  • 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).

  • Mr. Dewey Is Crazy and Katharine Sharp Hates
    “Mr. Dewey is Crazy and Katharine Sharp Hates the University of Chicago:” Gender, Power, and Personality and the Demise of the University of Chicago Course in Library Science 1897–1903 Suzanne M. Stauffer School of Library and Information Science, Louisiana State University, Email: [email protected] In 1897, the University of Chicago Extension Division began offering what we today would call “bibliographic instruction” under the aegis of the Bureau of Information of the Illinois State Library Association. The program was expanded under university librarian Zella Allen Dixson, and by 1900 was designed to train librarians and library assistants. The program was severely criticized by Melvil Dewey in 1902 and by the American Library Association’s Committee on Library Training in 1903. In several let- ters of rebuttal, Dixson accused him and Katharine Sharp of conspiring to close the program for their own personal and professional reasons. This study examines the in- teractions among the three principals, and of gender, ego, and power in the demise of the program, as well as the ALA’s attempts to construct librarianship as a masculine profession.

  • 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 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.

  • Google Books As a General Research Collection by Edgar Jones
    54(2) LRTS 77 Google Books as a General Research collection By Edgar Jones The current study attempts to measure the extent to which “full view” volumes contained in Google Books constitute a viable generic research collection for works in the public domain, using as a reference collection the catalog of a major nine- teenth-century research library and using as control collections—against which the reference catalog also would be searched—the online catalogs of two other major research libraries: one that was actively collecting during the same period and one that began actively collecting at a later date. A random sample of 398 entries was drawn from the Catalogue of the Library of the Boston Athenæum, 1807–1871, and searched against Google Books and the online catalogs of the two control collections to determine whether Google Books constituted such a viable general research collection. “There’s an east wind coming, Watson.” “I think not, Holmes. It is very warm.” “Good old Watson! You are the one fixed point in a changing age. There’s an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it’s God’s own wind none the less, and a cleaner, bet- ter, stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared.” —Arthur Conan Doyle, His Last Bow n December 14, 2004, Google announced that it had concluded agree- ments with five major research libraries to begin what is now known as the O 1 Google Books Library Project.

  • The American Origins of Public Library Work with Children
    The American Origins of Public Library Work with Children FRANCES CLARKE SAYERS IT WAS NOT the twentieth century which saw the beginnings of public libraries for children; that unique and endemi- cally American institution which has played so great a part in the century of the child and won the regard of the nations of the world. The credit for its origins goes to the latter decades of the nineteenth century and to the straws in the wind preceding the 1880's and 1890's which gave promise of the structure to come. There were the apprentice libraries, going back to the time of Benjamin Franklin, which were intended for the use of young men eager to advance their education, But before the existence of child labor laws children were apprenticed at twelve years of age, and for boys, at least, these libraries must have been an incentive to read. In Philadelphia, such a library, founded in 1820, had by 1876 grown to number 21,000 volumes. An Apprentice Library Association of Brooklyn established a Youth's Library in 1823. Boys over twelve years of age were allowed to use it, and once a week, for an hour in the afternoon, girls were admitted.l The Sunday School libraries, limited in scope to religious tracts and books narrowly dedicated to sectarian themes or morbidly dwelling upon sin and the need for salvation, helped to create an atmosphere of expectation, as far as the children were concerned, because they circulated books without fee. The village and town libraries, supported by gifts or endowment and finally attaining the support of the municipality, created a climate of reading, a recognition of the necessity for books.

    JAMES KENDALL HOSMER HDT WHAT? INDEX JAMES KENDALL HOSMER REV. PROF. JAMES K. HOSMER 1635 In Concord, Samuel Swan rented the Wright Tavern to two bakers, Thomas Safford and Deacon Francis Jarvis. According to the Deacon’s son Dr. Edward Jarvis’s TRADITIONS AND REMINISCENCES OF CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS 1779-1878 (as edited by Sarah Chapin and published in 1993 by the U of Massachusetts P): In 1790 my father [Deacon Francis Jarvis] with Thomas Safford took the bake house which was in the building that was the Wright Tavern in the Revolutionary War, opposite the Middlesex House, adjoining the tavern. Soon Mr. Safford went to Lancaster, and my father carried on the business until 1824 and lived in the house until 1832. He then bought and removed to the farm, lately the property of Col. John Buttrick, and lived there until he died in 1840. The farm was occupied by my brother the late Capt. Francis Jarvis until his death in 1875. Since then it has been owned and occupied by his children, Joseph Derby and wife, and Cyrus H. Jarvis. From the early years of his residence in the town my father owned and cultivated lands sufficient for a small farm in the center of Concord until he went to the Buttrick farm. My mother was Millicent Hosmer, daughter of James H[osmer], granddaughter of Stephen and great-granddaughter of Stephen, who were the descendants of James [Hosmer], one of the first settlers in Concord in 1635.
