Libraries have existed for millennia, but today the library field is searching for solid footing in an increasingly fragmented and digital information environment. What is librarianship when it is unmoored from cataloguing, books, buildings and committees? This guide describes a new librarianship based on knowledge and learning and suggests a new mission to improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in communities. To help librarians navigate this new terrain, this title offers a map, a visual representation of the field that can guide explorations of it.
