Colleagues,

Only three weeks remain! Please submit a paper to the InSITE 2011 conference by November 30.  It  is being held in Novi Sad (New Garden), Serbia this June. 

Even if you will not be submitting a paper this year, please volunteer to review 3 papers this December. (See http://volunteer.InSITE.nu for details.)

Why Novi Sad (the Garden City)?  Novi Sad is known as the cultural capital of Serbia because of the variety of museums, galleries, and events. Its center has a large pedestrian zone, filled with shops and outdoor cafés.  It is safe to walk any time of day or night. The city is on the banks of the Danube, and is renowned as having the second best river beach in Europe; many restaurants overlooking the river. The conference banquet will be held at one of these restaurants. In addition to the paper sessions, we are offering a day trip to Belgrade, a day trip to the area around Novi Sad, and a half-day walking tour of the city.

The conference host and co-organizer, the Higher Education Technical School of Professional Studies, Novi Sad, is dedicated to continuing the InSITE tradition of a collegial, supportive atmosphere in which to share your research and network with other delegates from around the world. The school is in the city center, a short walk from the conference hotels. We have obtained substantial discounts at three hotels on the pedestrian zone of the city center. (Please see below.)

Novi Sad is about an hour drive from the Belgrade airport, and we have arranged for frequent transportation from the airport to your hotel for $15 per person each way. Novi Sad can also be reached by bus or train from many cities, as well as by car.

Please submit a paper by November 30 and join us in Novi Sad this June. Please also share information about the conference with your colleagues. The call for papers can be downloaded from http://www.InSITE.nu/docs/2011CFP.pdf, details about the conference are on the web at http://insite.nu/.  Paper submissions are accepted now through November 30, 2010.

Papers typically undergo blind review by 4 or more reviewers.  All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings.  Selected papers will be fast-tracked for publication in the journals Informing Science, Journal of Information Technology Education, Interdisciplinary Journal of E-Learning and Learning Objects, Interdisciplinary Journal of Doctoral Studies, Interdisciplinary Journal of Information, Knowledge, and Management, or the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology.

Affordable Fees and Hotel Prices.  InSITE endeavors to make its conference affordable.  Here are some preliminary pricing for those making their budget requests now. 

 ·         Accommodations: The conference discounted room rates start at 25 Euros per night for a single room with breakfast.  We have secured rooms at three hotels that range from 3-star to 4-star and can provide contacts for a five-star hotel. 

 ·         Conference Fee:  The conference provides three discounts: for authors of accepted paper, for conference reviewers who complete the reviews, and for paying the registration fee by March 15.  (Regular faculty of Serbian institutions receive yet one more discount.)  The total fee for authors who also review and pay their conference fee by March 15 for the entire six day conference is expected to be just $425 USD after discounts.  This fee includes five lunches, one banquet, two receptions, and six coffee breaks.  (Breakfasts are included in all hotels prices.)  The price without including InSITE: Connect is just $300 USD.

Join the International Board of Reviewers. If you have not already done so this year, please volunteer to review three conference papers in December and early January.  Reviewers receive a $50 discount in their conference registration fee as well as a certificate suitable for framing.  Please see http://Volunteer.InSITE.nu for full details on how to sign up as a reviewer for this year’s conference submissions.

Join the Informing Science Institute.  For just $25 USD a year, you too can be a member and support the work of the hundreds of volunteers around the world who make up the Informing Science Institute (http://InformingScience.org). Become a member for the 2010-2011 academic year and see your name listed as a member at http://informingscience.org/members.php and all our journal sites.

Subject: Re: Chicago Tribune story on the status of libraries in Chicago Public Schools

While reading the article, I came across one quote which I found ironic:

"A lack of money and space and the competing need for new technology mean
libraries are often left out of school plans even as students in Chicago
Public Schools struggle to meet national standards in reading."
[edit}
Does this bother anyone else, or am I alone in my opinion?

I agree it bothers me, too. I live in Chicago and read this story when it was first published on Oct 26. I made the following comment on the Tribune's web site. School librarians need an endorsement to be a certified librarian. They can get this endorsement in a post-graduate certificate program. The do not need a masters degree. Most public library librarians need at least one masters degree. Academic librarians can get started with one masters degree, but usually earn a second. I teach library school classes and I can assure you that to earn a masters degree requires a rigorous course of study. The difference between what a potential school librarian and a potential academic librarian learns is at most two courses. Most librarians can easily learn how to be a good librarian in another type of library. Most non-librarian faculty members do not have the understanding of information gathering and distribution to properly guide students. Trained librarians are needed for the success of students and faculty. School libraries tune their collection to the needs of the students and the school curriculum. Public libraries do not. ----- I have visited many CPS school libraries. I have yet to be impressed with the collections, rooms, or librarians. One library had a roof leak that prevented books from being stored in 1/4 of the library. Another had a floor that was a danger to walk on.

It goes back to a time when the public library served schools. Also every state has different certification requirements. Also, there are two different accrediting agencies though ALA does work with the school group. Recently, in my town during drastic school corporation cutbacks, the first cut was to eliminate school librarians except in one high school library. The outcry from an informed citizenry and due to excellent school library media specialist (angry, town hall type forums) that parent groups supported, school librarians were reinstated but for only 1 year. Several months later, during a public referendum, we increased the tax rate for support of the schools. It passed after a long campaign with flying colors (even though several Republicans waged a campaign against it. These school librarians had masters degrees in library science plus of course many education credits to qualify for these positions; students really came out to support them- it was amazing. This could be done in Chicago; these children need literacy which can only be accomplished with good school librarians working with teachers to help the children accomplish their goals; to learn to read and love reading, plus an adequate supply of new books each year. Remember when Ann Weeks was the school media coordinator of Chicago...what was accomplished at that time?

