摘要

迄今为止,关于图书馆事业中女性就业的历史研究绝大多数集中在公共图书馆部门。然而,第一次世界大战后,在个别工业企业的技术图书馆和科学信息局以及合作贸易和工业研究协会中,妇女也出现了一种不同的图书馆职业。妇女在这一领域的就业经历不是由传统图书馆工作的论述和实践所塑造的,而是由工业部门的论述和实践所塑造的。技术图书馆和信息工作是唯一经常任命女性科学毕业生从事的工业部门,但它也吸引了相当数量的男性新兵。本文利用公司档案、Aslib和妇女就业联合会的记录、当代期刊和其他文献等一系列资料来源,探讨了1918年至1960年间从事工业图书馆和信息工作的妇女的地位和角色。它认为,深刻的性别化的工作场所意识形态虽然允许妇女就业,但也限制了妇女就业,但也说明了一些女科学家如何能够抓住这一难得的机会,在极其敌对的工业环境中谈判负责任的职业,并为技术图书馆和信息领域的发展做出有影响力的贡献。本文基于ahrb资助的研究项目“英国早期信息社会,1900-1975”在利兹城市大学信息管理学院进行的研究。感谢Alistair Black和David Muddiman对本工作早期草稿的有益讨论。

Women's Employment in Industrial Libraries and Information Bureaux in Britain, ca. 1918–1960
Abstract Historical studies to date on the employment of women in librarianship have focused overwhelmingly on the public library sector. However, after the First World War, a different kind of library career also emerged for women in the technical libraries and scientific information bureaux of individual industrial enterprises and co-operative trade and industry research associations. Women's employment experiences in this field were shaped not by the discourses and practices of traditional librarianship, but by those of the industrial sector. Technical library and information work was the only branch of industry to which women science graduates were routinely appointed, but it also attracted a significant number of male recruits. Drawing on a range of sources including company archives, the records of Aslib and the Women's Employment Federation, and contemporary periodical and other literature, this paper explores the status and roles of women engaged in industrial library and information work between 1918 and 1960. It argues that deeply gendered workplace ideology restricted even as it permitted women's employment, but also illuminates how some women scientists were able to seize on this rare opening as a means both of negotiating responsible careers in the overwhelmingly hostile industrial environment and of making influential contributions to the development of the technical library and information field. This paper is based on research undertaken for the AHRB-funded research project 'The early information society in Britain, 1900–1975' in the School of Information Management, Leeds Metropolitan University. Thanks to Alistair Black and David Muddiman for helpful discussions on earlier drafts of this work.
