Ball, Rafael (2010) THE END OF ALL NICHES: THE FUTURE POSITION OF THE
ACADEMIC LIBRARIAN IN A MODERN SERVICE INDUSTRY. In: Kocójowa, Maria,
(ed.) ePublications of Information and Library Science Institute of
the JU. Libraries, Information, Books: Interdisciplinary Research and
Practice in 21st Century, Series III, 7. Nicht ausgewählt, S. 72-79.

A (University) Library is a modern service industry which has to
follow the rules of effectiveness, efficiency
and productivity. Even academic librarians have to be integrated into
the production process of 'the supply
of information' in such a way that they can deliver optimal results on
the basis of their qualifications. In the process,
the classic occupational image of the subject indexing lone fighter
has dramatically changed into that of
a productive performance bearer with great skills in management,
social competence and performance.
This paper gives an overview of the historical development of the
classic academic librarian and the current requirements
for a modern information manager. The strictly contrastive approach
makes clear what a quantum
leap there is between the image of a classic academic librarian, and
the modern requirements for an efficient
academic employee in the production process of supplying information.
