Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider the challenges facing academic librarians in an increasingly networked environment.

Design/methodology/approach – Draws on theoretical perspectives and the literature to argue the case for academic librarians to develop their theoretical understanding of communication and pedagogy and the practical implications.

Findings – Suggests five distinct areas of opportunity in which librarians can develop their role.

Originality/value – The paper states that new roles are opening up for academic librarians, roles which build on their traditional skills but challenge them to acquire new ones.
