摘要

Though research into academic library director leadership has established leadership skills and qualities required for success, little research has been done to establish where in their career library directors were most likely to acquire those skills and qualities. This research project surveyed academic library directors at Carnegie-designated Master’s granting institutions about their previous library positions, and what skills and qualities they perceived to have exercised in those positions. Five research questions were assessed. RQ1: Which of the respondents’ last five positions previous to the directorship are most often represented in the path to the academic library directorship? RQ2: Which of the previous positions held by the respondents are perceived to have helped prepare directors the most for the qualities and skills required of the position? RQ3: Is the perception of library leadership skill and quality development equal across departmental experience? RQ4: What, if any position(s), appear to be the “gatekeepers” for academic librarian skill and competency development? RQ5: What are the skills most commonly perceived to be used in each department? Findings revealed that respondents perceived there to be great opportunities to exercise leadership qualities in previous positions, but few opportunities to develop more empirically measurable leadership skills. In addition, respondents perceived those skill development opportunities to be available only once working in the position of library director or in the Administration department of academic libraries.

RQ2:被认为担任受访者的先前哪个职位最有助于为董事准备该职位所需的素质和技能? RQ3:图书馆领导技能和质量发展的看法在各部门经验中是否相等? RQ4:哪些职位(如果有的话)似乎是学术图书馆员技能和能力发展的“守门人”? RQ5:每个部门最常使用的技能是什么?调查结果显示,受访者认为在以前的职位中有很大的机会行使领导才能,但很少有机会发展经验上可衡量的领导技能。此外,受访者认为,只有在担任图书馆馆长或大学图书馆行政部门的工作后,这些技能开发机会才能提供。
