  Robert S. Taylor Biography
Taylor described this momentous conversation after accepting the 1992 American Society for Information Science’s highest award, the Award of Merit, by saying that “I had been at various times a newspaper reporter, sports editor, intelligence agent, freelance writer (unsuccessful) and now a librarian.
Taylor’s intent was to create a library that was a fluid and dynamic environment and that played a critical role in both the teaching and learning processes (Taylor, 1971, p.358-359).
In a 1986 book, Taylor examined the concept of the information use environment and the value-added/user driven model as a means for describing the benefits and costs of the information use environment within the human context.

 John Taylor and Locke’s Classical System
Taylor is thus one of those people about whose textbookish activities we happen to know just a little, because his high-cultural connections have led students of literature to investigate everything he did.
Taylor was no radical or materialist, but he shared Locke’s resentment of what they both saw as the intrusion of formal grammar into the inductive learning of language.
Taylor’s case is of some interest because of its relation to the contemporary emergence of the modern textbook; his own rather bizarre range of pursuits; and because he exemplifies the tendency to focus on high culture and to relegate the production of textbooks to the sidelines.

 The Conservatory as a Greedy Total Institution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
Erving Goffman’s study of a mental hospital produced his concept of the total institution that “may be defined as a place of residence and work where a large number of like-situated individuals, cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period of time, together lead an enclosed, formally administered round of life” (1961, p.
Taylor pointed out that “they sort of make you think that that school is the begin all, end all first of all.
Taylor’s situation supports the idea that the conditions of the Conservatory’s training as a greedy total institution applied whether the student was in residence or not.

 James Taylor Article
Full, name James Vernon Taylor; born March 12, 1948, in Boston, Mass.; son of Isaac M. (a medical doctor and former dean of the University of North Carolina Medical School) and Gertrude (a singer, maiden name Woodard) Taylor; married Carly Simon (a singer), 1972 (divorced); children: Sarah, Benjamin.
Taylor has been richly represented on the pop charts since 1970, with hits such as "Fire and Rain," "Carolina in My Mind," "You've Got a Friend," and "Handy Man," but his work transcends the banality of most pop music.
At the outset of his career, Taylor was called a "new troubadour," an artist who was leading rock music away from the frenzied pitch it had established.

 Colby Magazine | Winter 2002 | The Pulitzer Guy: Alan Taylor
Taylor's next project, already well under way, is a study of the borderlands of the Northeast--a hot topic among historians who are intrigued by questions of identity and how people do or do not fit into existing social, racial and ideological frameworks.
The paradox of borders, Taylor said, "is that they are intended to separate people, but end up attracting them instead." That is also the case along the Canadian border, which continues to be a magnet for settlement and development on both sides.
Taylor sees similar phenomena along the Maine border, though, and he discusses them in a Maine History article about the tragicomic career of George Ulmer, assigned during the War of 1812 to Eastport, across the border from St. Stephen, which was then in the hands of the British.
