This page has links, some news, and advice for students in the LIS Program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
If we are to triumph in the world struggle, it will be because of our ideas, not our arms, are the strongest; and books are the best package [humanity] has ever found to hold [its] ideas.
The ideals of librarianship are noble... Let us not teach librarianship as science and technique or load the curriculum with drill and drudgery. Rather it should be taught as a humane calling of service to people... The why of librarianship is more important than the how.
--- Lawrence Clark Powell, A Passion for Books (Cleveland: World, 1958), 180-1.
