The remainder of a former gift from the New York Botanical 
Garden, filling about twelve shelves, was prepared for use. 
All hand-written catalog cards without call numbers have been 
withdrawn from the dictionary catalog. These were forwarded 
to us by the Brooklyn Museum Library at the time their botan- 
ical collection was transferred to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. 
Typewritten cards have taken their place. 
The nucleus of a good collection of college catalogs is now on 
the shelves, 
The library was represented by the librarian at the meetings of 
the N. J. Library Association and Penn. Library Club; the 
American Library Association; the New York Library Club, and 
the New York Special Library Association.

We shall try to complete the serial shelf list. 
Completed sets of periodicals and old and shabby books should 
be bound at the first possible opportunity. 
The pamphlet catalog, consisting of cards 512.5 cm, 
should be rewritten on cards 7.5 X 12.5 cm., so that they may be 
filed in our dictionary catalog. This would eliminate having two 
catalogs in which to look for entries. As, eventually, we hope to 
have these pamphlets arranged according to subjects and shelved 
with the books on the same subjects, it would be an advantage to 
have all cards in one catalog.
