Library school objectives are characterized in
terms of research, teaching, and student recruitment.
The absence of a theoretical framework for much
of what is being taught, the small amount of research
in library schools, and the shortage of library school
teachers are cited as major problems of library
schools. Increased interest in the problems of librarianship
by researchers in other areas, higher
salaries for library school teachers and beginning
librarians, and increased financial support for research
and scholarships are given as encouraging
signs of progress toward the solution of these problems.
