Ideal for practitioners looking to advance their careers and for
use in LIS programs, this "comprehensive overview" (Journal of
Access Services) has been thoroughly revised and updated to provide
a timely exploration of the characteristics of academic
librarianship and its place in the ever-changing environment of
higher education. Evans and new coauthor Greenwell guide readers
towards understanding what is required to have a successful career
in academic librarianship, explaining why academic libraries are
distinct from other types of libraries and lending practical
insight into their unique political and operational
characteristics. The text offers comprehensive coverage of such key
issues as: teaching faculty roles and the status of the academic
librarian; governance and the growing tension on some campuses
between faculty and administration; curriculum, with a discussion
of the balance between general education requirements and applied
courses; the student body; collections, data management,
digitization, and metadata; scholarly communication, plus
alternative models such as open educational resources (OERs);
providing quality service, and the role of user experience (UX) in
assessment; ACRL's Information Literacy Framework; funding,
including how and where to find detailed higher education
expenditure data; classrooms, common learning spaces, and other
facilities; staffing and professional development; technology and
IT support; career development, with advice on preparing a vita and
undergoing a successful interview; and the future of academic
librarianship. This updated edition enables readers to understand
how academic libraries deliver information, offer services, and
provide learning spaces in new ways to better meet the needs of
today's students, faculty, and other communities of academic
library users.
