Abstract

This literature review aims to answer three questions: (1) Why is teaching important in the role of an academic librarian? (2) What teaching-related initiatives have been used by academic librarians to acquire teaching competencies? (3) How does teaching in academic libraries relate to the community of practice formed by educators across disciplines at a higher education institution? A review of the literature highlights the importance of teaching in academic libraries. Findings suggest that onboarding processes at academic libraries should accommodate the pedagogical and andragogical gaps of new librarians by implementing mentorship programs and providing ongoing feedback. Establishing such protocols would establish a framework for supporting a community of practice with regard to academic librarianship and teaching.

摘要

这篇文献综述旨在回答三个问题：（1）为什么教学对学术图书馆员的作用很重要？（2）高校图书馆员使用了哪些与教学有关的举措来获得教学能力？（3）高校图书馆的教学与高等教育机构中跨学科的教育工作者形成的实践社区有何关系？文献综述突出了在高校图书馆进行教学的重要性。研究结果表明，高校图书馆的入职流程应通过实施指导计划并提供持续的反馈，来弥补新图书馆员的教学和管理上的空白。建立此类协议将建立一个框架，以支持学术图书馆管理和教学方面的实践社区。
