ABSTRACT
Library workplaces are where library and information services professional practice is applied and where it evolved. The library workforce is critical to that application and evolution. In the 21st century, perhaps more so than ever before, there are many challenges facing both those that work in libraries and those who lead and manage library workplace—be they small, medium, or large. This article overviews selected workforce research, discusses some current and emerging trends, and suggests a framework through which to view workplace and workforce issues.
