Excerpted from Wikipedia and Rutgers:
John Cotton Dana (1856–1929) was an amazing, progressive librarian. He "invented" the first "open stacks", organized the first separate children's room. He also developed a special collection for the business community, and this "Business Branch" was the first of its kind in the nation.
He would have loved the World Wide Web. Dana was quoted as saying, “A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established” (Hadley, 68).
The John Cotton Dana Library at Rutgers University is but one library named for him.
