  ANNUAL 
  REPORT 
  SMITHSONIAN 
  INSTITUTION, 
  1922. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  year 
  406 
  books 
  were 
  accessioned, 
  of 
  which 
  64 
  were 
  

   acquired 
  by 
  purchase, 
  120 
  by 
  binding 
  of 
  periodicals, 
  and 
  142 
  by 
  

   gift 
  and 
  exchange. 
  The 
  periodicals 
  currently 
  received 
  number 
  about 
  

   900, 
  of 
  which 
  33 
  are 
  received 
  by 
  subscription, 
  the 
  remainder 
  being 
  

   received 
  through 
  exchange. 
  The 
  bureau 
  has 
  also 
  received 
  159 
  

   pamphlets, 
  giving 
  at 
  the 
  close 
  of 
  the 
  year 
  a 
  working 
  library 
  of 
  

   24,561 
  volumes, 
  14,936 
  pamphlets, 
  and 
  several 
  thousand 
  unbound 
  

   periodicals. 
  

  

  In 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  regular 
  routine 
  of 
  library 
  work, 
  Miss 
  Leary 
  

   has 
  been 
  able, 
  with 
  the 
  assistance 
  of 
  Miss 
  Atkins, 
  to 
  make 
  rapid 
  

   progress 
  toward 
  the 
  completion 
  of 
  the 
  new 
  subject 
  catalogue, 
  with 
  

   the 
  result 
  that 
  about 
  18,000 
  catalogue 
  cards 
  have 
  been 
  filed 
  during 
  the 
  

   fiscal 
  year. 
  

  

  The 
  greatest 
  need 
  of 
  the 
  library 
  is 
  for 
  more 
  shelf 
  room 
  for 
  its 
  

   publications, 
  due 
  to 
  its 
  growth 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  few 
  years. 
  The 
  

   library 
  is 
  greatly 
  hampered 
  by 
  this 
  need. 
  

  

  The 
  posting 
  of 
  the 
  monthly 
  bulletin 
  of 
  new 
  publications 
  was 
  

   continued 
  throughout 
  the 
  year. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  year 
  many 
  students 
  not 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  Smithsonian 
  

   Institution 
  found 
  the 
  library 
  of 
  service 
  in 
  seeking 
  volumes 
  not 
  ob- 
  

   tainable 
  in 
  other 
  libraries 
  of 
  the 
  city. 
  The 
  library 
  was 
  used 
  also 
  by 
  

   the 
  Library 
  of 
  Congress 
  and 
  officers 
  of 
  the 
  executive 
  departments, 
  

   and 
  out-of-town 
  students 
  have 
  called 
  upon 
  the 
  library 
  for 
  loans 
  

   during 
  the 
  year. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  its 
  own 
  library 
  it 
  was 
  

   found 
  necessary 
  to 
  draw 
  on 
  the 
  Library 
  of 
  Congress 
  from 
  time 
  to 
  

   time 
  for 
  the 
  loan 
  of 
  about 
  400 
  volumes. 
  

  

  There 
  were 
  bound 
  during 
  the 
  year 
  200 
  books, 
  pamphlets, 
  and 
  serial 
  

   publications.
