Stakes in the stacks: Library buildings and librarians' professional identities.
Barlow, Rachael Elizabeth.

Stakes in the stacks: Library buildings and librarians' professional identities. - 354 p.

Adviser: Thomas F. Gieryn.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2008.

How has the design of academic libraries changed over time in response to new technologies and morphing definitions of librarianship? How does the materiality of library buildings shape librarians' interpretations of their professional roles, privileges, and power? How do librarians use their buildings (potential or real) as tools to describe themselves as professionals? As new libraries replace old ones or as old libraries receive new additions and internal rearrangements, how do librarians use their engagement with these sites to reconceive and describe their tasks, their expertise, and their relationships with the people they serve?

520 $a How has the design of academic libraries changed over time in response to new technologies and morphing definitions of librarianship? How does the materiality of library buildings shape librarians' interpretations of their professional roles, privileges, and power? How do librarians use their buildings (potential or real) as tools to describe themselves as professionals? As new libraries replace old ones or as old libraries receive new additions and internal rearrangements, how do librarians use their engagement with these sites to reconceive and describe their tasks, their expertise, and their relationships with the people they serve?
520 $a To answer these questions, I conduct a case study of three library buildings---Wesleyan University's Olin Library, Princeton University's Firestone Library, and the Trinity College Library---and the librarians who have worked in them and who work in the now. These libraries vary in terms of their structural design: Wesleyan was built before the post-World War II "modular" era, Firestone was built during it and Trinity after. When these buildings were built, as well as the timing of subsequent additions, has much to do with how the librarians who work in them think about their professional roles. The data come from in-depth interviews with twenty-nine librarians, as well as archival materials. I tell three stories, each about the most compelling problem with building design that librarians in each library have faced. My argument is that these "architectural events" illustrate how library buildings both provide opportunities for librarians to assert their professional status as well as block their ability to do so.
