Description
With increasing automation of selection, increased use of client self-service, fewer reference inquiries, lower circulation, and the centralization of policy and procedures - what is the role of the library professional today? Some are characterizing these developments as the deskilling of library work, while others are talking about the reskilling of the library profession. In this interactive session, new roles will be explored against the context of what makes a professional. The session will also examine changes in library client behaviour and needs that are the drivers behind these new roles.
