Description

WHILE PREPARING COPY FOR THIS ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS THE FOLLOWING amongst the book reviews: In an age when students taking first degrees in library and information studies readily accept the fallacious assertion from some writers (who should know better) that pre-internet librarians were merely book keepers, there is even more need for our profession to record its own history. Although library history has (like the history of other professional services) largely disappeared from current curricula, and information history, has hardly begun to be explored, we do have a responsibility to society at large to record and publish information about ourselves. It is strange that members of a profession which is emphasising its informational role seem reluctant to seek out information on their own professional origins and development. [Edward Reid-Smith, reviewing Dictionary of American library biography. Second supplement. Ed. by Donald G Davis, Jr Westport, CT: Libraries Unlimited, 2003. 250p US$60.00 hard ISBN 1563088681]
