In general these units have been con- sidered as miniature main libraries conveniently located for easy access by all residents of the neighborhood and offering a varied range of services. Because of this structure, a substantial portion of the budget of any consolidated system is allocated to branch library operations for staff, for library materials and for building maintenance. It is also safe to assume that a great deal of administrative time as well is de- voted to the many aspects of this phase of the library program. Despite the acknowledged growth and importance of the branch library structure, it is equally clear that professional literature dealing with branch administration is almost totally lacking.

  • History of Urban Main Library Service

    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.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Flora Elizabeth Reynolds dated June 14, 1999.

    Library Media Services Providing Service and Leadership for the 21St Century

    Library Media Services Providing service and leadership for the 21st Century San Diego County Office of Education, 2011 ABSTRACT This is a white paper outlining the need for renewed and re-envisioned library media services for San Diego County Schools. The mandates, research and recommendations for school library services and new opportunities to receive information technologies via the Digital Content Portal are presented. San Diego County Office of Education LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES TRANSFORMING LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES: THE NEED, THE CHALLENGE California ranks 51st in the nation with regard to ratio of teacher librarians to students. Research has shown that access to school library services under the direction of a librarian or library teacher increases student achievement. California Education Code (EC) Section 18101: “The State Board of Education shall adopt standards, rules and regulations for school library services.” County offices are asked to support school libraries by providing access to library materials and the services of a professional librarian or library teacher for those districts that can’t afford to support their own library program. Need for alignment of services to Common Core State Standards, Model School Library Standards, and National Educational Technology Standards. The nature of library services is changing—the question is what to change and what to retain. Funding for school library services has decreased significantly in the past 20 years. San Diego county schools need library programs that will support the Common Core Standards. Limited funding combined with changes in technology have led to a plan of updating how SDCOE cost effective and current library services are provided.
