Description

A Chronology of Librarianship, 1960-2000 continues the work of Josephine Smith in her original Chronology of Librarianship (Scarecrow, 1968). It updates and completes her work up to 2000, paying special attention to the progress made on technological and international fronts that have significantly altered the role and function of the librarian, especially the rise of the internet in the 1990s. The ramifications of this new level of global connectedness and of the new role of the librarian are of primary concern for author Jeffrey M. Wilhite. This book covers all areas of library literature that inform the history of librarianship and ranges over multiple continents. Its broad scope lends itself to wide use by scholars and students of library history and library literature. The chronology is presented in a dictionary format and separated into decades. It is complemented by a comprehensive bibliography and name index. Review Important to the volume are the impacts of technological advances and globalization on the role and function of the librarian.--Reference and Research Book News (11/01/2009) Josephine Smith's Chronology of Librarianship, published in 1968, covered the field from the first century C.E. to 1959. Jeffrey M. Wilhite's Chronology of Librarianship: 1960-2000, starts up where Smith left off. Each year's treatment is arranged by category ("Contemporary Events," "ALA," "Library of Congress," etc.). Just about anything that might be of interest in the library world is included. For each event, Wilhite supplies a one-or two- sentence description and a source.-- (10/01/2009) The author should be commended for his remarkable diligence and rigor in locating such eclectic information.--Booklist (10/01/2009) This book is a "must" purchase for every institution in the United States that teaches library and information studies. It would also be a valuable acquisition for reference departments in public and in some special libraries.-- (03/01/2010) About the Author Jeffrey M. Wilhite is associate professor of bibliography and government documents reference librarian at the University of Oklahoma. He is a co-author of International Biographical Directory of National Archivists, Documentalists, and Librarians, 2nd ed. (Scarecrow, 2000).
