Robert Wedgeworth offers an insightful look at a career that helped shape modern librarianship.
In this compelling first-hand account, Robert Wedgeworth traces his remarkable journey-from growing up in racially intolerant times to becoming executive director of the American Library Association (ALA) and helping shape the national and international library landscape.
With candid insights, including the untold story of what exactly happened at Columbia University, Wedgeworth offers an insider's view of pivotal moments in the histories of influential organizations such as the ALA and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). His reflections offer fascinating insight and thoughtful perspective on the transformation of library leadership and institutions.
