Abstract:

Ross Harvey's article, 'Losing the quality battle in Australian education for librarianship' (2001), may be read as a lament for all things past, a jeremiad in which the prophet cries for a return to the straight and narrow paths of former practices. Readers may focus on the dramatic statements in the first half of the paper without placing them in the context of the proposals that follow. If they do so, they will miss the attention-grabbing function of these statements, which are designed to provoke constructive debate.
