This book 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). Topics covered include: state of the profession of librarianship today, status of librarians, how are librarians conducting research, and more.

About the Author

As the person who maintains the documentation and adherence to our library faculty expectations, practices and hiring guidelines, and ensures a shared understanding with the office of the provost related to our status as library faculty she has an intimate knowledge of the expectations, pros, cons, and new areas of concern/focus related to status and contribution to the profession. Simon's previous book, Academic Library Metamorphosis and Regeneration, was also published in the Beta Phi Mu Scholar Series.

Industry Reviews

I have read the manuscript from Marcy and support wholeheartedly its publication. She covered the history, the issues involved in academic status for librarians and made some good suggestions about reforms that need to be made. She spent some time on the challenges of AI and publishing in the digital age. I think the section on the 'imposter syndrome' and on workplace issues are extremely important. The work is well written and researched and should be of interest especially to the administration of universities and libraries. Librarians and librarianship are still vital in a digital world. This book should be an important contribution to our knowledge and research agendas. -- Mary Munroe, professor emeritus in the University Libraries, Northern Illinois University
