After moving from Minneapolis, MN to White Plains, NY, H.W. Wilson began publishing an in-house newsletter, Wilson Bulletin (1914). This evolved into the widely circulated professional journal, Wilson Library Bulletin, in 1934. For the next six decades, up to 1995, WLB covered the library profession, from profiles on specific libraries, to biographies of key professionals, to series of topics of importance in the field of librarianship. The entire content of WLB is included in Wilson's Library Literature, Readers Guide, and Education databases, along with Wilson OmniFile.

We've combed the archives and selected some articles which display a cross-section of Wilson Library Bulletin over the years.
