An Ongoing Study: The Perception of Academic
Librarians as Researchers
-
online survey - 6 major Canadian
Universities (librarian, non-librarians)
-
top 3 roles of librarians are:
teaching, research, collection management
-
top 3 roles of non-librarians
are: research support, facilitating access to information, research
-
perhaps a limitation of the
survey, asking about research specifically, so likely responses have to do with
research
-
research is essential to good
service
-
librarians as researchers, but
not necessarily seen as academics
-
conducting research can help to
improve outside faculty members opinions of us as respected researchers
-
research or equivalent
activity, falls under professional or scholarly activity
-
online survey was the first step, next she will be conducting interviews with individuals who were willing to participate (i.e. from the survey,
I am willing to be contacted in the future)
