Book Reviews 1974-09-01 3 .pdf application/pdf 2003 98 57 The twenty-nine papers published here are presented under six headings, each representing an area of librarianship in which Dr. Shera has been a major in- fluence: philosophy of librarianship, li- brary history, reference work in the li- brary, documentation, the academic li- brary, and library education. An appendix devoted to an in-depth study of education for library manage- ment concludes that: in Britain and, to a lesser extent, the United States this aspect of library education needs considerable strengthening; games such as that de- scribed are most suited to specialized courses for experienced librarians but there is a place for similar ones in first- level courses; and a larger proportion of the profession needs to comprehend the concepts put forward in this and other studies before better management tech- niques will be applied to libraries. cache/ital-8954.pdf txt/ital-8954.txt
