American Libraries Before 1876
Author: Haynes McMullen
Publisher: Praeger
ISBN: 031331277X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
1876 is considered to mark the beginning of the modern library movement in the United States, but Americans created and used thousands of libraries before that date. While the history of American libraries has not been neglected by scholars, none has examined in detail where in the different parts of the country various libraries came into existence over any extended period of time. The present work does that, detailing the kinds of libraries that existed before 1876 and including 80 to 85 kinds, depending on the way the collections are classified.

Forbidden Books in American Public Libraries, 1876-1939
Author: Evelyn Geller
Publisher: Praeger
ISBN: 9780313238086
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
This study traces the way in which the librarian as the guardian of the freedom to read came to replace the librarian as moral censor. This shift in ideology is traced against a backdrop of major social and literary changes. Within this context, censorship is treated as part of a broader professional ideology of book selection. Geller treats that ideology in terms of three constant dilemmas of choice: populism vs. elitism, neutrality vs. advocacy, and freedom vs. censorship. By exploring the ways in which librarians as public servants have defined their selection policies in terms of the public interest, she sheds new light on the complex historical background and shifting social values that underlie contemporary policy alternatives.
