"The Greatest Librarians of the World...Were Not Graduates of Library School."
Bak, Greg
Libraries & Culture, v37 n4 p363-78 Fall 2002
Lacking a regional library school in the 1930s, librarians of the Maritime Library Institute (MLI) did not view themselves as inferior to the "trained librarians" of central Canada, but crafted a professional identity through mutual support and shared expertise. This essay discusses creation of the MLI; transforming the Maritime Library Association (MLA); defining professional credentials; and professional development and professional identity in the Maritimes.
