  • The Knowledge Institutions in the Information Age. the Special Case of the Public Library
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 314 073 IR 053 007 AUTHOR Molz, R. Kathleen TITLE The Knowledge Institutions in the Information Age. The Special Case of the Public Library. INSTITUTION Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. REPORT NO ISBN-0-8444-0621-X PUB DATF 88 NOTE 24p.; An Engelhard Lecture on the Book presented at the Library of Congress (Washington, DC, April 7, 1987). Supportes in part by the Daniel J. and Ruth F. Boorstin Publications Fund. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) -- Viewpoints (120) -- Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MFO1/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Access to Information; Depository Libraries; Electronic Publishing; Elementary Secondary Education; Federal Government; *Government Role; Information Centers; *Information Dissemination; Legislators; *Library Role; Policy Formation; *Public Libraries; Public Schools IDENTIFIERS *Knowledge Production and Utilization; *National Information Policy; United States ABSTRACT This essay explores the somewhat uneven course of the public library as a knowledge institution in America and its relevance during the current information age, particularly in the United States, where there is a basic connection between access to knowledge and the political system. The public library situation is considered in terms of the dichotomy of consumption, (i.e., the assumption that services to the poor are in themselves a public good and should be provided to alleviate personal need), and investment (i.e., the assumption that the use of services provided to the poor will ultimately result in productive contributions to society). The history of access to information in public libraries is traced from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, and it is argued that the move from "knowledge" to "information" has been promoted by the business sector because substantial gains have been realized as a result of capitalizing on knowledge.

  • New York's Oldest Public Libraries
    New Y��������������ublic Libraries 145 Harold Augenbraum NEW YORK'S OLDEST PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, before the proliferation of tax-supported libraries in the United States, the subscription library filled the reading needs of many people in the country. Now little known outside a small group of library historians and current members of these institutions, many subscrip- tion libraries flourished in the 1800s, but by the twentieth century most had disappeared, victims of lack of funds, lack of interest, or mismanagement. Called membership libraries today, only sixteen subscription libraries are left in the United States. They continue to provide services and care for historic collections, filling a need in various cultural and social strata in several American cities. Some, such as the tiny Salem Athenaeum, survive despite tiny budgets and constituencies; others, such as the Boston Athenaeum and the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, have impressive and important collections. Their constituencies range from the low hundreds to as many as 7,000 members. New York City is home to three such libraries, all of which are located within a mile and a half of each other: the Library of the General Society of Mechan- ics and Tradesmen and the Mercantile Library of New York, both in midtown Manhattan; and the New York Society Library, on the Gold Coast of the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The three were established by and for different social groups whose social and economic status experienced myriad changes in the nineteenth century. Their histories and current situations illustrate the principal streams of subscription library development in America.
