David Shavit

SUMMARY

Public librarians do not usually see themselves as politicians. However, as decision-makers in an institutional setting, affected by a variety of pressures and conflicting interests, they are involved in politics in both the broad and narrow sense. Moreover, recent developments in the public library system have brought the librarian directly into the political sphere. Professor Shavit's study, the first major work on the subject in over 35 years, fills a major gap in scholarship on the public library in the political process and provides a detailed survey of the political context in which the modern library functions.David Shavit is the author of 'The Politics of Public Librarianship (New Directions in Information Management)', published 1986 under ISBN 9780313248160 and ISBN 0313248168.
