The Literature of American Library History, 2003–2005 Abstract A number of years have elapsed since publication of the last essay of this sort, so this one will cover three years of historical writings on American librarianship, 2003–5, instead of the usual two. We will have to see whether this new method becomes the norm or will ultimately be considered an aberration from the traditional approach. I do know that several years ago Donald G. Davis, Jr., and Michael Harris covered three years (1971–73) in their essay, and we all survived the experience. In preparing this essay I discovered that when another year of coverage is added the volume of writings to cover also grows impressively. A conservative estimate places the number of books and articles published in the years under review at more than two hundred items.

Abstract This dissertation uses a feminist cultural materialist approach that draws on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Luce Irigaray to examine the neglected genre of postwar-Cold War American teen girl romance novels, which I call “female junior novels.” Written between 1942 and the late 1960s by authors such as Betty Cavanna, Maureen Daly, Anne Emery, Rosamond du Jardin, and Mary Stolz, these texts create a kind of hieroglyphic world, where possession of the right dress or the proper seat in the malt shop determines a girl’s place within an entrenched adolescent social hierarchy.

Emphasis on evaluation, selection, and recreational or curricular use in school and public libraries. Children’s literature is at the heart of what we do as youth librarians. We base programming, provide services, and create living collections using it. Taking this class will give you an overview of this very extensive field, and you will be exposed to important authors, genres, trends, and titles that will serve you the rest of your careers. On a more practical note, every children’s librarian’s job requires this knowledge, so you are making yourself more employable by taking the class. There is a separate young adult resources and services class so we will restrict ourselves to considering literature for children from birth through the young side of age twelve. Young adult and adult titles are outside the bounds of our class. Texts for the Course Required Texts • Bang, Molly. 2016. Picture This: How Pictures Work.

  • MOBILIZING RESEARCH EVIDENCE for EARLY LITERACY PROGRAMS in PUBLIC LIBRARIES by Rosamund K
    UNDER OUR OWN UMBRELLA: MOBILIZING RESEARCH EVIDENCE FOR EARLY LITERACY PROGRAMS IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES by Rosamund K. Stooke & Pamela J. McKenzie critical perspective on evidence is taken as axiomatic in the practice of librarianship. MLIS students are schooled in techniques for evaluating information sources; policymakers, program developers, practitioners, and LIS educators are encouraged to base decisions on a solid Afoundation of research evidence; practitioners are urged to provide library users with a range of sources from which to choose. Rarely, however, are critical questions asked about the nature of research evidence, the purposes for which research evidence is mobilized and the political, economic, social, and material consequences that may attend privileging one form of evidence over another. The article seeks to raise such questions. First we discuss how research and evidence have been mobilized in professional literature for children’s services librarians working in public libraries and in children’s services librarians’ actual activities and talk about their support of children’s early literacy. We then consider the forms of evidence being used by children’s services librarians and ask what interests are served by the use or non- use of particular forms of evidence. Finally we identify implications of our findings. We argue, as does John Budd (2006), that more is at stake than which methods or studies are most effective. We argue too that consequences attend the selection of research evidence, and that the choice of research evidence has implications – often unexpected and sometimes negative -- for public libraries and for their users and staff. Indeed, we seek to demonstrate that the privileging of one form of evidence over others does not further the public library’s democratic mission and may well undermine children’s services librarians’ efforts to advocate for library services.

  • Application of Ranganathan's Laws to the Web
    Webology, Volume 1, Number 2, December, 2004 Home Table of Contents Titles & Subject Index Authors Index Application of Ranganathan's Laws to the Web Alireza Noruzi Department of Information Science, University of Tehran, Iran Received November 5, 2004; Accepted December 3, 2004 Abstract This paper analyzes the Web and raises a significant question: "Does the Web save the time of the users?" This question is analyzed in the context of Five Laws of the Web. What do these laws mean? The laws are meant to be elemental, to convey a deep understanding and capture the essential meaning of the World Wide Web. These laws may seem simplistic, but in fact they express a simple, crystal-clear vision of what the Web ought to be. Moreover, we intend to echo the simplicity of Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science which inspired them. Keywords World Wide Web, Ranganathan's laws, Five Laws of Library Science Introduction The World Wide Web is an Internet system that distributes graphical, hyperlinked information, based on the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). The Web is the global hypertext system providing access to documents written in a script called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) that allows its contents to be interlinked, locally and remotely. The Web was designed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva (Noruzi, 2004). We live in exciting times. The Web, whose history spans a mere dozen years, will surely figure amongst the most influential and important technologies of this new century. The information revolution not only supplies the technological horsepower that drives the Web, but fuels an unprecedented demand for storing, organizing, disseminating, and accessing information.
