Librarianship is both an art and a science. Librarians study the
science of information and how to work with clients to help them
find solutions to their information needs. They also learn quickly
that there is an art to working with people, to finding the answers
to tough questions using the resources available and knowing which
information resources to use to find the information being sought
in short order. But, what technical skills do librarians need to be
successful in the future? How can library managers best develop
their staffs for success? Developing Librarian Competencies for the
Digital Age explores questions such as: 1.What is the composition
of a modern library collection? 2.Will that collection look
different in the future? 3.What are the information sources and how
do we manage those? 4.What are the technical skills needed for a
21st century librarian? 5.How will reference services change and
adapt to embrace new ways to interact with library patrons or
clients? 6.What kinds of library skills are needed for the
librarian of today to grow and thrive, now and into the future?
7.How will service models change to existing clients and how will
the model change going into the future of librarianship? 8.What
kinds of budgeting challenges are there for libraries and the
administrators who oversee these libraries? 9.What do the library
professional organizations see as the core skills needed for new
graduates and those practicing in the profession going into the
future? In answering those questions, the book identifies specific
digital skills needed for success, ways of developing those skills,
and ways of assessing them.
