AN INTRODUCTION TO LIBRARY SCIENCE by PIERCE BUTLER. FOREWORD: THE
Graduate Library School of the Uni versity of Chicago was
established in 1926 in response to a desire on the part of many
librarians and organizations interested in education for
librarianship that a library school should be provided in
connection with one of Americas great universities which would de
vote itself to advanced study and investigation in the field of
librarianship. In urging the establishment of such a school its
advocates were impressed with the rapidly in creasing resources of
American libraries and their consequent growing complexity. They
were also convinced of the necessity of providing instruction in
accord with the highest standards of modern scholarship in order
that the most ef fective forms of library organization and admin
istration might be insured. The rapid expansion of public, county,
school, and special libraries al so offered convincing evidence
that the relation ships of these organizations to society and gov
ernment were of such a nature as to require con sideration as
comprehensive and scholarly as that given to the development and
direction of social and economic institutions. The University of
Chicago, in assuming re sponsibility for the development of such a
school, has constantly kept these objectives in mind. Accordingly,
the Graduate Library School, established on this basis, has
undertaken to realize these objectives through the organiza tion of
its curricula, the methods of investiga tion which it employs, and
the correlation of its work with that of other schools and
departments of the University which seem to have something of value
to contribute to the study of librarian ship. The School has also
undertaken the publi cation of the Library Quarterly through which
members of its staff and student body, librari ans, and others may
present the results of inves tigations or record significant
developments in the various fields of library interest. In order to
carry this work further, the School herewith begins the publication
of a series of studies in Library Science in which will appear from
time to time the results of more extensive studies than can
appropriately be presented through the pages of the Library
Quarterly, The present volume, An Introduction to Li brary Science
is the first of these studies to ap pear in the series. It has been
prepared by Dr. Pierce Butler, formerly of the staff of the New
berry Library and now Professor of Bibliograph ical History in the
Graduate Library School. As the title indicates, it is concerned
with the consideration of librarianship as a science. It should be
pointed out, however, that the title will prove misleading if it is
interpreted too liter ally. The volume is not an elementary
handbook which deals with library rules and procedures. On the
contrary, through the essays which con stitute the volume. Dr.
Butler sets forth the es sential nature of science as he conceives
it, and shows how the problems of the modern library as an
important social institution may be studied in accord with its
spirit and methods. In this re spect it reflects the approach made
by the School to librarianship and the attitude assumed by it in
the study and investigation of library prob lems. That many
librarians will not agree that libra rianship can properly be
studied in this way is to be taken for granted. Differences of
opinion on this point have already been expressed and will continue
to be. It is the hope of Dr. Butler and of the School, however,
that while this diversity of opinion will continue to exist, those
who hold such a contrary opinion will accord his presenta tion a
sympathetic hearing...

"Where are all the aliens?" Goes where no book has gone before. In
it you will not find any equations, but you will find scientific
answers to questions such as "What is life?" "Where is life likely
to be found in the Solar System?" "Are there planets suitable for
life outside the Solar System?" "How do you find planets that are
suitable for life outside the Solar System?" "What exoplanets have
already been found?" and "Where does the Human Race go in the
future?" We don't promise that after reading this book you will
know everything about astrobiology, but, you will certainly be able
to hold your own when the after dinner conversations turns to
extraterrestrials.
