Description

The postmodernist model of librarianship is a threat to libraries. Voices calling for a revolutionary change in librarianship are a sign of disturbing broader trends in modern societies. There is a clear tendency towards relativism and even irrationalism and this is reflected in librarianship. Concepts such as truth and objectivity are being questioned and often rejected. Yet, libraries cannot exist without them. A restoration of Platonism is necessary if libraries are to survive. Manuscript received January 2003
