The  Main  Reading  Room  of  the  University  Library 


Librarianship  as  a  Career 


Librarianship  is  an  old  and  honored  profession.  Libraries  have  existed 
from  ancient  times,  and  in  the  last  century  they  have  grown  greatly  in 
size  and  number.  In  recent  years  particularly,  with  the  spread  of  popular 
democratic  education,  the  deepened  acquaintance  of  man  with  himself 
and  his  world,  and  the  tremendous  additions  to  recorded  knowledge, 
there  have  come  notable  increases  in  the  collections  and  services  of  li- 
braries. This  appears  strikingly  in  the  enlarged  advisory  and  informational 
facilities  of  public  libraries,  the  enhanced  place  of  libraries  in  public 
schools,  the  augmenting  of  materials  for  study  and  research  in  colleges 
and  universities,  and  the  establishment  of  important  libraries  in  many 
business  and  industrial  concerns.  The  expansion  in  the  responsibilities  of 
librarians  has  brought  with  it  a  pressing  need  of  special  preparation  for 
their  work. 

The  conduct  of  libraries  today  calls  for  men  and  women  of  attrac- 
tive personality  and  high  intellectual  attainment,  coupled  with  rigorous 
academic  and  professional  training.  A  library  career  implies  dedication 
to  the  service  of  people  and  to  the  enrichment  of  human  life,  but  its 
satisfactions  are  commensurate  with  the  demands.  The  work  carried  on 
by  librarians  is  interesting,  of  infinite  variety,  and  mentally  stimulating. 
The  daily  impact  upon  it  of  new  conditions  calls  for  alertness,  adaptabil- 
ity, and  the  exercise  of  imagination  and  ingenuity. 


Opportunities  in  Library  Work 

There  are  two  main  kinds  of  library  work  for  which  students  may  pre- 
pare. They  are  by  no  means  mutually  exclusive  and  in  only  the  very 
largest  libraries  can  there  be  complete  separation  of  the  two  kinds  of 
activities. 

The  first  of  these  is  reader  services.  In  this  classification  are  grouped 
those  duties  which  bring  the  librarian  into  close  relationship  with  users  of 
the  library.  They  include  reference  work,  reading  guidance  and  advisory 
service,  and  activities  associated  with  the  circulation  of  materials  to 
readers.  Such  positions  call  for  personnel  who  enjoy  working  directly  with 
people,  who  have  a  natural  capacity  for  teaching,  and  who  have  a  wide 
knowledge  of  books. 

The  other  is  technical  services.  These  have  to  do  with  the  selection 
and  acquisition  of  the  materials  added  to  a  library,  the  organization,  ar- 
rangement, and  indexing  of  those  materials  so  that  they  can  be  easily 
found  and  used,  and  all  the  other  details  of  daily  library  operation  and 
maintenance. 

Both  of  these  broad  classifications  of  duties  are  carried  on  in  four 
main  types  of  library  institutions: 

1.  public  libraries.  Generally,  public  libraries  are  those  which  circulate 
books  for  home  use  free  of  charge  to  anyone  wishing  to  use  the  library 
services.  However,  they  carry  on  many  activities  besides  the  dispensing 
of  books.  Usually,  but  not  always,  they  are  supported  by  public  funds. 
Public  libraries  may  be  organized  in  a  single  community,  such  as  a  town 
or  city,  but  frequently  they  are  set  up  on  a  larger  basis,  as  is  the  county 
or  regional  library.  In  such  cases  the  library  may  be  a  traveling  one, 
bringing  its  resources  to  readers  in  a  bookmobile. 

2.  school  libraries.  These  are  the  libraries  and  instructional  materials 
centers  connected  with  public  elementary  and  secondary  schools.  They  are 
growing  rapidly  in  number  and  importance,  and  in  recent  years  state  and 
regional  standards  for  them  have  risen  steadily. 

3.  college,  university,  and  research  libraries.  These  include  the  libraries 
connected  with  colleges  and  universities  and  containing  the  study  and 
research  materials  for  the  students  and  facilities  of  those  institutions.  They 
also  include  such  large  general  research  libraries  as  the  New  York  Public 
Library  and  the  Library  of  Congress. 

4.  special  libraries.  Under  this  heading  are  grouped  the  libraries  asso- 
ciated with  commercial  and  industrial  establishments,  hospitals,  museums, 


professional  schools,  and  many  governmental  agencies.  They  are  usually 
relatively  small  in  size,  are  restricted  to  one  or  a  few  subjects,  and  serve 
limited  groups  of  readers. 

Preparation  for  both  types  of  service  in  all  four  different  categories 
of  libraries  may  be  secured  at  the  University  of  Illinois  Library  School. 


Background  for  Professional  Study 

For  a  career  in  library  work,  a  sound,  well-balanced  intellectual  back- 
ground is  needed.  By  its  nature,  the  work  of  the  librarian  is  far-ranging 
and  encyclopedic  in  subject  coverage,  even  in  the  most  highly  specialized 
libraries.  History,  literature,  the  social  sciences,  the  natural  sciences,  and 
foreign  languages  are  all  valuable  to  the  prospective  librarian. 

