http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55992662

This collection contains biographical information, correspondence, publications, reports, and exchanges. The correspondence, with other Iowa State faculty members, relates to collecting and maintaining books for the library and with colleagues associated with him while active in library committees and the American Library Association (ALA). Dr. Brown wrote numerous papers throughout his career focusing on research libraries, libraries during the depression, rural libraries, and libraries (budgets and purposes) during World War I and World War II. Dr. Brown's papers and reports focus on college libraries, ALA activities, and the National Diet Library of Japan. The exchange files refer to a program that allowed Iowa State College (University) to exchange its research journals with other organizations, primarily foreign universities, and are listed by country. These exchange files contain correspondence regarding publication requests. A highlight of the collection is research notes complied by Edward G. Holley for his biography on Dr. Brown. Holley was Dean of the School of Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1972-1985) and president of ALA (1974-1975).
