Connect with learners by applying design thinking to develop and enhance library services.  Scenarios, case studies, and profiles throughout illustrate the successes that blended librarians are having on campuses.  This practical, hand-on guide expands the possiblities for academic librarians in public service, reference, instruction, and information literacy.

In this seminal reserach, Watson-Boone investigates the realtionship between a liberal arts education and a career in librarianship, drawing on her survey of 431 librarians who graduated from eight liberal arts colleges - Carleton, Denison, Earlham, Grinnell, Kalamazoo, Lawrence, Macalester, and Swarthmore - from 1962 - 2000.  Following up related studies and connecting to broader library career issues, this study complements prior quantitative studies with a qualitative approach covering 39 years.  Topics include how schools and families influence career choice, how librarians assess their careers, and how librarians' functions have changed over the past four decades.
