| contents | Instruction Librarians' Perceptions of the Faculty-Librarian Relationship Becksford, Lisa Librarians Library Instruction Librarian Attitudes College Faculty Interprofessional Relationship Professional Identity Professional Autonomy Teaching Experience This study investigates instruction librarians' perceptions of their relationships with teaching faculty. Respondents to a survey of U.S. instruction librarians indicated that they tended to agree that their teaching was valued and they had autonomy in what they taught. However, the often one-time nature of library instruction limited their effectiveness as teachers, and respondents felt that faculty did not view librarians' teaching as equivalent to their own. Respondents also reported a disconnect between their professional identities and others' viewpoints, describing having their teaching role minimized or misunderstood by others, especially faculty. Additionally, a relationship was found between some aspects of librarians' perceptions of the faculty--librarian relationship and three separate factors: formal, non-library teaching experience; length of time as an instruction librarian; and librarians' amount of teaching. This research sheds light on the complexities of this important relationship and helps instruction librarians understand how others' views impact their professional identities. |
