Ten Things Librarians Don't Want To Hear But Need To Know: A Dialog - Scelc Colloquim Iv, Gordon C. Tibbitts

Gordon C. Tibbitts III

The past decade has provided librarians with innumerable opportunities, changes, and, indeed, anxieties. From rapid technological changes to generational conflicts in the workplace to the current fiscal crisis, many librarians feel increasingly powerless to address the issues that confront their day-to-day challenges. In this presentation, two SCELC librarians from Generations X & Y will interview two industry veterans to reflect upon ten “difficult” realities that our profession will have to address in the coming decade if our profession is to continue to make a difference.
