“…In addition to literature highlighting new responsibilities in librarian and management roles, as well as guidance with transitioning to higher positions, there is also literature that focuses on how colleges and universities respond to the evolving roles of academic libraries, such as the necessity of creating campus partnerships. Articles exploring library collaboration with Student and Academic Affairs (Forrest, 2005;Walter, 2018), faculty (Campbell & Wesley, 2006;Díaz & Mandernach, 2017;Owens & Bozeman, 2009), and other campus entities (Pun & Kubo, 2017;Kelleher & Laidlaw, 2009;Benjamin & Dermody, 2016) all show how the perception of the library and its role has developed over time as new needs and initiatives have emerged on college campuses.…”

In this article, three academic librarians discuss the benefits and challenges in starting inaugural positions as tenure-track librarians at the University of Illinois. Using an autoethnographic method, the authors reflect on what it is like to grow, develop, and maintain relationships and collaborations in a primarily online environment during a global pandemic. Themes of relationship building, the importance of communication, and the necessity of setting goals emerged from their discussions with each other. The various complexities of their experiences are discussed, and recommendations for other librarians in newly related roles and suggestions for supervisors overseeing these positions are included towards the end of the article.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a driving force for academic libraries to reexamine how they provide services and support to their communities. This was certainly the case at my academic branch library, where we were also preparing for a major construction project that was slated to begin during the fall 2020 semester. The combination of these two circumstances complicated the question of how to engage students safely and effectively when the library was more inaccessible than ever before. In order to meet students where they were, I collaborated with the coordinator for student life and diversity to develop a virtual learning commons that supports intellectual, social, physical, and mental wellbeing. This column will explore the process of creating the Virtual Learning Commons and provide reflections for how this tool has become a necessary component of the student experience.

“…Libraries have responded to the employability agenda by contributing to institutional and departmental programs and aligning their reference and instruction services to jobsearch and workplace requirements, often collaborating with other services, such as career centres (Hollister 2005;Pun & Kubo 2017;Tyrer, Ives & Corke 2013). Librarians have highlighted important contextual and functional differences between academic and workplace IL and across different employment sectors, compounded by misunderstandings among stakeholders about the scope and applicability of IL (Crawford & Irving 2011;Quinn & Leligdon 2014).…”
