Uniting a Profession: The Australian Institute of Librarians 1937-1949
ISBN 9780868045658 (pbk)
Uniting a profession is a fascinating analysis of the successes and failures of an Australian professional association and of the dynamic leaders of the library profession of the time. This work casts new light on libraries and librarians during twelve critical years of library progress and development in Australia. It meticulously chronicles events, provides pen portraits of the key figures, and is a corporate biography of an association which began modestly and led to an association, which seventy years later, has international stature. By Jean P Whyte and David J Jones.
