Liaising in the 21st Century: The Shifting Role of the Education Librarian
Donaldson, Katherine S.; Bonella, Laura; Becksford, Lisa; Kubicki, Josette M.; Parramore, Sarah
Education Libraries, v45 n1 2022
This paper will examine the findings of a survey on the job roles and responsibilities of Education librarians (academic librarians with liaison responsibilities for the field of Education). Existing literature on Education librarianship has focused on particular facets of the job role, including the unique instructional needs of Education students and specific instruction and outreach initiatives. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive picture of the full spectrum of contemporary Education librarianship. This article provides a snapshot of the diverse educational backgrounds and varied responsibilities of Education librarians related to instruction and instructional design, reference, embedded librarianship, outreach, collaboration, and collection development.
