As the administrator of a large library system undergoing the trauma of dramatic change (as is increasingly common around the country), I think this distinguished group of men and women might better have spent their time asking whether library education is trying to be all things to all people, whether we have too many library schools, whether we are producing too many librarians, whether we should actively recruit Ph.D.s from other dis- ciplines, whether or not we are stressing the mechanics and housekeeping functions of li- brarianship too much, and even, perhaps, whether or not the doctorate in librarianship is a defensibl~ degree for those in practice. cache/crl-13716.pdf txt/crl-13716.txt
