HOULAHAN RURALPUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICE is a distinct, important, and complex problem that affects large segments of the United States population but has lacked the attention and examination of the library community. Allie Beth Martin wrote in 1972, “Rural public library service has been largely overshadowed by urban-suburban crises in recent years.”’ Three-quarters of a decade later, rural libraires and rural public library service are still being neglected and overlooked by scholars and decision- makers, and the national library press and literature. -

June 2002 Vol. 12 No. 6 MORE GUIDELINES for PUBLIC
MORE GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY TRUSTEES By Philip Ritter Now that I have completed all of my visits with the various Boards of Trustees in the Upper Hudson Library System, I would like to comment further on how public library trustees should conduct their library’s business. You may recall that I addressed this subject in the October 2001 newsletter when I suggested that all library boards and trustees should adhere to the following guidelines: • A trustee should never act alone. • A trustee should always agree publicly with all board decisions. • A trustee should not be involved in the daily operation of the library. • A trustee should deal with the issue instead of the individual. • The library director should be present at each board meeting. The Latest Edition is a regularly published newsletter for the I encourage you to review that article and to consider these additional and public libraries in Albany and equally important guidelines which all library boards and trustees should Rensselaer Counties. follow: • A trustee should promote a high level of library service while observing EDITOR high ethical standards. A trustee especially must avoid situations in Rachel Baum which personal interests might be served or financial benefits gained at the expense of the library, other trustees, and library users. MANAGING EDITOR • A trustee should monitor the financial condition and management Heidi Fuge practices of the library. This would include the diligent review of all Upper Hudson Library System financial reports, the verification that reserve funds are being used for 28 Essex St. their intended purposes, and the assurance that all records are complete Albany, NY 12206 and accurate. -

Developments in the Planning of Main Library Buildings
Developments in the Planning of Main Library Buildings HA!RRY N. PETERSON THEREQUIREMENTS for a main library building are determined by the nature and scope of the public library service to be performed. This, in turn, depends upon such factors as population served-its size, distribution and growth trends; educational level of the library’s clientele and its future potential; geographic characteristics- location, topography, and natural and man-made barriers; other educa- tional and cultural facilities available; and business, industrial or other economic activity. These elements help shape the objectives, scope, and organization of the service and thus influence the size and design of the main library and other facilities required to meet present and future needs. As stated in the ALA Minimum Standards for Public Library System, 1966,“Fundamentally, a library is not a building but a service organization. The pattern of service to be rendered in a specific com- munity will determine the nature of its physical facilities; there is no standard building plan for public library operation.”1 Continuing urbanization represents both an opportunity and a chaI- lenge for large public libraries. The changes that have taken place within the core cities in recent years have created new demands and necessitated modifications in programs which have often increased work loads even though the population may have declined. At the same time, the growing area population looks to the central library of the core city for specialized services and materials to supplement those available in their local libraries. In this connection, an observation made by Ralph Shaw over ten years ago still applies today: While it is possible and necessary to provide some of the services pro- vided by libraries close to and 8s an integral part of each neighborhood, Harry N. -
Continuing Education for Library Staffs in the Southwest; a Survey and Recommendations
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 119 621 IR 003 080 AUTHOR Martin, Allie Beth; Duggan, Maryann TITLE Continuing Education for Library Staffs in the Southwest; A Survey and Recommendations. INSTITUTION Texas Univ., Austin. Graduate School of Library Science. SPONS AGENCY Southwestern Library Association, Stillwater, Okla. PUB DATE 75 NOTE 157p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.83 HC-$8.69 Plus Postage DESCRIPTORS Interinstitutional Cooperation; *Librarians; Library Cooperation; *Library Education; Library Surveys; Library Technicians; *Professional Continuing Education; Program Planning; Questionnaires; Regional Programs IDENTIFIERS CELS; Continuing Education for Library Staffs Southwest ABSTRACT In 1973 a study was made to determine needs and objectives for Continuing Education for Library Staffs in the Southwest (CELS). First background information was gathered on the expressed needs for the study and on activities at the national and regional levels as well as in library schools and other professions. Then a questionnaire was administered to a sampling of state library agencies, library associations, library schools, and individual libraries. The questionnaire was designed to help determine patterns of existing continuing education activities, identify major needs, and develop a program to meet regional needs. Analysis of the data showed that continuing library education programs were fragmented and without coordination. Specific needs were identified, along with some barriers to effective coordinated programs. The major recommendation growing from the study was that the Southwest Library Association assume responsibility for developing a continuing education program for the library community in the Southwest cooperatively with state, regional, and national groups; library schools; employing institutions; and individuals. This program was developed in great detail and many of its components have been put into operation. -

Virtue Ethics and the Narrative Identity of American Librarianship 1876 To
VIRTUE ETHICS AND THE NARRATIVE IDENTITY OF AMERICAN LIBRARIANSHIP 1876 TO PRESENT by JOHN TIMOTHY FREEDOM BURGESS BETH S. BENNETT, COMMITTEE CHAIR HEIDI E. JULIEN STEVEN L. MACCALL UTZ L. MCKNIGHT CHARLES B. OSBURN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Communication and Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright John Timothy Freedom Burgess 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to propose a means of reconciling the competing ideas of library and information science's identity, thereby strengthening professional autonomy. I make the case that developing a system of virtue ethics for librarianship would be an effective way to promote that reconciliation. The first step in developing virtue ethics is uncovering librarianship's function. Standard approaches to virtue ethics rely on classical Greek ideas about the nature of being to determine function. Since classical ideas of being may no longer be persuasive, I introduce another approach to uncover librarianship's function that still meets all of the criteria needed to establish a foundation for a system of virtue ethics. This approach is hermeneutical phenomenology, the philosophical discipline of interpreting the meaning given to historical events. Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic circle technique and Paul Ricoeur's theory of narrative intelligence are used to engage in a dialogue with three crises in the history of American librarianship. These pivotal events are the fiction question, librarian nationalism during World War I, and the dispute between supporters of the "Library Bill of Rights" and social responsibility.
