Librarians have always served a wider clientele than those we are
expected to serve. In part this is due to our reluctance to question the
status of individuals who come before us and in part it is due to the public
service orientation of most librarians. In college and university libraries
this wider clientele includes people of all ages from the community, former
students, visiting scholars who come to the library and, through
interlibrary loan, many others long distances away. Some librarians would
say that "outreach" is what every good librarian does.

The Third Military Librarians' Workshop ; The Third Military Librarians' Workshop was held at the United States Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, on October 8, 9, and 10, 1959. The program was planned by a committee consisting of Mr. John K. Cameron, Air University Library, Chairman; Miss Frances Carey, Naval War College Library; and Mr. John Nicolas, Bureau of Ships Library. Over one hundred librarians attended and thirty-two papers were presented along with several informal talks. Those presented for publication in the proceedings were prepared in multiple copies by their authors and were assembled, bound and distributed by the Library of the United States Naval Postgraduate School. The greatest gain, however, lies not in hearing the presentation of a series of papers, for these can be read-but rather in the discussions which follow and in the opportunity to find solution to our individual problems through contact with others.

This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of ...

"With the appearance of big data, open data, and particularly research data curation on many libraries' radar screens, data service has become a critically important topic for academic libraries. Drawing on the expertise of a diverse community of practitioners, this collection of case studies, original research, survey chapters, and theoretical explorations presents a wide-ranging look at the field of academic data librarianship. By covering the data lifecycle from collection development to preservation, examining the challenges of working with different forms of data, and exploring service models suited to a variety of library types, this volume provides a toolbox of strategies that will allow librarians and administrators to respond creatively and effectively to the data deluge. Edited by Kristi Thompson and Lynda Kellam, Databrarianship: The Academic Data Librarian in Theory and Practice provides advice and insight on data services for all types of academic libraries and will be of interest to library educators"--
