Abstract

This study compares the perspectives of academic library administrators, library school educators, and academic librarians with respect to academic instructional librarianship. A nine-item questionnaire was administered to 14 educators, 10 library administrators, and 13 instructional librarians. The survey included items related to important qualities/traits of instructional librarians, job preparation, library school training, job duties, assessment, and challenges. Responses indicate a general agreement among the three populations regarding desirable skills/traits, but some disagreement exists between administrators and others regarding assessment. Results also suggest that further consideration is needed about the role and necessity of instructional librarian training in graduate library schools.
质疑教学图书馆工作准备中的缺陷:雇主、教育工作者和教学图书馆人员的观点比较
本研究比较了学术图书馆管理员、图书馆学校教育工作者和学术图书馆员对学术教学图书馆工作的看法。对14名教育工作者、10名图书馆管理员和13名教学图书馆员进行了9项问卷调查。该调查包括与教学图书馆员的重要素质/特征、工作准备、图书馆学校培训、工作职责、评估和挑战有关的项目。答复表明,三个群体在理想技能/特质方面达成了普遍一致,但管理人员和其他人在评估方面存在一些分歧。研究结果还表明,需要进一步考虑研究生图书馆教学馆员培训的作用和必要性。
