  • Bibliographical Essay on the History of Scholarly Libraries in the United States, 1800 to the Present by Harry Bach
    ILLINOI S UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PRODUCTION NOTE University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library Large-scale Digitization Project, 2007. University of Illinois Library School IZn2Jo5Iz2J y OCCASIONAL PAPERS no. 54 January 1959 cVW r . -I-•2 Number 54 Bibliographical Essay on the History of Scholarly Libraries in the United States, 1800 to the Present by Harry Bach Head, Acquisition Department San Jose State College, San Jose, California It has been stated that modern American library history has received only sporadic attention as a subject for investigation, that although there is an adequate supply of source materials to draw upon, no one has yet fashioned out of these materials a critical history of American librarianship. 98 An examination of the literature will show that neither a comprehensive study of the history'of public libraries nor of university libraries is available at the present time. "The lack, " as Rothstein points out, "has cost the profession dearly. Even a casual survey of the literature of librarianship, , he continues, "reveals the shocking degree of duplication and naivetd that stem from an in- sufficient awareness of previous efforts. t98 "Only through a series of histories of individual libraries, " say Wilson and Tauber, "will it be possible to write a comprehensive chronicle of university libraries and their role in higher edu- cation. Careful historical studies, based upon sound scholarship and keen in- sight, should go a long way in producing a body of data needed to prepare a definitive study of the American university library. ,131 This paper proposes to make a discriminative inventory and assessment of the literature dealing with the history of scholarly libraries.

    HAROLD M. TURNER The CECL' s First Fifty Years The first Conference of Eastern College Librarians was held in 1912; in 1964 the fiftieth such conclave took place. Throughout its history the CECL has been noted for its informality, its independence, and its prophetic concern for matters that later command the attention of the entire profession.

The aP st, Present, and Future of Demand Driven Acquisitions in Academic Libraries Abstract The challenge of creating an effective and appropriate library collection has been further tested by the recent advent of what Clayton Christensen has termed “disruptive technology.” In his well-known study, The Innovator’s Dilemma, Christensen explores the impact of technological change on the business and other communities. For Christensen, technology can either be sustaining or disruptive. Sustaining technologies improve the performance of products and continue to make them valuable to the consumer. Disruptive technologies, on the other hand, initially underperform in the marketplace, but have a tendency to improve their quality at a rapid rate and eventually replace the established technology.

    Comp. by: PG1506 Stage : Revises1 ChapterID: 0000962779 Date:23/7/09 Time:06:41:34 Filepath:d:/ womat-filecopy/0000962779.3D History of American Library Science: Its Origins and Early Development John V. Richardson Jr. Department of Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Abstract The narrow purpose of this entry is threefold: 1) to identify the key events and players in the origin and early development of the discipline of library science in the United States (and perhaps North America more generally, but certainly not Europe, much less India, other than to mention its origins in Germany); 2) to describe the intellectual foundations and history for the discipline of library science as developed at the University of Chicago’s GLS; and 3) to briefly identify the knowledge and skills as well as values associated with this emergent field. Strictly speaking, therefore, it is not a discourse on computer science, informatics, information science, information studies, or for that matter, the history of librarianship nor books and libraries; neither is it a history of literary endeavors, printing, writing, or scholarly communica- tion per se, but rather it is an introductory orientation to a highly specialized field of knowledge.

    Hampton, Fisk, and Atlanta: The Foundations, the American Library Association, and Library Education for Blacks, 1925-1941 By: Robert Sidney Martin and Orvin Lee Shiflett Martin, Robert Sidney, and Orvin Lee Shiflett. "Hampton, Fisk, and Atlanta: The Foundations, the American Library Association, and Library Education for Blacks, 1925-1941." with Robert Sydney Martin. Libraries and Culture 31 (Spring 1996) : 299-325. Made available courtesy of University of Texas Press: http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/journals/jlc.html ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document Abstract: Training Black librarians to work in the segregated South was a major concern of the American Library Association (ALA), of the philanthropic foundations involved in library development in the South, and of southern librarians in the 1920s and 1930s. The choice of the Hampton Institute and, later, Atlanta University as designated centers for training Black librarians was a controversial one. The issues of appropriate institutional affiliations for the effort, of funding, and even of the need for such a facility were hotly debated. This paper investigates the issues surrounding the establishment of a formal school for Black librarians and the circum- stances that eventually placed the school at Atlanta University. Article: Introduction Beginning in the 1920s, the development of professional education for librarianship in the United States was fostered by an active partnership between the ALA and philanthropic foundations, especially the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the General Education Board (GEB). In 1925, these parties, together with the Julius Rosenwald Fund, began a crusade to establish a library education program for African Americans in the South.
