    70th and 71st ANNUAL CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS of the American Library Association Chicago, Illinois July 8-14, 1951 New York City June 29-July 5, 1952 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 50 EAST HURON STREET CHICAGO n, ILLINOIS I I 11 ' PREFACE This publication of two years of ALA conference proceedings represents an economy measure. It is an economy necessitated by substantial deficits in the conference budgets, to which the publi­ cation of proceedings must be charged. The proceedings are a perquisite of membership. Copies are being mailed to all institu­ tional members, but the undersigned committee felt that distribu­ tion to individual members should be determined in this instance by request. By so doing, it seemed more than likely that substan­ tial savings could be effected and at the same time the needs of the membership be met. Consequently it was announced in the ALA Bulletin that all members so requesting would receive copies upon publication. Because of some uncertainty regarding the publication of these proceedings, reports of some conference meetings were not sub­ mitted. All material received, however, has been used, with a minimum of editing. Committee on Annual Publications Cora M. Beatty Ransom L. Richardson Leo M.

    ACONDA and ANACONDA: Social Change, Social Responsibility, and Librarianship Douglas Raber Abstract In the context of the declining legitimacy of the war in Vietnam and widespread challenges to the authority of established institutions and cultural norms, the American Library Association (ALA) was the target of criticism by a diverse coalition of librarians who asserted two broad demands; first, that the ALA expand the scope of its activities to include consideration of social and political issues that had not, to that point, been regarded as “library” issues by the established leadership of the ALA; second, that the ALA democratize its struc- ture of decision making. This challenge led to the creation of the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT), which is still active as a component of the ALA. It also prompted the formation of two com- mittees in response to the above demands: the Activities Committee on New Directions (ACONDA) and the Ad Hoc Activities Committee on New Directions (ANACONDA). A central concept at play in the politics of these events is the notion of “social responsibility” and its meaning in time of war and social change. This article focuses on the discourse of the challengers to the ALA and the ALA’s response through the work of ACONDA and ANACONDA to examine the contesting and contested meanings of the “social responsibility” of libraries, librarianship, and the ALA. These events and this discursive struggle established an explicit professional concern for and continu- ing conflict over the meaning and role of libraries and librarianship in the creation of culture that before these events had been merely implicit in professional discourse.

DESCRIPTORS Biographical Inventories; *Educational Background; Employment Patterns; *Geographic Distribution; *Library Associations; Marital Status; Physical Characteristics; *Political Affiliation; *Presidents; Religion IDENTIFIERS *American Library Association ABSTRACT A survey of the personal, socioeconomic, and professional characteristics of the 100 men and women who served as President to the American Library Association CALA) between 1876 and 1986 was undertaken to identify those socioeconcmic and professional characteristics whose frequency distributions remained relatively constant for all 100 members of the club, and to identify those group characteristics whose frequency distributions changed over the 110-year period during which the group held office. A comparison of presidents from 1906 to 1925 with their counterparts from 1966 to 1985 shows a sharp contrast: the former individual was more likely to be white, male, married, and Protetant; somewhat more likely to be a Republican; and a graduate from a northeastern college or university but with,-,ut formal library education; and the director of a nonpublic library in the northeast.
