The high point of attacks upon the New York Public Library came during the years 1947-1954, a period that witnessed the Soviet atomic bomb, the Berlin airlift, and the Korean War. This article charts the narrow and carefully wrought trail blazed by the library‘s leadership during that period. Through a reading of materials in the library archives, we see how political pressures were perceived and handled by library management and staff. We witness remarkable examples of brave defense of intellectual freedom alongside episodes of prudent equivocation. At the heart of the library‘s situation stood the contradictions between the principled commitments of individual library leaders and the practical political considerations underlying the library‘s viability.

  • At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin: a Brief History of the Library Company of Philadelphia
    At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin: A Brief History of The Library Company of Philadelphia On July 1, 1731, Benjamin Franklin and a number of his fellow members of the Junto drew up "Articles of Agreement" to found a library. The Junto was a discussion group of young men seeking social, economic, intellectual, and political advancement. When they foundered on a point of fact, they needed a printed authority to settle the divergence of opinion. In colonial Pennsylvania at the time there were not many books. Standard English reference works were expensive and difficult to obtain. Franklin and his friends were mostly mechanics of moderate means. None alone could have afforded a representative library, nor, indeed, many imported books. By pooling their resources in pragmatic Franklinian fashion, they could. The contribution of each created the book capital of all. Fifty subscribers invested forty shillings each and promised to pay ten shillings a year thereafter to buy books and maintain a shareholder's library. Thus "the Mother of all American Subscription Libraries" was established. A seal was decided upon with the device: "Two Books open, Each encompass'd with Glory, or Beams of Light, between which water streaming from above into an Urn below, thence issues at many Vents into lesser Urns, and Motto, circumscribing the whole, Communiter Bona profundere Deum est." This translates freely: "To pour forth benefits for the common good is divine." The silversmith Philip Syng engraved the seal. The first list of desiderata to stock the Tin Suggestion shelves was sent to London on March 31, 1732, and by autumn that Box, ca.

    © 2015 Caroline Marie Nappo LIBRARIES AND THE SYSTEM OF INFORMATION PROVISION IN THE 1930s’ UNITED STATES: THE TRANSFORMATION OF TECHNOLOGY, ACCESS, AND POLICY BY CAROLINE MARIE NAPPO DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus Dan Schiller, Chair and Director of Research Professor Alistair Black Associate Professor Christine Jenkins Professor Emerita Joanne Passet, Indiana University East ABSTRACT Examination of developments in technology, access, and policy reveals that American librarianship and the wider system of information provision underwent profound and far- reaching changes—a transformation—during the 1930s. With regard to technology, the 1930s saw the widespread adoption of microfilm, heralded by its advocates as a revolutionary tool that would transform information preservation and dissemination. The number of outlets for library services increased markedly as information was brought to more people, often in creative ways, and on an enlarged scale. Finally, policymaking for libraries, and information provision more broadly, assumed greater prominence. New federal agencies were established, new statistical series offered, and existing information programs were expanded. Librarianship has a long history of critical engagement in times of crisis. Using archival, primary, and secondary sources, I examine the 1930s using the system of information provision as a lens. While the 1930s’ US has been well-traversed by many scholars, no one has foregrounded the system of information provision as a site of transformation. I consider the system in its entirety, using technology, access, and policy as the key vectors of evidence of this transformation.

  • The Armed Services Editions and American Print Culture, 1943-1947
    Alexander H. Poole. “As Popular as Pin-Up Girls:” The Armed Services Editions and American Print Culture, 1943-1947. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April, 2009. 121 pages. Advisor: Barbara B. Moran. During the Second World War, the United States government collaborated with American publishers to provide servicemen with unprecedented access to reading material. Between 1943 and 1947, the Armed Services Editions project supplied 1,322 titles and nearly 123 million books in all genres, from classics to westerns. Using both primary and secondary sources, the following essay probes the interplay between culture and society, home front and theaters of war, as viewed through the lens of the Armed Services Editions. The project provides a case study, in short, through which to analyze what historians Carl Kaestle and Janice Radway call “print culture” between 1943 and 1947. The Armed Service Editions initiative reveals not only changes in modern book publishing and in modern book reading, but also documents larger trends in modern American culture, notably the ascendance of “middlebrow” culture during the second quarter of the twentieth century. Ultimately, the Armed Services Editions represent a valuable—yet often overlooked—chapter in American cultural history. Headings: Books and reading—United States—History—20th century. Popular culture—United States—History—20th century. World War, 1939-1945—United States. Literature—Appreciation—United States—History—20th century. Middle class—United States—History—20th century. Self-culture—History—20th century. “AS POPULAR AS PIN-UP GIRLS”: THE ARMED SERVICES EDITIONS AND AMERICAN PRINT CULTURE, 1943-1947 by Alexander H.

It is an economy necessitated by substantial deficits in the conference budgets, to which the publi­ cation of proceedings must be charged. The proceedings are a perquisite of membership. Copies are being mailed to all institu­ tional members, but the undersigned committee felt that distribu­ tion to individual members should be determined in this instance by request. By so doing, it seemed more than likely that substan­ tial savings could be effected and at the same time the needs of the membership be met. Consequently it was announced in the ALA Bulletin that all members so requesting would receive copies upon publication. Because of some uncertainty regarding the publication of these proceedings, reports of some conference meetings were not sub­ mitted. All material received, however, has been used, with a minimum of editing. Committee on Annual Publications Cora M. Beatty Ransom L. Richardson Leo M.
