The Library in the Vocational School by Sidney Mattis - 1943The mere fact that a chapter on libraries is included in this comprehensive
yearbook on vocational education is substantial evidence
that the vocational-school library is making its influence felt. The
long-held concept that the vocational school which teaches manual
skills holds little room for book learning, and therefore for libraries,
is slowly, but no less positively, going by the board. The advent of
professional librarians in vocational schools, the recruiting of better-educated
shop teachers, and the influence of the academic subjects
have been responsible in part for this change in concept.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 42, No. 1. |
