Rothstein, Samuel

Reference Librarian, n25-26 p225-34 1989

This discussion of the interrelationship between libraries and learning focuses on the development of university libraries. Changing attitudes toward students' involvement in the learning process and expanding curricula are cited as reasons for the growth of university libraries. The professionalization of librarianship and increased participation in the university by libraries are also addressed. (MES)
