Alfabetización informacional y bibliotecas en la globalización neoliberal
No full textThis paper aims to spread a M. Seale's chapter translated into Spanish: “The neoliberal library” (Seale, 2013). A critical, historical and interdisciplinary perspective is adopted in order to addres the analys of the conceptual, social and political keys that underlie information literacy. Seale does not agree with technocratic and ahistoric visions about information literacy so its origin is framed within the logic of "information society" and academic capitalism in the eighties in the EEUU. Seale's work is important as it implies political and educational perspectives that are usually hidden within the academic and librarian field.

Empty presence: Library labor, prestige, and the MLS
No full textIn this essay, we explore the relationship between the MLS and professionalization within librarianship broadly and then look more specifically at academic librarianship, which increasingly turns to other means of professionalization, such as more prestigious forms of credentialing, due to its precarious existence within higher education. The emphasis on professionalization through credentialing invisibilizes library labor, which is already feminized and devalued. Academic librarianship instead seeks to gain prestige and power by associating itself with whiteness and masculinity, rendering its specialized work and knowledge domain unimportant. Removing the MLS requirement from professional library positions will not address these broader issues, and as hiring trends demonstrate, might already be a moot point. Prestige, professionalization, and credentialing within academic librarianship have been debated since the inception of the profession; the interaction of these with gender ideologies and a predominantly female workforce has received attention since the 1970s. Librarianship's constant state of crisis and search for external markers of prestige can only exist comfortably outside of historical memory and critical analysis, however. This essay problematizes individual solutions such as credentialing that paper over systemic sociopolitical issues; specific solutions are beyond the scope of this paper, but we do suggest that solutions need to account for broader context, such as current and historical gender ideologies.Embargoed Restriction set for Item 113623 on 2020-02-03T18:25:31Z with date 2021-12-31 by [email protected] by Fernanda Schaefer ([email protected]) on 2020-02-03T18:27:52Z