In  addition  to  a  broad  general  education,  the  student  should  develop 
a  strong  major  in  some  subject  area  during  his  last  two  years  of  under- 
graduate work  or  in  graduate  study.  Such  subjects  as  chemistry,  physics, 
musicology,  education,  engineering,  law,  agricultural  sciences,  art,  and 
history  are  particularly  needed  in  modern  library  development  and  when 
combined  with  library  training  lead  to  a  great  variety  of  interesting,  well- 
paid  library  positions. 

The  knowledge  of  foreign  languages  which  the  student  should  ac- 
quire before  entering  the  Library  School  varies  with  the  type  of  library 
work  in  which  he  is  interested.  In  some  fields  a  knowledge  of  one  foreign 
language  is  sufficient.  For  bibliographical  work,  reference,  cataloging, 
and  most  types  of  work  in  college,  university,  and  other  scholarly  libraries, 
a  reading  knowledge  of  at  least  two  modern  foreign  languages,  preferably 
French  and  German,  is  desirable. 


The  Library  School 


-z 


The  University  of  Illinois  Library  School  is  one  of  four  such  institutions 

which  originated  in  the  initial  decade  of  education  for  librarianship  in 

|j  the   United  States,  being  an   outgrowth   of  the   first   established   in   the 

:$  Middle   West.   Founded  in    1893   at  Armour   Institute   in   Chicago,   the 

-_  School  moved  to  Urbana  when  a  new  building  became  available  to  it  and 

to  the  University  Library  in  1897.  It  has  enjoyed  continuous  university 

.5  affiliation  longer  than  any  other  library  school  in  the  United  States.  The 

S  major  program  now  operates  in  association  with  the  University  of  Illinois 

_e  Graduate  College.  The  standards  of  the  School  always  have  been  high;  it 

s~,  has  been  a  member  of  the  Association  of  American  Library  Schools  since 

the  inception  of  that  body;  and  it  is  accredited  by  the  Committee  on 

ee.  Accreditation   of   the   American   Library   Association.    Its    living   alumni 

number  about  four  thousand   persons,   who  are   contributing   to   library 

work    of   various   kinds    throughout    the    United    States    and    in    foreign 

countries. 

The  purpose  of  the  Library  School  is  to  equip  young  men  and 
women  for  professional  work  in  the  fields  of  service  and  kinds  of  libraries 
described  on  page  8.  Preparation  rests  mainly  on  basic  studies  which  are 
essential  for  any  library  position,  although  emphasis  in  particular  direc- 
tions is  possible  through  the  individual  projects  which  may  be  developed 
in  most  courses.  More  specialized  work  may  be  pursued  in  advanced 
courses.  Programs  of  study  are  on  the  graduate  level  and  lead  to  the 
degrees  of  Master  of  Science  and  Doctor  of  Philosophy.  The  curricula 
leading  to  these  degrees,  together  with  the  conditions  for  pursuing  them, 
are  described  later  in  this  announcement.

FACILITIES  AND   EQUIPMENT 

The  Library  School  is  located  on  the  third  floor  of  the  main  building 
of  the  University  of  Illinois  Library.  There  it  has  classrooms,  offices  for 
faculty  and  administrative  staff,  and  accommodations  for  its  library  and 
demonstration  laboratory  as  described  on  page  13. 

Library  School  Library 

The  special  library  of  the  School  contains  more  than  20,000  bound 
volumes,  28,000  library  reports,  and  uncataloged  materials  occupying 
about  thirty-five  drawers  of  vertical  files.  All  known  periodicals  con- 
cerned with  library  science  are  received,  as  well  as  numerous  journals 
in  the  related  fields  of  publishing,  printing,  book  reviewing,  communi- 
cations, education,  and  visual  aids.  The  holdings  of  the  library  have  been 
assembled  over  many  years  and  afford  a  liberal  basis  for  research. 
Supplementing  the  printed  resources  are  approximately  two  hundred 
microfilms  of  theses  and  other  items,  and  various  audio-visual  materials, 
including  lantern  slides,  16  millimeter  films,  recordings,  maps,  and 
pictures. 

Besides  the  main  collection  in  the  library  there  are  about  4,000 
volumes  for  children  and  young  people,  for  use  in  courses  on  children's 
literature.  Children's  interests  from  the  preschool  age  through  adolescence 
are  represented,  especially  in  picture  books,  nursery  tales,  folk  literature, 
and  biography. 

The  University  Library 

The  University  Library  has  more  than  2,840,000  volumes  in  the  main 
and  departmental  libraries  on  the  Urbana-Champaign  campus,  128,000 
volumes  on  the  campus  of  the  Chicago  Professional  Colleges,  and  79,000 
volumes  in  the  Undergraduate  Division  at  Chicago.  Other  items  in  the 
form  of  manuscripts,  prints,  maps,  music  scores,  films,  recordings,  and 
partially  cataloged  pamphlets  make  the  complete  count  about  3,700,000. 

