ReviewsUS librarians challenge the modern tradition of status-quo librarianship, some scanning their topic and others diving deep. Looking mostly at academic and public libraries, they consider such aspects as vital assets: libraries as partners in community development, the new Jack of All: the evolution of the functionality and focus of the academic librarian in new spaces and new roles, responding to change: reinventing librarian identities in the age of research mandates, and the role of public librarians in supporting physical activity.
