The stories collected here demonstrate Rutgers University Libraries’ commitment to supporting the mission of Rutgers University and to building a strong foundation for academic success and research. Thanks to the publication of a large, rigorous new study, “The Impact of Academic Library Resources on Undergraduates’ Degree Completion,” we know that academic libraries can have a big impact on student outcomes. This bodes well for the thousands of students who use the Libraries each day, but it also means we have to make sure our core services meet their needs and expectations and that we are ready to support them throughout their academic careers. This year, we made significant improvements to our collections, instruction, and discovery, adding thousands of new resources and making them easier to find.

  • Mr. Dewey Is Crazy and Katharine Sharp Hates
    “Mr. Dewey is Crazy and Katharine Sharp Hates the University of Chicago:” Gender, Power, and Personality and the Demise of the University of Chicago Course in Library Science 1897–1903 Suzanne M. Stauffer School of Library and Information Science, Louisiana State University, Email: [email protected] In 1897, the University of Chicago Extension Division began offering what we today would call “bibliographic instruction” under the aegis of the Bureau of Information of the Illinois State Library Association. The program was expanded under university librarian Zella Allen Dixson, and by 1900 was designed to train librarians and library assistants. The program was severely criticized by Melvil Dewey in 1902 and by the American Library Association’s Committee on Library Training in 1903. In several let- ters of rebuttal, Dixson accused him and Katharine Sharp of conspiring to close the program for their own personal and professional reasons. This study examines the in- teractions among the three principals, and of gender, ego, and power in the demise of the program, as well as the ALA’s attempts to construct librarianship as a masculine profession.

  • 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.

Founded on October 6, 1876 during the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, the mission of ALA is to provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. Advocacy for Libraries and the Profession: The association actively works to increase public awareness of the crucial value of libraries and librarians, to promote state and national legislation beneficial to libraries and library users, and to supply the resources, training and support networks needed by local advocates seeking to increase support for libraries of all types. Diversity Diversity is a fundamental value of the association and its members, and is reflected in its commitment to recruiting people of color and people with disabilities to the profession and to the promotion and development of library collections and services for all people. Education and Lifelong Learning: The association provides opportunities for the professional development and education of all library staff members and trustees; it promotes continuous, lifelong learning for all people through library and information services of every type. Equitable Access to Information and Library Services The Association advocates funding and policies that support libraries as great democratic institutions, serving people of every age, income level, location, ethnicity, or physical ability, and providing the full range of information resources needed to live, learn, govern, and work.

MALLETT Maine Crusades and Crusaders, 1830-1850 Soon after John Winthrop disembarked from the Arbella in 1630, he expressed the desire to see the Massachusetts Bay Colony build a city upon a hill that would promote the greater glory of God, and serve as a model for all mankind. Emphasizing as it would the sovereignty of God and a pious approach to community problems, this transplanted religious group was envisioned as develop­ ing an unprecedented sobriety of manners and purity o f morals. Some two hundred years later, it was obvious that Winthrop’s hopes had been somewhat excessive, but some descendants of the early Massachusetts settlers showed the same burning desire to know the will o f God as had the early colonists. The main difference was that in the nineteenth century the moral and religious zeal of the Puritans frequently took the form o f social reform and utopianism.

  • Abel Fowler 1 Was Born in Rhode Island, USA in About 1781
    Over 200 years of the Fowler Family: The Fowlers, Eddys, Gridleys, Parrishes, etcetera This document is part of the story about the Fowler family of Gratiot and Isabella Counties in central Michigan and their roots in America. Another portion of the story involves the ancestors of Nellie Pearl Brooks (1873-1960), wife of Anson James Fowler and daughter of Elisha Hall Brooks (1818-1891) and Laura Jane Bartlett Brooks (1830-1908). We have broken this branch off into its own document which you can find at http://MelissaCravenFowler.com [choose “Tom’s Ancestry” tab]. You will also find other materials there, such as descendent charts. This story is about the Fowler family of Gratiot and Isabella Counties of central Michigan. It began with the “innocent” question, asked in 2005: “Who was the first Fowler of our line in North America?” Family lore passed down to us states that “Fowler brothers” escaped England for the New World for political reasons. This sounds a lot like the genealogical “fairy tale” which many families have in their oral histories: the quintessential “three brothers” story. In truth, many of those stories are true, as people tended to come to America in groups -- and many in family groups. So far, however, we have not been able to corroborate this in our case, mostly because we do not yet know who our Fowler immigrant-ancestor was! A family story that a Fowler initially was part of the Wells-Fargo stagecoach line has largely been disproved 1, as has the story’s variation that one of the Fowler brothers changed his name to Fargo and was the multiple-great-grandfather of the founder of the stagecoach line.
