BIBLIOGRAPHY of the HISTORY of LIBRARIES in CALIFORNIA, 1973-2003 Introduction Page 1 of 198 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE HISTORY OF LIBRARIES IN CALIFORNIA, 1973-2003 by Suzanne M. Stauffer, Ph.D. Introduction This bibliography updates Hannah J. Kunkle’s Bibliography of the History of Libraries in California, which included material through 1972. As with that earlier work, the purpose of this bibliography is to introduce librarians, library historians, and students of California library history to numerous sources on California library development. For this reason, it is limited to selections of published primary and secondary sources from 1973 through 2003 which are readily available to the researcher. The coverage includes information on public, academic, school, and special libraries in California, the functions and activities of those libraries and the librarians who serve in them, library education and educators in the state, works and articles by and about California librarians, and the various California library associations. Journal articles, monographs, pamphlets, documents, research papers, theses, and dissertations have been included. The bibliography does not include: Archival materials; newspaper articles; acquisition and selection policies; catalogues or lists of special collections materials; bibliographies on California; union lists; guides to libraries; minutes and annual reports to trustees and boards; displays and exhibits; association reports; library association constitutions; conferences; library clipping files and scrapbooks; reports of the Trustees of the California State Library; Journals of the California Senate and Assembly; and local directories. Unlike Kunkle’s work, this bibliography does include activities of Friends of the Library groups, announcements of awards and library appointments, relevant letters to the editor, and brief obituary notices, in order to serve as a resource for biographical information California librarians. Information was extracted from print and electronic versions of Library and Information Science Abstracts and Library Literature, OCLC’s WorldCat database, the California State Library Foundation Bulletin, and Newsletter (California Library Association) (except vols. 15, 17, and 18) and its successor, California Libraries. The organization follows that of the previous bibliography, with appropriate modifications, as follows. Items are arranged alphabetically by author or title within the appropriate category, and follow the bibliographic format of the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th Edition. References to individual public city, county, and cooperative library systems are interfiled alphabetically by location within Part III. Public Libraries C. Specific Libraries. Government aid to libraries is included in Part I. General References. Given that this is an electronic document, which can be easily searched, the author index was omitted as unnecessary.

  • Grievance 19 State of New California (Pdf)
    State of New California NOTICE TO ALL CALIFORNIANS! Grievance 19 May 29, 2018 New California is a new state in development exercising its Constitutional Right to form from the State of California. The process to form New California is authorized and codified in Article IV Sections 3 & 4 of the United States Constitution. Article IV Section 3 United States Constitution states: New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress. Statement of Intent The Citizens of New California have decided to remedy the abuse of power by the government of California by exercising their right to form a new state provided in United States Constitution Article IV Sections 3 and Section 4. “We are determined to live under a State Government in the United States of America and under the Constitution of the United States”. New California Declaration of Independence of January 15, 2018 states: “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government. When a long train of abuses and acts to seize and hold the people’s power without legal authority and pursuing invariably the same Object that clearly demonstrates a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The School of the Library A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the Degree of Masters in Library and Information Science by Christine Michele Curley 2017 © Copyright by Christine Curley 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The School of the Library by Christine Michele Curley Masters in Library and Information Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Johanna R Drucker, Chair Despite the enormous efforts which preceded the founding of the School of Library service at UCLA, two critics in the August 1959 issue of Southern California Chapter of the Special Libraries Association Bulletin--Robert Lewis and Frank Bennett, the latter of which was the Bulletin’s editor--created a stir in the special libraries community when they adamantly went against the general consensus of enthusiasm for the School of Library Service, and rather, vehemently opposed it. In exploring the reasons for and responses to these criticisms, this thesis will present an argument as to why these early critics were erroneous in their assessment of library education in Southern California and why the School of Library Service’s legacy and history, especially the efforts of Regent Edward Augustus Dickson, are essential in understanding the importance of UCLA’s “School of the Library.” Using information which was known in 1959 as well as that which is now known in retrospect, this thesis will assert reasons why the University of California Regents made a commendable decision in approving the School

  • Topic 2: Eligibility for Section 108 Exceptions
    April 17, 2007 Before the Section 108 Study Group And The Copyright Office Library of Congress In the Matter of Issues Relating to the Exceptions and Limitations Applicable to Libraries and Archives Under Section 108 of the Copyright Act Comments of the Music Library Association This document provides an expansion of oral comments made on behalf of the Music Library Association at the public roundtable discussion held by the Section 108 Study Group in Los Angeles, California, March 8, 2006 as well as additional comments regarding related topics not considered in that discussion. The Music Library Association is the professional association for music libraries and librarianship in the United States. It has an international membership of librarians, musicians, scholars, educators, and members of the book and music trades. The MLA’s purpose is to promote the establishment, growth, and use of music libraries; to encourage the collection of music and music literature in libraries; to increase efficiency in music library service and administration; and to promote the profession of music librarianship. Topic 1: Eligibility for Section 108 Exceptions —Definition of libraries and archives. For purposes of §108 libraries and archives should be defined based on the nature of and access to their holdings. At issue is appropriate use of materials that may be held in such collections, not who owns or administers them. A broad definition is desirable, one that does not unduly deny use of content that would otherwise be accessible or preservable simply because it was held in a different type of repository. Library or archival materials held in a museum or historical society would still be eligible under the section.
