University Archives, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Record Series 39/2/20. Introduction Joanne E. Passet As chair of the Library History Round Table in 1992-93, I had the distinct pleasure of planning two programs for the 1993 annual American Library Association (ALA) meeting, held in New Orleans. One of my first thoughts, in this era of library school closings and mergers, was that we should celebrate the centennial of the University of Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science. As a historian of women, I also recognized that we could not honor the spirit of the University of Illinois Library School without recognizing the contri- butions of the first generation of library women. Although Melvil Dewey initiated professional education for librarians in 1887, a multifaceted circle of his female students arid colleagues enabled it to spread through- out the nation. From 1887, these women dominated library education and the placement of both female and male librarians. This circle in- cluded such exemplars as Katharine L. Sharp, Margaret Mann, and Harriet Howe. As they shared their vision of the library's role in society with countless students, these women formed an indestructible network that in turn enabled hundreds of library women to achieve success- in terms of their careers and in the system of libraries and services they established. In 1893, Reverend Frank W. Gunsaulus, president of Chicago's Armour Institute, asked Melvil Dewey to recommend a man to start a library and library school at his institution. Dewey's oft-quoted response-"The best man in America is a woman, and she is in the next room"-referred to none other than Katharine L. Sharp. One of Dewey's disciples, Sharp was dedicated to the profession, her colleagues, and her students. She left an indelible impression on librarianship that exists to this day. Indeed, many shared her vision, but Sharp exemplifies the library spirit inculcated in hundreds of women and men who attended the nation's library schools during this formative era. Their collective influence on the nation's library development stands as her legacy today. When Sharp opened a library school at Chicago's Armour Institute in 1893, she established the fourth such school in the nation, the first Joanne E. Passet in the Midwest. She quickly extended the course of study and in 1897 moved it to the University of Illinois. Sharp, who considered the library as second only to the church in its ability to do good, worked to instill high ideals in her students and to develop standards for an emerging profession. Recruiting a staff who shared her vision, Sharp led her colleagues as they nurtured generations of students and socialized them into the profession. Subsequently, these graduates became part of an impenetrable professional and social web that spread throughout the nation. Several themes recur in the three essays included here. First and foremost, these essays challenge the image of women librarians as passive and subservient. The leaders described here transcended feminine stereotypes as they took books to the people in the North, South, East, and West. Although some historians have depicted early librarians as women who focused on trivial technical details, it is clear that they tolerated the mechanical routine because they regarded it as the means to a more significant end. Second, these authors reexamine the feminine ethic of caring. As exemplified in the lives of these women, readers will find a basis for revaluing and reclaiming their past in this female-intensive profession. Finally, these essays document the power of a pervasive women's network that was generational as well as hierarchical and social. It filled several functions, among them mentoring. As the pioneering female library educators extended their own spheres of influence, they allowed students to glimpse the possibilities beyond their own horizons. Nonetheless, they operated within the limitations of time, place, and gender. It is useful to approach these essays in a chronological fashion. The phrase "invisible, indestructible network" in Laurel A. Grotzinger's paper, "Invisible, Indestructible Network: Women and the Diffusion

  • 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.

The University does not discriminate in o fering access to its educational programs and activities on the basis of age, gender, race, color, national origin, religion, creed, disability, veteran’s status or sexual orientation. The Dean of Students (01 Steele Building, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-5100 or 919.966.4042) has been designated to handle inquiries regarding the University’s non-discrimination policies. © 2007 Illuminating the Past A history of the first 75 years of the University of North Carolina’s School of Information and Library Science Illuminating the past, imagining the future! Dear Friends, Welcome to this beautiful memory book for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science (SILS). As part of our commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the School, the words and photographs in these pages will give you engaging views of the rich history we share. These are memories that do indeed illuminate our past and chal- lenge us to imagine a vital and innovative future. In the 1930’s when SILS began, the United States had fallen from being the land of opportunity to a country focused on eco- nomic survival. The income of the average American family had fallen by 40%, unemployment was at 25% and it was a perilous time for public education, with most communities struggling to afford teachers and textbooks for their children.

  • Women in Southern Library Education, 1905-19451
    WOMEN IN SOUTHERN LIBRARY EDUCATION, 1905-19451 James V. Carmichael, Jr. 2 Southern library education was an almost exclusively female enterprise until about 1930, when the first male students were accepted into the region's only ALA-accredited library school. In the formative (ca. 1905-30) and develop­ mental (ca. 1930-45) years of southern library education. regional attitudes toward gender, race, and class, and the South's impoverished economic climate. shaped the way in which library education was adapted to meet regional needs. The "old girl network" of library school alumnae. community leaders. and even untrained librarians represented a formidable coalition for library advocacy that even the region's much publicized illiteracy. bigotry, and general backwardness could not deter. Until at least 1945, southern library education was governed by females, long after women had lost their strongholds in other parts of the coun­ try. At the end of the Second World War, nine out of ten southern library schools had a female dean or director (see table 1) [1, pp. 15-16; 2, pp. 463-64; 3, pp. 593-94]. Similarly, among general library educa­ tion programs with no prohibition against the entrance of males, only the southern programs catered exclusively to females until 1930.3 Why I. I wish to acknowledge the generous assistance of the following librarians, library educa­ tors. and archivists who supplied information vital to this study: Peter Carini.

  • Library Trends 52(4): 2004
    Effi e Louise Power: Librarian, Educator, Author Melanie A. Kimball, Christine A. Jenkins, and Betsy Hearne Abstract Effi e Louise Power (1873–1969) represented the high standard of collabora- tion among children’s librarians that characterized the entire development of youth services work. This article examines Power’s role in U.S. library history as a practitioner, library and information science educator, national and regional professional leader, and author. Particular emphasis is given to Power’s place in the network of children’s librarians in the early twentieth century, her professional authority as the librarian selected by the American Library Association to write the fi rst textbook for children’s librarianship, and her success as one of the many librarians who have written and edited children’s books, especially folktale collections for use in storytelling pro- grams. Emerging most notably from this research is the discovery of how energetically, albeit quietly, Power infl uenced not only her contemporaries but also the next several generations of children’s librarians who have fol- lowed in her professional footsteps. The consciousness that none of us is working alone in her endeavor to bring worthwhile books to children should strengthen us. —Effi e L. Power (1925b) Introduction In May 1920 Effi e L. Power was at a crossroads. After six years as head of Children’s Services at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, she had been offered two job opportunities, one as State Director of School Libraries for Melanie A.

No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from the University of Texas Press. This version of the document is not the version of record.

This article relates "the southern problem" to early key events in southern library development and current fractures in American cultural politics. Article: Those still dazed by the tawdriness of style, if not the content, of the 2004 election campaign, with its predictable diversions and sideshows, should consider the journalistic garbage dredged up in past presidential campaigns: Andrew Jackson shot a man who insulted his wife, Rachel Donelson, because he had claimed their marriage was not legal; James Buchanan, the bachelor president, lived for years in Washington with Alabama senator
