The New Librarianship Field Guide (The MIT Press) Paperback – May 13, 2016

You feel like he is talking to you. The book is outstanding because he describes the work of libraries and those in it with honor and reverence. Now along with at, is a tremendous challenge to develop conversation skills, sit next to the customer vs across a desk and to be advocates. Lankes is a master and a huge gift to the world of librarianship. I love how he says a room of books is a closet, but a room with nothing in it but a Librarian is a library. It's us not the stuff! Please read this book! It will change you for the better!!!

This book is a compilation of the ideas of other peoples work and does not reflect the current state of libraries and the needs of users. I wish I could return.

With librarianship being in danger of being lost to automation the need for socially conscious librarians who are active both in their libraries and in their communities is at its greatest. This books helps to fulfill that need. KUDOS TO THIS BOOK AND ITS AUTHOR !!!!

This is a truly enjoyable read. Lankes has a very deep dive here that any librarian could benefit from reading.

Easy to read book for librarians and would be librarians everywhere

本書は著者が2011年に公開したAtlas版を文書で補足したテキスト版。構造的な記述方式で一貫性があり、21世紀の学術情報流通を前面に出した構成でわかりやすい。前著のフローチャートという巨漢の1冊の不備を補っている。その不備は：概念ごとに全体の地図との位置関係を明示、必要に応じて解説文と参考文献が明示されている。本書全体への補遺資料はインターネットのサイト（[...]）として解説され、読者の書き込みを待っている。惜しむらくは、印刷本に索引がない。全体を展望できる文献表がないこと、これは評者の読み癖が古いのだろうか。大部な変形本で持ち運びにも気遣わざるをえないが、知的に刺激される好著。であり、図書館情報学がデジタル主導で大きく学術研究環境を変革している現状に知識創造（knowledge Creation）を明確に位置づけて、使命（mission）から使節団（missionary）へと変貌する図書館情報学活動の未来図を文章で描き出した1冊。前著との併読が最善。
