tightly locked except during the few periods of the week when students were permitted to use the books.” Lyle, Guy R. The Administration of the College Library, 4th ed. New York: H.W. Wilson, 1974, 2.