The  main  building  of  the  Library  has  special  rooms  for  materials 
in  the  fields  of  classics;  commerce,  sociology,  and  social  work;  education, 
philosophy,  and  psychology;  English  language  and  literature;  Germanic 
and  Romance  languages;  history  and  political  science;  maps;  newspapers; 
physical  education;  rare  books;  and  an  Undergraduate  Library. 

Departmental  libraries  in  other  buildings  on  the  campus  maintain 
book  collections  and  services  devoted  to  the  following  special  subjects: 
agriculture,    architecture,    astronomy,    ceramics,    chemistry,    engineering, 


12 


home  economics,  journalism,  labor  and  industrial  relations,  landscape 
architecture,  law,  mathematics,  music,  natural  history  (biological  sci- 
ences), physics,  and  veterinary  medicine.  Two  browsing  rooms,  one  in 
the  main  Library  building  and  the  other  in  the  Illini  Union  Building, 
provide  specially  selected  collections  of  books  for  recreational  reading. 

Demonstration  Laboratory 

The  audio-visual  service  of  the  Library  School,  and  the  training  related 
to  it,  are  centered  in  the  Demonstration  Laboratory.  The  primary  re- 
sponsibilities of  the  Laboratory  include  aid  to  faculty  and  students  in 
selection,  preparation,  and  presentation  of  audio-visual  materials;  formal 
and  informal  instruction  concerning  them;  supervision  of  research  and 
projects  dealing  with  film,  radio,  and  television;  maintenance  of  displays 
in  corridors  and  on  bulletin  boards;  and  the  occasional  production  of 
specialized  teaching  materials. 

Working  in  cooperation  with  the  Library  of  the  Library  School,  the 
Demonstration  Laboratory  utilizes  the  general  resources  of  the  University 
Library.  It  also  draws  upon  the  film  collection  of  the  Visual  Aids  Service 
of  the  University's  Extension  Division,  the  University's  radio  station 
WILL,  Television-Motion  Pictures,  and  the  Photographic  Laboratory. 
It  has  a  suite  of  specially  fitted  rooms  which  accommodate  its  collection 
of  teaching  aids,  including  examples  of  modern  library  equipment; 
photographs  and  models  of  library  buildings;  projectors  for  motion  pic- 
tures, film  strips,  and  slides;  and  recorders  using  discs  and  tape.  The 
space  allows  for  simultaneous  preparation  of  exhibits,  projection  and 
recording,  informal  demonstrations,  and  class  meetings. 

FEATURES  AND  ACTIVITIES 

Field  Work 

Experience  under  actual  operating  library  conditions  is  provided  in  a 
field  work  program.  The  field  work  consists  of  practice  assignments  in 
the  various  departmental  libraries  and  reading  rooms  of  the  University 
Library,  in  the  libraries  of  University  High  School  and  Urbana  High 
School,  and  in  the  Children's  Room  of  the  Champaign  Public  Library. 

Colloquium 

In  a  series  of  assemblies  throughout  the  year,  Library  School  students 
become  acquainted  with  leaders  in  the  library  profession  and  the  book 


13 


world,  and  hear  and  take  part  in  discussions  led  by  them.  The  range  of 
this  opportunity  is  shown  by  the  list  of  recent  colloquium  contributors 
appearing  on  page  40. 

Laboratory  Library  Project 

A  notable  feature  of  the  Library  School  program  is  the  Laboratory 
Library,  operated  in  cooperation  with  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Urbana  Free  Library.  Using  the  facilities  of  that  library  and  collaborat- 
ing with  a  member  of  the  faculty,  students  are  conducting  a  long-range 
project  of  research  and  experimentation  especially  related  to  public 
library  problems. 

Extramural  Study 

Through  the  Extension  Division  of  the  University  the  Library  School 
schedules  a  few  courses  in  cities  throughout  Illinois.  These  are  limited 
essentially  to  the  undergraduate  level  and  are  for  school  librarians, 
teacher-librarians,  and  others  wishing  to  meet  the  requirements  for  enter- 
ing the  graduate  program  and  becoming  candidates  for  the  master's 
degree. 

Extension  Program 

The  Library  School  has  for  several  years  carried  out  in  conjunction  with 
the  University's  Extension  Division  a  continuing  program  of  training 
opportunities  for  librarians-in-service.  This  training,  in  the  form  of 
institutes,  workshops,  and  short  courses,  is  offered  at  various  times  and  as 
occasion  demands.  These  activities  usually  are  held  at  Allerton  House, 
the  attractive  educational  facility  operated  by  the  University  near  Monti- 
cello,  Illinois,  some  thirty  miles  from  the  Urbana-Champaign  campus. 
Recent  institutes  have  covered  school  library  supervision,  personnel  ad- 
ministration, library  collections,  and  reference  services. 

