REVISED AND ENLARGED EDITION With References from Poole’s “ Index,” and a Chapter on “Hooks and Ai;ticles on Reading” from Foster's “ Libraries and Readers ” Nkw York F. I KYI’OLDT, Publisher 1883 Copyright, 1883. By F. Leypoldt. CHAS. M. GREEN PRINTING COMPANY, Pkintkkb, Elkctkutypkks,ad Bindkks, 14 and 16 Peekman St., and 13and 15 Vandewater St., New York. PUBLISHER'S NOTE. It was at the request of the publisher that Mr. Green kindly consented to prepare a revised edition of his valuable paper on “ Library Aids,” read at the Baltimore Conference of Librarians, February, 1881. The paper was first printed in the LibraryJournal, April, 1881, and subsequently was published for dis- tribution as a separate pamphlet by the Bureau of Education, for a purpose clearly indicated in the fol- lowing note, printed on the title-page of the pamphlet: Department of thf. Interior, Bureau of Education, . Washington, March 24, 1881. The following article by Samuel S. Green, Esq., the accom- plished and well-known Librarian of the Worcester (Mass.) Free Public Library, answers many inquiries addressed to this Office as to the sources of information respecting the es- tablishment and conduct of libraries. It is impossible for the Office to publish at present fuller or more complete suggestions of this character. John Eaton, Commissioner. The publisher has every reason to believe that the re-issue of this paper, revised to date, will be appre dated by all who are interested in library matters. Publisher's Note. He has added, with the kind permission of the au- thors, the library references from Poole’s “ Index to Periodicals,” and the chapter on “ Books and Articles on Reading,” from “ Libraries and Readers,” by W. E. Foster; also the bibliography references from the “American Catalogue,” and (without permission, a liberty which the publisher feels assured the authors will forgive for the good purpose sake) the library authorities quoted in that admirable article on “Li- braries,” by H. R. Tedder and E. C. Thomas, in the “Encyclopaedia Britannica.” There is, perhaps, a raison d'etre for the appendix of publishers’ pages, since all contain “works for the library.” It is hoped that this little volume may form the foundation of a “ Library Annual,” having for chief features a topical record of the more prominent bibli- ographies, and of the articles and books relating to libraries, published during the year. Any sugges- tions, or bibliographical contributions, will be thank- fully received. F. Leypoldt. New York, June i, 1883. Hi'tJrarg 3tTis. It is very desirable that a library manual should be prepared and published. None exists in the Eng- lish language. There are materials, however, for a good one in the contents of the seven volumes of the Library Journal already published and of the Special Report issued at Washington in 1876, by the Bureau of Education, and entitled Public Libraries in the United States of America, their history, condition, and management. I have been requested to call attention to the more important articles and papers in these publications, and by grouping them under appropriate headings make their usefulness more apparent than it is at present to the great body of librarians and persons interested in establishing and maintaining libraries. I proceed, without further introduction, to do this work, premising only that large portions of both publications having interest as history only, or be- cause they describe different kinds of libraries, or give library news, will not be alluded to. The work here undertaken ends with the last num- ber of the Library Journal for the year 1882. The 2 LIBRARY AIDS. association referred to throughout this paper is the American Library Association. LIBRARY LEGISLATION. For instruction in regard to the history of this sub- ject and the teachings of experience respecting the best forms for library laws, mention should first be made of the excellent Report on library legislation (L. J., v. 4, p. 300), made by Dr. H. A. Homes, and to a paper which he read before making it, Legisla- tion for public libraries (L. J., v. 4, p. 262). The laws proposed as model legislation are printed in the Library Journal, v. 5, pp. 79, 109; read, also, in this connection, editorial notes on pp. 76 and 106, in the same volume. Other articles on this subject which it is desirable to read are State legislation in the matter of libra- ries, by W. F. Poole (L. J., v. 2, p. 7), Free town libraries in the Spec. Rep. (p. 445), and Public library government (L. J., v. 2, p. 292). There is a record of a discussion which followed Mr. Poole’s paper in the L. J., v. 2, p. 20. For a law recently passed by the Rhode Island Legislature providing for the punishment of persons who deface books or keep them out over time see L. J., v. 7, p. 228. For interesting rules provided for the government of the public library at Bridge- port, Conn., see ordinance of the Common Council of that city, etc. (L. J., v. 7, p. 233). I.IRRAKY AIDS. 3 FOUNDATION OK LIBRARIES. Note especially the Organization and management of public libraries, by W. F. Poole (Spec. Rep., p. 476), How to make town libraries successful, by F. B.

