Reviews

In this treasure of a book, Christian A. Nappo offers succinct, fascinating biographical sketches of sixty men and women whose grit, intellectual curiosity, spirit of innovation, and devotion to the profession have shaped the evolution of librarianship. It should be required reading for anyone enrolled in a graduate LIS program. Practicing librarians, also, will treasure the connection this book offers them to the giants of the past. Highly recommended. -- Jeff Weddle, associate professor of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alabama, and author of the Welty Award winning Bohemian New Orleans: The Story of the Outsider and Loujon Press Social and environmental forces may be the major drivers of history, but often the influence of individuals as a factor in historical development is also critical. Librarians are no exceptions in this regard. Just as libraries have been both conduits and agents of change, their most prominent librarians, as Pioneers in Librarianship illustrates, have at once mirrored society's ideas and helped shape them. -- Alistair Black, Professor Emeritus, School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
