Revisiting C. H. Milam's What Libraries Learned from the War and Rediscovering the Library Faith

Abstract

As 2003 unfolds and the world is again troubled with the immediate threat of multinational military conflicts, it is an appropriate time to remember the pioneering contributions made by librarians during a previous conflict, World War I. Although colleagues from this time are now gone, their accomplishments set standards for service that librarians still strive to emulate today. These accomplishments are chronicled in historical accounts of the period and in an obscure Library Leaflet series from the U.S. Bureau of Education. 1
