Abstract
Focus on the science collections.
Annotation
Author concludes that from a humble beginning the science collections grew and by 1901, the departmental libraries in law, medicine, chemistry, pharmacy, biology, and geology were constantly used. The departmental science libraries would developed into pre-eminent collections supporting modern scientific research and education in the natural and physical sciences.
