Christ, R W. “What Lies Ahead: how librarians, as individuals, through cooperative
effort and a set of standards, can aid in the solution of the many problems facing
the world.” Special Libraries. Vol.36 (December 1945): 470-474.
This article mainly discusses the abilities of librarians to aid in the improvement of world problems such as education and information availability and access. Christ offers a broad perspective of different ways that librarians can help development in communities and the world as a whole.
The document is very interesting because it shows librarians as capable of affecting great changes in the world. It encourages cooperative undertaking of improvements to information availability and connections with the community. Librarians are assigned vast opportunities and authority and, therefore, are seen as responsible, intelligent and influential members of society and the professional world.
