Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject History - America, grade: 100, Arizona State University, course: Latin American History, language: English, abstract: Where this study about the Jesuit orders dynamics among the Inca wants to go is beyond race and the casta system, although these will be unavoidable and important aspects of the research. More prominently featured will be aspects such as trade, labor, production, consumption, daily lives, gender, social interaction, what society was like before contact, what was introduced, what was taken away, and what was the final product. The correlation or contest between micro and macro identity will be observed. Across three centuries, beginning in 1567, the Jesuit order had a substantial political and socio-economic presence in the Andean regions of Latin America. Less than four decades after Saint Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society to spread the faith by the "sword of the word", the first Jesuits entered South America by the request of King Philip II of Spain, altering the chemistry of a continent and two competing empires.

A discussion of the core values that are the backbone of the library profession. Defining the role of both library and librarian, Michael Goreman presents the bedrock principles underlying the profession and, in turn, underlying democracy.

This text aims to show that in place of futuristic dreaming and madness, libraries can embrace advanced technologies while retaining their role as service-oriented repositories of all formats of organized information and knowledge.

Focusing on one of the most fundamental areas of librarianship, Gorman and a host of distinguished contributors examine the current state of the field of technical services and offer their views on its future.

From his earliest reading memories in wartime Britain through five decades of librarianship, eminent librarian and former ALA President Michael Gorman offers insights from his extraordinary career in this new memoir. Gorman relates his personal and professional journey in prose that is by turns charming, opinionated, and revealing. He mad perhaps his most significant contribution to librarianship as editor of the 1978 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, a major development that receives detailed attention here. The debates and arguments that would shape professional practice for years to come are dramatically presented, with a vivid cast of characters including leading librarians from two continents. Broken Pieces, Gorman's account of being on the front lines of many of the most important decisions made in librarianship during his career, is a timely and entertaining read.
