As librarianship evolves, it is important to examine the changes that have taken place in professional requirements. To provide an understanding of the current market demand for core competencies of librarianship, this article conducts a semi-automatic methodology to analyze job advertisements (ads) posted on the American Library Association (ALA) Joblist from 2009 through 2014. There is evidence that the ability to solve unexpected complex problems and to provide superior customer service gained increasing importance for librarians during those years. The authors contend that the findings in this report question the status quo of core competencies of librarianship in the US job market.

“…Arguably, electronic resources management is still a nascent subfield of librarianship that emerged in the 1990s. There are several discussions regarding the professional identity of the electronic resources librarian as depicted by the analysis of position descriptions (Hartnett, 2014;Murdock, 2010).

This may be why problem tracking tools, LibGuides, blogs, and wikis are all tools that are usually part of an incidentmanagement system already in place at public service areas in the library, like reference or information technology.…”

A primary role of any e-resources librarian or staff is troubleshooting electronic resources. While much progress has been made in many areas of e-resources management to understand the ERM lifecycle and to manage workflows, troubleshooting access remains a challenge. This collaborative study is the result of the well-received 2013 survey examining workflows from libraries large and small, with e-resources staffing ranging from one person to large consortial arrangements. The authors summarize the technological tools and products, the techniques, and the training methods libraries use to manage troubleshooting for electronic resources.