See, also, Method of securing the multiplication of libraries: Report by Henry A. Homes and discussion of the same (L. J., v. 6, p. 133). LIBRARY BUILDINGS. Attention should be called to Library buildings, by Justin Winsor (Spec. Rep., p. 465), Construction of library buildings, by William F. Poole (L. J., v. 6, p. 69), and Progress of library architecture, by William F. Poole (L. J., v. 7, p. 130); also to discussions on this subject at the meetings of the association in New York (L. J., v. 2, p. 31), Boston (L. J., v. 4, p. 292), Washington (L. J., v. 6, p. 123), and Cincinnati (L. J., v. 7, p. 196). See The National-library building, by J. L. Smithmeyer (L. J., v. 6, p. 77) for an illus- trated account of the building which it has been pro- posed to erect for storing the Library of Congress. 4 LIBRARY AIDS. Mr. Poole criticises Mr. Smithmeyer’s plans in the second of his two articles referred to just above. For remarks by Mr. Spofford on a building for the Library of Congress see L. J., v. 6, p. 126. The trustees of the Boston Public Library have recently issued a report on the fitness of the English High and Latin School building for the uses of the Public Library. This contains six plans, four of them for a new build- ing on the Dartmouth Street lot given to the city by the state. Examine in connection Minority report of W. H. Whitmore on the fitness of the English High and Latin School building for the uses of the Public Library, with four plans. One of the latter is a plan of the Harvard C. L. book-stack.

    Date : 27/06/2006 The modern history of the library movement and reading campaign in Korea Yong-jae Lee Assistant Professor Department of Library, Archive and Information Studies Pusan National University, 30 Janjeon-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Pusan, 609-735 Republic of Korea And Jae-soon Jo, Librarian The Korean National University of Arts Library San 1-5, Seokgwang-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, 136-716 Republic of Korea Meeting: 119 Library History Simultaneous Interpretation: No WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm ABSTRACT This paper explores the history of library movement and reading campaign in Korea since 1900. Korean people tried in many ways to establish their own libraries in 20th century. Many library thinkers, intellectuals, and librarians have struggled to build 1 modern libraries in communities or nationwide. Although Korea has a brilliant history of record and print, it has been so hard to establish libraries for the Korean people during last century. The Korean libraries have endured hardships such as Japanese colonialism, Korean War, and military dictatorship. This paper examines the Korean people’s efforts to establish libraries, and it looks into the history of library movement in Korea. And also this paper introduces the recent reading campaigns such as ‘Bookstart’, ‘One Book One City’. With historical lessons suggested in this paper, people may have some insight to make and develop libraries in Korea. 2 1. Introduction Korean public libraries in the 20th Century grew by undergoing history of formidable obstacles.

  • In Resistance to a Capitalist Past: Emerging Practices of Critical Librarianship Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins
    In Resistance to a Capitalist Past: Emerging Practices of Critical Librarianship Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins Introduction In previous work, we’ve explored capitalism and neoliberal ideology in relation to oppression and inequalities, how consciousness raising as defned by Paulo Freire and Ira Shor can lead to informed action, and how the intersections of critical pedagogy and core values such as social responsibility, diversity, and the public good, can contextualize social justice work within the practice of librarianship.1 In this chapter, we revisit capitalism, by examining its inextricable historical connections to the proliferation of libraries and the growth of librarianship as a profession in the United States in the late nineteenth century. We fnd that the rise of capitalism and the “efciency movement” during the Progressive Era (1890–1920) led to a replicating of libraries in the image and model of corporations, and the creation of an educational system that favored practicality and connections to the market, within which we locate historical tensions between theory and practice. Tis chapter is neither historiography nor discourse analysis, but perhaps borrows from both. Our goal is to illuminate the economic and ideological contexts from which the library profession in the United States fourished, and has continued to be implicated. Despite the close alignment of American li- brarianship with a hegemonic economic ideology, there have been critical and 1 Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins, Information Literacy and Social Justice (Sacramento, CA: Library Juice Press, 2013).

