Editorial Reviews

In order to ultimately improve the poor public and self-image of the librarianship profession, the Dutch Center for Public Libraries and Literature conducted a worldwide study querying librarians about professional status concerns and proposed solutions; the survey questionnaire and follow-up interview topics are appended. Discussed are the causes of low prestige and poor self-image, the study methodology, and results confirming the problem. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
