Overview and metadata sections
Charles Haynes McMullen was a librarian who published American Libraries before 1876 (2000), the culmination of his life's studies. He taught at the Indiana University Library School from 1951 to 1972 and was an Emeritus Professor of Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1972 to 1985. He was also head librarian at what is now James Madison University. McMullen received his B.A. from Centre College of Kentucky in 1935, his M.S. from the University of Illinois in 1940, and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1949.
