The Historical Perspectives SIG invites all
ALISE attendees to join the Historical
Perspectives SIG Friday morning at 8:30am as it
presents: Innovations and Competing Perspectives
in the Development of Librarianship in the US
(AKA Something Innovative Happened on the Way to
Modern Librarianship) in the Las Palmas Room.

Past practices, both innovative and competitive,
have shaped modern librarianship. In this
session three examples will be examined. Emily
Knox will present competing reading effects
models, Ellen Rubenstein will examine libraries'
innovative responses to health information
needs, and Sean Burns introduces an early
example of library automation adoption.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE SIG Members and
interested prospective members, please join us
for the planning meeting at 7:30am in the
Terrazza Ballroom.
