| Abstract / Summary: |
Research during the 1950s in library and information science refl ected the
intense intellectual foment and fervor of the time. As a master’s student of
library science at Western Reserve University (WRU) in 1952, Phyllis Allen
Richmond found herself at the epicenter of some of the most exciting work
being pursued in the fi eld. Her academic career crosscuts diverse areas.
She was a champion of library automation, of facet analytical theory, and
of the history of science. She always kept the future of classifi cation fi rmly
at the center of her work. This retrospective of the pioneering accomplishments
and contributions of a distinguished forty-year career will draw upon
recollections, materials at the Case Western Reserve University Archive, and
Richmond’s own writings. |
