A library\u2019s collection was built on authority in literature. In 1607 when materials began arriving in the New World, this authority was found in works such as the Bible, hymnals, and prayer books, or works that informed the practicing professionals. Originally, the first \u201clibrarians\u201d were set to guard collections and make sure library rules were followed and because independent reading was not encouraged, there was no pressure to build collections. These libraries would have only been open a few hours a day and a few days a week and borrowing privileges were heavily restricted. All of this made for a very strict environment and, I think it\u2019s safe to say, is the origin of the no-funny-business, shushing librarian (Weigand, p. 100).\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_830\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-830\" src=\"https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books-300x212.jpeg\" alt=\"Chained books\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" \/> Books used to be so heavily guarded you could not even leave the library with them.[\/caption]\r\n<h2>Universal Literacy:<\/h2>\r\n<span class=\"tight\" style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span class=\"loose\">With the rush of industrialization, immigration, and urbanization (seen as a problem) came the proposition of universal literacy to preserve the social order. This started a \u201cpublic library movement that convinced local communities to tax themselves for the purpose of providing good reading to local citizens free of charge\u201d (Wiegand, p.101-102).<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nNaturally, libraries began to grow into institutions in need of expertise. Library science emerged in the late nineteenth century, staffing libraries with the \u201cright\u201d people. These were mostly women who were \u201callowed\u201d into the profession because those with authority had already collected the \u201cgood reading\u201d (Weigand, p.103).\r\n\r\nIn 1890, children\u2019s reading rooms started up. This turning point in information access would have created new work for librarians, though, allegedly, the first children\u2019s reading room in the Brookline Public Library in Massachusetts was supervised by the library\u2019s janitor. This increase in value of\u00a0children\u2019s intellectual well-being means librarians (or those authorities above them) need to begin adding children\u2019s material to their collections.\r\n\r\nAs libraries enter the 1900s, they are introduced to technology including computerized cataloguing, digitized content, and completely digital newsstands. Getting into the 2000s, libraries begin to offer specialized interests and activities for borrowing, such as board games, certain athletic gear, and so on. And finally, today libraries provide maker spaces for activities such as 3D printing, sewing, and video game editing software.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-831 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/385075290_700770488749340_1029200217662970670_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-833 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/385777317_700770345416021_5561100680552831152_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"maker space\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_832\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-832\" src=\"https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/384997370_700770372082685_4350144899146553621_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"maker space sound booth\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/> Maker Spaces include technology for various creative projects.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<div style=\"font-weight: 400\">\r\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--examples\"><header class=\"textbox__header\">\r\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">Important changes in the library:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/header>\r\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"6\" data-aria-level=\"1\">1890: First children\u2019s reading room<\/li>\r\n \t<li data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"7\" data-aria-level=\"1\">1932: Technology introduced<\/li>\r\n \t<li data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"8\" data-aria-level=\"1\">1970: Computer cataloguing<\/li>\r\n \t<li data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"9\" data-aria-level=\"1\">1990s: Open concept for community spaces - more welcoming spaces meaning more people who just come for a place to sit, as a place where they can find help.<\/li>\r\n \t<li data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"10\" data-aria-level=\"1\">2000s: More and more technology introduced; makerspaces \u2013 librarians need knowledge on more and more topics.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"font-weight: 400\">\r\n<h1>How those changes in the library have changed librarianship:<\/h1>\r\n<\/div>\r\nAll of these additions throughout the years require librarians to stay on top of society\u2019s change in interests for all of their patrons.

A library\u2019s collection was built on authority in literature. In 1607 when materials began arriving in the New World, this authority was found in works such as the Bible, hymnals, and prayer books, or works that informed the practicing professionals. Originally, the first \u201clibrarians\u201d were set to guard collections and make sure library rules were followed and because independent reading was not encouraged, there was no pressure to build collections. These libraries would have only been open a few hours a day and a few days a week and borrowing privileges were heavily restricted. All of this made for a very strict environment and, I think it\u2019s safe to say, is the origin of the no-funny-business, shushing librarian (Weigand, p. 100).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_830\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-830\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-830\" src=\"https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books-300x212.jpeg\" alt=\"Chained books\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books-300x212.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books-1024x723.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books-768x542.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books-65x46.jpeg 65w, https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books-225x159.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books-350x247.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/pb-sandbox.library.illinois.edu\/is510\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/262\/2023\/09\/chained-books.jpeg 1162w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-830\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Books used to be so heavily guarded you could not even leave the library with them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Universal Literacy:<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"tight\" style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span class=\"loose\">With the rush of industrialization, immigration, and urbanization (seen as a problem) came the proposition of universal literacy to preserve the social order. This started a \u201cpublic library movement that convinced local communities to tax themselves for the purpose of providing good reading to local citizens free of charge\u201d (Wiegand, p.101-102).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, libraries began to grow into institutions in need of expertise. Library science emerged in the late nineteenth century, staffing libraries with the \u201cright\u201d people. These were mostly women who were \u201callowed\u201d into the profession because those with authority had already collected the \u201cgood reading\u201d (Weigand, p.103).<\/p>\n<p>In 1890, children\u2019s reading rooms started up. This turning point in information access would have created new work for librarians, though, allegedly, the first children\u2019s reading room in the Brookline Public Library in Massachusetts was supervised by the library\u2019s janitor. This increase in value of\u00a0children\u2019s intellectual well-being means librarians (or those authorities above them) need to begin adding children\u2019s material to their collections.<\/p>\n<p>As libraries enter the 1900s, they are introduced to technology including computerized cataloguing, digitized content, and completely digital newsstands. Getting into the 2000s, libraries begin to offer specialized interests and activities for borrowing, such as board games, certain athletic gear, and so on. And finally, today libraries provide maker spaces for activities such as 3D printing, sewing, and video game editing software.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium
