A librarian is a person who works professionally in a library, providing admission to information, and sometimes social or technical programming, or teaching on information literacy to users.

The function of the librarian has changed much over time, with the past century in particular bringing many new media and technologies into play. From the earliest libraries in the aboriginal world to the modern information hub, there have been keepers and disseminators of the information held in information stores. Roles and responsibilities vary widely depending on the type of library, the specialty of the librarian, and the functions needed to maintain collections and make them available to its users.

Pedagogy for librarianship has changed over fourth dimension to reflect changing roles.

History [edit]

The ancient world [edit]

The Sumerians were the first to railroad train clerks to keep records of accounts.^[1] "Masters of the books" or "keepers of the tablets" were scribes or priests who were trained to handle the vast amount and complexity of these records. The extent of their specific duties is unknown.^[2]

Erstwhile in the 8th century BC, Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria, created a library at his palace in Nineveh in Mesopotamia. Ashurbanipal was the commencement individual in history to introduce librarianship as a profession.^[3] We know of at least one "keeper of the books" who was employed to oversee the thousands of tablets on Sumerian and Babylonian materials, including literary texts; history; omens; astronomical calculations; mathematical tables; grammatical and linguistic tables; dictionaries; and commercial records and laws.^{[4] [five]} All of these tablets were cataloged and arranged in logical order by subject or type, each having an identification tag.^[iii]

The Great Library of Alexandria, created by Ptolemy I subsequently the expiry of Alexander the Cracking in 323 BC, was created to firm the entirety of Greek literature.^[vi] It was notable for its famous librarians: Demetrius, Zenodotus, Eratosthenes, Apollonius, Aristophanes, Aristarchus, and Callimachus.^[3] These scholars contributed significantly to the collection and cataloging of the wide diversity of scrolls in the library's drove. Most notably, Callimachus created what is considered to exist the first subject catalog of the library holdings, called the pinakes. The pinakes contained 120 scrolls arranged into x subject classes; each class was so subdivided, listing authors alphabetically past titles.^[six] The librarians at Alexandria were considered the "custodians of learning".^[7]

Almost the finish of the Roman Democracy and the beginning of the Roman Empire, it was common for Roman aristocrats to hold private libraries in their domicile. Many of these aristocrats, such every bit Cicero, kept the contents of their private libraries to themselves, only boasting of the enormity of his collection. Others, such every bit Lucullus, took on the role of lending librarian by sharing scrolls in their drove.^[8] Many Roman emperors included public libraries into their political propaganda to win favor from citizens. While scholars were employed in librarian roles in the various emperors' libraries, there was no specific part or role that qualified an private to be a librarian. For example, Pompeius Macer, the first librarian of Augustus' library, was a praetor, an office that combined both military and judicial duties. A subsequently librarian of the same library was Gaius Julius Hyginus, a grammarian.^[9]

Middle Ages and Renaissance [edit]

Burgundian scribe Jean Miélot in his scriptorium (15th century)

Christian monasteries in Europe are credited with keeping the institution of libraries alive afterwards the fall of the Roman Empire. It is during this time that the first codex (book as opposed to scroll) enters popularity: the parchment codex. Inside the monasteries, the role of librarian was frequently filled by an overseer of the scriptorium where monks would copy out books embrace to encompass. A monk named Anastasias who took on the championship of Bibliothecarius (literally "librarian") following his successful translations of the Greek classicists.^[10] During this flow, the lectern system, in which books were chained to desks for security, was also introduced.^[10] Nomenclature and organization of books during this flow was generally done by subject and alphabetically, with materials inventoried using basic check lists. Later in the menstruum, individuals known as librarius began more formal cataloguing, inventory, and classification.^[ten]

In the 14th century, universities began to reemerge which had libraries and employed librarians. At the same time royalty, nobles and jurists began to establish libraries of their own equally status symbols. Male monarch Charles V of France began his own library, and he kept his drove as a bibliophile, an attribute that is closely connected to librarians of this fourth dimension.^[8]

The Renaissance is considered to be a fourth dimension of aristocratic enthusiasm for libraries. During this menstruum, great private libraries were adult in Europe by figures such as Petrarch and Boccaccio. These libraries were sponsored by popes, royals, and nobility who sent agents throughout Western Europe to locate manuscripts in deteriorating monastic libraries. Equally a event, Renaissance libraries were filled with a wealth of texts.^[eleven] While materials in these libraries were mostly restricted, the libraries were open up to the public. Librarians were needed to program and organize libraries to run into public needs.^[10] A tool to attain these organizational goals, the beginning library catalog, appeared in 1595.^[12]

Enlightenment era [edit]

During the 16th century, the thought of creating a Bibliotheca Universalis, a universal listing of all printed books, emerged from well-established academics and librarians: Conrad Gessner, Gabriel Naudé, John Dury, and Gottfried Leibniz.^[13] The four librarians responsible for establishing the Bibliotheca Universalis are of import figures in librarianship. Gabriel Naudé published Avis pour dresser une bibliothèque, the start printed monograph on librarianship.^[12] In this monograph, Naudé advocated collecting all kinds of books, sometime and new, of famous, more obscure, and heretical authors. He also contributed to the thought of organization and administration of libraries which led to the development of library collections. Information technology was likewise in part thanks to Naudé that some libraries began to lend books outside of the precincts of the library.^[14]

John Dury is considered to be the first English language library theorist. He wrote 2 letters to Samuel Hartlib concerning the duties of a professional person librarian, which were published in 1650 as "The Reformed Librarie-Keeper". He held that librarians should non only intendance for the books, merely should likewise be well educated and accomplished to heighten the standards of librarianship. Furthermore, he advocated that librarians deserve a living wage in order to use their energy to perform their duties to the fullest extent.^[15] Gottfried Leibniz upheld that the librarian was the most important cistron in the aid of learning. He is credited as including scientific discipline texts in addition to conventional literature within library collections.^[xvi]

Another key figure of this time was Sir Thomas Bodley, who gave up his career as a diplomat and established Oxford's Bodleian library. He is credited equally creating the first functional library of modern times.^[17] Subsequent librarians following Bodley were called Protobibliothecarius Bodleianus , Bodley's Librarian. They would earn £40 a twelvemonth.^[18] The ideas formed with these librarians connected to develop into the 17th century. With the arroyo of Bibliotheca Universalis, libraries changed; the content of libraries became less selective, to include literature of entertainment besides as academic value. At this time, libraries also became fully open to the public, with access no longer restricted to a small circle of readers.

In 18th-century France, two librarians, Hubert-Pascal Ameilhon and Joseph Van Praet, selected and identified over 300,000 books and manuscripts that became the property of the people in the Bibliothèque Nationale.^[19] During the French Revolution, librarians causeless sole responsibility for selecting books for use by all citizen of the nation. Out of this activity came the implementation of the concept of mod library service: the democratic extension of library services to the general public, regardless of wealth or education.^[19]

Mod era [edit]

While there were full-time librarians in the 18th century, the professionalization of the library role was a 19th-century development, equally shown by its first training schoolhouse, its start academy schoolhouse, and its first professional associations and licensing procedures.^{[xx] [21]} In England in the 1870s, a new employment role opened for women in libraries; it was said that the tasks were "Eminently Suited to Girls and Women." By 1920, women and men were equally numerous in the library profession, merely women pulled ahead past 1930 and comprised fourscore% past 1960.^[22] The factors accounting for the transition included the demographic losses of the Beginning Globe State of war, the provisions of the Public Libraries Human action of 1919, the library-building activity of the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, and the library employment advocacy of the Central Bureau for the Employment of Women.^[23] In the United Kingdom, evidence suggests that the Conservative authorities began replacing professional person librarians with unpaid volunteers in 2015–2016.^[24]

COVID-xix pandemic in the US [edit]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the Usa in 2020, many librarians were temporarily displaced equally libraries across the land were affected past a nationwide shutdown in efforts to command the spread of SARS-CoV-ii disease.^{[25] [26]} During this time, library services were in high demand as patrons were stuck inside during quarantine,^[27] but with limited building access, nigh public library patrons switched to digital content, online learning, and virtual programs.^{[28] [29] [xxx]}

As the crisis escalated, there was a high demand for contact tracers,^[31] and the CDC had earlier named librarians as key public wellness staff to support COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing,^[32] and then many librarians and library staff volunteered to assist with contact tracing.^{[33] [34] [35]} Librarians also supported their community in other ways, such equally staffing non-emergency hotlines and manning shelters for the homeless, for which they were able to retain their income,^[36] while others were furloughed for a time.^[37]

During the COVID-19 pandemic the Librarian Reserve Corps^[38] formed. The Librarian Reserve Corps consists of a global network of volunteer librarians, specializing in academic libraries and medical libraries, who serve equally "information commencement responders"^{[39] [40]} in the fight against the Infodemic^[41] every bit a direct upshot of Covid-19 pandemic. The Librarian Reserve Corps Literature Enhancement and Metadata Enrichment (LIME)^[42] volunteers, pb by Jessica Callaway,^[43] continues to vet, index, and help disseminate resources well-nigh COVID-19 to various organizations, including the Global Outbreak Alarm and Response Network (GOARN) and the Earth Health Arrangement. Every bit of November 2021, the Librarian Reserve Corps have vetted over 60,000 publications^[43] relating to COVID-19. The Librarian Reserve Corps founder, Elaine Hicks, and co-leadership Stacy Brody and Sara Loree, were awarded the 2021 Librarian of the Yr^[44] title from Library Journal.

Roles and responsibilities [edit]

Traditionally, a librarian is associated with collections of books, as demonstrated past the etymology of the word "librarian" (from the Latin liber, "book").^[45] A 1713 definition of the give-and-take was "custodian of a library" 1713, while in the 17th century, the office was referred to as a "library-keeper", and a librarian was a "scribe, one who copies books".^[46]

The role of a librarian is continually evolving to meet social and technological needs. A modern librarian may deal with provision and maintenance of information in many formats, including books; electronic resources; magazines; newspapers; audio and video recordings; maps; manuscripts; photographs and other graphic material; bibliographic databases; and Net-based and digital resource. A librarian may too provide other information services, such equally information literacy pedagogy; figurer provision and training; coordination with community groups to host public programs; assistive technology for people with disabilities; and assistance locating community resources.^[47]

The Internet has had a profound impact on the resources and services that librarians of all kinds provide to their patrons. Electronic information has transformed the roles and responsibilities of librarians, even to the point of revolutionizing library didactics and service expectations.^{[48] [49]}

Positions and duties [edit]

Specific duties vary depending on the size and type of library. Olivia Crosby described librarians as "Information experts in the information age".^[l] Virtually librarians spend their time working in 1 of the post-obit areas of a library:

Archivists can be specialized librarians who deal with archival materials, such equally manuscripts, documents and records, though this varies from land to country, and there are other routes to the archival profession.

Collection development or acquisitions librarians monitor the selection of books and electronic resources.^[51] Large libraries frequently utilise blessing plans, which involve the librarian for a specific subject area creating a profile that allows publishers to send relevant books to the library without any additional vetting. Librarians tin can so see those books when they arrive and make up one's mind if they will become part of the collection or non. All collections librarians likewise have a certain corporeality of funding to permit them to purchase books and materials that don't make it via blessing.

Electronic resource librarians manage the databases that libraries license from tertiary-party vendors.

School librarians piece of work in school libraries and perform duties as teachers, information technology specialists, and advocates for literacy.

Instruction librarians teach information literacy skills in face-to-face classes or through the creation of online learning objects. They instruct library users on how to find, evaluate, and employ information effectively. They are well-nigh common in academic libraries.

Media specialists teach students to find and analyze information, buy books and other resource for the schoolhouse library, supervise library assistants, and are responsible for all aspects of running the library/media heart. Both library media teachers (LMTs) and immature developed public librarians guild books and other materials that volition interest their young adult patrons. They too must help YAs find relevant and authoritative Internet resource. Helping this age group to become lifelong learners and readers is a main objective of professionals in this library specialty.

Outreach librarians are charged with providing library and data services for underrepresented groups, such as people with disabilities, low income neighborhoods, home bound adults and seniors, incarcerated and ex-offenders, and homeless and rural communities. In academic libraries, outreach librarians might focus on high school students, transfer students, starting time-generation higher students, and minorities.

Public service librarians work with the public, frequently at the reference desk of lending libraries. Some specialize in serving adults or children. Children's librarians provide appropriate cloth for children at all age levels, include pre-readers, behave specialized programs and work with the children (and often their parents) to help foster involvement and competence in the young reader.^[51] (In larger libraries, some specialize in teen services, periodicals, or other special collections.)

Reference or research librarians help people doing inquiry to find the data they need, through a structured chat called a reference interview. The help may accept the form of research on a specific question, providing direction on the utilise of databases and other electronic data resources; obtaining specialized materials from other sources; or providing access to and care of delicate or expensive materials. These services are sometimes provided by other library staff that take been given a certain corporeality of special preparation; some accept criticized this trend.^[52]

Systems librarians develop, troubleshoot and maintain library systems, including the library itemize and related systems.

