• W1571248832 abstract "Commentaries and expressions of concern over the direction, future, and ultimate survival of librarianship parallel the development and widespread acceptance of an impressive array of information technologies. From desktops to cellular phones to satellite-based communication systems to the Internet, digital information technologies are believed to be at the center of the radical transformations affecting our social and cultural landscape as well as our most cherished institutions. The potential of new technologies to support the needs of communities is already being felt in the way we view our environment and our associations and relationships in the public and private spheres of our lives. Our future, the future of our society and communities--at least by most accounts--is in the process of being defined and shaped by digital information technologies. However, along with the development and introduction of information systems and services that would have been unimaginable twenty or thirty years ago, an examination of professional and academic discourse on librarianship suggests a great deal of uncertainty on how to interpret the status of our profession. Furthermore, to date no consensus on the long-term prospects of what is undoubtedly the most important community- and service-oriented information profession has emerged. The diversity of opinions is at least in part the result of the conflicts that arise from the different philosophical perspectives on the relationship between technology and the human experience. While these conflicts are likely to persist, the present circumstances suggest the need for a sociological model capable of providing an interpretative framework for the ongoing transformations. This model should treat the changes affecting librarianship not as isolated phenomena but rather as only a component of a much broader social and cultural pattern. In the context of librarianship, to make sense of what is going on requires moving beyond the narrow confines of the profession and relating the transformations affecting librarianship to what is happening to communities elsewhere. At this point, I would argue that the professional and academic debate on the present and future status of librarianship--by virtue of being focused exclusively on technology--overlooks other important and more fundamental issues. Whether this oversight is deliberate and a reflection of a desire to avoid a painful reality is open to question. However, in the absence of systematic critical scrutiny and informed resistance, powerful ideological forces continue their relentless assault against the traditional structures of librarianship and the role of librarians in supporting and meeting the needs of learning communities. It also seems that few people recognize that the problems and long-term survival prospects for librarianship are not related to technology. Let me say that again, as it is not a misprint. As I see it, the transformations of librarianship have nothing to do with technological developments. Librarianship is not being threatened by the emergence of digital information systems, networks, or the increasing influence of the Internet or any other system. Librarianship is, in itself, as I will explain in detail later, a technology. This issue seems to have escaped the attention of commentators and created a debate that is highly repetitive and unproductive. To move forward, we need to reconceptualize the problem of technology and, more importantly, link technology to culture and the social hierarchy that is embedded in the way professions are developed, structured, regulated, perceived, and practiced. We need to examine and understand how existing hierarchies of dominance create and organize the social landscape and the role of the different institutions and communities situated in the social space we occupy. To encourage a reinterpretation of the problems faced by our profession and the ways in which librarians and libraries support communities, I would like to put forward an alternative perspective. …" @default.
