The joy of backlogs

Abstract

In all the voluminous literature on librarianship, one topic has been almost entirely ignored, although it is a major feature in most libraries and the most conspicuous one in many. This topic is library backlogs, which have been so much accepted as a fact of life that no‐one bothers to write about them. It is therefore reassuring to learn that serious interest is being shown at last.
