We Are All Iraqis
April 17, 2008
Every librarian must read Rebecca Lossin’s “Iraq’s Ruined Library Soldiers On,” in the Nation online. As Lossin, a graduate student in the School of Information and Library Science at Pratt Institute in New York, points out “the lack of solidarity from the American community of librarians and scholars for their Iraqi counterparts is shameful.” American librarianship can take many cues from these embattled Iraqi librarians. Our own professional fate at the hands of our various levels of government is less disastrous, but disaster lurks near every library budget hearing this year.