Contributing factors include changing codes, changing priorities, and changing expectations. In the past four years, many institutions have implemented radically new approaches to the traditional library catalog. Whether we call these Third Generation Catalogs, Next Generation Catalogs, or Next Next Generation Catalogs, these are most often characterized by the introduction of faceted search capabilities and reliance on social technologies like tagging that encourage user interaction and participation. This period marks a new phase of experimentation that has not been seen since the late 1970s and early 1980s when the OPAC burst upon the scene. Since the unveiling of the new catalog at North Carolina State University in 2006, impassioned exchanges have occurred throughout the grey literature of our field today, from blog posts to the NGC4LIB listserv. To provide a more permanent record of the ideas driving these exchanges, the international journal Library Trends is planning a special issue, Trends in Next Generation Discovery and Access. This issue of Library Trends aims to investigate the historical background of the developments and innovations in the catalog, and to support articulation work that describes both the theory and practices that underlie Next Generation Discovery and Access. Some of these instantiations are traditional catalogs with new window dressing, but many institutions are rethinking fundamental technologies and practices. It is these experiments that will be highlighted by this issue. Proposals for articles may address a specific implementation or types of implementations; these articles may be written in a brief case study format. In addition, as benefits the aims of the journal, authors are encouraged to write more extended articles that interpret, contextualize and describe a relevant topic. Contributions on the history, theory and philosophy of developments in library catalogs are welcome. Proposals of no more than 300 words to be sent by 30 December 2010 to Dr. Kathryn La Barre ([log in to unmask]) Assistant Professor Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Decisions will be communicated to contributors no later than 15 January 2011. Delivery date of manuscripts: December 1, 2011. Each article will be in the range of 5,000-8,000 words (Case studies may be more brief). Articles will be published in Volume 60:4 (Spring 2012). -- Kathryn La Barre Assistant Professor Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ========================================================================Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2010 12:41:50 -0500 Reply-To: Open Lib/Info Sci Education Forum <[log in to unmask]> Sender: Open Lib/Info Sci Education Forum <[log in to unmask]> From: "Ann C. Weeks" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Chicago Tribune story on the status of libraries in Chicago Public Schools In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I am extremely sorry to hear about the condition of libraries in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS). I was fortunate to have the opportunity to re-open the Department of Libraries and Information Services in CPS in 1996, and had the good fortune to work with extraordinary individuals at both the District and building levels until 2000. I accepted the position at CPS because of the strong commitment from the entire Chicago library community (particularly Mary Dempsey at CPL and Alice Calabrese at the Chicago Library System) to support the improvement of library services in the schools. At the time I began my work, the Chicago School Reform Board, under the leadership of Paul Vallas and Mayor Daley, understood that good schools required good libraries. During the four years that I worked with my District-level staff of eight, long-time, highly respected Chicago school librarians, we were given resources by the Reform Board to support schools in renewing their collections (many of which had average copyright dates in the 1970s) and adding technology. We raised the expectations of principals and teachers about how school libraries contribute to literacy and academic achievement levels. We opened more than three dozen new libraries in elementary and secondary schools, and re-opened the Professional Library. During this time, we worked with Dominican University to enable a group of more than 24 individuals to receive their MLS and school library certification, and we encouraged librarians, principals, and teachers to implement many of the lessons learned through the National Library Power Program into the Chicago schools. Sadly, as the multiple changes of leadership occurred in the schools, the support for the library program diminished. As individuals responsible for library programs and services at the district and building levels retired, their positions were not filled, and the district level funding for library collections and services, which encouraged individual schools to commit to continuous library improvement, diminished. I believe that the reason that we were able to bring about such significant change in the library program in the Chicago schools between 1996-2000, was because we had the strong commitment of the entire library community in Chicago. Leaders in Chicago-area public, academic, and special libraries understood and communicated to policy-makers information about the unique role that school libraries play in the lives of young people, particularly in urban centers. They also were able to effectively address the importance of school libraries to the economic and cultural health of a city. It was because of their extraordinary support that the value and importance of school libraries was understood and valued -- at least for a time. If the children of Chicago are to have access to the information resources and services that they need to be productive, contributing members of the Chicago community, I believe that it will again take the aggressive, collaborative efforts of the library community in Chicago and beyond to help decision-makers understand the importance and unique value of school libraries. Chicago's young people deserve nothing less.

[[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 1:53 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Chicago Tribune story on the status of libraries in Chicago Public Schools Shirley Fitzgibbons responds As a retired faculty member of a library (and information) school, I find this to be so disturbing especially in a rich public library system. It goes back to a time when the public library served schools. Also every state has different certification requirements. Also, there are two different accrediting agencies though ALA does work with the school group. Recently, in my town during drastic school corporation cutbacks, the first cut was to eliminate school librarians except in one high school library. The outcry from an informed citizenry and due to excellent school library media specialist (angry, town hall type forums) that parent groups supported, school librarians were reinstated but for only 1 year. Several months later, during a public referendum, we increased the tax rate for support of the schools. It passed after a long campaign with flying colors (even though several Republicans waged a campaign against it. These school librarians had masters degrees in library science plus of course many education credits to qualify for these positions; students really came out to support them- it was amazing. This could be done in Chicago; these children need literacy which can only be accomplished with good school librarians working with teachers to help the children accomplish their goals; to learn to read and love reading, plus an adequate supply of new books each year. Remember when Ann Weeks was the school media coordinator of Chicago...what was accomplished at that time?

And that means it's time for me to ask you to make one of those SIGs the Research, Education, and Information in School Libraries (REISL) SIG. We've increased our membership this year, and we sponsored a successful session in Denver last spring, so we're still going strong. We're still very small, though, and it's important that we continue to grow. You can help! Having an official presence at AERA gives us a chance to move School Library Media research into the mainstream of educational research. We'd like to do more of that! But presentations slots are determined by the size of a SIG, so we have to keep growing. AERA's big membership drive is going on now, so now's the time for you to step up. AERA is the premier educational research association in the United States and beyond. If you're an educator of School Library Media Specialists or a graduate student focusing on that field, please consider joining (or re-joining) AERA and REISL to advance your own interests and the profession's. Dues are $150 a year for regular members and $40 a year for students. There's a $7 charge to join one or any number of SIGs once you're a member--clearly, a bargain! And there's a $5 charge for REISL dues--another bargain. REISL offers an opportunity for you and for the field. Please go to www.aera.net to become a member. I hope to see you on our membership list sometime soon.

The introduction of photomechanical technologies destabilized reproduction and representation so that the discrete categories of photograph, wood engraving, halftone and drawing took on a new fluidity. Imaging practices melded wood engraving with photomechanical processes and photography with drawing so that the illustrated periodicals of the 1890s contained a malleable flow of images. At the same time the increase in imagery unsettled and complicated the relationship between text and image in numerous ways as the text intersected with the comparatively enigmatic photographic image. In this talk I want to consider specifically the ways in which word and image began to co-exist more closely on the designed page of illustrated periodicals. In the press there was a renewed and intense focus on the visual and material qualities of the printed object shaping a new graphic space in which words, photographs, illustrations, and elements such as borders, rules, and logos came together. The printed page was a vehicle for communication and attraction, for visual pleasure. At the same time the page as an object assumes a viewer who needs to be reassured of the status and meaning of both the illustration and the letterpress. Gerry Beegan will also conduct a Graduate Workshop on Thursday, 18 November, 1-4 p.m. titled, "Spatial Practices in the Decorative Book." Due to space limitations, participation in this workshop is by reservation only. Please contact Curtis Dunn at CCA: 732.932.8426.

