Until recently, such goals have largely been abstract; they are things like knowledge creation, education, forwarding science, preserving history, supporting democracy, and safeguarding civilization. The modern spirit of social and cultural critique, however, has focused our attention on the concrete, material relationships that determine human potentiality and opportunity, and library workers are increasingly seeing the institution of the library, as well as library work, as embedded in a web of relations that extends beyond the library's traditional sphere of influence. In light of this critical consciousness, more and more library and information science professionals are coming to see themselves as change agents and frontline advocates of social justice issues. This book will serve as a guide for those library workers and related information professionals who disregard traditional ideas of 'library neutrality' and static, idealized conceptions of Western culture. The book will work as an entry point for those just forming a consciousness oriented toward social justice work and will be also be [sic] of value to more experienced 'transformative library workers' as an up-to-date supplement to their praxis." -- rear cover. 606 $aLibrary science$xSociological aspects 615 0$aLibrary science$xSociological aspects. 676 $a020.1 700 $aBales$b Stephen$0752601 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583091003321 996 $aSocial justice and library work$91513420 997 $aUNINA
