"I shall try to develop in this paper a rationale for library education
that will, I hope, have a direct bearing on certain major issues
that have been of concern to the profession for perhaps half a century.
These issues are reflected in questions such as:
How much of the work performed by librarians really requires
professional education; are professional librarians
used effectively ?
Is it practical to expect library education to deal in depth
with subject specialities?
If subject depth is acquired at the undergraduate level, let
us say in chemistry, can the library profession hope to
attract the better students, or is it more likely to
attract those who have been unsuccessful in coping with
their initially chosen specialty? That is, do not those
who do well in chemistry usually become chemists ?
What undergraduate specialty does indeed constitute the
best preparation for graduate study in librarianship ?
Is there a science underlying ""library science""?
What does all this have to do with automation and data
processing?"