------_=_NextPart_001_01CB8512.7C1C1D2F-- ========================================================================Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 08:59:10 -0500 Reply-To: Open Lib/Info Sci Education Forum <[log in to unmask]> Sender: Open Lib/Info Sci Education Forum <[log in to unmask]> From: "Cunningham, Flo" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Kent State SLIS and University Circle Libraries Form Educational Partnership to Recruit Future Librarians with $553,000 Grant Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Kent State and University Circle Libraries Form Educational Partnership to Recruit Future Librarians with $553,000 Grant Awarded to University The School of Library and Information Science at Kent State University has received a federal grant for $552,908 to create a unique educational partnership between the school and the myriad educational, medical and cultural institutions in the University Circle area of Cleveland. The grant, awarded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the primary source of federal funding for libraries and museums in the United States, will give 72 college undergraduates a hands-on introduction to the library profession, particularly in specialized areas with a shortage of qualified people (e.g., art, health sciences, music and other specialized academic areas). Included in the partnership are the libraries and archives of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland Museum of Art, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland Botanical Garden, Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland Institute of Music, Cleveland Orchestra, Siegal College of Judaic Studies and Case Western Reserve University's nine affiliated libraries. Greg Byerly, Ph.D., associate professor in Kent State's School of Library and Information Science and director of the project, said it will have a national impact as the partners create a model recruitment plan for attracting undergraduate college students, particularly minorities, to the library profession. "For several years, the directors of the libraries and archives in these cultural, educational and medical institutions have been concerned about the need to recruit qualified people with appropriate background to become librarians, especially in the specialized areas they represent," Byerly said, "and especially as there will be a great need for librarians when the baby boom generation retires in large numbers over the next 10 to 20 years." Initial recruitment efforts will target juniors and seniors at five different Northeast Ohio colleges and universities, although additional institutions will be added later. Over the three years of the grant, four cohorts of undergraduate students will take two three-credit courses, one each sequentially over two semesters. The first course will introduce students to the profession, particularly academic and special libraries, and the second will include a 100-hour supervised internship in one of the 19 partner libraries. The grant covers tuition costs for the courses, which will be provided online by Kent State's School of Library and Information Science. Students will be able to transfer the six undergraduate credit hours from Kent State to their home institutions. The partnership with University Circle museums and other institutions also will help boost Kent State's new museum studies specialization in the School of Library and Information Science. "Museum studies is a growing field, and there is a need to cultivate expertise in this area," Byerly said. To help launch the museum studies program, the school this fall hired Kiersten F. Latham, who received her Ph.D. in library and information management from Emporia State University and has more than 20 years of experience working in museums in various capacities, as curator, collection manager, director, volunteer, program coordinator, archivist, historic interpreter, board member, exhibit designer and consultant. She will play an important role in the execution of the grant and in the ongoing partnership with the University Circle institutions. Byerly has developed the initial course for the museum studies specialty and will be responsible for developing the two undergraduate courses for this grant project. Staff at the various University Circle libraries will assist Byerly and Latham in developing Kent State's new museum studies program and some will serve as adjunct faculty. "The combination of a museum studies curriculum within a library and information science school is relatively rare," Byerly said, "and the wealth of world-class museums at our disposal will make this program that much more impressive and marketable." Only four American Library Association (ALA)-accredited programs nationwide have a degree or certificate in museum studies or related areas. Kent State's School of Library and Information Science, in the College of Communication and Information, offers the only ALA-accredited Master of Library and Information Science (M.L.I.S.) degree program in Ohio. Byerly, together with Carolyn Brodie, Ph.D., professor in the School of Library and Information Science at Kent State, has brought in more than $6.2 million in grants from the IMLS and other federal and regional sources since 1995. "This important partnership demonstrates Kent State's ongoing commitment to enhancing the educational and cultural life of Northeast Ohio," Kent State President Lester A. Lefton said. "Our nationally renowned leadership in the library and information science profession, together with new programs that address specific needs, serves as an outstanding example of how Kent State puts 'excellence in action.'" In addition to the Master of Library and Information Science degree, Kent State's School of Library and Information Science offers a Master of Science in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management and is part of the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in the College of Communication and Information. The school is recognized by U.S. News and World Report as one of the nation's top 20 graduate programs, and its youth librarianship program is ranked 13th. It is one of the largest library schools in the country, with nearly 700 students enrolled.

I am deeply appreciative of their efforts to make a difference. They serve as the nation's role models." As the primary source of federal funding for the nation's museums and libraries, the Institute has a unique perspective on the vital role these institutions play in American society.

Nearly half of the students in the sample (49%) frequently asked instructors for assistance with assessing the quality of sources for course work — far fewer asked librarians (11%) for assistance."

As more students obtain bachelor's degrees, the importance of higher education is getting watered down. In fact, millions of graduates are settling for underemployment.

Richard Vedder of The Chronicles of Higher Education writes, "Some 17,000,000 Americans with college degrees are doing jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics says require less than the skill levels associated with a bachelors degree." These alumns are becoming flight attendants, retail sales people, and even shampooers at hair salons.

"Despite predictions that the growth of online education would begin to level
off, colleges reported the highest-ever annual increase in online
enrollmentmore than 21 percentlast year, according to a report on an annual
survey of 2,600 higher-education institutions from the Sloan Consortium and the

"In fall 2009, collegesincluding public, nonprofit private, and for-profit
private institutionsreported that one million more students were enrolled in at
least one Web-based course, bringing the total number of online students to 5.6
million. That unexpected increasewhich topped the previous year's 17-percent

risemay have been helped by higher demand for education in a rocky economy and
an uptick in the number of colleges adopting online courses."

"Although the survey found sustained interest in online courses across all
sectors, there was a spike in the number of for-profit institutionsa 20-percent
increase over last yearthat said online education is critical to their
long-term strategies. However, more public colleges than private
for-profits74.9 percent versus 60.5 percentsay it's part of their long-term
plans." ...

EXCERPTS:

..."Administrators also continue to wrestle with the question of quality in
online education. According to the survey report, "Class Differences: Online
Education in the United States, 2010," 66 percent of college administrators say
that online education is the same as or better than face-to-face classesa
slight decline from last year. Still, Ms. Allen said it appears that more
faculty members are warming up to online education as a quality alternative to
face-to-face learning and are finding new ways to use the technology." ...

"Ghostwriters in the Medical Literature"

"Some of it is just navet on the physicians' part," she says. "But there's also the fact that this is so common that it's not considered unusual. There's no shame attached to it." -- Adriane Fugh-Berman

Haunting the literature

"Ghost authorship occurs when an unacknowledged author writes, or makes substantial contributions to, an article published in the peer-reviewed science literature. Typically, the author is a professional writer with scientific expertise, hired by medical-education and communications companies. These articles are destined to appear under the names of scientists who contribute little to their writing.

So....uh, should people stop bothering to apply to college next year or drop out now ? 

What matters most is that they pursued their education and hopefully were successful at it. What they choose to do with it after the fact is not necessarily the same issue or point.

For many people today, as in the past, they are the first in their families to even go to college, and for many too, to have completed high school.
Guess it would depend on one's perspective.  Does everyone think about "job" when they are going to college?   I remember years ago working at Columbia University libraries where some of my co-workers had their day/night job at the library - not as "professional" staff either, but had 2-3 other careers going at the same time.

"Despite predictions that the growth of online education would begin to level
off, colleges reported the highest-ever annual increase in online
enrollment—more than 21 percent—last year, according to a report on an annual
survey of 2,600 higher-education institutions from the Sloan Consortium and the
Babson Survey Research Group."

"In fall 2009, colleges—including public, nonprofit private, and for-profit
private institutions—reported that one million more students were enrolled in at
least one Web-based course, bringing the total number of online students to 5.6
million. That unexpected increase—which topped the previous year's 17-percent
rise—may have been helped by higher demand for education in a rocky economy and
an uptick in the number of colleges adopting online courses."

"Although the survey found sustained interest in online courses across all
sectors, there was a spike in the number of for-profit institutions—a 20-percent
increase over last year—that said online education is critical to their
long-term strategies. However, more public colleges than private
for-profits—74.9 percent versus 60.5 percent—say it's part of their long-term
plans." ...

EXCERPTS:

..."Administrators also continue to wrestle with the question of quality in
online education. According to the survey report, "Class Differences: Online
Education in the United States, 2010," 66 percent of college administrators say
that online education is the same as or better than face-to-face classes—a
slight decline from last year. Still, Ms. Allen said it appears that more
faculty members are warming up to online education as a quality alternative to
face-to-face learning and are finding new ways to use the technology." ...

So....uh, should people stop bothering to apply to college next year or drop out now ? 

What matters most is that they pursued their education and hopefully were successful at it. What they choose to do with it after the fact is not necessarily the same issue or point.

For many people today, as in the past, they are the first in their families to even go to college, and for many too, to have completed high school.

