Join us for an engaging exploration into the pivotal role of library professionals in academia at our Community of Practice event, "Third Space but First Class: Are Library Professionals and Their Skills Perceived as Being Integral to the Success of Universities?" In today's educational landscape, libraries have evolved into dynamic hubs where students and faculty converge for knowledge creation and collaboration. However, the recognition of library professionals and their diverse skill sets remains a question mark. Through interactive discussions and case studies, we'll delve into perceptions surrounding library professionals, from their expertise in information literacy instruction to their support of cutting-edge research. Together, we'll uncover strategies to elevate the visibility and value of library professionals, ensuring that the library remains not just a third space, but a first-class resource driving the success of universities.
