The book stems from Graham’s dissertation at the University of Alabama, w hich w on four other awards, including the Association o f Library and Information Science Education’s Eugene Garfield Dissertation Award and the Phyllis Dain Library History Dissertation Award, given by ALA’s Library History Round Table. Graham used pri­ mary source material, including records of public library boards, to examine public library segrega­ tion from its origins in the late 19th century through its end during the 1960s civil rights movement.

The goal is to enable information seekers to search easily and simultaneously across a large num­ ber of the library e-resources they need and, at the end of the search process, to present them both highly understandable and useful search results.