How can you even do a 'casual survey' on something like that...:-) there are many social and cultural issues, that may not have much to do with the 'corporatization of universities', which seems to have become a catch-all excuse for the problems in education these days. I'm a first generation American, my mother came off a boat from Ireland in the 1950s and spoke and wrote English, just with a heavy accent. She had an opportunity to attend college when her employer recommended her to attend school but she turned it down to continue working instead before she married and had a family to support. We have recently read about student protests in Britain where students now are being asked to pay for their education. For centuries, Ireland and the UK have had generations of white, English speaking people-men and women-- who just were shut out from education because of their social and economic class. not because of their ability to speak or write English. What are the other factors ? We have some people who are placed in special education classes in American elementary schools because they had a Hispanic name, even though they were born in Brooklyn or Topeka KS. To say simply that 'students can't read or write English' is just one big can of worms. We have some faculty in our graduate schools today who tell women students they don't belong in graduate school because they have families or simply because they are women. It's not about corporatization always but rather, about giving people *real* opportunities to learn. Some of you may have read recently about the Professors of the Year in the Chronicle who are the best at what they do because they let their students take charge of their learning. what does that tell us? that they just "can't think" ? I don't think so....that's just a cop out too often used.

How can you even do a 'casual survey' on something like that...:-)
there are many social and cultural issues, that may not have much to do with the 'corporatization of universities', which seems to have become a catch-all excuse for the problems in education these days.

I'm a first generation American, my mother came off a boat from Ireland in the 1950s and spoke and wrote English, just with a heavy accent. She had an opportunity to attend college when her employer recommended her to attend school but she turned it down to continue working instead before she married and had a family to support. We have recently read about student protests in Britain where students now are being asked to pay for their education. For centuries, Ireland and the UK have had generations of white, English speaking people-men and women-- who just were shut out from education because of their social and economic class. not because of their ability to speak or write English. What are the other factors ?

We have some people who are placed in special education classes in American elementary schools because they had a Hispanic name, even though they were born in Brooklyn or Topeka KS. To say simply that 'students can't read or write English' is just one big can of worms.

We have some faculty in our graduate schools today who tell women students they don't belong in graduate school because they have families or simply because they are women.

It's not about corporatization always but rather, about giving people *real* opportunities to learn.

Some of you may have read recently about the Professors of the Year in the Chronicle who are the best at what they do because they let their students take charge of their learning.
what does that tell us? that they just "can't think" ? I don't think so....that's just a cop out too often used.

Hurrah, Suzanne and Bernie!!!! I thought that this was a purely Australian phenomenon. It is reassuring (but even more tragic) that this is an international phenomenon. Students cant think and they cant they write English either. But heres more bad news: I have been a Visiting Professor at the University of Parma (Masters in Digital Libraries) and we have enjoyed the contributions of many international experts in this field, and guess what: students cannot write correctly in Slovenian, Czech, French, Norwegian,German, Swedish or Italian either (where these are their home languages). My casual survey continues...

When will they stop the corporatisation of universities and concentrate on academic matters like knowledge, for example.

Except in the case of a few very vocational degrees, university isn't about what you learn on the course, it's about how that learning, how living and studying somewhere new, changes the way you think and who you are. Instead of forcing kids to make binding career choices at 17, higher education is supposed to give students who would benefit from further academic development a bit of space in which to find themselves... But when residential non-vocational degrees for a minority are replaced by hurried part-time vocational ones for the majority, going to university is likely to lose its career-enhancing effect. The academic currency is both debased and over-issued.

I was lucky enough to have been born into a family that valued higher education, even though only one of my four grandparents graduated high school. My paternal grandmother didn't even finish grammar school, but all three of her kids (two sons and a daughter) were college grads, and they grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

My mother's siblings also mostly attended college, even though they were first generation immigrants. My mother retired as a newspaper editor. She taught me all the rules of writing/editing that Iignore/forget today. :-)

I agree with Suzanne Stauffer. My mother attended college for just two years. Even now, in her late 80s, I'm sure she knows more than many graduate students.

Thank you, Karen! It's sad when even weaccept the too-common equivalence of higher education with vocational training.

At the same time, many employers are looking to college graduates becausea high school diploma no longer guarantees a minimal level of ability and cultural knowledge. My mother did not attend college,and in high school she concentrated on "secretarial" courses. She knew more about grammar than I do to this day. She also knew more basic facts about history and literature than many of my MLIS students. She could do basic math -- add, subtract, multiply and divide -- in her head, and could convert weights and measurements, as well.

Even an undergraduate degree no longer guarantees that. I have too many students in cataloging who do not recognize Greek tragedians such as Euripides, presidents other than the two or three they remember from their own life time, and basic works of Western culture. I shudder (not "shutter," as so many of them would have it) to think what their math skills are like.

So....uh, should people stop bothering to apply to college next year or drop out now ?

What matters most is that they pursued their education and hopefully were successful at it. What they choose to do with it after the fact is not necessarily the same issue or point.

For many people today, as in the past, they are the first in their families to even go to college, and for many too, to have completed high school.

Guess it would depend on one's perspective. Does everyone think about "job" when they are going to college? I remember years ago working at Columbia University libraries where some of my co-workers had their day/night job at the library - not as "professional" staff either, but had 2-3 other careers going at the same time.

Maybe some people just are not used to doing both, i.e. work / education, for some it is the norm, it just takes much longer to get there.

17 Million Kids Went To College And Became Waitresses Or Flight Attendants


As more students obtain bachelor's degrees, the importance of higher education is getting watered down. In fact, millions of graduates are settling for underemployment.

Richard Vedder of The Chronicles of Higher Education writes, "Some 17,000,000 Americans with college degrees are doing jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics says require less than the skill levels associated with a bachelors degree." These alumns are becoming flight attendants, retail sales people, and even shampooers at hair salons.

EXCERPTS BELOW:

"Despite predictions that the growth of online education would begin to level
off, colleges reported the highest-ever annual increase in online
enrollmentmore than 21 percentlast year, according to a report on an annual
survey of 2,600 higher-education institutions from the Sloan Consortium and the
Babson Survey Research Group."

"In fall 2009, collegesincluding public, nonprofit private, and for-profit
private institutionsreported that one million more students were enrolled in at
least one Web-based course, bringing the total number of online students to 5.6
million. That unexpected increasewhich topped the previous year's 17-percent
risemay have been helped by higher demand for education in a rocky economy and
an uptick in the number of colleges adopting online courses."

"Although the survey found sustained interest in online courses across all
sectors, there was a spike in the number of for-profit institutionsa 20-percent
increase over last yearthat said online education is critical to their
long-term strategies. However, more public colleges than private
for-profits74.9 percent versus 60.5 percentsay it's part of their long-term
plans." ...

EXCERPTS:

..."Administrators also continue to wrestle with the question of quality in
online education. According to the survey report, "Class Differences: Online
Education in the United States, 2010," 66 percent of college administrators say
that online education is the same as or better than face-to-face classesa
slight decline from last year. Still, Ms. Allen said it appears that more
faculty members are warming up to online education as a quality alternative to
face-to-face learning and are finding new ways to use the technology." ...

Whole language instruction has been used in a few countries (US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand; and is imbued in the Montessori philosophy as practiced in Italy and elsewhere) but has been found by many studies to be highly ineffective when used alone or in the absence of phonics; still, its use is spreading fairly rapidly to all parts of the globe. A prevailing theory about the overall failure of whole language instruction is that it places too much of a burden on children and adolescents to acquire knowledge for which they need formal, top-down instruction instead, given their age-related cognitive limitations. As such, a global over-emphasis of whole language instruction could explain why recent generations continue to have trouble with formal use of their own native languages. In short, the current phenomenon of reading and writing deficiencies among students simply could be limitations of student-centered learning.

