KYTE,+Ernest+Cockburn

KYTE, Ernest Cockburn (1876-1971) St Marylebone 1894; Holborn 1905; Willesden 1907; Secretary, Library Association 1919-1922; CL Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada 1928-1947 His brief period at the LA was financially underwritten by the CUKT: he resigned when it became clear that the economy drive of the period would make his situation extremely precarious; he had no successor there until 1928. Kyte was specially interested in cataloguing and spent the years between 1922 and 1928 cataloguing private libraries. His Canadian librarianship was characterized by vast improvements in service and in the publicizing of those improvements.
