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.

Marcy Simons is the organizational development librarian at the University of Notre Dame, where she works closely with the office of the provost to ensure a shared understanding of the library faculty role, its expectations, and equity, diversity, and inclusion in the recruitment, onboarding, and retention practices. Simon’s previous book, Academic Library Metamorphosis and Regeneration, was also published in the Beta Phi Mu Scholar Series.