How can you even do a 'casual survey' on something like that...:-) there are many social and cultural issues, that may not have much to do with the 'corporatization of universities', which seems to have become a catch-all excuse for the problems in education these days. I'm a first generation American, my mother came off a boat from Ireland in the 1950s and spoke and wrote English, just with a heavy accent. She had an opportunity to attend college when her employer recommended her to attend school but she turned it down to continue working instead before she married and had a family to support. We have recently read about student protests in Britain where students now are being asked to pay for their education. For centuries, Ireland and the UK have had generations of white, English speaking people-men and women-- who just were shut out from education because of their social and economic class. not because of their ability to speak or write English. What are the other factors ? We have some people who are placed in special education classes in American elementary schools because they had a Hispanic name, even though they were born in Brooklyn or Topeka KS. To say simply that 'students can't read or write English' is just one big can of worms. We have some faculty in our graduate schools today who tell women students they don't belong in graduate school because they have families or simply because they are women. It's not about corporatization always but rather, about giving people *real* opportunities to learn. Some of you may have read recently about the Professors of the Year in the Chronicle who are the best at what they do because they let their students take charge of their learning. what does that tell us? that they just "can't think" ? I don't think so....that's just a cop out too often used.

Instead of forcing kids to make binding career choices at 17, higher education is supposed to give students who would benefit from further academic development a bit of space in which to find themselves... But when residential non-vocational degrees for a minority are replaced by hurried part-time vocational ones for the majority, going to university is likely to lose its career-enhancing effect.

My paternal grandmother didn't even finish grammar school, but all three of her kids (two sons and a daughter) were college grads, and they grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere. My mother's siblings also mostly attended college, even though they were first generation immigrants. My mother retired as a newspaper editor. She taught me all the rules of writing/editing that I ignore/forget today. :-) I agree with Suzanne Stauffer. My mother attended college for just two years. Even now, in her late 80s, I'm sure she knows more than many graduate students.

It's sad when even we accept the too-common equivalence of higher education with vocational training. At the same time, many employers are looking to college graduates because a high school diploma no longer guarantees a minimal level of ability and cultural knowledge. My mother did not attend college, and in high school she concentrated on "secretarial" courses. She knew more about grammar than I do to this day. She also knew more basic facts about history and literature than many of my MLIS students. She could do basic math -- add, subtract, multiply and divide -- in her head, and could convert weights and measurements, as well. Even an undergraduate degree no longer guarantees that. I have too many students in cataloging who do not recognize Greek tragedians such as Euripides, presidents other than the two or three they remember from their own life time, and basic works of Western culture. I shudder (not "shutter," as so many of them would have it) to think what their math skills are like. Suzanne M.

What matters most is that they pursued their education and hopefully were successful at it. What they choose to do with it after the fact is not necessarily the same issue or point. For many people today, as in the past, they are the first in their families to even go to college, and for many too, to have completed high school. Guess it would depend on one's perspective. Does everyone think about "job" when they are going to college? I remember years ago working at Columbia University libraries where some of my co-workers had their day/night job at the library - not as "professional" staff either, but had 2-3 other careers going at the same time. Maybe some people just are not used to doing both, i.e. work / education, for some it is the norm, it just takes much longer to get there. cheers, KarenW Karen Weaver, MLS, Electronic Resources Statistician, Duquesne University, Gumberg Library, Pittsburgh PA email: [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]> / Gmail [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]> "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ---Eleanor Roosevelt On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 11:28 AM, Irene Lopatovska <[log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]> > wrote: On a similar(?) note: 17 Million Kids Went To College And Became Waitresses Or Flight Attendants As more students obtain bachelor's degrees, the importance of higher education is getting watered down.

"In fall 2009, colleges-including public, nonprofit private, and for-profit private institutions-reported that one million more students were enrolled in at least one Web-based course, bringing the total number of online students to 5.6 million. That unexpected increase-which topped the previous year's 17-percent rise-may have been helped by higher demand for education in a rocky economy and an uptick in the number of colleges adopting online courses." "Although the survey found sustained interest in online courses across all sectors, there was a spike in the number of for-profit institutions-a 20-percent increase over last year-that said online education is critical to their long-term strategies. However, more public colleges than private for-profits-74.9 percent versus 60.5 percent-say it's part of their long-term plans." ... EXCERPTS: ..."Administrators also continue to wrestle with the question of quality in online education. According to the survey report, "Class Differences: Online Education in the United States, 2010," 66 percent of college administrators say that online education is the same as or better than face-to-face classes-a slight decline from last year. Still, Ms. Allen said it appears that more faculty members are warming up to online education as a quality alternative to face-to-face learning and are finding new ways to use the technology." ...

The application deadline (January 15th) is quickly approaching. We are especially looking for top students who are interested in building on a significant understanding of human and social factors in approaching the design, implementation and study of information systems and technologies, as well as human and social aspects of information. The Rutgers SC&I PhD program in Library and Information science is an interdisciplinary program, centered on the intersection of people, information and technology. We believe this program can be an exceptionally fruitful environment for students coming from areas such as computer science, social computing, and human-computer interaction, who are concerned not only with the technologies of information, but with the people who use, develop and change those technologies. PhD students in our program will typically work with scholars from various other disciplines including psychology, sociology, engineering, cultural studies, and more. Most critically, the students will be part of a PhD Program which includes two additional program areas: Communication, and Media Studies. With several new additions to our faculty, and a number of recent grants, we have been extending our interest in areas such as social media, language and information, and health informatics. These new areas augment and build on the Rutgers SC&I influential research on interactive information retrieval, HCI and digital libraries, knowledge management, and human information behavior, as well as critical and historical information studies. In all, our varied interests and background provide a significant opportunity for top students to become leaders in academic fields linking individual and social behaviors with appropriate technologies. We encourage applications from information science and computer science students who are interested in human and social aspects of computing in addition to applicants with backgrounds in social sciences, humanities, and other fields. With over 50% of female students amongst our current cohort, we will continue to give special consideration to applicants from groups underrepresented in the sciences. Needless to say, at Rutgers you will be a short distance away from New York City, the media and information capital of the world, and close to the entertainment, research and employment opportunities it offers. For more information about the School of Communication and Information, see http://comminfo.rutgers.edu.

Whole language instruction has been used in a few countries (US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand; and is imbued in the Montessori philosophy as practiced in Italy and elsewhere) but has been found by many studies to be highly ineffective when used alone or in the absence of phonics; still, its use is spreading fairly rapidly to all parts of the globe. A prevailing theory about the overall failure of whole language instruction is that it places too much of a burden on children and adolescents to acquire knowledge for which they need formal, top-down instruction instead, given their age-related cognitive limitations. As such, a global over-emphasis of whole language instruction could explain why recent generations continue to have trouble with formal use of their own native languages. In short, the current phenomenon of reading and writing deficiencies among students simply could be limitations of student-centered learning.

How can you even do a 'casual survey' on something like that...:-) there are many social and cultural issues, that may not have much to do with the 'corporatization of universities', which seems to have become a catch-all excuse for the problems in education these days. I'm a first generation American, my mother came off a boat from Ireland in the 1950s and spoke and wrote English, just with a heavy accent. She had an opportunity to attend college when her employer recommended her to attend school but she turned it down to continue working instead before she married and had a family to support. We have recently read about student protests in Britain where students now are being asked to pay for their education. For centuries, Ireland and the UK have had generations of white, English speaking people-men and women-- who just were shut out from education because of their social and economic class. not because of their ability to speak or write English. What are the other factors ? We have some people who are placed in special education classes in American elementary schools because they had a Hispanic name, even though they were born in Brooklyn or Topeka KS. To say simply that 'students can't read or write English' is just one big can of worms. We have some faculty in our graduate schools today who tell women students they don't belong in graduate school because they have families or simply because they are women. It's not about corporatization always but rather, about giving people *real* opportunities to learn. Some of you may have read recently about the Professors of the Year in the Chronicle who are the best at what they do because they let their students take charge of their learning. what does that tell us? that they just "can't think" ? I don't think so....that's just a cop out too often used.

