New technologies enable library staff without a professional degree to perform a number of the duties that once required an MLS. Also, library patrons have new ways of satisfying their information needs and so use the library differently from the past. In light of these changes, much of librarians' work that has been regarded as "professional" is being questioned by administrators and funders of public and academic libraries. The response of many libraries has been to rethink the duties of librarians and paraprofessionals. This session will discuss areas of librarians' work that are being reassessed and will highlight innovative changes some libraries have instituted to realign duties with new definitions of "professional" in the work of librarians.
