*What were his terms? If this line is to be included, Carnegie's terms should be listd. Otherwise, it's a needless line. Ghostalker (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 05:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Important topic

message: The system in the UK was similar to that in the USA, but slightly different. I don't know if it would be better to have separate articles for the different countries.

thread_title: UK Examples

message: I recently translated this article into Japanese, and noticed a statement being seemingly contradictory. The leading section of this article states:
:Of the 2,509 such libraries funded between 1883 and 1929, 1,689 were built in the United States, 660 in Britain and Ireland, 125 in Canada, and others in Australia, New Zealand, Serbia, the Caribbean, and Fiji. Very few towns that requested a grant and agreed to his terms were refused. When the last grant was made in 1919, there were 3,500 libraries in the United States, nearly half of them built with construction grants paid by Carnegie.
In which year did the library grants actually end, 1919 or 1929? --Occhanikov (talk) 14:14, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: 1919 may be correct for the USA, but there were grants in the 1920s for libraries in the UK.--Alan (talk) 14:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I totally overlooked it. --Occhanikov (talk) 16:12, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Carnegie did not invent open stacks, he wasn't a librarian and this misrepresents his involvement in the field.
"Self-service stacks" This whole section needs sources. 
As just one example you could see: Hanson, Carl A. “Access and Utility: John Cotton Dana and the Antecedents of Information Science, 1889-1929.” Libraries & Culture, vol. 29, no. 2, 1994, pp. 186–204. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/25542633. Accessed 21 June 2023.
"Various small public libraries had allowed stack access throughout
much of the nineteenth century, but it was not until the 1890s that larger
institutions permitted visitors to peruse books on shelves. Those who argued against access feared that users would steal books or leave them in
disarray. The key breakthrough came in 1890 when William Howard
Brett, the progressive director of the Cleveland Public Library, opened the
stacks to public access. " 
Cleveland didn't become a Carnegie Library until 20 years later in 1910. The two are unrelated. I'm not sure what point the writer is trying to prove here about the connection between Carnegie libraries and open stacks, but it's not accurate yet and needs sources.
