Images From The 1876 Report by Charley Seavey School of Information Science and Learning Tchnologies University of Missouri Page written summer, 1998 While at the University of Arizona 1876 was a banner year for libraries in the United States. Almost every introductory course in schools of library and information science will list all the things that happened in that year: In No Particular Order: 1. The American Library Association is founded. Library Journal is founded. 3. The first edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification is published. 4. Custer got creamed. 5. The U.S. Bureau of Education publishes Public Libraries in the United States of America: Their History, Condition, and Management, widely referred to as the 1876 Report The title page for the 1876 Report is the background image for this and succeeding pages, and is reproduced in more legible form here Most librarians, even the non-historically minded, need no introduction to the first four events listed above. Well, ok, number 4 is a ringer. The others are all still with us, albeit in rather different form than their 19th Century origins. The 1876 Report is rather a different matter. It is, to be sure, widely cited. Jesse Shera and Sidney Ditzion in writing on public libraries make extensive use of the document.[

173. Il000109.html - Celebrating A Century Of Service To Children Article from Illinois libraries which examines the history of the Children's Services Department at the Champaign public Library from 18991999. http://www.lib.niu.edu/ipo/il000109.html

Home Search Browse About IPO ... Links Celebrating a Century of Service to Children: A History of Children's Services at the Champaign Public Library, 1899 -1999 Elizabeth Fathauer and Mike Rogalla At a time when only a handful of America's public libraries offered such services, and nearly eight years before Chicago would do the same, the Champaign Public Library opened a children's department in September 1899. Champaign was a pioneer in responding to the needs of children, and, a century later, is still committed to getting kids "reading and ready for tomorrow"—the theme for the Library's 1999 celebration of 100 years of service to children. A Place Just for Children Children's services are such a vital force in public libraries today that it is difficult to imagine a time when young people were not welcome within library doors. Early public libraries in the United States were intended for adults and children were admitted reluctantly, if at all. But with society's changing view of childhood, the expansion of libraries, and the increased availability of books and periodicals for young people in the mid-nineteenth century, the time was ripe for the development of a service designed uniquely for children. In 1895, the Champaign Public Library offered nearly 700 titles for children. By that time, the library profession was beginning to consider service to children one of its most important missions and a valid area of specialization. What was still missing in Champaign and most other communities was a special place for librarians to reach children. Without a children's room, the Champaign Public Library shelved juvenile books among the adult fiction titles, and children searched for books among the adults—some of whom regarded their youthful presence as an annoyance.

174. Public Library Services For Home Schooling. ERIC Digest. An ERIC Digest article about the different ways that public libraries can serve home schooled students and their home schooling parents. http://www.ericdigests.org/1997-3/public.html

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog Public Library Services for Home Schooling. ERIC Digest. by Masters, Denise G. The term "home schooling" is used to describe the situation where parents or guardians choose not to send their children to public or private schools, but prefer to educate their children by themselves, usually at home. According to Rieseberg (1995), common characteristics of home schooled families include the following: - more than 50% have annual incomes of $25,000 to $55,000 - the parents have attended or graduated from college - more than 90% are white/Anglo in racial/ethnic background - more than 75% attend religious services - the mother is the teacher - learning is highly flexible and individualized - instruction usually begins at age 5 1/2 and the children study at home for at least four years - children are schooled three to fours hours per day and spend additional time in independent study - many conventional subjects are studied with an emphasis on math, reading, and science The reasons why parents decide to home school their children usually fall into two categories: ideological and pedagogical. The ideologues are usually religious fundamentalists who are unhappy with the public school's secular humanist curriculum, and the pedagogues are typically parents who are dissatisfied with the large classes, rigid curricula, and conformity found in traditional schools (Avner, 1989; Wikel, 1995). All states have compulsory education laws which make home schooling an option for parents (Lines, 1995).