Technical service librarians piece of work "behind the scenes" ordering library materials and database subscriptions, computers and other equipment, and supervise the cataloging and concrete processing of new materials.

A Youth Services librarian, or children's librarian, is in charge of serving young patrons from infancy all the mode to young adulthood. Their duties vary, from planning summertime reading programs to weekly story hour programs. They are multitaskers, as the children's section of a library may act as its own separate library inside the same building. Children's librarians must be knowledgeable of pop books for school-aged children and other library items, such every bit east-books and audiobooks. They are charged with the task of creating a prophylactic and fun learning environs outside of school and the home.

A immature developed or YA librarian specifically serves patrons who are between 12 and eighteen years old. Young adults are those patrons that look to library services to give them direction and guidance toward recreation, education, and emancipation. A young developed librarian could work in several different institutions; one might be a school library/media teacher, a member of a public library team, or a librarian in a penal institution. Licensing for library/media teacher includes a Bachelor or Principal of Arts in Education and additional higher-level grade work in library science. YA librarians who work in public libraries are expected to accept a master'south degree in Library and Informatics (MLIS), relevant piece of work experience, or a related credential.^[53]

Boosted responsibilities [edit]

Experienced librarians may take administrative positions such as library or data eye managing director or learning resource officer. Similar to the management of whatsoever other system, they are concerned with the long-term planning of the library, and its relationship with its parent organization (the city or county for a public library, the college/university for an bookish library, or the organization served by a special library). In smaller or specialized libraries, librarians typically perform a wide range of the different duties.

Representative examples of librarian responsibilities:

• Researching topics of interest for their constituencies.
• Referring patrons to other community organizations and government offices.
• Suggesting appropriate books ("readers' informational") for children of different reading levels, and recommending novels for recreational reading.
• Reviewing books and journal databases
• Working with other instruction organisations to establish continual, lifelong learning and farther education initiatives
• Facilitating and promoting reading clubs.
• Developing programs for library users of all ages and backgrounds.
• Managing access to electronic information resources.
• Assessing library services and collections in order to best run into library users' needs.
• Building and maintaining collections to reply to irresolute community needs or demands
• Creating pathfinders
• Writing grants to proceeds funding for expanded program or collections
• Digitizing collections for online access
• Publishing articles in library science journals
• Answering incoming reference questions via telephone, postal mail, electronic mail, fax, and chat
• Delivering arts and cultural activities to local communities
• Initiating and establishing artistic digital activities to introduce children to coding, engineering and website building
• Mark promotion and advocacy of library services
• Assisting job seekers and local businesses
• Making and enforcing computer appointments on the public access Internet computers.^[54]

Librarians and work-related stress [edit]

As user and community needs alter over fourth dimension, the office of the librarian continues to reflect these changes. Librarians aid and interact with vulnerable or at-gamble populations regularly. It is proposed that librarians experience a moderate degree of work-related stress, and is reported that many experience harassment or emotionally challenging situations in their daily work.^[55] The public library in particular can frequently exist described as having an emotionally charged atmosphere.^[56] At that place is bear witness to suggest that specialized librarians might experience similar weather. For example, health science librarians study experiencing a balmy to moderate amount of secondary traumatic stress that develops from working closely with patients who are experiencing trauma.^[57]

Workplaces [edit]

Bones categories of workplace settings for librarians are routinely classified around the world as: public, academic, school, and special. Some librarians will kickoff and operate their own concern. They ofttimes phone call themselves information brokers, inquiry specialists, noesis management, competitive intelligence, or independent information professionals. Below are the bones differences betwixt the types of libraries.

Public library [edit]

Public libraries are created through legislation within the jurisdiction they serve. Accordingly, they are given certain benefits, such as taxpayer funding, but must adhere to service standards and meet a wide group of client needs. They are usually overseen by a board of directors or library commission from the community. Mission statements, service and collection policies are the central administrative features of public libraries. Occasionally, private lending libraries serve the public in the fashion of public libraries. In the U.s.a., public librarians and public libraries are represented past the Public Library Association.^[58] Public library staffing is structured in response to community needs. Libraries bridge traditional divisions between technical and public services positions by adopting new technologies such equally mobile library services and reconfigure organizations depending on the local state of affairs.^[59]

Academic library [edit]

