Abstract

Personal librarian programs have been used in academic libraries since 1984, peaking in prevalence in the 2010s, and although assessment varies, they have shown to be a successful student engagement program in academic libraries. To survey and compile these programs for future program development, the authors comprehensively reviewed published literature on academic library programs categorized as personal librarian programs using scoping review methodology. Sources searched were Academic Search Complete, Web of Science core collection, Library and Information Science Abstracts, Library and Information Science Sources, Education Research Complete, monographs, conference proceedings, and gray literature. Programs were primarily in North America, with eighteen in the U.S., four in Canada and one in South Africa. The authors found that a plan of assessment should be in place before embarking on a personal librarian program. By reviewing the various models of personal librarian programs, the authors hope that this scoping review will assist librarians in selecting the appropriate model for their academic institution.

摘要

自 1984 年以来，个人图书馆员计划已在学术图书馆中使用，在 2010 年代达到顶峰，尽管评估各不相同，但它们已被证明是学术图书馆中成功的学生参与计划。为了调查和编译这些项目以供未来项目开发，作者使用范围审查方法全面审查了已发表的关于学术图书馆项目的文献，这些项目被归类为个人图书馆员项目。搜索的资源包括 Academic Search Complete、Web of Science 核心合集、图书馆和信息科学摘要、图书馆和信息科学资源、教育研究完整、专着、会议论文集和灰色文献。项目主要在北美，其中美国有 18 个，加拿大有 4 个，南非有 1 个。作者发现，在开始个人图书馆员计划之前，应该制定评估计划。通过审查个人图书馆员计划的各种模式，作者希望这次范围审查将帮助图书馆员为他们的学术机构选择合适的模式。
