    Librarian-Obituaries.Pdf

    THE PORTRAYAL OF LIBRARIANS IN OBITUARIES AT THE END OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Juris Dilevko 1 and Lisa Gottlieb 2 Obituaries can reveal much about the way a profession is conceived and structured in the popular imagination. This article examines obituaries of librarians in the New York Times between 1977 and 2002 to determine how librarians were presented to the general public by a major newspaper. Although librarianship is a female- intensive profession, 63.4 percent of the obituaries chronicled the lives of male librarians. Although public and school librarians outnumber their academic coun- terparts, obituaries focused on academic librarians. Far from creating a stereotypical portrait of librarians as shy, dour, dowdy, and sheltered individuals, the emphasis on large-scale achievements in the obituaries produces an image of librarianship as a glamorous profession. Some librarians are presented as sleuths and detectives who amassed large collections. They contributed to the progress of scholarly re- search with extensive publications. Many others had connections to prominent people, making the most of these social networks in their work. Librarians were also players on the global stage, founding libraries abroad and developing inter- national guidelines that led to institutional progress. Emphasis on large-scale ac- complishment, however, tends to obscure the contributions of librarians who daily perform countless small and caring acts that, summed together, positively affect the lives of ordinary individuals. Introduction While it is doubtful that Jane Davies [1], Adolf Placzek [2], Dina Abra- mowicz [3], and Emily Reed [4] met in life, they shared common bonds in death. All four passed away in February–May 2000, and all four were 1.

    U ILL INO I S UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PRODUCTION NOTE University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library Large-scale Digitization Project, 2007. University of Illinois Graduate School of Library Science OCCASIONAL PAPERS Number 71 April 1964 CENTRALIZED PROCESSING. RECENT TRENDS AND CURRENT STATUS: A REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS OF THE LITERATURE by Mary Hanley, Librarian, Catalog Department, University of Minnesota Library, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Centralized processing, in fact, centralization and cooperation at any and every possible point seem to be answers to the great problems facing li- brarians today, such as the rising costs, the selecting and making available of huge quantities of published material, the increasing emphasis on rapid transfer of written information from producers of new knowledge to consumers, and the growing population with a rising level of education and the consequent need for more and better library service. Although centralized processing cannot be considered new (it has actually been in practice in the United States at least since the Library of Congress began to distribute cards just after the turn of the century), it has taken on many new faces in the years since World War II. What had been a spark appears to have become a prairie fire since the passing of the Library Services Act in 1956. New processing centers for public and school libraries have sprung up in nearly every state, either as full-fledged, going concerns or as demonstration projects. These centers vary tremendously as to organiza-

    Priscilla M. Mayden M.L.S. Catching sight at dusk the snowcapped Wasatch Mountains for the first time in September, 1945, Priscilla Mayden wondered what it would be like to live in Salt Lake. Born in Boston September 2, 1918, Priscilla Maltby grew up in the nearby working class town of Stoughton where her parents operated a small business school. Upon graduation from the local high school Priscilla spent a year at her parents’ Maltby School before enrolling at Simmons College. Not knowing that the decision to 100attend Simmons would ultimately determine the arc of her professional career Priscilla entertained thoughts at the time of becoming a writer or journalist. With the country emerging from depression and with war looming on the horizon, Priscilla realized her youthful ambitions would never provide her an adequate living. EHSL Illustration: Gage Baron Simmons had a reputable library school and so in her second year Priscilla transferred into the program. Graduating in 1941 - and saddled with a two-thousand dollar debt from loans secured from her brother and sister - Priscilla accepted a job places that would match her extramural interest. It was during her job search that Priscilla decided to attend a meeting of at the Hartford (Connecticut) Public Library in the Business and Technical Branch where she worked for the next two years. the American Library Association in New York.
