HISTORICAL NOTE
The ETSU Division of Library Service was begun in 1936 as a subject
program rather than an academic department. The purpose of the program was to
train students for school librarianship and to conduct "Library Institutes"
(in-service training program) for school librarians in the summer. It was a
part of the ETSU library from 1936 until 1949. In the 1960s, it became a division
of the College of Education; in 1977 being the Division of Library Service;
and in 1982 the Program of Library Service. The division was headed by Elise
Barrett from 1949-1976 followed by Dorothy S. Baird from 1977-1987.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Library Science and Library Institutes Collection contains a variety of
published material and records documenting the operations of the program for
the period 1941-81 and include American Library Association Standards for accreditation,

for training in librarianship, and information related to teacher certification
