Summary:

"As we reflect at the turn of the twenty-first century upon its first forty years, we have come to see that the Beinecke Library has stood at the heart of Yale University, as well as a summons to scholars worldwide. In this anniversary volume, we have undertaken to explore, retail and celebrate the Beinecke's first four decades, both as a center for students and researchers, and as a major destination on the Yale campus for exhibitions, academic conferences and lectures, concerts and poetry readings, research institutes and master classes - all attributes of a special space of learning and discovery at the architectural and intellectual levels."--BOOK JACKET.590