Windsor  Lectures 

The  Phineas  L.  Windsor  Lectures  in  Librarianship  were  established  by 
the  alumni  of  the  School  from  money  contributed  by  more  than  two 
thousand  graduates.  They  consist  of  three  lectures,  delivered  each  year, 
and  are  named  in  honor  of  Phineas  L.  Windsor,  Director  Emeritus  of  the 
Library  School,  whose  retirement  in  1940  terminated  service  of  thirty-one 
years  to  the  School  and  to  education  for  librarianship.

Beta  Phi  Mu 

Alpha  chapter  of  Beta  Phi  Mu,  international  honorary  fraternity  in 
library  science,  is  located  at  the  University  of  Illinois.  Almost  500 
graduates  of  the  Library  School  have  won  the  key  of  this  society  for 
scholastic  excellence  and  professional  promise.  Students  maintaining  a 
grade  average  of  4.5  or  better  are  eligible  for  election. 

Recreation  and  Student  Welfare 

The  Illini  Union,  operated  by  the  University,  provides  a  social,  cultural, 
and  recreational  center  for  students  in  Urbana-Champaign.  The  Uni- 
versity also  maintains  many  other  organizations  whose  primary  function 
is  the  improvement  of  the  welfare  of  individual  students.  University 
departments  and  student  organizations  sponsor  lectures,  concerts,  and 
other  cultural  events. 

Alumni  Association 

The  University  of  Illinois  Library  School  Association  was  organized  in 
1898  to  advance  the  interests  of  the  Library  School  and  to  promote 
social  relations  among  its  members.  Reunions  and  meetings  are  held 
each  year,  usually  at  conferences  of  the  American  Library  Association 
and  state  library  associations.  The  Association  has  endowed  the  Kathar- 


15 


ine  L.  Sharp  Fellowship  and  the  Phineas  L.  Windsor  Lectures  in 
Librarianship,  and  it  has  also  raised  money  for  other  purposes.  Twice 
annually  it  publishes  a  newsletter. 

Placement  Service 

The  Library  School  maintains  an  active  placement  service  for  its  alumni, 
keeping  in  close  touch  with  libraries  of  different  types,  and  makes  every 
effort  to  help  graduates  find  the  positions  best  suited  to  their  abilities 
throughout  their  careers.  The  School  can  not,  however,  guarantee 
positions. 

FEES  AND   EXPENSES 

Following  is  a  summary  of  the  general  University  fees  payable  each

library  assistants  is  $2,200,  plus  exemption  from  tuition,  for  an  eleven- 
month  working  year.  These  appointments  are  for  one  year  and  may  be 
renewed  once. 

Loan  Funds 

Numerous  loan  funds  are  administered  by  the  University  for  students 
who  are  in  need  of  financial  aid.  Emergency  loans  to  students  in  the 
Library  School  also  are  made  by  the  Library  School  Association. 

Employment 

Opportunities  for  hourly  work  as  desk  attendants,  pages,  and  clerks  in 
the  University  Library  are  available  for  students  who  must  earn  part  of 


17 


their  expenses.  Where  such  occupation  exceeds  ten  hours  a  week,  pro- 
grams of  study  are  reduced  proportionately.

Undergraduate  Programs 


For  undergraduate  students  at  the  University  of  Illinois,  a  series  of 
courses  at  the  undergraduate  level  is  offered  by  the  Library  School 
through  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  and  Sciences  and  the  College  of 
Education.  These  courses  may  be  taken  as  a  minor  or  as  electives  in 
either  of  the  colleges.  They  fulfill  the  prerequisites  for  graduate  profes- 
sional study  and  they  give  prospective  school  librarians  the  elementary 
preparation  necessary  to  meet  certification  requirements  for  school 
library  work. 

LIBRARY  SCIENCE  AS  A   MINOR 

IN   THE   COLLEGE   OF   LIBERAL  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES 

The  purpose  of  this  minor  is  to  give  the  student  (a)  a  broad  liberal 
education,  (b)  a  strong  subject  specialization,  and  (c)  instruction  in  the 
basic  practices  of  librarianship.  In  view  of  the  wide  range  of  offerings 
open  to  students  in  the  general  curriculum  in  liberal  arts  and  sciences, 
it  is  not  feasible  to  specify  any  fixed  sequences  of  courses  to  be  taken. 
Under  the  guidance  of  advisers,  each  student  is  expected  to  plan  his 
own  program  within  the  general  requirements  of  the  College  of  Liberal 
Arts  and  Sciences.  In  all  cases  there  should  be  a  strong  major  in  some 
academic  field  during  the  last  two  years  of  undergraduate  work.

