Humanism and Libraries

André Cossette's Humanism and Libraries is a concise but rigorous investigation into the foundations of librarianship-its definition and its aims. Philosophical and logical in its approach it is intended to provide solid ground and unity for professional practice.Though the work was originally published in French in 1976 in Quebec by ASTED Library Juice Press has found it to have enduring relevance and value and has therefore made this English translation. The book includes a preface that makes the case for reading a work from the 1970s on library philosophy and a set of questions for reflection following the text.
