摘要

This work grew out of “Capturing Our Stories: Developing a National Oral History Program for Retiring/Retired Librarians,” a project organized by 2007/2008 ALA President Loriene Roy, who also wrote the preface to this work. The aim of this oral history project, which can be viewed at https://www.ischool.utexas.edu /~stories/, was to collect and record interviews from retired librarians in an effort to preserve their stories, experiences, and remembrances, all of which reflect the collective social memories of the library profession. A. Arro Smith, who was involved in organizing and implementing the project, continues supporting Roy’s mission through this book. In this work, which serves to supplement and analyze the oral history project, Smith offers a qualitative study that identifies trends and repeated themes addressed by the thirty-five interviewees, all of whom are retirees from the profession. Smith, through the use of oral history theories and methodologies, sets out to present and explore the “unique stories of the everyday lives of librarians” (ix) and “the story of librarianship in the last half of the twentieth century [as] told by thirty-five individuals” (xvii). Through doing so, Smith argues, a “‘social memory’ of librarianship” (2) can be constructed. Much like the oral history project itself, Smith argues that it is vital to capture and examine the stories and experiences of this now-retired generation of librarians, as their careers spanned an era of significant change within the library profession. From typewriter to computer, card catalog to OPAC, phone to chat reference, this generation of librarians lived through a defining transitional moment in librarianship.

Arro Smith通过本书继续支持Roy的使命。在这项旨在补充和分析口述历史项目的工作中,史密斯提供了定性研究,可以确定由35名受访者(他们都是该行业的退休人员)解决的趋势和重复主题。史密斯通过口述历史理论和方法论,着手介绍和探索“图书馆员日常生活的独特故事”(ix)和“二十世纪后半叶的图书馆员的故事”。三十五个人”(xvii)。史密斯认为,通过这样做,可以构建图书馆员的“社会记忆”(2)。就像口述历史项目本身一样,史密斯认为,至关重要的是捕捉和研究如今退休的这一代图书馆员的故事和经历,因为他们的职业生涯跨越了图书馆界重大变革的时代。从打字机到计算机,从卡片目录到OPAC,从电话到聊天参考,这一代图书馆员生活在一个确定的图书馆学过渡时期。
