Abstract
Professional identities shape the way the members of a profession interact with their clients and society. As librarians are service-oriented professionals, a discursively informed understanding of identity can provide a new way to examine identity and expose the ways it impacts and informs how librarians interact with their clients and society at large.L’identité professionnelle façonne la manière qu’a une profession d’interagir avec sa clientèle et la société. Les bibliothécaires étant des professionnels axés sur le service, une compréhension discursive de leur identité peut fournir une façon nouvelle d’examiner l’identité et d’exposer comment les bibliothécaires interagissent avec leurs clients et la société dans son ensemble.
