摘要: 从女性馆员角度探索图书馆工作职业化发展历程的成果鲜有。美国儿童图书馆服务工作职业化发展与女性密不可分,本文从女性与职业发展的角度论述两者的关系。女性自身的崛起、儿童图书馆事业的兴起与发展是两者结合在一起的前提。团结就是力量,女性馆员群体形成,联合起来克服因性别歧视带来的不平等待遇,并形成群体特色。通过对儿童图书馆服务开展的两个关键性因素——儿童与图书的把握,女性馆员确立了自己的专业地位,通过在“想象文学捍卫战”与“纽伯瑞童书奖捍卫战”中的群体发声,女性馆员维护了自己的专业地位。女性馆员在儿童图书馆服务工作走向职业化的3个方面——专业知识体系的初步形成、行业协会的组建、儿童图书馆学教育的兴起,均发挥了积极作用,是美国儿童图书馆工作职业化的内在推动 力。