Instead of forcing kids to make binding career choices at 17, higher education is supposed to give students who would benefit from further academic development a bit of space in which to find themselves... But when residential non-vocational degrees for a minority are replaced by hurried part-time vocational ones for the majority, going to university is likely to lose its career-enhancing effect.

What matters most is that they pursued their education and hopefully were successful at it. What they choose to do with it after the fact is not necessarily the same issue or point. For many people today, as in the past, they are the first in their families to even go to college, and for many too, to have completed high school. Guess it would depend on one's perspective. Does everyone think about "job" when they are going to college? I remember years ago working at Columbia University libraries where some of my co-workers had their day/night job at the library - not as "professional" staff either, but had 2-3 other careers going at the same time.

"In fall 2009, colleges-including public, nonprofit private, and for-profit private institutions-reported that one million more students were enrolled in at least one Web-based course, bringing the total number of online students to 5.6 million. That unexpected increase-which topped the previous year's 17-percent rise-may have been helped by higher demand for education in a rocky economy and an uptick in the number of colleges adopting online courses." "Although the survey found sustained interest in online courses across all sectors, there was a spike in the number of for-profit institutions-a 20-percent increase over last year-that said online education is critical to their long-term strategies.

You expect tooled leather, gilt lettered spines, burnished with age and careful handling, clean and crisp. Instead the 2000 books of the Brancepeth Station Library conform to Amy Cruse's description of the Victorian family's 'tattered favourites', passed from hand to hand, torn, stained and filled with reader debris-annotations, crumbs, dripped wax, spilled tea, pressed flowers, sketches, lists, mud, insects and, once, a half smoked cigarette. What Robert Darnton has called the 'where' of reading, often overlooked by book historians, is vividly present in these Victorian novels used by the working population of a New Zealand sheep station in the 1890s. Reading, as many schloars have noted, is an elusive history. Damaged books are thrown away, readers move to the next book leaving only anonymous traces of their present. But the Brancepeth library, used in a particular place by particular group of people, has never been dispersed, and the books remain as tattered testimony of the tastes, behaviors and opinions of their long-dead readers. H.J.Jackson's analysis of marginalia as a shared system of codes of communication applies to these books that circulated within a bounded readership, and to some extent they refute Jonathan Rose's recent claim that the only pattern in marginalia is no pattern, showing not only the dialogic relationship between reader and text, but also the social world in which readers lived. One of the readers had what Greg Dening has called 'performance consciousness', leaving tracks of his reading through the collection and also enacting his complex social identity. 88 % of the Brancepeth library is fiction and most of it is colonial editions of Victorian novels, but the largest non-British component (just under a tenth) is American. What American fiction did New Zealand working men like to read and how do their reading choices illuminate their social colonial world?

This concept emerged as part of the theoretical framework employed by the author in his doctoral thesis (Muela-Meza, 2010): An Application of Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers: Perceptions from the People of the Broomhall Neighbourhood of Sheffield, UK. This concept is complemented from philosophy (Marx and Engels, [1848] 1976a), and the natural sciences (Hauser, 2006; Sagan and Druyan, 1992), and it served the author to understand better the bigger dimensions of the underlying issues behind social classes and human conflicts. It also served to understand better the contradictions between people (e.g. LIS users with contradictory and mutually exclusive information needs to be provided by libraries and other institutions of information recorded in documents), and how these intensify when these are interrelated with the social class they belong to (Muela-Meza, 2007). This paper also criticises some competing views whose proponents by pretending fallaciously and deceitfully to deny the presence of social class divides in society, such as those rhetorical ploys of post-modernism that propose capitalist-class-driven ideologues of community cohesion based on social capital (Putnam, 1999). It shows evidence of how those followers (e.g. Pateman, 2006; Contreras Contreras, 2004; Bryson, Usherwood and Proctor, 2003) of capitalist-class ideologues, by doing so they aligned their discourse to that of dominance hierarchies and hegemony against working class people, in LIS and other sciences, and the humanities. It also criticises the postmodern pseudoscience because it pretends to undermine the logical rationality fundamental in LIS and all other sciences. It recommends that LIS theorists and practitioners employ the social class struggles concept as configured here in order to understand better contradictions, conflicts, and struggles within LIS theory and practice, and also to search for broader epistemological aims such as justice and wisdom (Fleissner and Hofkirchner, 1998), concealed by the capitalist or bourgeois and middle classes for their benefit against working class.

