Conservatism Futures (of Society) Information Technology Library Science Political Attitudes Professional Recognition Social Change Social Responsibility Social Values Describes dominant political trends in librarianship, including the adoption of political neutrality as a means toward acquiring professional status, conservatism, and a willingness to allow government and business to define professional roles.
