Preparing to enter this fast-paced world of practice, LIS students may feel they have little time to study library history. I would suggest, however, that an understanding of our past is an integral part of our professional culture. The history of our institutions and of our predecessors is our intellectual endowment, a strategic asset, essential to our shared professional identity and continued strength. Lacking historical perspective, our students may not see what is unique and important about the work of libraries and librarians. Without the context that history provides, they may fail to understand the professional nature of librarianship, its contribution to society, and the values for which it stands. In preparing future professionals, our LIS programs provide students with technical know-how, inculcate them with a commitment to service, and equip them with an ethical compass. When we are threatened by an overemphasis on one or another of these elements, historical examples can help us right the balance among civic obligation, technological expertise, and ethical practice—three central aspects of “profession.” 1 My own exploration of American librarianship from 1926 to 1956 suggests how our history can serve as an essential component of professional education and a continuing source of lessons and examples to guide future practitioners. It examines an era of social and technological change much like our own. As today, librarians struggled to define their role amidst competition from new media and information providers. This period witnessed the transformation of America from a rural to an urban and suburban nation, the economic dislocation of the Great Depression, the political upheavals of World War II and the cold war, and the growing popularity of film, radio, and television.

The essays in Information Ethics in the Electronic Age originated as presentations at the “Ethics of Electronic Information in the 21st Century” symposium in 2002. They deal with the very serious ways in which, as editor Tom Mendina describes it, “information and information technology often seem to exceed, even contradict or oppose, the purposes of their creators” (2). In the pieces in section 1, “Africa,” these confl icts are invariably politically fraught: the commercial use of Indigenous knowledge in developing countries; the right of access to information for all; linking developing countries with the outside world; and the lack of infrastructure to support Internet development. Sections 2 and 3, “Information Organizations and the Handling of Information” and “Information Issues in the Post-Nine-Eleven World,” return to the more familiar territory of cybercrime, copyright, privacy, and educating information professionals about ethics and the electronic environment. Two thought-provoking contributions (curiously placed in different sections) are Douglas Raber’s “Is Universal Service a Universal Right?” and Alistair S. Duff’s “For a New Nanny State.” Both bring earlier discussions of civil liberties and responsibilities to bear on present-day issues.","PeriodicalId":81853,"journal":{"name":"Libraries & culture","volume":"41 1","pages":"414 - 415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/lac.2006.0045","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66799191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To Represent Us Truly: The Job and Context of Preserving the Cultural Record 真实地代表我们:保存文化记录的工作和背景

The earliest libraries were really archives of government documents, includ ing the records of rituals that kings performed to assure the favor of the gods. Those documents made up the collections of the first libraries in Mesopotamia, dating to about 1500 bc, and of the classics on which Chinese civilization has rested for more than three thousand years. Historians rely on the government records preserved in those librar ies and classical works?truly they are anthologies?to reconstruct the ancient cultures that produced them. For them, government records are cultural records. They still are, but when we moderns talk about the cultural record, we have in mind a much broader range of cultural productions than those produced by government, even a government that had religious as well as secular functions. The word \"culture\" now calls forth notions of social class and func tion. We speak of political cultures, of the arts, of social practices, and of mentalites, to borrow a useful French term. We speak of high-, middle-, and low-brow culture. To a significant extent \"culture\" has become a weapon of mass distinctions of the social sort, and in the United States the reaction of some people to the word is a product of our egalitarian ism and populism. The word bears the burden of what its user thinks of academics, of aesthetes, of modern artists and composers, of all those big-city folk who don't think life exists beyond the city limits?or, con versely, of blue-collar workers, rural folks, and Lawrence Welk and his musical descendants. The William and Margaret Kilgarlin Center for Preservation of the Cultural Record must establish a meaning for the term culture in order to organize and carry out its work. Its definition of the word must sail above social and political value judgments and find a meaning that is broader than one that only denotes the arts or the peculiar mores of","PeriodicalId":81853,"journal":{"name":"Libraries & culture","volume":"41 1","pages":"372 - 380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LAC.2006.0040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66798404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