LIBRARY  SCIENCE  AS  A  MINOR 
IN   THE   COLLEGE   OF   EDUCATION 

The  Library  School  offers  courses  for  advanced  undergraduates  in  the 
College  of  Education  who  wish  to  qualify  as  librarians  in  small  schools. 
The  Library  School  also  offers  full  professional  training  leading  to  a 
master's  degree  in  library  science  for  students  preparing  for  positions  in 
large  schools,  for  supervisory  positions  in  the  school  library  field,  and 
looking  toward  positions  as  instructional  materials  specialists. 

Students  may  apply  the  following  undergraduate  preparatory 
courses  toward  the  library  science  certification  requirements  for  librar- 
ians in  small  schools.  These  courses  at  the  same  time  comprise  the  nec- 
essary prerequisites  for  admission  to  the  graduate  professional  program 
in  library  science,  in  case  the  student  should  later  decide  to  go  on  for 
that  training.

Program  for  the  Degree  of  Master  of  Science 

ADMISSION   REQUIREMENTS 

Applicants  for  admission  to  the  Library  School  must  first  be  admitted 
to  the  Graduate  College.  Ordinarily  applications  will  not  be  considered 
from  persons  over  thirty-five  years  of  age,  unless  they  have  been  actively 
employed  within  recent  years  in  library  work,  in  teaching,  or  some 
similar  intellectual  pursuit. 

Admission  to  the  program  is  based  upon  the  following  requirements: 

1 .  Graduation  from  an  institution  whose  requirements  for  the  bachelor's 
degree  are  substantially  equivalent  to  those  of  the  University  of  Illinois. 

2.  A  grade-point  average  of  at  least  3.5,  or  half-way  between  B  and  C, 
for  the  last  sixty  hours  completed  to  secure  the  bachelor's  degree,  ex- 
clusive of  required  physical  education  and  military  service. 

3.  A  reading  knowledge  of  at  least  one  modern  foreign  language.  This 
requirement  may  be  met  either  by  completing  at  least  one  academic 
year  of  study  at  the  college  level  or  by  passing  a  proficiency  examination 
administered  by  the  Library  School. 

4.  Preprofessional  study  appropriate  for  advanced  study  in  library  science 
as  described  on  page  9.  The  Associate  Director  is  glad  to  advise  prospec- 
tive students  concerning  their  undergraduate  studies  in  preparation  for 
library  work. 

5.  Completion  of  a  prescribed  program  of  undergraduate  library  science 
courses.  This  requirement  may  be  met  by  one  of  the  following: 

a.  Completion  of  at  least  eighteen  semester  hours  of  library  sci- 
ence with  a  grade  average  of  at  least  3.75  in  an  institution  ap- 
proved by  the  University  of  Illinois  Library  School. 

b.  Completion  of  the  preparatory  sequence  of  four  courses,  Li- 
brary Science  201,  204,  255,  and  258,  in  the  University  of 
Illinois  Library  School  with  a  grade  average  of  at  least  3.75. 
Exemption  from  one  or  more  of  these  courses  may  be  secured 
by  a  satisfactory  score  on  proficiency  examinations  which  are 
offered  on  the  day  preceding  the  opening  of  registration  each 
semester  and  summer  session. 

Note:  There  is  a  special  offering  of  these  four  courses  each  eight- 
week  summer  session,  enabling  beginning  students  to  complete  the 


21 


entire  preparatory  sequence  prior  to  entry  into  the  regular  grad- 
uate   library   science    courses   in    the    jail   semester.    This    makes 
possible  the  most  efficient  and  satisfactory  program,  and  students 
are  urged  to  plan  accordingly. 
6.  Evidence  of  ability  to  pursue  graduate  work  in  library  science. 

REQUIREMENTS   FOR  THE  MASTER'S  DEGREE 

At  least  two  semesters  in  residence,  or  the  equivalent,  are  required  to 
attain  the  master's  degree,  apart  from  the  preparatory  courses.  In  this 
period,  eight  units  of  graduate  study  are  to  be  completed.  The  normal 
program  for  a  full-time  graduate  student  is  four  units  each  semester; 
the  maximum  permissible  is  five.  A  candidate  for  the  master's  degree 
must  complete  all  requirements  for  the  degree  within  five  years  after  his 
first  registration  in  the  Graduate  College. 

Each  student's  program  of  study  is  planned  to  suit  his  particular 
needs  and  purposes.  This  is  done  in  consultation  with  an  adviser  at  the 
time  of  original  registration  and  thereafter.  Note:  Students  who  have 
completed  their  undergraduate  library  science  requirement  in  institutions 
other  than  the  University  of  Illinois  are  required  to  complete  Library 
Science  405,  407,  409,  and  411  or  412. 

Students  are  expected  to  achieve  uniformly  good  records.  Any  stu- 
dent who  receives  two  units  of  grade  below  B  must  complete  two  addi- 
tional units  of  A  or  B  grade  to  qualify  for  an  advanced  degree.  Three 
units  of  a  grade  below  B  disqualify  a  student  as  a  candidate.  A  failing 
grade  of  E  in  any  course  in  the  major  field  precludes  the  conferring  of  a 
degree  in  the  academic  year  in  which  the  failure  is  incurred. 

