A wiki experiment by the students of the UW-Madison SLIS Spring 2006 "History of American Librarianship" class, LIS 569.

 

Please note: As in any chronology or history, the elements we choose to include in this timeline each make an implicit statement about what historical processes, contexts, moments, and actors we value today — who and what we feel are important to remember and represent as the social practices of librarianship continue into the 21st century.
