Aus der programmatischen Zusammenfassung:
p. 153: "The knowledge base of librarianship must continue to rely on a
multiplicity of disciplines, not information or communications theory
alone. Not only the social sciences, but the humanities and the arts can
serve as fertile sources of knowledge and understanding during a time of
dynamic change.
Librarians should recognize that their professional ideologies
embodies political values and reject the market-driven, neo-conservative
politics of the myth of the electronic library. They must remain
committed to promoting the widest possible access to knowledge by
opposing censorship, fees for service, and the monopolization of
information by any public or private group or organization. However, they
should also examine the liberal tenets of librarianship in the light of
the communitarian critique of liberalism."
