Kennedy, co-director, Institute for Research Design in Librarianship and the Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA, and writer, orgmonkey.net Both introspective and practical, this book empowers researchers, builds community, and celebrates the scholarly work that is critical to reflective practice. This resource is an essential companion for librarians at any stage in their research journey. -- Katy B. Mathuews, PhD, Executive Director & CEO, OhioNet, researcher & author, co-author of Creating A Staff-Led Strategic Plan: A Practical Guide for Libraries The authors who contributed to this outstanding edited volume describe and analyze the myriad ways that academic librarians become researchers, providing links between theory and practice and practical advice to novices for research success. Academic librarians are the only academic professionals whose graduate programs likely did not prepare them for the reality that most of us work in institutions that either require or strongly encourage us to become researchers. Across 17 chapters, the authors center the importance of identity as a researcher and other personal attributes.They explore the importance of continuing education, mentorship, creating community with librarians and other researchers; and finding or creating an organization that values and supports librarian researchers. This book is highly recommended for academic librarians anywhere along their professional journey as researchers and for the academic library administrators who support them. -- Kristine R. Brancolini, co-director of the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL), and dean of the library, Loyola Marymount University This comprehensive guide is a must-read for librarians seeking to develop themselves as researchers or responsible for fostering a culture of scholarly inquiry. With insightful contributions from practitioner-scholars, this book offers pragmatic strategies for building a research agenda, navigating publication processes, and creating supportive communities of practice. Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to refine your approach, the book provides valuable tools and advice for every stage of the librarian-as-researcher journey. -- Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, Professor/Coordinator for Research Professional Development, University Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