The  general  field  work  described  on  page  29  is  required  of  students 
lacking  equivalent  library  experience. 

Depending  on  his  previous  training,  a  student  may  do  a  portion  of 
his  study  outside  the  Library  School.  Students  thinking  of  careers  in 
special  libraries  may  find  useful  the  varied  courses  available  through 
cooperation  with  other  departments  of  the  University.    (See  page  34.) 

No  thesis  is  required,  but  to  insure  that  every  candidate  for  a 
master's  degree  will  have  satisfactorily  demonstrated  his  ability  to  as- 
semble, organize,  and  present  information  and  ideas  in  acceptable 
written  form,  each  student  will  be  required  to  prepare  a  formal  term 
paper  in  one  of  his  library  science  courses,  this  paper  to  be  designated  as 
the  master's  project.

ADVANCED   MASTER'S   PROGRAM 

Students  possessing  a  fifth  year  bachelor's  degree  from  an  accredited 
library  school  are  enrolled  in  the  advanced  master's  program.  The 
course  of  study  for  an  advanced  student  is,  with  the  assistance  of  the 
student's  adviser,  individually  planned.  There  are  no  specified  or  re- 
quired library  science  courses  and  as  many  as  four  of  the  eight  required 
units  may  be  earned  in  courses  offered  in  other  departments  of  the 
University.  A  thesis  is  optional,  and  may,  under  certain  circumstances 
and  with  specific  approval  of  the  Graduate  College,  be  written  in  absentia.

Program  for  the  Degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy 

ADMISSION   REQUIREMENTS 

A  student  desiring  to  pursue  a  program  of  study  and  research  leading 
to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  must  meet  the  customary  admis- 
sion requirements  of  the  Graduate  College.  In  addition,  he  must  meet 
the  following  requirements  of  the  Library  School: 

1 .  A  master's  degree  in  library  science  from  an  accredited  library  school 
or  a  bachelor's  degree  in  library  science  from  an  accredited  library 
school  plus  a  master's  degree  in  a  subject  field. 

2.  A  substantial  period  of  acceptable  professional  library  experience. 

3.  Evidence  of  capacity  for  research  and  productive  scholarship. 

REQUIREMENTS   FOR  THE   DOCTOR'S  DEGREE 

Period  of  Study 

The  normal  minimum  period  of  study  required  for  securing  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  is  two  years  beyond  the  master's  degree,  during 
which  the  student  is  required  to  devote  all  his  working  time  to  studies. 
All  three  years  must  be  spent  in  resident  graduate  study  at  some  ac- 
credited educational  institution  and  either  the  first  two  or  the  last  two 
must  be  spent  at  the  University  of  Illinois.  In  exceptional  cases,  a  stu- 
dent with  two  years  of  graduate  study  elsewhere  who  satisfies  his  major 
department  that  he  has  completed  work  equivalent  to  the  standard  de- 
partmental requirements  is  permitted  to  take  his  preliminary  examina- 
tion, provided  he  has  fulfilled  the  language  requirements.  If  such  a 
student  passes  the  preliminary  examination,  he  may  complete  the 
requirements  for  the  Doctor  of  Philosophy  degree  by  devoting  the  third 
year  to  research  in  residence.  The  degree  is  conferred,  however,  not  for 
residence  during  a  certain  period  but  for  scholarly  attainments  and 
power  of  investigation  as  proved  by  a  thesis  and  examinations. 

Work  Done  in  Other  Universities 

Credit  for  graduate  work  done  in  other  universities  is  not  "transferred." 
However,  it  may  be  accepted  on  examination  as  equivalent  to  resident 


24 


work  at  the  University  of  Illinois,  provided  the  institution  at  which  it 
was  done  is  of  high  standing. 

Method  of  Computing  Residence 

Credit  for  a  full  year  of  graduate  work  means  that  the  student  has  dur- 
ing that  time  devoted  all  his  working  time  and  energy  to  study  on  a 
graduate  level.  Graduate  credit  is  measured  in  units,  with  one  unit 
considered  the  equivalent  of  four  semester  hours.  The  normal  program 
for  a  full-time  graduate  student  is  four  units  each  semester;  the  maxi- 
mum permissible  is  five.  The  credit  which  may  be  earned  in  individual 
courses  is  indicated  in  the  course  listing,  and  is  in  some  instances  vari- 
able. It  should  be  clearly  understood,  however,  that  a  mere  accumula- 
tion of  units  of  credit  will  not  in  itself  entitle  a  second-year  student  to 
the  privilege  of  taking  the  preliminary  examinations  or  a  third-year 
student  to  admission  to  the  final  examinations. 

