‘In the aftermath of the Second World War, Australian publishing was still very small in a country of less than seven million people struggling to recover from the discouraging years of the Depression and the war. As outlined in the previous case -study, librarians from the US Information Service Library in Sydney helped achieve better Australian books for children. Their concern resulted in a meeting in Sydney in 1945 which resolved to establish an annual Children's Book Week as well as an annual award for the best children's book.’(Introduction 293)

1 6 y separately published work icon Australian Children's Books : A Bibliography : Volume One 1788-1972 Marcie Muir , Carlton : Melbourne University Press , 1992 Z368810 1992 single work bibliography While it covers the same period (1788-1972) as Muir's two-volume bibliography, published in 1970 and 1976, this work is described by the author as 'not just an updated edition' of the earlier work. It involved an 'integration and revision' of the two original volumes as well as the incorporation of new material. Muir worked in close co-operation with Kerry White, author of the companion volume, Australian Children's Books : A Bibliography : Volume Two 1973-1988, ensuring a 'common process of arrangement, description, and so on' and a uniformity of 'standards, methods and definitions.