An academic library is a library that is an integral part of a college, academy, or other institution of postsecondary education, administered to encounter the information and enquiry needs of its students, faculty, and staff. In the The states, the professional association for academic libraries and librarians is the Association of College and Inquiry Libraries.^[60] Depending upon the institution, the library may serve a particular faculty or the entire institution. Many different types, sizes, and collections are establish in bookish libraries and some academic librarians are specialists in these collections and archives. A academy librarian, or chief librarian, is responsible for the library within the college structure, and may also be called the Dean of Libraries or Director of Libraries. Some post-secondary institutions treat librarians as faculty, and they may be called professor or other academic ranks, which may or may not increment their salary and benefits. Some universities make similar demands of bookish librarians for research and professional service as are required of faculty. Academic librarians administer various levels of service and privilege to faculty, students, alumni, and the public.

School library [edit]

A school library exclusively serves the needs of a public or private school. The main purpose is to support the students, teachers, and curriculum of the school or school district. In improver to library assistants, certificated teacher-librarians instruct individual students, groups and classes, and faculty in effective research methods, often referred to as information literacy skills. Audio-visual equipment service and/or textbook circulation may too be included in a school librarian's responsibilities. Ofttimes, teacher-librarians are qualified teachers who accept academic courses for school library certification or earn a master'south degree in Library Science.

Special library [edit]

Special libraries are libraries designed to perform some specific function for a item set of people or an organization, i.e. news, law, medical, theological, prison, corporate, or museum. They can be highly specialized, serving a discrete user grouping with a restricted collection area. In an increasingly global and virtual workplace, many special librarians may non even work in a library at all but instead manage and facilitate the employ of electronic collections. Funding for special libraries varies widely. Librarians in some types of special libraries may be required to accept boosted training, such equally a constabulary caste for a librarian in an bookish law library or appropriate bailiwick degrees for subject specialties such as chemistry, engineering, etc. Many vest to the Special Libraries Clan.^[61] At that place are also more than specific associations such as the American Association of Law Libraries,^[62] Art Libraries Society of N America,^[63] the American Theological Library Association, the Medical Library Association,^[64] or the Visual Resources Association.^[65]

Didactics [edit]

Librarians generally hold a university degree in library science. It is also possible to earn a doctorate in library science. The first doctoral degree in library science was offered past the Graduate Library Schoolhouse, University of Chicago, 1928-1989.^[66] Graduates with PhDs usually become teaching faculty in schools of library and informatics, or sometimes occupy the directorship or deanship of university libraries. Those undertaking research at the doctoral level tin pursue a very wide range of interests including information technology, regime information policy, social research into information use among particular segments of club, information in organizations and corporate settings, and the history of books and printing.

It is mutual in bookish and other research libraries to crave the librarians to obtain master's degrees in some bookish subject, sometimes but not necessarily related to their professional responsibilities; in major research libraries, some of the librarians will hold PhD degrees in discipline fields. Other advanced degrees oftentimes taken in conjunction with a degree in librarianship are police force, management, health administration, or public administration. Despite the existence of doctoral programs existing to supplement a master's degree, the American Library Association considers a master's degree from an ALA accredited or approved program to be the terminal caste in the field.^[67]

Library technicians, library assistants, and library associates (non to exist confused with academic rank of assistant librarian or associate librarian) may have diplomas but usually do non concur library-related degrees. Occasionally they also hold undergraduate or graduate degrees in other disciplines. These workers, sometimes referred to as para-professionals, perform duties such as database management, library cataloging, fix reference, and serials and monograph processing.^[68]

Europe [edit]

In the United Kingdom, a librarian can have a 3- or four-year available's degree in library science; separate master's degrees in librarianship, archive management, and records management are also available. These degrees are accredited by the Chartered Plant of Library and Information Professionals and the Society of Archivists.^[69]

In Germany, the kickoff footstep for an academic librarian is a PhD in a bailiwick, followed past additional training in librarianship.^{[ citation needed ]}

North America [edit]

In the United States and Canada, a librarian more often than not has a one or two-yr (more mutual) master'southward degree in library science from an accredited university.^[50] This main's degree is obtained post-obit graduation from a bachelor's degree program in any discipline. The Library Science master's degree is accredited by the American Library Clan and can take specializations inside fields such as archival studies, records management, data compages, public librarianship, medical librarianship, police force librarianship, special librarianship, academic librarianship, or school (K-12) librarianship. School librarians often are required to have a didactics credential; however, an boosted library science degree is not more often than not required.^{[lxx] [71] [72]} Many, if not well-nigh, academic librarians besides have a second, bailiwick-based master's degree.^[73] This is especially true of librarians working at four-year colleges. Beta Phi Mu, the international honor lodge for library & information science and information technology, honors kinesthesia for distinguished service to education for librarianship with the annual Beta Phi Mu Award.

