This work presents a thorough examination of librarianship and the social and economic contexts in which the profession and its institutions operate As a basis of analysis, Buschman employs critical education scholarship and the research of German philosopher Jurgen Habermas, whose seminal work on the public sphere--the arena in which the озыйю public organizes itself and formulates public opinion--serves as a meta-framework for Buschman's study of librarianship.  Сборник нормативныхISBN 031332199X.
