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.
