Library Science Department FANNIE SCHMITT, DEPARTMENT Chairman, Associate Professor of Li- brary Science, B.S., M.A., University of Alabama; M.A. (L.3.), George Peabody College. The Department of Library Science at Florence State University was estab- lished in 1953. It offers a minor of eighteen semester hours which meets re- quirements for certification in school library service by the Alabama State Department of Education. In addition to the basic eighteen hour program, nine hours of elective courses are offered, making a total of twenty-seven hours. The program is based directly upon the recommendations of the American Library Association for undergraduate professional library educa- tion. Students completing this eighteen-hour program are prepared to serve as school librarians and to fill certain professional positions in other types of libraries as candidates for the master ' s degree in library science in one year. Continued increase in demand for librarians for all types of libraries has resulted in steady increase in enrollment in this department. 22
