ABSTRACT
Edmund Lester Pearson was one of the earliest practitioners of disjunctive librarianship. While the Library Miscellany is unquestionably the least known of all library periodicals, The Librarian’s Record is certainly by far the least familiar and most neglected American library periodical. The known issues of The Librarian’s Record contained many valuable contributions to the literature. In resuming publication of The Librarian's Record the new editors have brought back to American librarianship an element of respectability and gentility that has been lacking for too long. The effort to reconstruct, from what little is known, the contents of the as yet unlocated issues of The Librarian’s Record deserves special commendation. The revival of “The Poet’s Corner” as the only regular feature in any American library periodical devoted to serious poetry about libraries fills a long-felt need.
