Excerpt from A List of Serials in Public Libraries of Chicago and Evanston: Corrected to January, 1901 At its meeting on November 5th, 1896, the Chicago Library Club voted to undertake the compilation of a union list of periodicals in the public libraries of Chicago and Evanston, and subsequently a committee was appointed to edit the work, in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Club. Eighteen libraries, which were thought to possess periodical material useful to scholars, and to be willing to make the same available for their use, were asked to furnish lists of their holdings, and all but three agreed to do so. The Committee greatly regret that the Chicago Historical Society could not, and that the Chicago Law Institute apparently did not care to, join in the work, as they recognize that the value of the compilation is appreciably lessened by the absence of the many historical and legal serials possessed by these two libraries. The determination of the mom of the undertaking, the decision of the many questions of form and other details, and the obtaining of the first lists from the libraries, required much more time than had been anticipated, so that it was not until the spring of 1898 that the work of consolidation and revision could be begun. In the first work of consolidation the Committee had the assistance of some forty members and friends of the Club, whose names are recorded on a later page, and to whom the Club is indebted for much earnest and faithful work. In this connection it should be said that nearly all the work done by the Committee and its assistants has been done by busy people outside of their regular working hours.
