Barbarians at the Gates: A Half-Century of Unaffiliated Users in Academic Libraries.
Courtney, Nancy
Journal of Academic Librarianship, v27 n6 p473-80 Nov 2001
Examines the literature on unaffiliated users' access to academic libraries since the 1950s, when post-war population shifts, emphasis on college-preparatory work at the high school level, and an increase in the college-educated population brought greater numbers of unaffiliated users into the library. (Contains 107 references.) (AEF)
