Описание: Adaptation to change that’s based on thoughtful planning and grounded in the mission of libraries: it’s a model that respected LIS thinker and educator Michael Stephens terms “hyperlinked librarianship.” And the result, for librarians in leadership positions as well as those working on the front lines, is flexible librarianship that’s able to stay closely aligned with the needs and wants of library users. In this collection of essays from his “Office Hours” columns in Library Journal, Stephens explores the issues and emerging trends that are transforming the profession. Among the topics he discusses are:the importance of accessible, welcoming, and responsive library environments that invite open and equitable participation, and which factors are preventing many libraries from ramping up community engagement and user-focused services;challenges, developments, and emerging opportunities in the field, including new ways to reach users and harness curiosityconsiderations for prospective librarians, from knowing what you want out of the profession to learning how to aim for it;why LIS curriculum and teaching styles need to evolve;mentoring and collaboration; andthe concept of the library as classroom, a participatory space to experiment with new professional roles, new technologies, and new ways of interacting with patrons. Bringing together ideas for practice, supporting evidence from recent research, and insights into what lies ahead, this book will inform and inspire librarians of all types.

Описание: Just as it did for society at large, the second half of the 20th century brought monumental upheaval to librarianship, affecting every aspect of what it means to be a part of the information services profession. But as the librarians who worked during this tumultuous period end their careers, the social memory of their extraordinary generation is at risk of being forgotten. Encompassing a full spectrum of institutions and roles, Smith’s important oral history draws from the professional life stories of dozens of librarians to chronicle this transitional period. Captured in stories sure to resonate are the regret and nostalgia for the librarianship practiced at the beginning of their careers, excitement and wonder about how technology has fundamentally changed the profession, and perspectives on the stereotypes associated with librarians. The result is a book as entertaining as it is instructive. Featuring a foreword by Dr. Loriene Roy, it explores such themes as becoming librarians, both consciously and accidentally;memories of library school and training;clichés and stereotypes, both inside and outside the profession;what it was like to experience the beginning of the technology revolution, spanning the card catalog era through the age of online database searching, OPACs, and beyond;wisdom gleaned from a lifetime of changing technology and obsolescence;professional challenges such as sexism and the struggles for promotion, funding, and compensation; and inspiring stories of helping patrons, performing outreach, and serving the community . Providing memories for the contributors’ peers and valuable background and context to those just entering the field, this book also offers a primer of oral history theory and methodology for those studying the form.

Описание: This book is a practical guide to how to get started as a data librarian with little time, no money but great enthusiasm. Theories and Methods in Data Science Librarianship describes and extends the role of the data science librarian through real-world cases and proposes several methods employed by public and academic libraries to develop and further educate the librarian. It is a collection of the best knowledge from published literature and experts in one place, creating an easy to read overview. The perspectives offered in the book are critical, in that they are reflexive about the role of the librarian and consider challenges and multidimensionality of the librarians profile. This multidimensionality requires theories that address data services as research objects (data-management, definition of concepts, researchers as individual agents, accessibility, funding, profile and education). The book covers: how to get started as a data librarian the history and the motivations of the data science librarianship community how data librarians can close the data literacy divide library policy and data science untangling the jungle of copyright and laws surrounding data use and data protection data ethics how library leaders can support and develop data science librarianship managing data science projects and services on no budget inspiring data science projects at the public library library carpentry skills and teaching how to identify user needs and develop relevant data science services. The book will be essential reading for librarians and information specialists working working with data related tasks including, research librarians, embedded librarians, metadata librarians, cataloguers, public librarians mediating the possibilities in data for library users and students of library and information science. It will also be of interest to those working in archives, museums and other cultural heritage institutions.
