  • A Narrative of Augusta Baker's Early Life and Her Work As a Children's Librarian Within the New York Public Library System B
    A NARRATIVE OF AUGUSTA BAKER’S EARLY LIFE AND HER WORK AS A CHILDREN’S LIBRARIAN WITHIN THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM BY REGINA SIERRA CARTER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor James Anderson, Chair Professor Anne Dyson Professor Violet Harris Associate Professor Yoon Pak ABSTRACT Augusta Braxston Baker (1911-1998) was a Black American librarian whose tenure within the New York Public Library (NYPL) system lasted for more than thirty years. This study seeks to shed light upon Baker’s educational trajectory, her career as a children’s librarian at NYPL’s 135th Street Branch, her work with Black children’s literature, and her enduring legacy. Baker’s narrative is constructed through the use of primary source materials, secondary source materials, and oral history interviews. The research questions which guide this study include: 1) How did Baker use what Yosso described as “community cultural wealth” throughout her educational trajectory and time within the NYPL system? 2) Why was Baker’s bibliography on Black children’s books significant? and 3) What is her lasting legacy? This study uses historical research to elucidate how Baker successfully navigated within the predominantly White world of librarianship and established criteria for identifying non-stereotypical children’s literature about Blacks and Black experiences. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Philippians 4:13 New Living Translation (NLT) ”For I can do everything through Christ,[a] who gives me strength.” I thank GOD who is my Everything.

  • 70Th and 71St American Library Association
    70th and 71st ANNUAL CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS of the American Library Association Chicago, Illinois July 8-14, 1951 New York City June 29-July 5, 1952 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 50 EAST HURON STREET CHICAGO n, ILLINOIS I I 11 ' PREFACE This publication of two years of ALA conference proceedings represents an economy measure. It is an economy necessitated by substantial deficits in the conference budgets, to which the publi­ cation of proceedings must be charged. The proceedings are a perquisite of membership. Copies are being mailed to all institu­ tional members, but the undersigned committee felt that distribu­ tion to individual members should be determined in this instance by request. By so doing, it seemed more than likely that substan­ tial savings could be effected and at the same time the needs of the membership be met. Consequently it was announced in the ALA Bulletin that all members so requesting would receive copies upon publication. Because of some uncertainty regarding the publication of these proceedings, reports of some conference meetings were not sub­ mitted. All material received, however, has been used, with a minimum of editing. Committee on Annual Publications Cora M. Beatty Ransom L. Richardson Leo M.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2008 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to past, present, and future contributors to the Journal of Library History, Philosophy, and Comparative Librarianship , and its subsequent incarnations, Libraries & Culture and Libraries & the Cultural Record Acknowledgements Unlike almost any other project I have undertaken to completion, this dissertation is the product of unplanned, unforeseen, and improbable circumstances. The choice of focus is a happy result of the catastrophic derailing of my original academic intentions. For the happy result, I must thank Bette Oliver and Hermina Anghelescu for creating an uproarious, visually rich, and most intellectually stimulating environment within the 191 square feet that once served as the editorial office for Libraries & Culture (Journal) . If it had not been for the lively intensity that radiated from that space, I never would have discovered that the quarters of a scholarly journal could be the nexus for such wide ranging discussions and deep questioning of academic traditions and the life of the mind.

Understanding Wikipedia is essential to teaching information literacy and editing Wikipedia is essential to foster successful information-seeking behavior. Librarians who become skilled Wikipedians will maintain the centrality of librarianship to knowledge management in the 21st century—especially through active participation in crowdsourcing.
