  • The Librarian
    The Librarian RALPH MUNN DURINGTHE COURSE of the Public Library In- quiry Robert D. Leigh and his associates discovered that there is a strong basic belief among librarians which has inspired and sustained them through the years. Leigh isolated and defined this belief, calling it "the librarian's faith." He defined it as "a belief in the virtue of the printed word, especially of the book, the reading of which is held to be good in itself, or from its reading flows that which is good." l Although librarians may never have reduced this belief to a formal statement or thought of it as a faith, it is a principal part of their heritage. The librarian of 1954 wishes to accept this traditional faith of his fathers, but like the modern theologian he is disturbed by gnawing doubts. He has learned just enough from research to want some demonstrable facts to support his faith. Is there virtue in all reading? Is the reading of a light novel of more value than viewing its televised dramatization? Can the individual reader drain a book of its meaning, or must he match his reactions with those of others in a discussion group? What are the actual effects of reading upon the various categories of people? Though he lacks positive answers to these questions, the librarian still follows in the faith despite his doubts. Today, as in the past, he believes that there is virtue in the printed word-and in its audio- visual counterparts-and he acts upon it. It is still the determining factor in his decisions; it inspires him in his work, bringing to it a strong sense of social significance.

  • The Education of Academic Librarians
    l I The Education of Academic Librarians John Budd Progress in education for academic librarianship has been hindered by an adherence to train­ ing, rather than to graduate education. While recommendations from within and outside the profession have urged the upgrading of education, developments have been slow in coming. All of librarianship should share a common core curriculum, but the complexities of academic Ii­ brarianship (and the environment in which academic libraries operate) point to subject and functional specializations necessary for some personnel. Education for academic librarianship should prepare students for the roles they are to assume within the community of higher educa- tion. · n 1887, when Melvil Dewey es­ nature of the collections of these libraries tablished at Columbia Univer­ is different, as are the kinds and depth of sity the first school designed to services and the manner in which they are educate librarians, the course of provided.
