Columbia University, for in- stance, found that 53 percent of its older ·classics, medieval, and renaissance his- tory collections are unusable by the defi- nition employed for the three surveys discussed here.21 Of national interest is the fact that some of the college library Class 3 materials appear not to be widely held, even by research libraries.	cache/crl-14810.pdf	txt/crl-14810.txt
