I feel "research libraries" are really a subset of "private libraries." Grika Ⓣ 16:56, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious - why do you think that? I have used a number of research libraries that were part of public institutions. Rlitwin 21:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I need to know what you are referring to as a public institution. But on the surface, it sounds to me like what you are calling a research library is perhaps more accurately described as a reference library? Grika Ⓣ 14:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, research libraries are usually part of research institutes that are part of large universities, which can be public or private. I imagine there can be research libraries belonging to private individuals, but it seems to me they are usually part of research institutes of one type or another, which are just as often public (UC Berkeley) as private (Stanford). Furthermore, and for this reason I think the article needs to be rewritten, within the library world, "Research Library" usually refers to any large university library. See Association of Research Libraries. Furthermore, see Library#Some famous libraries (which I am not responsible for). Rlitwin 14:45, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, not everything in Category:Research libraries is a private library. Rlitwin 14:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Grika, I think at this point the issue should be clarified enough that you can remove your request for a merge. Rlitwin 15:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing the merge request. You can put it back if you are still interested. Rlitwin 15:53, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the example adds necessary perspective. More can be added, and I propose to restore Berkeley and add some others to show additional types. DGG 08:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was little information here, so I have merged it with the information in Library and created a new section. When material has been built up, then it can be split out back into a stand alone page, leaving behind a summary, and a link to this page, per WP:Summary style.

It will be good to develop a list of existing research libraries as a Wikipedia article. Lbeaumont (talk) 11:35, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
