Ken Dowlin was a librarian, public administrator, and professor at San Jose State University. He has published over 70 articles, 15 contributions to books and published papers, and 2 books. He was elected delegate to the first White House Conference on Libraries and Information Services in 1979, and was cited by U. S. Congressman Tom Lantos for outstanding community leadership in 1996, as well as being known for The Mercury Project in 1989, which involved the purchase of new computers, including a supercomputer from the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for an online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). The project aimed to build a new main library building using computers and electronic resources more than books. In 1995, 250,000 library books were weeded, including old, rare and some last copies. Some librarians resisted this idea of the “Library of the Future” that Dowlin had envisioned. This resistance to these changes created the term “guerrilla librarian,” a librarian who saves books from destruction by either hiding them or stamping them to make the books appear that they had been in recent circulation.Item Yakima Valley Regional Libraries Plath Forum - 1983, tape 3B.(UNPUBLISHED, 1983) Dowlin, KennethFinal part of a talk by Kenneth Dowlin, entitled The Electronic Cottage.