Time  Limit  for  Doctorate 

From  the  time  of  entrance  upon  graduate  study  at  the  University  of 
Illinois,  the  work  for  a  doctorate  must  be  completed  as  follows:  (1)  a 
candidate  for  the  doctor's  degree  must  complete  all  requirements  for 
this  degree  within  seven  years  after  his  first  registration  in  the  Graduate 
College,  provided  no  intermediate  master's  degree  is  involved;  (2)  a 
candidate  for  the  doctor's  degree  who  has  been  awarded  a  master's 
degree  either  at  the  University  of  Illinois  or  elsewhere  must  complete 
all  requirements  for  the  doctorate  within  five  years  after  this  first  regis- 
tration in  the  Graduate  College  following  receipt  of  his  master's  degree. 
The  extension  of  the  seven-year  period  stipulated  above  to  a  total  of 
ten  years  shall  be  applicable  only  on  condition  that  not  more  than  one 
year  of  credit  earned  in  connection  with  the  master's  program  be 
counted  toward  the  doctoral  requirements. 

Major  and  Minor  Subjects 

A  student  in  the  Graduate  College  who  desires  to  become  a  candidate 
for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  is  required  to  pursue  a  major 
subject  in  the  department  in  which  his  research  lies.  He  is  also  required 
to  choose  one  minor  subject,  or  he  may  choose  two. 

If  only  one  minor  is  chosen,  it  must  be  taken  in  a  department  of 
study  other  than  that  of  the  major,  and  credit  for  it  must  be  earned  by 


25 


work  representing  not  less  than  four  units,  or  one-sixth  of  the  total 
credit  required  for  the  doctorate. 

If  two  minors  are  chosen,  at  least  two  units  must  be  taken  in  each. 
One  may  be  a  subject  closely  related  to  the  major;  with  the  approval 
of  the  adviser  and  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  College,  it  may  be  a  divi- 
sion of  the  major  field  of  study.  The  second  minor  must  be  taken  in  a 
department  of  study  other  than  that  of  the  major. 

Language  Requirements 

A  doctoral  candidate  is  required  to  demonstrate  his  ability  to  read  two 
of  the  following  languages:  French,  German,  or  Russian.  He  should 
take  his  language  examinations  as  early  as  possible  and  must  pass  both 
not  later  than  two  months  prior  to  the  preliminary  examination,  or  dur- 
ing the  semester  or  summer  session  preceding  that  in  which  he  is  ad- 
mitted to  the  preliminary  examination.  The  dates  of  the  language 
examinations  and  the  latest  dates  when  application  for  admission  to 
these  examinations  may  be  made  are  shown  in  the  calendar  each  year. 
The  examinations  must  be  taken  at  the  University  of  Illinois.  Alter- 
natively, a  student  will  be  certified  in  either  language  if  he  obtains  a  grade 
of  B  or  better  in  French  or  German  401.  Certification  of  proficiency  in 
foreign  languages  will  not  be  accepted  from  other  colleges  or  universities. 

Preliminary  Examinations 

Toward  the  end  of  his  second  year  of  study,  or,  by  special  permission, 
at  the  beginning  of  his  third  year,  a  student  who  wishes  to  become  a 
candidate  for  the  degree  must  submit  to  a  preliminary  examination 
conducted  by  his  doctoral  committee,  which  is  appointed  by  the  Dean 
of  the  Graduate  College.  This  examination  is  intended  to  test  his 
knowledge  of  the  fields  of  his  major  and  minor  subjects  of  study  and 
to  determine  whether  he  is  prepared  for  the  final  year  of  work  for  the 
doctorate.  It  is  partly  oral,  and  may  be  wholly  so. 

The  student  is  not  admitted  to  his  preliminary  examination  until 
he  has  finished  substantially,  and  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  faculty,  the 
equivalent  of  two  years'  graduate  work.  He  must  do  a  full  year's  grad- 
uate work  between  his  preliminary  examination  and  the  completion  of 
his  work  for  the  doctorate. 

A  graduate  student  who  has  passed  the  preliminary  examination 
must  continue  to  register  every  semester  until  he  has  completed  the 
thesis  and  taken  the  final  examination.  After  he  has  fulfilled  the  resi- 


26 


dence  requirement  of  eight  units  to  be  earned  between  the  preliminary 
and  final  examination,  this  registration  need  not  exceed  a  minimum  of 
one-fourth  unit.  However,  failure  to  comply  disqualifies  him  as  a  candi- 
date for  the  degree.  If  the  thesis  is  not  completed  within  five  years  after 
the  preliminary  examination,  the  candidate  must  pass  a  second  pre- 
liminary examination  before  he  can  be  admitted  to  the  final  examination. 

