Introduction

Pages 53-60 | Published online: 17 Sep 2012
 

Notes

1. For example, instead of bibliographic control, why not multigraphic control?

2. Young cites a study of library personality types using the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) and not surprisingly most technical service librarians were classified as ‘introverts’. Interestingly, at the time of my reading Young's paper CNN's news website was running a story by Susan Cain in which she discusses how introverts quietly run the world. See http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/18/opinion/cain-introverts-power/index.html?iref=allsearch for a video clip and article. In the article Cain writes “… the more freedom we give introverts to be themselves, the more they’ll dream up their own unique solutions to the problems that bedevil us” (para 17). Cain's book is entitled Quiet: The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking.

3. I doubt it came as a big shock, though, considering the volume of literature advocating for MARC's retirement.

4. In January 2012 at the ALA Midwinter meeting, Dr. Deanna Marcum, only recently retired as Associate Director of Library Services at LC, fittingly asked how Henriette Avram (primary developer of MARC in the 1960s) would view MARC in the age of Google. See http://www.loc.gov/marc/transition/news/minutes-alamw-2012.html.

5. Shera wrote that “the new discipline that is envisaged here (and for which, for want of a better name, Margaret E. Egan originated the phrase, social epistemology) should provide a framework for the investigation of the complex problem of the nature of the intellectual process in society—a study of the ways in which society as a whole achieves a perceptive relation to its total environment.” (Shera, 1972, p. 112)
