Special libraries with trained personnel can save money for business and industrial organizations, says Gretchen D. Little, president of the Special Libraries Association of America.

Miss Little, librarian for the Atlas Power Co. at Wilmington, Del., added that most business groups "just collect books and consider that a library."
