It is increasingly common in Canada and can result in physical, mental, financial, and social strain for people who experience it. In libraries, it has the potential for negative effects on individual staff members, organizational health, and service quality. However, literature on precarious library work is scarce, and it is unclear how its effects on library staff compare to those described in the broader literature or how it affects the library field as a whole. \u0000The purpose of this study was to gather information about library workers’ perceptions and experiences of precarious employment and to see how it played out in library contexts. Thirteen library workers both with and without experiences of precarious employment participated in qualitative, semi-structured interviews, which were synthesized into a narrative summarizing their thoughts and experiences. Results indicated that while there were some positive effects of precarious work, they mainly benefited library organizations from scheduling and financial standpoints, while negative outcomes were more numerous, more salient, and affected individuals as well as organizations. Awareness of such perceptions and experiences may help to spark conversations and support for those experiencing negative effects from precarious work, and it can serve to reduce or eliminate factors leading to those effects. However, failure to address them may result in negative outcomes for library workers and organizations, such as stress, turnover, marginalization, burnout, leaving the field, reduced service quality, and more. Accordingly, this paper provides some of the first qualitative information on precarious employment in libraries and may be used to support broader discussions about the topic.","PeriodicalId":406213,"journal":{"name":"Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125432901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dans l’intention de soutenir les bibliothécaires-formateurs québécois dans leur offre de formations, ces derniers ont été invités à suivre quatre modules d’autoformation en pédagogie universitaire en ligne, à assister à des vidéoconférences d’échange et à participer à une journée de travail ayant pour objectif d’amorcer l’élaboration d’un scénario pédagogique transférable dans le cadre des pratiques de formations documentaires.

Libraries, archives and museums have long had a history and mandate of outreach and public engagement but crowdsourcing marks a move towards a more participatory and inclusive model of engagement. If a library wants to start a crowdsourcing project, what do they need to know? \u0000 This article is written from a Canadian University library perspective with the goal to help the reader engage with the current crowdsourcing landscape. This article’s contribution includes a literature review and a survey of popular projects and platforms; followed by a case study of a crowdsourcing pilot completed at the McGill Library. The article pulls these two threads of theory and practice together—with a discussion of some of the best practices learned through the literature and real-life experience, giving the reader practical tools to help a library evaluate if crowdsourcing is right for them, and how to get a desired project off the ground.","PeriodicalId":406213,"journal":{"name":"Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127590059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the four decades following the World War I (WWI), librarians sought to develop an intermediary role between different clienteles and the world of print. At the same time, library science evolved as a university-based discipline grounded in the knowledge and techniques of collecting, organizing, and managing printed records for public consumption. Three prominent issues are examined: the question of acceptable library education and training, the primacy of a service ethic, and issues surrounding the profession’s female-intensity during first-wave feminism. Before the 1960s, a two-term bachelor’s degree in library science was the standard requirement to gain entry into the profession. There was an identifiable blend of public-spirited service and print oriented stewardship to librarianship serving diverse clienteles in municipalities, universities and colleges, schools, businesses, and governments. As well, librarianship was a female-intensive career that strove to attain better public recognition. While there were many influences on the development of librarianship, the regional considerations, the everpresent English-French cultural divide, and the American precedents were very important. All these interconnected elements changed after 1960 as the core knowledge of librarians began to transition to library and information science, as they adopted new values, as the importance of print resources lessened, and as second-wave feminism came into being.","PeriodicalId":406213,"journal":{"name":"Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116271296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
