Download or read book Finding Sociology in the Library written by Dennis C. Tucker and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators have often been told that we teach people, not subjects. Yet, if we teach a person a subject, we still have not fulfilled our mission. We must teach him or her how to learn that subject without assistance from us. He or she needs to progress beyond the limit of the teacher's knowledge. A good foundation in research skills is, therefore, an essential part of a good education and one that will last a lifetime. Years of experience both in teaching and library work have shown us that we educators have often failed in teaching research skills. It is the purpose of this book, part of the Library Research Series, to provide instruction in the basic skills necessary for doing research. We are going to look at libraries and how they can be used to the best advantage. We will attempt to offer some basic resources and techniques which can be used by students while in school and later by the graduates in the profession.

Download or read book Foundations of Sociology written by Richard Jenkins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the foundations of sociology - key concepts which are necessary to all sociology, from whatever perspective - have become taken-for-granted and require re-assessment. Focusing on society, culture, the individual, and collectivity, the author builds a powerful case for an overhaul of these basic concepts, offering a unified model of the subject matter of sociology as 'the human world' - understood as individual, interactional and institutional orders - which is part of the 'natural world'. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this is a powerful restatement of the value of sociological sense as a necessary critique of common sense, and its relevance to an audience far beyond academia.

Download or read book The Culture and Control of Expertise written by Michael F. Winter and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-08-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As librarianship expands, the basic questions of librarianship as a profession benefit from more sophisticated discussions found in such works as Michael Winter's The Culture and Control of Expertise. He begins with an excellent analysis of the rise of modern professions and the extended historical debate over librarianship as a profession. . . . Winter's intriguing, if sometimes too complex, discussion of these theories [of the sociology of professionalism] and their application to librarianship ultimately leads him to suggest a composite model that does help establish a general framework for intelligent thinking about who we are and what we do. In a thoughtful concluding chapter Winter suggests further areas of possible research into librarianship as an occupation that deserve our careful attention. Above all Winter is to be congratulated for having breathed new life into what was a tired old topic. Wilson Library Bulletin This volume is intended to change the way librarians think about their work, and indirectly, the way they work. Challenging some dominant modes of thinking, it offers an in-depth examination of the social theory of industrial society, the nature and development of librarianship, and how the sociological study of professions and occupations can be used to understand librarianship. Winter provides schematic models to help in understanding the relevance of different approaches to the professionalization process. He uses a composite model to illustrate an appropriate strategy for understanding how the professionalization process applies to librarianship.

Download or read book Social Justice Design and Implementation in Library and Information Science written by Bharat Mehra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Justice Design and Implementation in Library and Information Science presents a range of case studies that have successfully implemented social justice as a designed strategy to generate community-wide changes and social impact. Each chapter in the collection presents innovative practices that are strategized as intentional, deliberate, systematic, outcome-based, and impact-driven. They demonstrate effective examples of social justice design and implementation in LIS to generate meaningful outcomes across local, regional, national, and international settings. Including reflections on challenges and opportunities in academic, public, school, and special libraries, museums, archives, and other information-related settings, the contributions present forward-looking strategies that transcend historical and outdated notions of neutral stance and passive bystanders. Showcasing the intersections of LIS concepts and interdisciplinary theories with traditional and non-traditional methods of research and practice, the volume demonstrates how to further the social justice principles of fairness, justice, equity/equality, and empowerment of all people, including those on the margins of society. Social Justice Design and Implementation in Library and Information Science will be of great interest to LIS educators, scholars, students, information professionals, library practitioners, and all those interested in integrating social justice and inclusion advocacy into their information-related efforts to develop impact-driven, externally focused, and community-relevant outcomes.

Download or read book Self Examination written by John M. Budd and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes us librarians? What is it we do that is indispensable? John Budd joins an august group of library-science luminaries, such as Pierce Butler, Jesse Shera, and Michael Gorman, whose works and example invite professional and critical self-examination. Here, Budd challenges us to confront the uneasy truth of whether libraries still represent people's will and intellect, or the cabalistic enclaves of an old guard? Through intellectually rich and engaging entrees into ethics, democracy, social responsibility, governance, and globalization, he makes the case that librarians who fail to grasp the importance of their heritage will never truly respond to societal change or the needs of the individual user.
