Library College: Prototype for a Universal Higher Education [ELIS Classic]

The “library-college” concept was an idea that had a brief ascendancy over a decade or two in the field, and then receded not long after Shores wrote this 1975 article, to be replaced by the more modest objectives of providing library instruction for college students. Shores was an influential library professor and library historian. He was an advocate for instruction in library resources, and he founded the journal now known as Libraries and Culture.—ELIS Classic, from 1975
