Progressive Librarians Guild
- Progressive Librarians Guild
The Progressive Librarians Guild was founded in New York City in January 1990 by librarians concerned with library profession's rapid drift into dubious alliances with business and the information industry, and into complacent acceptance of service to an unquestioned political, economic and cultural status quo.
The Progressive Librarians Guild publishes the journal [http://libr.org/pl/ "The Progressive Librarian" ] , a forum for critical perspectives in librarianship and information studies. The journal features articles, book reviews, bibliographies, reports, and documents. The Guild also bestows the [http://libr.org/plg/BravermanBio.php Miriam Braverman Award] to Library and Information Science students attending a graduate level program in the United States or Canada who submit a paper based on an aspect of the social responsibilities of librarians, libraries, or librarianship.
