Defending Professionalism by William A. Crowley Book PDF Summary

Since the 2007 financial crisis, increasing numbers of experienced and newly degreed library, information, and archival professionals across the United States have lost their positions or been unable to secure a beginning professional position. In many instances, American public, academic, and school libraries have borne a disproportionate share of the cutbacks made by state and local governments, universities and school systems. There is no longer any way to deny or to escape the responsibility of marketing services and being an advocate for one's profession. Practitioners also need effective arguments and approaches for combating library and information deprofessionalization. Here is the antidote for ineptitude in the fight to preserve professionalism in all major library and information environments. (Editor).
