For catalog cards and all other records use a non-copying black, permanent ink. Carter's record ink is good. It has been adopted by the state of Massachusetts for all official records.
The selection of books should be left to the librarian, under the general direction of trustees or book committee.
To the librarian himself one may say: Be punctual; be attentive; help develop enthusiasm in your assistants; be neat and consistent in your manner. Be careful in your contracts; be square with your board; be concise and technical; be accurate; be courageous and self-reliant; be careful about acknowledgments; be not worshipful of your work; be careful of your health. Last of all, be yourself.
