Excerpt:
.
Just as the development of libraries and the information industry are tied
to historical, social, and economic developments in society, so is the
history of teaching people about information. This essay will show how
general social developments, particularly in the United States lead to
corresponding developments in education, library services, the information
industry, and both the bibliographic instruction and the information
literacy instruction movements, especially in academic libraries and
school library media centers.
.
Three Waves of Western History
.
Western history can be divided into three periods, the agricultural,
pre-industrial, and pre-modern period of the first wave; the industrial
and modern period of the second wave, and the current information-based,
post-industrial, post-modern period of the third wave. These periods are
described in more detail by Daniel Bell in The Coming of the
Post-Industrial Society (1) and by Alvin Toffler in The Third Wave. (2)
.
Dating these three periods can be a real challenge. These paradigm shifts
took place, and are still taking place in different countries at different
times. In addition, periods of transition from one type of society to
another can be quite long, even within particular countries. Each period
would have major implications for the organization and work of society,
education, the development of libraries and other information services,
and movements to teach people about information.
.
Pre-industrial societies existed everywhere until roughly 1760. Arnold
Toynebee coined the term Industrial Revolution to describe economic
developments in England in the period 1760-1840. The second wave, modern,
industrial society was very slow in coming. The first factories appeared
in England in the mid-1700s and in New England a generation later.
However, this author believes that the United States did not seriously
industrialize until after the Civil War (1861-1865) and that it did not
emerge as a fully industrialized country until after World War I
(1914-1918).
.
Later, seeds of the information-based, post-industrial and post-modern
society would be planted in western countries in the mid-twentieth
century, and especially after World War II (1941-1945). However, the first
major signs of another paradign shift in the U.S. would not really fully
appear until the early 1980s.