However, the wait has been worthwhile, and we thank you for that earnestly, here you have the third double issue. And our journal thanks to you keeps alive and kicking, and arrives reinvigorating to its third volume launching its double number (Vol 2 No. 2 & Vol. 3 No.1). For the next numbers keep in mind these important dates: December 30, 2010 deadline to receive contributions for the no. 2 of vol 3 (July-December 2010 issue) to be published on January 30, 2011; May 30, 2011 deadline no.1 of vol 4 (Jan-Jun 2011); October 30, 2011 deadline for no.2 of vol.4 (Jul-Dec 2011). *What are the contents of this issue of LIS Critique?** *In this number you will find 6 contributions (3 articles and 3 essays) of 7 authors (6 Mexican and 1 Argentinian) who were kind enough to collaborate with this number. To learn more about the credentials of these authors, at the end of each contribution is appended their biographical profiles. * * *Zapopan Martn Muela-Meza (MEXICO) b*egins the critical debates of the *Articles *section with his contribution: The *social class struggles concept *with an interdisciplinary approach*: *a paramount concept for research in library and information science (LIS). In this paper he addresses that this concept emerged as part of the theoretical framework of his doctoral thesis (Muela-Meza, 2010): *An Application of Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers: Perceptions from the People of the Broomhall Neighbourhood of Sheffield, UK. *The relevance of his contribution, besides the fact of bringing forward the concept of *social class *to the international debate in the sciences of information recorded in documents, like library and information science (LIS), is the fact of being configured as *stuggles *in the Marxist sense, *social class struggles (*Marx and Engels, [1848] 1976a). However, in addition to this philosophical concept that is politically and ideologically very controversial and broadly denied in LIS research, other social sciences and the humanities, the author has complemented it with the concept of *dominance hierarchy *from the natural sciences (Hauser, 2006; Sagan and Druyan, 1992). This concept configured and complemented with such approaches helped the author in his doctoral thesis to understand better the underlying controversial issues behind social classes and human conflicts. It also helped him to understand better the contradictions between people (e.g. LIS users with contradictory and mutually exclusive information needs to be provided by libraries and other institutions of information recorded in documents), and how these intensify when these are interrelated with the social class they belong to (Muela-Meza, 2007). Another relevant aspect of this contribution is that the author not only explains the arguments that are in favour to the data and results that emerged in such doctoral research, but also he includes those contrasting arguments to confront his analysis. Hence, he addresses a sound critique against the partisans of the capitalist or bourgeois class who through their rhetorical ploys such as social capital and community cohesion of the postmodernist pseudoscience the pretend fallaciously to deceit LIS theorists and practitioners. He also criticizes rigorously the pseudoscience of postmodernism and its ideologues and followers because they pretend to undermine the rational logic fundamental to LIS and the rest of sciences. And he suggests that LIS theorists and practitioners employ the *social class struggles *concept as configured here in order to understand better contradictions, conflicts, and struggles within LIS theory and practice, and also to search for broader epistemological aims such as *justice* and * wisdom* (Fleissner and Hofkirchner, 1998), concealed by the capitalist or bourgeois and middle classes for their benefit against working class. *Federico Zeballos (ARGENTINA),* with his contribution: The banning of reading in Cordoba (Argentina): Elements for its study, conducted a thorough and well grounded critique to the banning of reading in libraries of Cordoba, Argentina, by analysing documents since the Spaniard colonization up to the recent past related to the military dictatorships of extreme right in such country. He presents some cases of censorship in different types of libraries: university, public, school, popular and particular, where he highlights two of the first public bonfires of forbidden books carried out in Cordoba, pyromaniac practice to be later reproduced in numerous cities of Argentina and America (the whole American continent not U.S.A.). The paper is supported with accounts from directors and top managers who worked in libraries in those days; photographs of book bonfires and records of banned books; institutional documents such as royen and school resolutions, and statutory notes. As part of the analysis that he conducts of the happenings in Cordoba, he makes a strong critique against such fascist oppression against Argentinian citizens, in this case through their memory recorded in documents: A common characteristic to all totalitarian regimes of the world, through all times, and from the most diverse ideological inclinations, has been (and it is) the systematic destruction of the heritage of culture and identity that they consider their enemy (either external or internal), as a basic strategy of domination against the opponent. Thus, the bibliographic pyres aroused as a strong intimidatory message sent to all the community. Within this they included the public exposure of the kidnapped books, the *exordium* of some authorities, the shooting of photographs before and during the burnings, and the later propaganda of the happening in various communication media. *Felipe Meneses-Tello (MEXICO), *who since this number has become a new member of the *Editorial Board *of our journal, closes the *Articles *section, and he continues with the critical debates with his contribution: Universities, libraries, presses, and jails: spaces of education, reading, and theoretical work of the revolutionary proletarian intellectual. In this he makes a critical examination of how universities, libraries, presses, and jails through their documents (books, periodicals, pamphlets, etc.) have served the revolutionaries of all times, but in particular to those of the proletariat, of whom he makes a sound recount of the Bolshevik Revolution. However, from a vast array of institutions, he highlights that libraries have had more preeminence in such self-taught instruction and theoretical possession of the proletarian *intelligentsia:* * * Without fear to be mistaken, the most representative and praised institution between the revolutionary thinkers of the working class has been the library underground and legal--, since it has been the space where they have spent considerable time of their lives. The various biographic works about the plethora that has lead the labour movement in the world support this statement. Hence, the intense work in a huge diversity of libraries is an essential phenomenon to study and analyse the central leaders of the revolutionary intellectuality. *Jose Angel Gonzalez-Castillo and Carlos Alberto Martinez-Hernandez (MEXICO),* open the section of *Essays* with their contribution: Conformist trends in the laboring discourse and reality of librarians in Mexico. These authors have conducted a thorough critique against some of the most notorious and pernicious elements of the invasion of the capitalist and bourgeois ideas and practices in the theory and practice of librarianship in Mexico. Their critique comprises the current Mexican federal government of Felipe Calderon; the General Directorate of Libraries (DGB) of the National Network of Libraries (RNB) of the National Council for Culture and Arts (CONACULTA) from that government; LIS education at the Department of Library and Information Science of the School of Philosophy and Letters of the Mexico National Autonomous University (UNAM), and the National School of Library and Information Science and Archives (ENBA) of the Secretary of Public Education (SEP) of the Mexican federal government. They mainly focused their critique on two commentators (Hernndez Pacheco, 2007; Arriola Navarrete, 2006) whom through their library practice openly hold the political ideologies of the capitalist and bourgeois right within librarianship. They argue that such capitalist and bourgeois discourse fosters a conformist attitude amongst LIS theorists and practitioners, that charichaturises LIS theory, and that even worst, that affects the labour rights of the personnel of the Mexican public libraries. *Horacio Crdenas Zardoni (MEXICO)* continues with the critical debates with his essay: What if librarians became professors? The labour problems of librarians that work in state public libraries.In this essay he makes a comprehensive and critical literature review related to job descriptions of library personnel from 20 Mexican public universities, and he makes a sound critique to the fact that librarians are not considered with faculty (professorship) rank, but only as a mere managerial worker, without the recognition or advantages of the former and without the possibilities for the betterment of the latter. * * * * *Gonzalo Clemente Lara Pacheco (MEXICO), *closes the section of *Essays*with his contribution: Books of the Mexico National Autonomous University (UNAM) through Google: two years later. The author continues a debate he started himself in our journal two years ago (Lara Pacheco, 2008). He criticizes and questions the corporate discourse of Google with UNAM as well as with all other libraries in the world that already have agreements with them--, that after two years of established such agreement the UNAM community has not received any benefits. In addition, he criticises that the digitization processes conducted by UNAM have been more efficient than those of Google, thus he also criticises and questions the technological capacities of Google as deficient, at least as compared with those of UNAM. Hence, without further preface, we leave you at your hands with this sound collective and international effort for you to submit it to your rigorous critique and analysis. Get involved reading the debates offered in these three numbers since 2008, and even more, get involved in our editorial project by submitting your critical contributions.

This paper analyses the social class struggles concept with an interdisciplinary approach to be used by theorists and practitioners of library and information science (LIS). This concept emerged as part of the theoretical framework employed by the author in his doctoral thesis (Muela-Meza, 2010): An Application of Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers: Perceptions from the People of the Broomhall Neighbourhood of Sheffield, UK. This concept is complemented from philosophy (Marx and Engels, [1848] 1976a), and the natural sciences (Hauser, 2006; Sagan and Druyan, 1992), and it served the author to understand better the bigger dimensions of the underlying issues behind social classes and human conflicts.

Google corporation digitizes books published by the Mexico National Autonomous University (UNAM) since 2007. The corporation agreed not to charge anything for this service; instead, it was informed through some communication media that UNAM would be benefited in two senses: a) books could be consulted (just a few pages) in the site of Google books, and b) the university community would have access to the digitized titles, in full text versions, through the libraries of UNAM. As it will be shown, more than two years after this project began, UNAM community still does not have access to the full text version of the books published by UNAM that Google digitsize.

Dear reader,

Library and Information Science Critique: Journal of the Sciences of Information brings you its third double number (corresponding to its number 2 of the volume 2 and the number 1 of the volume 3). We want to give you an apology in advance for the delay we had, but we appeal and thank you for your understanding since our editorial project is an independent Open Access project conducted with a collective and international effort of volunteers, which is not free from all the viscicitudes faced by its participants. And in this case the edition has been conducted completely by Zapopan Martn Muela-Meza. However, the wait has been worthwhile, and we thank you for that earnestly, here you have the third double issue. And our journal thanks to you keeps alive and kicking, and arrives reinvigorating to its third volume launching its double number (Vol 2 No. 2 & Vol. 3 No.1). For the next numbers keep in mind these important dates: December 30, 2010 deadline to receive contributions for the no. 2 of vol 3 (July-December 2010 issue) to be published on January 30, 2011; May 30, 2011 deadline no.1 of vol 4 (Jan-Jun 2011); October 30, 2011 deadline for no.2 of vol.4 (Jul-Dec 2011).

