This work provides a comprehensive examination of the life and professional career of E.J Josey within the broader historical and political landscape of the civil rights movement. In the era of Jim Crow, Josey rose to prominence in the library profession by challenging the American Library Association (ALA) to live up to its creed of equality for all. This was not easy during the 1950s and 1960s, during segregation. Using interviews with Josey and his contemporaries, as well as several archival sources, library educator Renate Chancellor analyzes Josey’s leadership, particularly within modern day racial currents. During his professional career, spanning over fifty years (1952-2002), Josey worked as a librarian (1953-1966), an administrator of library services (1966-1986), and as a professor of library science (1986-1995). He also served as President of the American Library Association and perhaps his most notable achievement, he successfully drafted a resolution that prevented state library associations from discriminating against African American librarians. This essentially ended segregation in the ALA. Josey’s transformative leadership provides a model to tackle today’s civil rights challenges both in and outside the library profession.This authoritative work copublished by the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) documents for the historical record a significant period of history that is underexplored in the scholarly literature. The target audience for this book are researchers, historians, LIS educators and students interested in understanding the complex struggle for civil and human rights in professional organizations.

Inglorious Pedagogy
Difficult, Unpopular, and Uncommon Topics in Library and Information Science Education

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Topics and issues in library and information science education pedagogy are commonly discussed in panels, conferences, peer-reviewed articles, professional articles, and dedicated monographs. However, in this abundance of education-oriented discussions, there are several noticeable gaps and omissions. Not always do education-oriented publications involve theoretical grounding that could make them stronger in argumentation and more generalizable to other contexts. Addressing these gaps, the book stands to strengthen the less covered areas of library and information science (LIS) pedagogical thought; it enriches a theoretical foundation of pedagogical discourse and broadens its scope. This volume brings together a collection of essays from LIS educators from around the world who delve into difficult, unpopular, and uncommonly discussed topics—the inglorious pedagogy, as we call it—based on their practice and scholarship. Presenting perspectives from Australia, Canada, China, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, each chapter is a case study, rooted not only in the author’s experience but also in a solid theoretical or analytical framework that helps the reader make sense of the situations, behaviors, impact, and human emotions involved in each. The collective thought woven in the book chapters leads the reader through the milestones of (in)glorious pedagogy to a better understanding of the potentially transformative nature and wasted opportunities of graduate LIS education and higher education in general.
Information and Consciousness

Information and Consciousness: An Exploration connects information and consciousness in ways that will open up potential inquiry into what information is, how it works, and its relationship to human consciousness. Information has been taken to mean many things in the past; the risk has been that, if it is taken to mean everything, it may mean nothing. In this book, information’s definition is restricted to the inclusion of meaning and truth in discursive action. Consciousness, for its part, has frequently been taken to refer to the material workings of the brain. Recent inquiry has led to a broadening to embrace the human body and the environment in extended consciousness.Using these two conceptions, the connections between information and consciousness are explored. The book includes a unique definition of information that centers on discursive action, meaning, and truth; the role of sign systems—semiotics—and how it is connected to what information is; a critique of the standard model of consciousness, and an investigation of alternatives; an alternative to embodied/extended consciousness as a preferred model, and an exploration of its role with respect to information; and more.The book aims to make connections between what informs humans and what humans are conscious of. Anyone who is concerned with how people identify what informs will be interested in the entirety of the work. The author provides readers with the foundation they need to understand the most common conceptions of what information and consciousness are. Information and Consciousness also looks into the future for enquiry. Presenting a different way of conceiving information and consciousness, the book shows a way forward for enquiry and education.

Explore a multi-dimensional and nuanced view of disability and neurodiversity in the Library and Information Science workforce from those directly impacted in the field. Despite significant progress in improving the inclusion of disabled and neurodiverse patrons in libraries and information organizations of all types, much more work is needed to change the situation in the Library & Information Science (LIS) workforce. No true inclusion of community members can be achieved if disabled and neurodiverse patrons are not adequately represented in the library workforce. Disabled and neurodiverse graduates of LIS programs cannot always find fulfilling employment or are employed below their qualifications, if they manage to integrate in the job market at all post-graduation.This volume offers a multi-dimensional view of disability and neurodiversity in the LIS workforce by combining the narratives of disabled and neurodiverse library staff with those of their colleagues and peers, as well as their supervisors and managers. It reflects the array of experience from various types of libraries and information settings. Featuring chapters on theory and practice, annotated bibliography and resource compilation, this book is more than just a window into the current issues, it is a call to build a more inclusive and accessible future.
