Social Responsibility and Librarianship: A Dilemma of Professionalism.
Stevens, Debra
Canadian Library Journal, v46 n1 p17-22 Feb 1989
Reviews the social responsibilities traditionally recognized as directly related to librarianship and explores the question of whether librarians should take positions on broader social issues. Arguments on both sides are presented and some of the philosophical and professional concerns that should be addressed are discussed. (20 references) (CLB)
