    COMMENTS: The Nietz Old Textbook Collection is one of several well-known collections of 19th Century schoolbooks in the United States. Among the 16,000 volumes are many titles that are rarely held and have not yet been reproduced in microform collections or reprint editions. The collection is used by Pitt faculty and students as well as visiting scholars from other colleges and universities. The ULS received two U.S. Higher Education Act Title IIC grants (1985-1987) to catalog the original collection.

    The DRL is offering the current demonstration project (30 volumes) to gauge interest in bringing the project into full production and to gather feedback from potential user groups to guide the design of the final product.
