Title

Academic reference librarians : under the microscope

Source

Reference librarian. 1996, no.54, S.21-27

Year

1996

Abstract

Declining levels of financial support for public institutions, particularly colleges and universities, have resulted in reduced staffing in academic libraries. Concurrently, libraries are besieged with greater demands from the academic community for access to and instruction in electronic information resources such as the Internet. Discusses the emerging organizational structures of academic libraries, then identifies and dicusses core competencies for academic reference librarians. These include a flexible attitude and approach towards technology, a high tolerance for rapid change in technology, creativity, curiosity, communication skills, public relations savvy, and the ability to effectively relate to a diverse clientele
