The role of the library and librarians is discussed by five librarians in papers presented at a double session colloquium held in April 1973 under the sponsorship of the Library and the Graduate Library School of the University of Arizona. Dr. Lawrence Clark Powell reminds librarians that the library is for the user and should be service oriented. He suggests that committee meetings and conferences be held after hours and on vacations so that the public would be able to have more contact with the best qualified people. Dr. H. William Axford also cautions against the overindulgence in committees and comments on Dr. Powell's dislike of scientific management. A panel response to these two papers was provided by Dr. Donald Dickinson, Ms. Ruth Risebrown, and Ms. Shirley Thurston. (JG)
