| Abstract | "Librarianship may be said to be facing an identity crisis. It may also be said that librarianship has been facing an identity crisis since it was proposed as a profession. With the advent of technology that lowers barriers to the access of information, the mission of a library has become indistinct. This volume will explore the current purpose of librarianship and libraries: how we become "Masters of our Domains," develop expertise in various elements of the profession, and how we extend outward into our communities"--Back cover. |
