This volume is concerned with Greek academic librarianship. It points out past experiences, current activities and future prospects for such varied subjects as automation, collection development, departmental libraries, education for librarianship, interlibrary loan and library management.

Librarians, education specialists, and students interested in international librarianship and education, and especially those who have an interest in the situation in Greece, will find accounts of the views and understanding of professionals who have recently been on the scene. Library science faculties, teaching library history, international librarianship, or how library theory and practice is applied in a foreign setting, should also find this useful. "Academic Libraries in Greece" addresses important issues in Greek academic librarianship such as: how did the modern Greek library develop and how does it operate?; what are its specific automation needs and how can they be met?; what is the current status of automation and what are the prospects for the future?; how can new needs be met under the present system and what are the prospects for change?; the history and current efforts of library training, and the value of foreign exchange programmes; and an in-depth analysis of a departmental library in Greece.
