[EAN: 9780963489814], [PU: Palo Verde Press, Grand Terrace:], Limited edition of 500 copies. From Library Journal (review): "What an interesting treatise Briscoe (associate university librarian, collection development, Univ. of California, Riverside) presents for professional librarians! In the esteemed tradition of legendary pamphleteers, Briscoe advances his philosophical framework of librarianship, which challenges equally those genuinely aspiring to the highest professional standards as well as the "technocrats" who pride themselves on their voluminous listings of citations that flash across their screen. His codification is structured on a mapped model to understand any library collection and, most importantly, on his fervent plea for librarians to be worthy of their name by becoming knowledgeable, tenacious readers (real readers) of books (real books). While certainly a highly personal perspective of what ought to be the characteristics that any librarian would uphold, alas, with his own admission that "many librarians do not even have reading on their list of things to do," we might still have some work ahead of us. Briscoe's conceptual map of knowledge includes the index that identifies and locates other works, the encyclopedia of reference works that summarize other works, the canon that embodies the current state of knowledge, and the archive that consists of all other works. This map and Briscoe's entreaty to read, in order to become critical thinkers, support the ageless philosophy of Mortimer Adler (How To Read a Book) and the contemporary work of Harold Bloom (How To Read and Why). Required reading for all MLIS students and librarians searching for meaning in their chosen discipline. Highly recommended. Dale Farris, Groves, TX Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc."
