Certification of Public Librarians in the United States; A Detailed Summary of Legal and Voluntary Certification Plans for Public Librarians Based on Information Supplied by the Various Certificating State Agencies or other Appropriate Sources, 2nd Edition.
Frame, Ruth R.; Coyne, John R.
Contained in this report is a detailed summary of legal and voluntary certification plans for public librarians in each of the 50 states. Descriptions of the certification plans for public librarians are based on information supplied by state agencies in September 1971. Each plan is identified by the descriptive terms--mandatory, permissive or voluntary. Mandatory certification is required by state law. Specific penalties for failure to comply are included in the statutes and codes of some of the states. Permissive certification is sanctioned by state law, but not compulsory. Voluntary certification has no legal basis, and is generally sponsored by a state library association. States which have no certification law or plan are also listed. (Author/SJ)
