The Evolving Role of the Librarian

Upcoming: Monday, August 2 at 2 p.m., ET

Aug 2, 2021 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Campus libraries have evolved, and so has the role of the college librarian. 

The responsibilities have moved far beyond acquiring and curating a collection of books and academic materials. 

Now, librarians must act as equal parts faculty coach, design expert, tech guru, and student-success advocate. 

As Covid-19 calls the future of the college campus into question, what new skills must library managers develop?

In this virtual forum, a panel of librarians joins The Chronicle to discuss the state of the profession today and 

how it may change on a post-Covid campus.

• What should librarians know about optimizing physical space?
• How can librarians heighten their understanding of digital materials and open-educational resources?
• How are they making the case for their roles and the resources they need, amid tightening budget constraints?
