Abstract

The Stechert-Hafner Book News of October 1953 recommends the Zentralblatt für Bibliothekswesen as the best East German periodical devoted to librarianship and bibliography. Book News says that "although the ZfB occasionally publishes articles reflecting Communist viewpoints, it still maintains the highest standards of scholarship, and the articles on library administration and bibliography are equalled in quality by only three or four other journals in the world. The checklist of current bibliographies and library literature are particularly useful."
