New approaches to education involving independentstudy outside of educational institutions, on all academic levels, willmake new demands on library resources. Also, since public libraries are tax-supportedtnstitutions, there is a growing realization of the need torecogPize new responsibilities for a rapidly growing and more diversified userpopulation, as well as to stimulate public library use. ERIC/CLIS has compiled this bibliography in aneffort to assist the members of the library community who areconcerned with these problems. Although unpolishedit is hoped that this tool will serve as ageneral reference source for those who wish to undertakethe Pr eparatton of critical review articles or substancive state-of-the-art surveys,to fill informational gaps existing in the field andprovide a firmer decision-making base on which the role of the public library canbe developed.

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.

DESCRIPTORS *Access to Information; *Information Policy; Information Technology; Intellectual Freedom; *Library Associations; *Library Role; *Library Services; Minority Groups; User Needs (Information) ABSTRACT This paper provides some of the historical'context of the efforts of the American Library Association (ALA) to define, extend, protect and advocate for equity of access, focusing on central tendencies rather than internal debate. The first section, "Toward the Concept of Access," discusses: how ALA became a public service organization; extension and adult education; a federal role for libraries; the role of the library in the post-war world; and the federal aid era. The second section, "Downstream Access," addresses: literacy and lifelong learning; African Americans; ALA, outreach, and equity; people with disabilities; and services to poor and homeless people. The third section, "Protecting and Extending Access," covers: intellectual freedom and "Libraries: An American Value"; a conceptual foundation for a national information policy; "Freedom and Equality of Access to Information"; Special Committee on Freedom and Equality of Access to Information; "Your

  • On Ethical Assessment: Locating and Applying the Core Values of Library and Information Science
    On Ethical Assessment: Locating and Applying the Core Values of Library and Information Science Scott W. H. Young Montana State University, USA Introduction In this paper, I provide a brief history of the development of values within Library and Information Studies (LIS), drawing on the literature of LIS, sociology, professionalism, value studies, and practical ethics. I begin by tracing the outlines of professional identity as a way of staking out a claim to values. I then turn to the definition and purpose of values, before enumerating the main values present in the LIS literature. Finally, I present an overview of the contemporary conversation and practical applications related to values, focusing on the American Library Association (ALA) Core Values of Librarianship. Defining a profession The ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science describes librarianship as “the profession devoted to applying theory and technology to the creation, selection, organization, management, preservation, dissemination, and utilization of collections of information in all formats.” Starting with this claim that library work is part of a profession, we can briefly examine the attributes that define a profession. To help illuminate these characteristics, we can look to the sociology literature. Greenwood outlines five basic attributes of a profession: systematic theory, authority, community sanction, ethical codes, and a culture.1 The analysis presented in this paper will focus primarily on the ethical code as a professional attribute. Greenwood describes an ethical code as a guide to occupational behavior that carries altruistic overtones and a public service-orientation. Such an ethical code can be enforced formally by a professional association empowered to censure members, or informally via pressure exerted from one colleague to another.
