"The Business Library: What It Is and What It Does" by Louise B. Krause is an informative guidebook from the last century. It's for business people and librarians, showing how business libraries in companies should be set up, run, and what good they do. The book explains why having a library is a good thing, because it helps people find information and make decisions quickly in the business world. The beginning of the book says that a business library isn't just a bunch of books; it's a super important helper that gives workers the information they need. Krause talks about how businesses changed from getting information in a casual way to needing well-organized and reliable resources to achieve success. She talks about how business libraries began and how they've become more important for companies to keep up with the competition. The early parts of the book are all about starting a business library, what it should offer, and the different kinds of information it holds, proving that it's a valuable thing to have.