  • History of Urban Main Library Service
    History of Urban Main Library Service JACOB S. EPSTEIN THEMOST IMPORTANT early date for urban public libraries would certainly be 1854, the year the Boston Public Library opened its doors. But as Jesse Shera has noted: “The opening, on March 20,1854, of the reading room of the Boston Public Library. ..was not a signal that a new agency had suddenly been born into American urban life. Behind the act were more than two centuries of experimentation, uncertainty, and change.”l Before the advent of public libraries there were numerous social li- braries, mercantile libraries and other efforts to have a community store of books which could be borrowed or consulted. A common prin- ciple evident in each of them was the belief that the printed word was important and should be made available to the ordinary citizen who could not own all the literature which was of value. Although it was a subscription library, rather than a public library as we think of it today, Benjamin Franklin’s Library Company of Phila- delphia, organized in 1731, was the first library in America to circulate books and the first to pay a librarian for his services. In his Autobiogra- phy, Franklin declared, “These libraries have improved the general conversation of the Americans, made the common tradesmen and farm- ers as intelligent as most gentlemen from other countries, and perhaps have contributed in some degree to the stand so generally made throughout the colonies in defense of their privileges.”2 Here is that recurrent theme of self-improvement that runs throughout the Ameri- can public library movement.

The Literature of American Library History, 2003–2005 Abstract A number of years have elapsed since publication of the last essay of this sort, so this one will cover three years of historical writings on American librarianship, 2003–5, instead of the usual two. We will have to see whether this new method becomes the norm or will ultimately be considered an aberration from the traditional approach. I do know that several years ago Donald G. Davis, Jr., and Michael Harris covered three years (1971–73) in their essay, and we all survived the experience. In preparing this essay I discovered that when another year of coverage is added the volume of writings to cover also grows impressively. A conservative estimate places the number of books and articles published in the years under review at more than two hundred items.

Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.

  • Scope of the Archive Service Accreditation Scheme
    Scope of Archive Service Accreditation Scheme 1. Formal Definitions Records 1.1 „information created, received, and maintained as evidence and information by an organization or person, in pursuance of legal obligations or in the transaction of business‟ (ISO15489-1) Archives 1.2 “Materials created or received by a person, family or organisation, public or private, in the conduct of their affairs and preserved because of the enduring value contained in them or as evidence of the functions and responsibilities of their creator, especially those materials maintained using the principles of provenance, original order and collective control; permanent records.” [our emphasis] (ISO 16175-1:2010) 1.3 Archives may be informal in terms of their format and the ‘business’ to which they relate: for example, a group of love letters may be created and maintained for ‘the conduct of...affairs’ of a personal and private nature. Archive Service 1.4 The word ‘Archives’ is also commonly used to refer to the place or institution where such material is kept. As the word is often misused to refer to mere ‘dumping grounds’ for older records which have ceased to be properly managed, but not yet destroyed, this scheme prefers the term ‘archive service ’, meaning: “An organisation, or part of an organisation, with a remit to manage and promote the preservation and use of archives in its custody” 1.5 Archive Services will normally have custody of the archives of their own parent organisation but may also have custody (but not necessarily ownership) of the archives of other organisations or persons. 1.6 Archive Services must offer some access to their archive collections beyond members of their own institution or organisation to seek formal accreditation under this scheme: however, this need not be their primary function, and may be more limited than services to specific user groups.
