The relationship of information science to librarianship—problems and scientific training

Vincent E. Giuliano

American Documentation, 1969, vol. 20, issue 4, 344-345

Abstract: Professional librarianship if compared to medicine would have Schools of Hospitalitarianship where eventually the administrators, the professional staff as well as the nonprofessionals would become hospitalitarians. It is suggested that rather than associating the profession with the institution of the library, that it define its function as that of knowledge transfer. The analogy is to an M.D., whose function is to prevent disease and cure people.
