(1980) "Gleason, Eliza Atkins (1909– )" ''In'' Wedgeworth, Robert (editor) (1993) ''World Encyclopedia of Library and Information Services'' (Third edition) American Library Association, Chicago, (pages 325-326 ), ISBN 0-8389-0609-5〕 Both of her parents were educators; her mother was a teacher and her father was the founder and first president of Slater State College, now Winston-Salem State University.
