School librarians have traditionally selected only those books for purchase that were "needed. 11 The curriculum supposedly dictated what books were purchased.

A Study Of Dr. Donald Maley's Theory -- "Research And Experimentation In Industrial Arts", John Edward Ferree

Graduate Research Papers

The problem of this study is to make a thorough examination of Dr. Donald Maley's theory -- "Research and Experimentation in Industrial Arts in the Junior or Senior High School."

Perhaps now in 1968, more than ever, concern for what is in store for industrial arts is, or should be, considered more "grave" than expressed in the above quote of Dr. Maley in 1959. Certainly now it could generally be agreed that all theories concerning the future path of industrial arts, of which Dr. Maley's Research and Experimentation theory is one, deserve a full measure of study and evaluation by …

The Library And Educational Innovations, Marlene Muller Prigge

Graduate Research Papers

The past decade has seen the school library transformed from a center of print materials to a center for instructional materials of all types and varieties. The service offered by the library has undergone a concomitant change. However, one can still not describe a library or instructional materials center with any certainty that the description will be the same tomorrow. For as with education today--the only lasting characteristic seems to be change.
