• Alistair Black: the public library is viewed
superficially as an uncontroversial cultural
institution, without a history, meaning all
things to all people and commanding a ready
acceptance which verges on the taken for
granted. Its social neutrality and impartiality
are almost mythical.
Scott Bennett: learning paradigms in libraries
Munn and Pitt: “The frankness with which the
librarian insisted that it is the institute’s function
to ‘amuse the ratepayers, not to edify them’,
was at least completely honest.”
Scott Bennett: learning paradigms in libraries
McShane’s modification of Bennett
