Librarians and the Labor of the Everyday

The labor of library workers is in some sense timeless: we select, acquire, organize, preserve, circulate, and make accessible the sum of human knowledge. As we perform these tasks, we produce and reproduce information structures that reflect the ideologies of the present. Inevitably, this means we make new each day systems of patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, and other social and political forces. We have the opportunity to choose a different way of working with each book we describe and classify, each patron question we help shape against our database interfaces, and each relationship we build with each other in the building each work day. Making new futures asks us to shape our professional practice around visions for a new future.

Professional Development as a Primary Responsibility

Professional development for academic librarians is often seen as a secondary or tertiary responsibility for improving professional practice. Would our view of and support for this activity be different if we viewed it as having a direct and immediate impact on our primary assignment? Is professional development in all its forms simply a garnish for our day-to-day responsibilities, or is it a more central component of our professional practice? Building on the conference theme of “Developing the Professional, Evolving our Profession” provides an opportunity for us to consider how our professional practice is professional development, and professional development is professional practice.
