The role of academic librarians in education and training: A timeline of attitude transformation

During the IFLA World Library and Information Congress in Malaysia (2018), delegates were encouraged to add their own attitudes towards education and training to the poster via sticky notes. Some of the 15 responses gathered at the congress expressed surprise at having to perform an education and training role in libraries. Most of the recorded attitudes towards the role were positive in nature, reflecting much of the literature shown on the poster. Feelings of ambivalence and/or discomfort in regard to education and training were not recorded as often on the sticky notes by congress delegates.