Oceania [edit]

In Commonwealth of australia, a professional person librarian must encounter the requirements ready out past the Australian Library and Data Association (ALIA). There are three ways in which these requirements can be met: the individual must obtain an ALIA-recognized available's degree in library and information studies, complete a first degree in any field of study followed by an ALIA-recognized postgraduate diploma or masters course, or proceeds an ALIA-recognized library technician qualifications (undertaken at a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) college/establish followed past an ALIA-recognized available's degree in library and information studies.^[74] ALIA is responsible for accreditation of library specific qualifications for both librarians and library technicians. Professional Australian teacher-librarians crave slightly unlike qualifications. In addition to having a degree that meets ALIA's accreditation procedure, instructor librarians must also hold recognized didactics qualifications.^[75]

Engineering [edit]

The increasing office of technology in libraries has a significant affect on the changing roles of librarians. New technologies are dramatically increasing the accessibility of information, and librarians are adapting to the evolving needs of users that emerge from the adoption of these new technologies.^{[76] [77]} Digital librarians take go ubiquitous in the Information Age, so much and so that a new give-and-take has been coined for such digital curators: "cybrarian", which is a portmanteau of the prefix "cyber-" (used to denote digital technology) and "librarian". The term "cybrarian" tin be applied to someone who concerns themselves primarily with the role that engineering science plays in a traditional library setting.^[78] The term is also sometimes used for freelance information consultants.^[79]

Ane of the most significant examples of how technology has changed the role of librarians in the final fifty years has been the motility from traditional carte du jour catalogs to online public access catalogs (OPACs).^[80] Librarians had to develop software and the MARC standards for cataloguing records electronically.^[81] They had to purchase and run the computers necessary to use the software. They had to teach the public how to use the new technologies and movement to more virtual working environments.

The aforementioned could be said of other technology developments, from electronic databases (including the Internet), to logistical functions such as bar codes (or in the most future RFID). Many librarians provide virtual reference services (via spider web-based chat, instant messaging, text messaging, and e-mail),^[82] work in digitizing initiatives for works in the public domain, teach information literacy and technology classes to their users, and work on the development of information architectures for improving access and search functionality. These examples illustrate some of the ways in which librarians are using technology to fulfill and expand upon their historical roles.

Librarians must continually adapt to new formats for information, such as electronic journals and e-books, which present both challenges and opportunities in providing admission and promoting them to library patrons.^[77]

Increasing technological advance has presented the possibility of automating some aspects of traditional libraries. In 2004 a group of researchers in Spain developed the UJI Online Robot. This robot is able to navigate the library, look for the specified volume, and upon its discovery, carefully take it from the shelf and evangelize it to the user.^[83] Because of the robot's extremely limited function, its introduction into libraries poses trivial risk of the employment of librarians, whose duties are not divers by menial tasks such as the retrieval of books.

Recently over 100 libraries in the United States take begun adding 3D printers to their collections in an effort to expose the public to cutting-border technology.^[84]

Professional person organizations [edit]

United States [edit]

The two largest library associations in the United States are the American Library Association (ALA) and the Special Libraries Association.^[61] YALSA,^[85] The Young Adult Library Services Clan, serves Young Developed librarians, and is office of the American Library Clan. Many U.S. states have their ain library association as well. Librarians may likewise join such organizations as the Association of Higher and Enquiry Libraries^[86] and the Public Library Clan^[87] and the Art Libraries Society.^[88] The Canadian Library Association serves Canada and there are provincial associations as well, such as the Ontario Library Association. In the U.k., the professional body for Librarians is the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals^[89] (formerly known as the Library Association). The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)^[90] represents the interests of libraries and librarians internationally. (See also the List of Library Associations.) IFLA hosts the annual IFLA World Library and Information Congress.

Contempo bug of concern for U.S. libraries include implementation of the Patriot Act and the Children's Cyberspace Protection Deed. Many librarians around the globe share American librarians' concern over ethical issues surrounding censorship and privacy.

