Elmborg (2006) throws down the gauntlet: ...students must understand that the library’s ‘‘grammars of information’’ are reflections of a particular worldview—Anglo, Western, Christian, and predominantly male. Should librarians be content to teach ‘‘the grammar of information,’’ or should they emphasize its role in creating privileged discourse? Again, it depends on whether we see librarianship as a profession which serves the dominant ideology of the academy, or whether librarians see themselves a critical educators in pursuit of more ‘‘democratic’’ models. Guess whos back in school?
