Mter a refreshingly honest introduction by Verner Clapp, the standard laudatory introduction by the edi- tor, and a bibliography by Gretchen Isard of Shera's 381 articles, books, columns, edi- torials, reports, and reviews, there are some 24 papers covering the Pertinence of His- tory, Basic Issues, Information Retrieval, Catalog Topics, Contexts, Forecast, and Li- brary Education by the usual clutch of dis- tinguished scholars and librarians including Sidney Ditzion, Paul Dunkin, Robert Fair- thorne, Douglas Foskett, Eugene Garfield, Neal Harlow, Patricia Knapp, John Met- calfe, Ranganathan, Maurice Tauber, and Robert Taylor. cache/crl-12592.pdf txt/crl-12592.txt
