The document discusses the changing roles of librarians from solely providing instruction to acting as navigators and negotiators. It provides examples of common situations librarians may encounter, such as receiving last minute requests for instruction, helping students with research problems, proposing changes based on user behavior observations, and assisting colleagues. The ideal librarian is described as being flexible, student-focused, and viewing information literacy as more than just classroom teaching.

- 5. 8:00 AM It’s the first week of class, and an instructor calls you with the following request: “ I need a library session for my 50 first-year writing students tomorrow morning. They need to learn how to search JSTOR, search the catalog, find primary sources, and do MLA citations. They also need to get a basic orientation to the library. We have half an hour.” What would you do?
- 7. 10:00 AM You’re working reference, and a student asks where she can find the print journals for sports medicine. You ask if she’s looking for a specific article, and she tells you that her assignment requires her to have a print copy of any recent journal article on sports science, and she’s “not allowed to use the Internet.” All the sports science journals are received electronically – and have been so for the past 6 years. Her assignment is due tomorrow. What would you do?
- 9. 2:00 PM You’re at a library-wide meeting about proposed changes to the library’s home page. You're concerned because, according to your observations of students’ information-seeking behavior, the changes seem like they will create confusion among users. What would you do?
- 11. 4:00 PM A librarian colleague calls you and says, “Help! I have a class coming up soon and I need some fresh ideas for teaching!” What would you do?
