- Teacher, Librarian, or Both? A Quantitative Investigation of Instruction Librarians' Teacher Identity Becksford, Lisa Librarians Professional Identity Teaching Experience Teacher Education Correlation Academic Libraries College Faculty Library Instruction Teaching Methods Professional Development Undergraduate Study Graduate Study This study investigates instruction librarians' potential teacher identity and the factors that may contribute to it. Responses to a survey of instruction librarians in the United States suggest that respondents see themselves as teachers and devote a significant portion of their time to teaching, though they received little pedagogy training in library school. In addition, a relationship was found between pedagogy knowledge and teacher identity. However, respondents reported having insufficient time for pedagogy-related professional development although they actively seek such opportunities. This research underscores the importance of institutional support so that instruction librarians can engage in pedagogy-related professional development.
