Summary: Within the framework of general systems theory, a variety of disciplines are brought to bear upon changing patterns of librarianship, and Professor Kemp shows the contribution these disciplines can make to an improved understanding of the library as a social instrumentality. In short, the thesis of the book lies close to the center of that area of inquiry which can be called "social epistemology," the growth and dissemination of knowledge throughout a culture and the place of the library in the communication system of the culture.
