MOSHER Friends Groups and Academic Libraries 1 he first university library friends group was founded at Harvard in 1925, in order to provide "the most effective aid" for that library. In all probability, the organization was established to stimulate the flagging enthusiasm of donors, whose benefactions had begun to decline; and it was probably modeled on the first library support organization to call itself a friends group, La Societe des Amis de la Bibliotheque Nationale et des Grandes Biblio- theques de France, which had been founded in 1913, and with which Harvard's library director, Archibald Coolidge, had become familiar during 1 a tour and book-buying expedition to Europe. By 1930 there were emulative friends groups at Columbia, Yale, Prince- ton, and Johns Hopkins, and the number grew substantially during the next four decades. While the process of growth has been substantial, it has undergone fluctuations; there has been a fairly high mortality rate among friends groups. The number swells during periods of poor library funding or and it declines times of for there rapidly rising costs, during plenty ; example, 2 were few new groups between 1954 and 1970, but significant multiplication of them occurred during the decades immediately preceding and following that period. There has also been a tidal ebb and flow as groups have lost direction or membership, or as major projects have been completed. Suc- cessive editions of the ALA Friends of the Library Committee publications show that of thirty-five groups listed in 1937, twenty-four were not listed in 1951; and of eighty-eight listed in 1941, fifty-nine groups were not men- 3 tioned in 1951, and fifty were missing in 1955.

    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg

    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq.

  • Contribution of the Not for Profit Sector Study

    Contribution of the Not for Profit Sector Study

    Australian Government Productivity Commission CONTRIBUTION OF THE NOT FOR PROFIT SECTOR STUDY A submission by Friends of Libraries Australia Friends of Libraries Australia (FOLA) was established in 1994 to foster the development of Friends of Libraries groups in Australia. Those Friends groups are increasing in numbers and influence, as the supporters of their local libraries, and voice of their communities about them. With its vision of ‘better, more accessible, libraries for all in Australia’ FOLA is a lay voice of the 60% of Australians of all ages who use and highly value the Australian free not for profit public library sector, with its 1550 access points. Those libraries uniquely serve the whole population, from ‘cradle to grave’, and are facing increasing demands at both ends of that demographic range, particularly from the baby boomers and other older adults. On behalf of those libraries and their users, FOLA therefore welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the study. Its submission provides the context for the Australian public library sector and, consistent with the study’s stated focus, a commentary on the measurement of the public library sector’s contribution to Australia. obstacles to maximizing the public library sector’s contribution to the nation. Context Australia is a longstanding and well regarded member of UNESCO. The UNESCO Public Library Manifesto1 states The public library, the local gateway to knowledge, provides a basic condition for lifelong learning, independent decision making and cultural development of the individual and social groups. This Manifesto proclaims UNESCO’s belief in the public library as a living force for education, culture and information, and as an essential agent for the fostering of peace and spiritual welfare through the minds of men and women.
