  • John Newbery Award Committee Manual
    JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs.

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.

    The Library as a Marketplace of Ideas Ronald J. Heckart Since the late 1930s, intellectual freedom has been a central theme in the professional ethics of librarians. From it has come powerful and inspiring rhetoric, but also confusion and controversy. This paper traces librarianship's notions of intellectual freedom to a widely analyzed concept in law and political science known as the marketplace of ideas, and finds that taking this broad theoretical view of intellectual freedom offers some useful insights into its strengths and weaknesses as an ethical cornerstone of the profession. ntellectual freedom is a com­ So ingrained and self-evident is this pelling theme in the profes­ theme that relatively few librarians have sional ethics of librarians.

  • Conference Rates Increase Update ULA General Board Meeting, February 23, 2018
    Conference Rates Increase Update ULA General Board Meeting, February 23, 2018 The Utah Library Association (ULA) continues to foster professional relationships across the state by providing opportunities to network and collaborate through roundtable and committee events and our annual conference. These events are largely funded from membership fees and revenue from the annual conference. With varying costs of programming, venues, and conference amenities (e.g., wifi) from year to year, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a budget that draws primarily from conference revenue and not the limited reserves. To facilitate the ongoing financial stability of the ULA, the general board began discussing rate increases at the October and December 2017 meetings. It was generally agreed that one jump now was more favorable than a gradual increase, and increasing one rate was more favorable than increasing both conference rates and membership rates. The president and general board asked a subgroup to research nearby state library conference rates and report back with findings and a proposed conference rate increase. The following provides information about this research and closes with a proposed conference rate increase that would go into effect January 1, 2019. 2014-2018 Review of Space Rental Costs and Overall Profit Year Venue Space Rental Profit 2018 Utah Valley CC $12,000.00 Unknown 2017 South Towne $18,077.57 $9,099.07 2016 Davis Conf.
