I. Division of General Research Libraries

The Division is one of those established for types of libraries, grouping together national libraries, university and other general research libraries, and library and research services for parliament. Their professional common denominator is that they are all related in one way or other to the support and provision of research in many fields of knowledge. They also have in common the comprehensiveness and size of their collections with the ensuing problems of handling, preservation, storage and use of large stocks, and the administration of complex organizations.
