- Summary:
- This collection of essays explores the impact of neoliberal values on academic librarianship in Canada, particularly in the post-COVID era. The authors examine how corporate priorities have reshaped academic libraries, affecting teaching, research, and professional rights. Topics include the erosion of scholarly traditions, gendered inequities in librarian job postings, the prioritization of e-resources over print collections, and the dismissal of librarians' pedagogical roles. The volume provides critical perspectives on the challenges faced by academic librarians in navigating technocratic environments while resisting corporate restructuring and performance metrics.