Some librarians join activist organizations like the UK-based Information for Social Modify^[91] and the North American-based Progressive Librarians Gild.^[92] The Progressive Librarians Club covers the actions of union library workers in its journal and blog, Matrimony Library Workers.^{[93] [94]}

Within the American Library Clan (ALA), some too join the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT).^[95] SRRT came into being amid the social ferment of the 1960s and is often disquisitional of the American Library Clan for not living up to its professed ideals. Another important activist organisation is the Social Responsibilities Special Interest Section^[96] of the American Association of Constabulary Libraries (AALL).^[97] These activist organizations are viewed as controversial past some librarians, while others view them every bit a natural extension and outgrowth of their own deeply held library ethics. Librarians in the Usa who equally political actors in our times provide examples of a delivery to equality, the right to know or social justice include Peter Chase, George Christian, Janet Nocek, and Barbara Bailey. In the Doe five. Gonzales case, these librarians challenged the constitutionality of the nondisclosure provisions of the National Security Letters issued by the government under the USA Patriot Human action in terrorist or other investigations. The four received the Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty from the American Ceremonious Liberties Marriage in June 2007.^[98]

Gender and librarianship [edit]

U.s.a. [edit]

Librarianship manifests a dual career structure for men and women in the Us. In 2015, 83 percent of librarians were women.^[99] In 2018, that number dropped to 79 percent of all librarians working in the United States earlier jumping back up to 81 per centum in 2019.^[100]

In spite of women making upwards most of the workforce, in 2014, women working as full-fourth dimension librarians reported a median annual bacon of $48,589, compared to $52,528 for men.^[101] In 2019 the wage gap was nonetheless 92 percent of the median annual earnings reported by men. African American women earned only 69.nine cents and Hispanic and Latina women earned 63.8 cents on every dollar earned by a human of any race. Asian women were the merely female racial grouping to earn more than men of all races, but they still only earned 76.vii cents to the dollar reported past Asian men.^[100]

Top positions in libraries are more often held by men; for case, the position of Librarian of Congress has been held, mostly, past men since the establishment of the Library of Congress. Women, notwithstanding, have fabricated continuous progress toward equality.^[102] Women take too been largely left out of standard histories of U.South. librarianship, but Suzanne Hildenbrand's scholarly assessment of the work done by women has expanded the historical tape.^[103]

In 1911, Theresa Elmendorf became the first woman elected president of the American Library Association (which was founded in 1876); she was also the offset woman always to exist nominated for this position.^[104] She was ALA president from May 24, 1911, until July 2, 1912.^[105]

On July 13, 2016, Carla Hayden became the first female person, and the offset African American, to become Librarian of Congress. Dr. Hayden was nominated by President Barack Obama in February 2016 equally the 14th Librarian of Congress.^[106]

The American Library Clan'southward Social Responsibilities Round Table Feminist Task Strength (FTF) was founded in 1970 by women who wished to address sexism in libraries and librarianship.^[107] FTF was the first ALA group to focus on women's issues.^[107]

The Committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship (COSWL) of the American Library Association,^[108] founded in 1976, represents the diversity of women'south interest within ALA and ensures that the Association considers the rights of the majority (women) in the library field, and promotes and initiates the collection, assay, broadcasting, and coordination of information on the condition of women in librarianship. The bibliographic history of women in U.Southward. librarianship and women librarians developing services for women has been well-documented in the series of publications initially issued past the Social Responsibilities Round Table Task Force on Women and after continued by COSWL.^[109]

The Reference and Adult Services Division of the ALA has a word group titled "Women'south Materials and Women Library Users," formed in the mid-1980s.^[110]

The Library Leadership and Management Association Segmentation of the ALA has a discussion grouping titled "LLAMA Women Administrators Give-and-take Grouping," which exists to provide a forum for word of problems of item concern to women in administrative positions.^[111]

The ALA also has the Women & Gender Studies Section (WGSS) of its Division "Association of College & Research Libraries"; this section was formed to talk over, promote, and support women'southward studies collections and services in academic and research libraries.^[112]

The ALA Policy Manual states nether B.2.ane.xv Access to Library Resources and Services Regardless of Sex, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, or Sexual Orientation (Onetime Number 53.one.15): "The American Library Association stringently and unequivocally maintains that libraries and librarians have an obligation to resist efforts that systematically exclude materials dealing with any subject matter, including sex, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation. The Association likewise encourages librarians to proactively support the Kickoff Amendment rights of all library users, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression. Adopted 1993, amended 2000, 2004, 2008, 2010."^[113] Information technology too states under B.2.12 Threats to Library Materials Related to Sex, Gender Identity, or Sexual Orientation(Old Number 53.12), "The American Library Association supports the inclusion in library collections of materials that reflect the variety of our society, including those related to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression. ALA encourages all American Library Clan capacity to have agile stands against all legislative or other government attempts to proscribe materials related to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression; and encourages all libraries to learn and make available materials representative of all the people in our guild. Adopted 2005, Amended 2009, 2010."^[114]

