To Honor Our Past: Historical Research, Library History and the Historiographical Imperative: Conceptual Reflections and Exploratory Observations Jean-Pierre V. M. Hérubel HSSE, University Libraries, Purdue University Abstract: This exploratory discussion considers history of libraries, in its broadest context; moreover, it frames the entire enterprise of pursuing history as it relates to LIS in the context of doing history and of doing history vis-à-vis LIS. Is it valuable intellectually for LIS professionals to consider their own history, writing historically oriented research, and what is the nature of this research within the professionalization of LIS itself as both practice and discipline? Necessarily conceptual and offering theoretical insight, this discussion perforce tenders the idea that historiographical innovations and other disciplinary approaches and perspectives can invigorate library history beyond its current condition.

Korean people tried in many ways to establish their own libraries in 20th century. Many library thinkers, intellectuals, and librarians have struggled to build 1 modern libraries in communities or nationwide. Although Korea has a brilliant history of record and print, it has been so hard to establish libraries for the Korean people during last century. The Korean libraries have endured hardships such as Japanese colonialism, Korean War, and military dictatorship. This paper examines the Korean people’s efforts to establish libraries, and it looks into the history of library movement in Korea. And also this paper introduces the recent reading campaigns such as ‘Bookstart’, ‘One Book One City’. With historical lessons suggested in this paper, people may have some insight to make and develop libraries in Korea. 2 1.

    INLS 551: History of Libraries and Other Information-Related Cultural Institutions Fall 2014 – MW, 9:30-10:45 AM. Manning, 214 INSTRUCTOR Ericka Patillo, Lecturer. [email protected]. Office hours: Tuesdays, 11 AM-12 PM, and by appointment, in Manning, rm 306 Course Description: The history of cultural institutions related to information from earliest times to the present day. Includes specific institutions, trends in service and facilities, and individuals important in the development of these institutions. This semester we will focus on the historical development of American librarianship, with special reference to the relationship of library institutions to their contemporary social, economic, cultural and political environments. Key topics and themes: • Intertwined development of different types of American library organizations, such as public libraries, school libraries or media centers, academic libraries, archives, and special or corporate libraries. • Differing attention of libraries and librarians to various American social groups over time, as defined by age/maturity, gender/sexuality, race/ethnicity, occupation/employment, class/wealth, or education/training. • Development of librarianship as a profession, including social, functional, technological, and gender divisions of labor. • Evolution of technologies and techniques for information management within libraries and outside of libraries, from cataloging systems and publishing processes to desktop computers and internet-worked telecommunications. • Relationship of librarianship to other social, cultural, and political-economic processes, especially in the areas of intellectual freedom, social control and censorship, cultural pluralism, democratic principles, lifelong education, and the "free marketplace of ideas." Each class will be structured through a mix of lecture and discussion, with some components led by the professor and some portions the responsibility of students.

VICTIMIZATION IN LIBRARY SCHOOL CLOSING RHETORIC: A RESPONSE TO A LIBRARY QUARTERLY SYMPOSIUM l Stephen P. Foster2 Librarianship continues to witness the closing of its professional schools, includ­ ing the recent elimination of two of its oldest and most prestigious graduate programs. The closures raise important questions about the profession and suggest that critical scrutiny is needed, not only of the processes of change that bring about the closings but also of librarianship's own rhetoric of response to the closings. This article is a critique of the July 1991 Library Quarterly symposium on graduate library school program elimination. It focuses on the rhetoric of three of the symposium articles. From 1978 to 1991 the curtain has dropped on fourteen graduate li­ brary programs in both public and private universities [1, pp.

  • Scope of the Archive Service Accreditation Scheme
    Scope of Archive Service Accreditation Scheme 1. Formal Definitions Records 1.1 „information created, received, and maintained as evidence and information by an organization or person, in pursuance of legal obligations or in the transaction of business‟ (ISO15489-1) Archives 1.2 “Materials created or received by a person, family or organisation, public or private, in the conduct of their affairs and preserved because of the enduring value contained in them or as evidence of the functions and responsibilities of their creator, especially those materials maintained using the principles of provenance, original order and collective control; permanent records.” [our emphasis] (ISO 16175-1:2010) 1.3 Archives may be informal in terms of their format and the ‘business’ to which they relate: for example, a group of love letters may be created and maintained for ‘the conduct of...affairs’ of a personal and private nature. Archive Service 1.4 The word ‘Archives’ is also commonly used to refer to the place or institution where such material is kept. As the word is often misused to refer to mere ‘dumping grounds’ for older records which have ceased to be properly managed, but not yet destroyed, this scheme prefers the term ‘archive service ’, meaning: “An organisation, or part of an organisation, with a remit to manage and promote the preservation and use of archives in its custody” 1.5 Archive Services will normally have custody of the archives of their own parent organisation but may also have custody (but not necessarily ownership) of the archives of other organisations or persons. 1.6 Archive Services must offer some access to their archive collections beyond members of their own institution or organisation to seek formal accreditation under this scheme: however, this need not be their primary function, and may be more limited than services to specific user groups.
