What makes us librarians? What is it we do that is indispensable?
John Budd joins an august group of library-science luminaries, such
as Pierce Butler, Jesse Shera, and Michael Gorman, whose works and
example invite professional and critical self-examination. Here,
Budd challenges us to confront the uneasy truth of whether
libraries still represent people's will and intellect, or the
cabalistic enclaves of an old guard? Through intellectually rich
and engaging entrees into ethics, democracy, social responsibility,
governance, and globalization, he makes the case that librarians
who fail to grasp the importance of their heritage will never truly
respond to societal change or the needs of the individual user.
