Collection Update is published by the University of Guelph Library from time to time. The purpose of this series is to make the university community, other university libraries and the interested public at large more aware of the resources of the library with particular reference to the notable or unusual works in the collection. This issue indicates the wider scope and diversity of the collections that reflect the full panoply of interests of the university as a whole. The leading article by Mary Rubio chronicles one of Guelph's most outstanding acquisitions - the Lucy Maude Montgomery diaries.