Fin  a  I  Ex  a  m  in  a  tions 

At  least  two  weeks  before  the  time  the  degree  is  conferred,  the  candidate 
must  submit  to  a  final  examination  given  by  his  doctoral  committee. 
This  examination  is  primarily  on  the  research  work  of  the  student  as 
embodied  in  his  thesis,  but  it  is  not  confined  to  that.  It  extends  to  the 
whole  field  of  study  of  the  candidate.  It  is  not  confined  to  the  courses 
which  the  candidate  has  attended  in  the  University  of  Illinois  only,  if 
he  has  done  part  of  the  work  elsewhere,  nor  even  to  the  field  covered 
by  the  courses  specifically  taken  in  this  or  other  universities;  but  is  so 
conducted  as  to  determine  whether  the  candidate  has  a  satisfactory 
grasp  of  his  major  subject  as  a  whole,  and  a  general  acquaintance  with 
the  fields  of  knowledge  represented  by  his  course  of  study. 

The  final  examination  may  not  be  divided,  but  must  be  taken  all 
at  one  time  even  though  it  requires  several  sessions. 

If,  after  having  passed  his  preliminary  examination,  he  fails  in  the 
third  year  of  his  study  to  meet  the  expectations  of  the  professors  in 
charge  of  his  work,  or  in  any  way  fails  to  maintain  the  standard  of 
scholarship  and  power  of  research  expected  of  him,  he  may  be  refused 
admission  to  the  final  examination. 

Other  Examinations 

Before  a  candidate  is  admitted  to  the  final  examination  and  the  defense 
of  his  thesis,  he  may  be  required  to  take  any  other  examination,  oral 
or  written,  that  is  thought  proper  by  the  various  departments  in  which 
he  has  studied.  Such  examinations  are  in  addition  to  those  regularly 
scheduled  in  the  courses  for  which  the  student  is  registered. 

Thesis 

A  candidate's  power  of  independent  research  must  be  shown  by  pro- 
duction of  a  thesis  on  some  topic  connected  with  his  major  subject  of 
study.   He  is  expected  to  defend  his   thesis  or  dissertation  before   the 


27 


members  of  the  faculty,  or  as  many  of  them  as  may  wish  to  question 
him  about  it,  in  connection  with  his  final  examination. 

The  subject  of  the  thesis  should  be  chosen  not  later  than  the  end 
of  the  second  year  of  residence  and  must  be  submitted  for  formal  ap- 
proval by  the  faculty  not  later  than  four  weeks  before  the  preliminary 
examination. 

Two  typewritten  copies  of  the  complete  thesis,  the  original  on 
thesis  paper  (no  other  will  be  accepted  by  the  Graduate  College)  and 
the  first  carbon  on  plain  paper  of  approximately  the  same  weight,  and 
in  final  form  must  be  submitted  to  the  Graduate  College  for  approval 
of  the  format  not  later  than  two  weeks  before  the  final  examination 
and  not  less  than  four  weeks  before  the  degree  is  conferred.  The  type- 
written and  printed  forms  of  the  thesis  must  comply  with  the  regula- 
tions given  in  "Instructions  for  the  Preparation  of  Theses,"  copies  of 
which  may  be  obtained  at  the  office  of  the  Dean  of  the  Graduate  College. 

Formal  publication  of  the  thesis,  either  in  its  entirety  or  in  a  con- 
densed form,  is  not  required.  However,  students  should  consider  the 
advantages  to  their  fields  and  to  themselves  of  publication,  in  the  tech- 
nical literature,  of  the  significant  methods  and  findings  of  their  research. 
If  published,  the  article  or  book  should  have  a  note  indicating  that  the 
material  is,  or  is  based  upon,  a  dissertation  submitted  in  partial  fulfill- 
ment of  the  requirements  for  the  Ph.D.  (or  other)  degree  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois. 

microfilming.  In  order  to  insure  that  theses  are  available  for  use  by 
others,  it  is  required  that  they  be  microfilmed.  Each  candidate  who 
passes  the  final  examination  pays  a  fee  of  $25  and  deposits  an  abstract 
of  his  thesis  of  approximately  600  words,  together  with  the  original  and 
first  carbon  of  the  complete  thesis.  This  fee  provides  for  ( 1 )  micro- 
filming of  the  complete  dissertation,  with  one  copy  deposited  in  the 
University  of  Illinois  Library,  and  (2)  publication  of  an  abstract  of 
600  words  or  less  in  Dissertation  Abstracts. 

abstracts.  The  abstracts  of  the  theses  prepared  for  Disscrtatioyi  Abstracts 
should  not  exceed  600  words,  i.e.,  two  pages  of  pica  or  one  and  one- 
half  pages  of  elite  type.  If,  because  of  the  nature  of  the  material,  the 
abstract  must  exceed  600  words,  such  abstracts  can  be  accepted  at  an 
additional  charge  of  $1.00  per  100  words,  which  is  approximately  one- 
quarter  page  of  elite  type  or  one-third  page  of  pica  type.  An  estimate 
of  additional  cost  is  made  by  the  Graduate  College  when  the  abstract  is 
submitted.  The  estimate  is  not  by  word  count  but  by  printers  measure 
of  pages  or  fractions  thereof,  and  includes  the  space  occupied  by  tables 
or  formulas.
