College and Research Libraries


Studies in Progress 
Mr. Frarey is assistant librarian, Duke 

University Library. Miss Reed is librarian, 
Graduate Library School, University of Chi-
cago. 

T HE FOLLOWING studies have been re-ported by librarians and library school 
directors. Although they have been reported 
to be in progress, some may have been com-
pleted since the report was made. While no 
claim is made that all studies of interest to 
college and university librarians have been 
included, an effort has been made to list those 
which appear to be of wide appeal. Because 
of space limitations, bibliographic compila-
tions, indexes to periodicals, checklists and im-
print inventories have been omitted. ·Unless 
another degree or designation is specified the 
items are all masters' theses.
