The purpose of the Library Literature collection is to document what is actually going on in libraries and related organisations of interest to users of the Thomas Parry Library. In this it is closely related to the Press-Cutting Collection. The collection consists of a wide range of documents produced by the libraries and organisations themselves about their own work and structure.
Annual reports are a particularly important element.
Each library or organisation represented in the collection is recorded in the catalogue. This merely records that there is material from a given body in the collection, and it what group it is to be found. To discover what individual documents are present the reader has to go to the shelf. The page is maintained by Jackie Knowles on behalf of the Thomas Parry Library .
