Just in time for the centennial year of the Texas Library Association, Eakin Press in Austin has published two reference works dealing with the history of libraries in Texas--A Bibliography and A Chronology of Texas Library History: 1685-2000. Edited by Professor Don Davis, and assisted by School of Information students Deon Dempsey and Jon Aho, these bound volumes augment and update work begun by deceased School of Information alumnus Aubrey E. Skinner two decades ago. Consisting of 178 and 214 pages respectively, the complementary works are comprehensive and include thorough indexes that enhance their usefulness for research. They are featured at the 2002 Texas Book Festival and sell for $57.95 as a set with all royalties assigned to School of Information.
