LIBRARY library science microfilm . . . document ' s . . . records . . . books DR. LOUIS SHORES Dean, Library Science Librarianship has suddenly become a profession of destiny. Librarians are now one of the main components of the psychological army abroad and at home. FSU graduates are serving all over the world in the libraries and in- formation centers of the U. S. Department of State and of the Armed Forces. Librarians are now full partners in industry research and in the scientific laboratories of the United States. The decision of Congress to appropriate seven million dollars annually for the next five years to assist in the extension of free public library service to rural areas creates a tremendous demand for public librarians. The introduction of bibliographers on the staffs of college and university libraries stimulates a new demand for Ph. D. librarians doubly trained in librarianship and in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities. Finally, schools all over the country have moved to establish material centers in the elementary schools and high schools. For that reason librarian- ship has now become the number one shortage in the index of teacher demand in the United States. FSU has the only nationally accredited professional Library School within a radius of 500 miles of the center of Florida. Its program leads to the basic master ' s degree which can be completed in one calendar year. Librarianship is fundamentally concerned with the dissemination of good ideas and the study of all the media of communcation.
