Abstract

Describes how advances in information and communication technologies are bringing about profound changes in the operating environment of academic libraries, introducing new computer-based systems for teaching, learning, research and scholarly communication. Explains how the roles of staff are changing, particularly paraprofessionals, liaison librarians, and senior managers, and discusses the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to perform effectively in the networked environment, highlighting the breadth and depth of technical, managerial and personal competencies needed. Concludes that new competence frameworks are required to reflect the expanded skillset and library staff development should be managed strategically in collaboration with academic and service partners.
