WHEN IN DOUBT GO TO LIBRARIAN That's Attitude of Readers, Variety of Questions Asked at Indianapolis Business Branch Shows,

“Say, can you find me a picture of chickens eating?” "I want to know the effect of the World War on economical conditions in the United States.” "Can you refer me to a book containing the history of Wall Street?" Questions more puzzling than an income tax questionnaire ore hurled daily at Miss Ethel Cleland, li brarian of the Indianapolis Business Branch Library, on the first floor of the school administration building, Ohio and Meridian Sts. And Miss Cleland, or her assistant. Miss Dena Babcock, assistant 11 l.ranan, is able to answer almost all of them by referring to books, magazines, pamphlets or clippings on file.

This does not include directories of forty principal cities in the United States: telephone directories of 400 cities, numerous trade papers, hundreds of magazines, a file of 15.000 pictures, and hundreds of pamphlets and clippings. In June. 1919. out of the total number of business books, pamphlets and clippings loaned, the books constituted more than 90 per cent and the pamphlets and clippings only 9 per cent. Four and one-half years later, in January. 1924, a similar examination shows that books made 55 per cent and pamphlets 45 per cent circulation. This proves that books alone do not suffice the demand. Cost Small When the library opened Feb. 1. 1918, four months after the removal of the Central library to its present site on St. Clair St.,. between Pennsylvania and Meridian Sts., it inherited practically all Its furniture and equipment from the old library. Thus, with the purchase of a few additional necessities, the library j from the beginning was able to I operate at little cost. The Indianapolis business library ranks as one of the best and largest in the country. Libraries . operated primarily for giving infor- ; mation along business lines have developed only during the past fifteen ! years.