What are the contents of this issue of LIS Critique? In this number you will find 6 contributions (3 articles and 3 essays) of 7 authors (6 Mexican and 1 Argentinian) who were kind enough to collaborate with this number. To learn more about the credentials of these authors, at the end of each contribution is appended their biographical profiles.

Zapopan Martn Muela-Meza (MEXICO) begins the critical debates of the Articles section with his contribution: The social class struggles concept with an interdisciplinary approach: a paramount concept for research in library and information science (LIS). In this paper he addresses that this concept emerged as part of the theoretical framework of his doctoral thesis (Muela-Meza, 2010): An Application of Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers: Perceptions from the People of the Broomhall Neighbourhood of Sheffield, UK. The relevance of his contribution, besides the fact of bringing forward the concept of social class to the international debate in the sciences of information recorded in documents, like library and information science (LIS), is the fact of being configured as stuggles in the Marxist sense, social class struggles (Marx and Engels, [1848] 1976a). However, in addition to this philosophical concept that is politically and ideologically very controversial and broadly denied in LIS research, other social sciences and the humanities, the


author has complemented it with the concept of dominance hierarchy from the natural sciences (Hauser, 2006; Sagan and Druyan, 1992). This concept configured and complemented with such approaches helped the author in his doctoral thesis to understand better the underlying controversial issues behind social classes and human conflicts. It also helped him to understand better the contradictions between people (e.g. LIS users with contradictory and mutually exclusive information needs to be provided by libraries and other institutions of information recorded in documents), and how these intensify when these are interrelated with the social class they belong to (Muela-Meza, 2007).

Another relevant aspect of this contribution is that the author not only explains the arguments that are in favour to the data and results that emerged in such doctoral research, but also he includes those contrasting arguments to confront his analysis. Hence, he addresses a sound critique against the partisans of the capitalist or bourgeois class who through their rhetorical ploys such as social capital and community cohesion of the postmodernist pseudoscience the pretend fallaciously to deceit LIS theorists and practitioners. He also criticizes rigorously the pseudoscience of postmodernism and its ideologues and followers because they pretend to undermine the rational logic fundamental to LIS and the rest of sciences. And he suggests that LIS theorists and practitioners employ the social class struggles concept as configured here in order to understand better contradictions, conflicts, and struggles within LIS theory and practice, and also to search for broader epistemological aims such as justice and wisdom (Fleissner and Hofkirchner, 1998), concealed by the capitalist or bourgeois and middle classes for their benefit against working class.

Federico Zeballos (ARGENTINA), with his contribution: The banning of reading in Cordoba (Argentina): Elements for its study, conducted a thorough and well grounded critique to the banning of reading in libraries of Cordoba, Argentina, by analysing documents since the Spaniard colonization up to the recent past related to the military dictatorships of extreme right in such country. He presents some cases of censorship in different types of libraries: university, public, school, popular and particular, where he highlights two of the first public bonfires of forbidden books carried out in Cordoba, pyromaniac practice to be later reproduced in numerous cities of Argentina and America (the whole American continent not U.S.A.). The paper is supported with accounts from directors and top managers who worked in libraries in those days; photographs of book bonfires and records of banned books; institutional documents such as royen and school resolutions, and statutory notes.

As part of the analysis that he conducts of the happenings in Cordoba, he makes a strong critique against such fascist oppression against Argentinian citizens, in this case through their memory recorded in documents:

A common characteristic to all totalitarian regimes of the world, through all times, and from the most diverse ideological inclinations, has been (and it is) the systematic destruction of the heritage of culture and identity that they consider their enemy (either external or internal), as a basic strategy of domination against the opponent.

Thus, the bibliographic pyres aroused as a strong intimidatory message sent to all the community. Within this they included the public exposure of the kidnapped books, the exordium of some


authorities, the shooting of photographs before and during the burnings, and the later propaganda of the happening in various communication media.

Felipe Meneses-Tello (MEXICO), who since this number has become a new member of the Editorial Board of our journal, closes the Articles section, and he continues with the critical debates with his contribution: Universities, libraries, presses, and jails: spaces of education, reading, and theoretical work of the revolutionary proletarian intellectual. In this he makes a critical examination of how universities, libraries, presses, and jails through their documents (books, periodicals, pamphlets, etc.) have served the revolutionaries of all times, but in particular to those of the proletariat, of whom he makes a sound recount of the Bolshevik Revolution. However, from a vast array of institutions, he highlights that libraries have had more preeminence in such self-taught instruction and theoretical possession of the proletarian intelligentsia:

Without fear to be mistaken, the most representative and praised institution between the revolutionary thinkers of the working class has been the library underground and legal--, since it has been the space where they have spent considerable time of their lives. The various biographic works about the plethora that has lead the labour movement in the world support this statement. Hence, the intense work in a huge diversity of libraries is an essential phenomenon to study and analyse the central leaders of the revolutionary intellectuality.

Jose Angel Gonzalez-Castillo and Carlos Alberto Martinez-Hernandez (MEXICO), open the section of Essays with their contribution: Conformist trends in the laboring discourse and reality of librarians in Mexico. These authors have conducted a thorough critique against some of the most notorious and pernicious elements of the invasion of the capitalist and bourgeois ideas and practices in the theory and practice of librarianship in Mexico. Their critique comprises the current Mexican federal government of Felipe Calderon; the General Directorate of Libraries (DGB) of the National Network of Libraries (RNB) of the National Council for Culture and Arts (CONACULTA) from that government; LIS education at the Department of Library and Information Science of the School of Philosophy and Letters of the Mexico National Autonomous University (UNAM), and the National School of Library and Information Science and Archives (ENBA) of the Secretary of Public Education (SEP) of the Mexican federal government. They mainly focused their critique on two commentators (Hernndez Pacheco, 2007; Arriola Navarrete, 2006) whom through their library practice openly hold the political ideologies of the capitalist and bourgeois right within librarianship. They argue that such capitalist and bourgeois discourse fosters a conformist attitude amongst LIS theorists and practitioners, that charichaturises LIS theory, and that even worst, that affects the labour rights of the personnel of the Mexican public libraries.

Horacio Crdenas Zardoni (MEXICO) continues with the critical debates with his essay: What if librarians became professors? The labour problems of librarians that work in state public libraries.In this essay he makes a comprehensive and critical literature review related to job descriptions of library personnel from 20 Mexican public universities, and he makes a sound critique to the fact that librarians are not considered with faculty (professorship) rank, but only as a mere managerial worker, without the recognition or advantages of the former and without the possibilities for the betterment of the latter.


Gonzalo Clemente Lara Pacheco (MEXICO), closes the section of Essays with his contribution: Books of the Mexico National Autonomous University (UNAM) through Google: two years later. The author continues a debate he started himself in our journal two years ago (Lara Pacheco, 2008). He criticizes and questions the corporate discourse of Google with UNAM as well as with all other libraries in the world that already have agreements with them--, that after two years of established such agreement the UNAM community has not received any benefits. In addition, he criticises that the digitization processes conducted by UNAM have been more efficient than those of Google, thus he also criticises and questions the technological capacities of Google as deficient, at least as compared with those of UNAM.

Hence, without further preface, we leave you at your hands with this sound collective and international effort for you to submit it to your rigorous critique and analysis. Get involved reading the debates offered in these three numbers since 2008, and even more, get involved in our editorial project by submitting your critical contributions.

Thank you for keeping our journal alive with your critical reading and even better with your critical contributions too!
