dc.description.abstractStudies in Comparative Librarianship presents three essays awarded in the 1971 Sevensma Prize competition, authored by A.D. Burnett, R.K. Gupta, and S. Šimšová. Published in 1973 on behalf of IFLA by the Library Association, the volume explores the complexities of comparing library services across different national and cultural contexts. The authors examine methodological challenges such as data collection, interpretation, and the influence of social, political, and economic environments on libraries. Through critical reflection, the essays highlight the potential of comparative studies to foster international understanding while acknowledging the limits imposed by subjective perspectives, incomplete data, and institutional variability. The collection serves both as a scholarly contribution and a foundational resource for future research in comparative librarianship.
