Since the dawn of the profession, librarians’ job descriptions have continuously evolved with changes in culture and technology. Perhaps now more than ever, librarians’ roles in the community as “experts in curation” are facing unparalleled scrutiny— riding a cultural wave of misinformation and changing tides with rapidly advancing technology. But a librarian’s job is much more than what’s reported in the headlines.
