Reflections on the Heritage of Librarianship: Carleton B. Joeckel, Frontpiece

Research output: Working paperPreprint

Abstract

The development of librarianship in the United States can be viewed with many lenses, but one method is a reflection on two awards bestowed by the American Library Association that recognize outstanding achievement and service. These are Honorary Membership and the Joseph W. Lippincott Award.Examined together these two awards, both requiring a nomination and jury process, may be viewed as guideposts to the development of librarianship in the United States as perceived by the members of the Association.
