Don Davis Writes on Libraries for Major Encyclopedia
The five-volume Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History made its debut at
the January 2005 American Library Association's Midwinter Conference in
Boston. Edited by William H. McNeill, a leading scholar in the revival of
world history, the work includes some 538 signed articles by 330
multidisciplinary and international contributors. Donald G. Davis, Jr.,
Professor at the School of Information, contributed the ten-page article on
"Libraries" to this distinguished work. A recent assessment in Booklist (an
ALA reviewing medium) says, "A masterful title that weaves together the
social, scientific, anthropological, and geographic influences on world
history, this set will be the benchmark against which future history
encyclopedias are compared."
