Series identifierMON344Series titleUniversity Librarian - Order booksSeries description31 bound and four unbound volumes of order books from the Main Library, collected during the period 1960-1969. The bound order books contain details about publications purchased by the Library. They reveal the author and title of the publication, as well as the address of where the order was sent. The majority of the order books contain approximately 500 individual yellow order sheets but for some months during the years 1962-63 there are duplicate copies of the order sheets which are on pink paper and have been bound separately. Some order sheets have been annotated with dates (of when the individual publications arrived at the Library) while other sheets have what appears to be accession numbers written beside individual publication orders.
The four unbound order books document items that are not concerned with publications. These order books contain details about the purchase of library equipment, dust coats, shelving etc.Date range1960 - 1969Series typeUniversity SeriesLinear metreage2.88Extent (boxes)35Format, size, conditionbound order books, (four unbound)KeywordsClaytonExecutive Service
