Tracing The History Of Discourses On Professionalism In The “Sister Professions” Of Librarianship And Social Work In The United States, Rachel E. Trnka

Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

In Whole Person Librarianship: A Social Work Approach to Patron Services (2019), Zettervall and Nienow aptly refer to librarianship and social work as ‘sister professions’, highlighting their gendered histories and similar professional values.

This article compares the historical development of professional social work and librarianship by tracing the changing discourses on professionalism, attending to …

Widely recognized as an evidence-based best-practice for experiential-learning (Kolb, 2015), critical reflection generates, deepens, and documents learning (Ash and Clayton, 2009).

Reflective journaling provides a valuable outlet for students to “think about various concepts, events, or interactions over a period …
