Descript 1 online resource (xv, 79 p.) : ill.
Note Includes index.
Contents What is meant by "the philosophy of librarianship" -- The lack of a coherent philosophy of librarianship -- Definition of librarianship -- The ultimate aims of libraries.
Note André Cossette's Humanism and Libraries is a concise but rigorous investigation into the foundations of librarianship, its definition and its aims. Philosophical and logical in its approach, it is intended to provide solid ground and unity for professional practice. Though the work was originally published in French in 1976 in Quebec by ASTED, Library Juice Press has found it to have enduring relevance and value, and has therefore made this English translation. The book includes a preface that makes the case for reading a work from the 1970s on library philosophy, and a set of questions for reflection following the text.
Text in English, translated from French.
