The latest volume of Advances in Library Administration and
Organization, contains approaches from researchers around the
world. Sourced in management theory and hands-on practice, the
chapters explore such issues as skills-building and other
professional development activities, changing demographic profiles
of staff, changing modes of resource provision, succession
planning, remote work, and planning for Linked Data. New approaches
to student staffing are examined, along with the relationship of
library work to topics such as emotional intelligence and positive
organizational behavior. Several chapters put forth research and
case study information regarding methods for dealing with
large-scale changes in library staffing with regard to budget,
space, and mode of information delivery. The work as a whole
addresses sustainability issues in library staffing both regarding
the day-to day work of libraries and in planning for the future.
Library Staffing for the Future provides the reader with a thorough
look at relevant staffing issues for libraries today and going
forward, and provides advice and information grounded in the
theoretical as well as the practical.
Academic Librarianship: Anchoring the Profession in Contribution,
Scholarship, and Service is needed now as a response to how much
has changed in academic librarianship as a profession (from the
smallest academic libraries to large research libraries). Much has
been written recently about the status of the profession of
librarianship, i.e. whether or not it should still be considered a
"profession," are the same credentials still required/enough,
should things change dramatically in SLIS programs in response to
the new normal, and what is the impact of hiring PhD's in
disciplines outside of librarianship. Major topics covered include:
-State of the profession of librarianship today -Status of
librarians -Tenure or not -Move away from faculty status in some
(more) academic libraries -Contributions to the profession --
scholarship -What is produced -How are librarians conducting
research -Where is it taking place -- who is producing scholarship
-Why -Trends -Contribution to the profession -- service and
professional associations -LIS Education -Tomorrow -- what are the
implications for the future of our profession Author Marcy Simons
explores the history, current status, and future of the profession
of academic librarianship. She clearly demonstrates the need for a
shared understanding of how we will work together in order to
continue our transformation.
Academic Library Metamorphosis and Regeneration continues the
discussions around change and transformation that are taking place
in the library profession today. Academic libraries are undergoing
change at a remarkable rate and have been through transitions that
were unthinkable before disruptive technology changed everything.
For academic libraries, changes in higher education, scholarly
communication, and user expectations are driving a continuous need
to adjust, transform, and re-create ourselves. This book explores
the changes that led us to where we are today, reviews academic
libraries that have transformed, and offers suggestions for those
who are beginning a change process.