Popular culture [edit]

Stereotypes of librarians in popular culture are often negative: librarians are portrayed every bit puritanical, punitive, unattractive, and timid if female, or timid, unattractive, and effeminate if male.^[115] These stereotypes have harmed librarians in the public eye.^[116]

Librarianship for Deaf communities [edit]

Deafened people at the library have the same needs every bit every other person visiting the library and often take more difficulty accessing materials and services. Australian librarian Karen McQuigg states that "even ten years ago, when I was involved in a project looking at what public libraries could offering the deaf, it seemed as if the gap between the requirements of this group and what public libraries could offer was as well not bad for public libraries to be able to serve them effectively."^[117]

United States [edit]

The ALA has admitted that disabled people belong to a minority that is often overlooked and under-represented by people in the library, and the Deaf community belongs in this minority group.^[118] However, in the last few decades, libraries across the United States have made great strides in the mission of making libraries more accessible to disabilities in general and to the Deaf community specifically.

One of the showtime activists in the library community working toward accessibility for the Deaf was Alice Hagemeyer. When disabled communities began enervating equality in the 1970s, Hagemeyer decided to go back to school for her master'due south degree in library science. While she was studying in that location, she realized that in that location was not very much data most the Deaf community at her library or at the libraries of any of her classmates. She soon became an activist for Deaf awareness at her library, and she became the get-go "Librarian for the Deaf Community" from whatever public library in the nation. Hagemeyer also constructed a manual of resource for Deafened people and those associated with them called The Red Notebook,^[119] which is at present online at the website of the Friends of Libraries for Deaf Activity. Hagemeyer was ane of the offset library activists to make strides for the Deaf community.^[120]

New guidelines from library organizations such as International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and the ALA were written in order to help libraries make their data more accessible to people with disabilities, and in some cases, specifically the Deafened community. IFLA's Guidelines for Library Services to Deaf People is one such prepare of guidelines, and it was published to inform libraries of the services that should be provided for Deaf patrons. Nigh of the guidelines pertain to ensuring that Deaf patrons accept equal access to all available library services. Other guidelines include grooming library staff to provide services for the Deaf customs, availability of text telephones or TTYs not only to assist patrons with reference questions simply also for making outside calls, using the nearly recent applied science in order to communicate more effectively with Deaf patrons, including airtight captioning services for any television set services, and developing a collection that would interest the members of the Deaf customs.^[121]

Over the years, library services have begun to evolve in order to accommodate the needs and desires of local Deaf communities. At the Queen Civic Public Library (QBPL) in New York, the staff implemented new and innovative ideas in social club to involve the community and library staff with the Deaf people in their community. The QBPL hired a deafened librarian, Lori Stambler, to train the library staff virtually Deaf culture, to teach sign language classes for family members and people who are involved with deaf people, and to teach literacy classes for Deaf patrons. In working with the library, Stambler was able to help the customs reach out to its deaf neighbors, and helped other deafened people go more than active in their outside community.^[122]

Deafened libraries [edit]

The library at Gallaudet University, the only Deaf liberal arts university in the The states, was founded in 1876. The library'south drove has grown from a small number of reference books to the world's largest collection of deaf-related materials with over 234,000 books and thousands of other materials in different formats. The collection is and then big that the library had to create a hybrid classification system based on the Dewey Decimal Nomenclature Organisation in order to make cataloging and location within the library much easier for both library staff and users. The library also houses the university's archives, which holds some of the oldest deafened-related books and documents in the world.^[123]

In Nashville, Tennessee, Sandy Cohen manages the Library Services for the Deafened and Hard of Hearing (LSDHH). The plan was created in 1979 in response to information accessibility issues for the Deaf in the Nashville surface area. Originally, the only service provided was the news via a teletypewriter or TTY, just today, the program has expanded to serving the entire state of Tennessee past providing all different types of information and cloth on deafness, Deafened culture, and information for family members of Deaf people, as well equally a historical and reference collection.^[124]
