In George Bobinski's sixty-year career as a library professional
(1945 - 2005), libraries underwent massive changes and epochal
advancements. In this important work, Bobinski summarizes the major
trends and events that have transformed the library world and the
profession of librarianship into what it is today. Libraries and
Librarianship begins with a historical review of the core of
librarianship, focusing on the information formats available in or
through libraries; the organization of library information sources;
changes in reference service; trends in library management; and the
all-embracing impact of technology on libraries. Bobinski also
addresses library types and the growth of library cooperation and
resource sharing; the spread of collaboration through library
systems, consortia, and networks; federal funding, library
philanthropy, and the important role of the Council on Library and
Information Resources since its establishment in 1956; the growth
and activities of professional library associations; the shifting
roles of gender and ethnicity; and the changes in library
buildings. Furthermore, a list of eminent individuals who had the
greatest impact on the field during this period and influenced the
dramatic changes that have taken place in library and information
science education is included. Concluding with a discussion of the
major developments in the field and providing a look into what the
future might hold for libraries, this book will be embraced by
library students, practitioners, and professors alike.
