UCLA's commitment to integrating information science and librarianship began early with its first Masters of Library Science degree awarded in 1961 and its first Masters of Science degree awarded in 1966. Since 1972-73 it has offered a two year MLS program which requires students to identify an area of special interest and to prepare a…

Previously reported methods for the compilation of core lists of journals in multidisciplinary areas are first examined, with toxicology used as an example of such an area. Three approaches to the compilation of a core list of journals in toxicology were undertaken and the results analyzed with the aid of models. Analysis of the results of the…

The growth of libraries and of technical education in the middle of the 19th century led to the organization of Melvil Dewey's School of Library Economy in 1887. The School offered a technical course to replace the apprenticeships then in favor. Its curriculum persisted as the model for library education through 1920. A break with the early form…

In an attempt to import some concepts from general systems theory to the theory of librarianship, basic elements in the theory of librarianship were identified, interrelated in a form of a static model, and projected into a possible, dynamic pattern of change. (Author/LS)

Thirty-five accredited library schools responded to a questionnaire distributed in 1974 to collect comparable data on library collections, personnel, and budgets.

Unless otherwise specified, the entries are films. The citations were found in various general bibliographies. Annotations are presented as given in the various bibliographic…

To increase a deep continuous stream of library research, the following steps are recommended: (1) expand present research activities in library schools, libraries, and professional associations; (2) add evaluative measures to library "demonstrations" set up as a part of state plans for library development; (3) sponsor experimental…

This manual serves as a guide to the organization of library collections for Ball State University students in the graduate school of library science.

While attention at this conference was directed primarily to planning a library for a small school (an elementary division of 150 and a junior high and high school of up to 200), the ideas and considerations have relevance to the planning of any school library. Conclusions drawn from the sessions are presented in regard to--(1) divisions of…

An attempt is made in this paper to characterize, and identify some of the basic issues in library research which require resolution. DeProspo's primary purpose is to suggest some of the reasons which lead to the conclusion that much of the research effort in librarianship, the objective of which has been to influence library policy, has been…

This survey of consumers of research was conducted in support of the question, "Is there a need for a journal of library research?" As a supporting document it may provide the background against which individuals or groups may, for their own purpose, begin to formulate an answer to the question. Thus the scope of the study is to collect and…
