College and Research Libraries 98 College & Research Libraries are less likely to have their graduate work subsequently published. Richardson dis- cusses this phenomena but does not ade- quately explain it; perhaps further re- search would indeed have yielded some significant insights and allowed his analy- ·sis to become something other than a statement of the obvious. In truth, this is not so much the sociol- ogy of research in government informa- tion as it is the sociology of library schools that either have a Ph.D. program or re- quire a paper for the M.L.S. Most real re- search is the output of working librarians who write articles and books, and they are not discussed here at all. The title of the book does not indicate that it will discuss only a very small, specialized realm of re- search regarding government publica- tions: theses and documents. It really ig- nores the education half of the subtitle, failing to talk about introductory docu- ments courses in library schools and their role as initiators of later interest in and re- search on government publications. Ex- cluding practitioners, it deals only with the publications of library school faculty, discussing them mainly in the context of their faculty adviser roles. In Chapter 3, "Influential Faculty Advisors," Richard- son devotes a page to each of several indi- viduals he calls 'I the top advisors in gov- ernment publications. 11 What can one say about a chapter like this that fails to men- tion either Peter Hernon or Charles Mc- Clure but devotes a page to the author himself? Certainly those teaching in library schools will find the analysis of student/ adviser relationships interesting (al- though they will probably not use the January 1988 data, in Richardson's words, to "better understand the sociological context of their own work with students"). No doubt a potential Ph.D. student intending to write a dissertation dealing with gov- ernment publications might wish to con- sult this book before choosing an institu- tion. But otherwise one would be hard-pressed to find a potential audience for this type of study. It is doubtful that li- brary administrators and department heads will use the quantitative data to 11 identify the strong schools and advisors who can provide them well-qualified can- didates for government information posi- tions," as Richardson envisions in his preface. This research is likely to be of in- terest only to those having a very strong interest in the history of theses and disser- tations dealing with government publica- tions. Even those who savor anything writ- ten about documents would be hard pressed not to admit that this is much ado about nothing. But we really should not fault Richard- son too much. Quantitative analyses are de rigueur these days, and there is strong pressure from within the scholarly com- munity to include some form of elabo- rately formatted data in any work. Those working librarians not planning to return to library school and obtain a doctorate can always skip past the first third of the book and make use of the bibliography. Within its narrowly defined scope this compilation of research is exhaustive; it . fills a long-standing need and is an impor- tant contribution to the professional litera- ture of government publications.-Joel Zucker, Jerome Library, Bowling Green State University, Ohio.
