Abstract

abstract:The abundance of library associations provides many choices to academic librarians about where and how to belong. This exploratory article identifies and compares benefits of library professional organizations through content analysis of the groups' websites. Examination of the benefits described on the websites of 76 organizations indicates that they have a high degree of overlap. Many benefits are also achievable by participating in other external professional activities. While data were collected just prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, thematic analysis of these benefits provides a framework for comparing the value of participation in formal and informal professional communities.

归属的价值:专业组织会员利益的比较
摘要:丰富的图书馆协会为高校图书馆员的归属和归属方式提供了多种选择。这篇探索性的文章通过对图书馆专业组织网站的内容分析,确定并比较了这些组织的利益。对76个组织网站上所描述的福利进行的检查表明,它们有高度重叠。通过参加其他外部专业活动也可以获得许多好处。虽然数据是在COVID-19大流行开始之前收集的,但对这些惠益的专题分析为比较参与正式和非正式专业社区的价值提供了一个框架。
