    In Resistance to a Capitalist Past: Emerging Practices of Critical Librarianship Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins

    In Resistance to a Capitalist Past: Emerging Practices of Critical Librarianship Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins Introduction In previous work, we’ve explored capitalism and neoliberal ideology in relation to oppression and inequalities, how consciousness raising as defned by Paulo Freire and Ira Shor can lead to informed action, and how the intersections of critical pedagogy and core values such as social responsibility, diversity, and the public good, can contextualize social justice work within the practice of librarianship.1 In this chapter, we revisit capitalism, by examining its inextricable historical connections to the proliferation of libraries and the growth of librarianship as a profession in the United States in the late nineteenth century. We fnd that the rise of capitalism and the “efciency movement” during the Progressive Era (1890–1920) led to a replicating of libraries in the image and model of corporations, and the creation of an educational system that favored practicality and connections to the market, within which we locate historical tensions between theory and practice. Tis chapter is neither historiography nor discourse analysis, but perhaps borrows from both. Our goal is to illuminate the economic and ideological contexts from which the library profession in the United States fourished, and has continued to be implicated. Despite the close alignment of American li- brarianship with a hegemonic economic ideology, there have been critical and 1 Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins, Information Literacy and Social Justice (Sacramento, CA: Library Juice Press, 2013).

    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.

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.

Beginning with a preface by John Y. Cole, Executive Director of the Center for the Book, the booklet discusses writer Robert B. Down's favorite childhood books and his interest in books and libraries that led to his writing a number of books on the theme of the influence of books, including "Books That Changed the World"; "Famous American Books"; "Famous Books, Ancient and Medi:wain; "Famous Books Since 1492"; "Books That Changed America"; "Famous Books, Great Writings in the History of Civilization"; "Books That Changed the South"; "In Search of New Horizons, Epic Tales of Travel and Exploration"; and "Landmarks in Science, Hippocrates to Carson." The booklet lists the two factors considered when including books in such collections and concludes with an examination of attempts made by other critics to assess the influence of books.

    CHAPTER I EARLY LIFE AND HARVARD STUDENT YEARS Early Years Charles Ammi Cutter was a member of a nineteenth century family that can be described as, "solid New England stock." The members had a pride in ancestry "not so much because their forbears were prominent in the social, polit- ical, or financial world, but because they were hard-working, plain-living, clear-thinking, and devout people, with high ideals.,,1 The Cutter fa_ily had its start in America with the arrival in Massachusetts from Newcastle-on-Tyne in Eng- land of the widow, Elizabeth Cutter, and her two sons about 1640. Through her son, Richard, she became the progenitress of descendants who, each in his own way, helped to civilize the colonial wilderness and who played a part in bringing the young nation through its revolutionary birth pains. 2 The Cutters were primarily farmers and merchants but included among their ranks clergymen, physicians, and later, 1 W.

    Bibliographical Essay on the History of Scholarly Libraries in the United States, 1800 to the Present by Harry Bach

    ILLINOI S UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PRODUCTION NOTE University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library Large-scale Digitization Project, 2007. University of Illinois Library School IZn2Jo5Iz2J y OCCASIONAL PAPERS no. 54 January 1959 cVW r . -I-•2 Number 54 Bibliographical Essay on the History of Scholarly Libraries in the United States, 1800 to the Present by Harry Bach Head, Acquisition Department San Jose State College, San Jose, California It has been stated that modern American library history has received only sporadic attention as a subject for investigation, that although there is an adequate supply of source materials to draw upon, no one has yet fashioned out of these materials a critical history of American librarianship. 98 An examination of the literature will show that neither a comprehensive study of the history'of public libraries nor of university libraries is available at the present time. "The lack, " as Rothstein points out, "has cost the profession dearly. Even a casual survey of the literature of librarianship, , he continues, "reveals the shocking degree of duplication and naivetd that stem from an in- sufficient awareness of previous efforts. t98 "Only through a series of histories of individual libraries, " say Wilson and Tauber, "will it be possible to write a comprehensive chronicle of university libraries and their role in higher edu- cation. Careful historical studies, based upon sound scholarship and keen in- sight, should go a long way in producing a body of data needed to prepare a definitive study of the American university library. ,131 This paper proposes to make a discriminative inventory and assessment of the literature dealing with the history of scholarly libraries.
