“…In this context, collaboration between the instruction librarian and the archivist or special collections librarian was identified by Hensley et al (2014); Krause (2010b) and Sutton and Knight (2006). Specifically, Hensley et al (2014) suggested that it could be beneficial for archivists to collaborate with librarians who have an educational role to learn from their experience.…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify through a systematic review the roles that archivists adopt in a changing archival landscape and to illustrate any similarities between the roles of archivist and librarians. Design/methodology/approach The systematic literature review approach was adopted for the purposes of this research. Specifically, peer-reviewed literature published in English between 2000 and 2015 was considered. The relevant papers were retrieved based on specific search terms run on related databases. Findings The analysis showed that the traditional roles of record-keeper and collection manager were still relevant, whereas new ones, namely, digital archivist, archivist as educator and dual archivist/librarian, started to prevail. The technological developments as well as the social and educational changes seemed to have affected the emergence of these new roles, whereas the need for collaboration and communication among archivists, librarians and researchers was evident in many roles, namely, archivist as educator, dual archivist/librarian and archivist as researcher. Originality/value This literature review explored the different roles that archivists adopt within their work context and not the archivists’ skills, duties and responsibilities.

“…Some authors report that there are still misconceptions about archivists and archival work on the part of librarians, although these misconceptions may be decreasing as archival functions become better known to others in the information professions (Salvatore, 2012). Others note how librarians can incorporate archives into information literacy sessions (Sutton & Knight, 2006). One of the few cross-disciplinary research articles is a survey of academic archivists who also had librarian roles.…”

“…There are many opportunities for librarians and archivists to collaborate and share in the goals of dissemination and preservation of information and connecting communities to their histories; for example, through library-archive relationships, archives contained within libraries, or via integrating archives into information literacy instruction (Sutton & Knight, 2006). However, there are sometimes misunderstandings amongst librarians about archives and the work of archivists (Dill, 2008;Salvatore, 2012).…”

This article reports on a study investigating academic librarians' varying experiences of archives in order to promote understanding and communication among librarians and archivists. A qualitative, phenomenographic approach was adopted for the study. Three different ways of experiencing archives were identified from analysis of interviews. Archives may be experienced by academic librarians as 1) a place which protects collections; 2) resources to be used in accomplishing tasks such as teaching, research, or outreach; or 3) manifestations of politics. The third way of experiencing archives is the most complex, incorporating both the other experiences. The results of this study may help librarians, especially academic librarians, and archivists communicate more clearly on joint projects involving archival collections thereby enabling more collaboration.

“…Yakel (2004) called for the establishment of information competencies specific to archival research to foster a better understanding of those materials when used outside of in-person reference contexts. Sutton and Knight (2006), and Hensley, Murphy, and Swain (2014) endorsed collaborative library instruction sessions between special collections and instruction librarians. In 2009, Archer, Hanlon, and Levine tested the use of an online guide for teaching primary source research, which exposed some limitations in students' abilities to define and locate such sources from the guide alone.…”

At California State University, Northridge (CSUN), many students lack the skills needed to locate, analyze, and apply essential contexts associated with primary sources. Using these sources requires critical inquiry, which is a fundamental theme in pedagogy, the California State University system's Core Competencies, and the Association of College and Research Libraries Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. The authors piloted a Guided Resource Inquiry (GRI) tool that enables teaching faculty and librarians to create course assignments integrating online primary sources. These assignments deliver relevant information literacy tutorials to students using a single interface. With the GRI students better understood the nature of primary sources and how to analyze them critically in their course work. Additionally, students more fully understood the research process, and were more likely to use primary and archival materials in the future.
