| contents | A Portrait of Librarianship in Developing Societies. Occasional Paper Number 148. Briquet de Lemos, Antonio A. Cataloging Cultural Influences Developed Nations Developing Nations Higher Education Libraries Library Acquisition Library Material Selection Library Science Public Libraries Publishing Industry Socioeconomic Influences A Brazilian librarian with international experience reviews a cross-section of the literature on libraries and librarianship in developing countries as reported by observers from developed countries, deploring tendencies to make comparisons which imply value judgements, use models which reflect the experience of industrialized societies, display cultural biases, and extrapolate limited personal experience in one country or a limited area to the whole Third World. Varying factors discussed include definitions of developing and underdevelopment used to identify "developing countries," theories put forward to explain the causes of underdevelopment, and nonrecognition of cultural heritages not based on literacy. Unvarying variables examined via the literature are book publishing and reading, the educational system and the use of books, nonselection and quasi-acquisition of materials, cataloging and classification problems, books for use versus books for posterity, library cooperation, and the outlook for the development of public libraries. It is concluded that the final responsibility for coming to terms with user's needs withing the limitations, constraints, and potentialities of their respective societies rests on librarians from the developing world.
