crl-24336	Saunders, Laura	Core Knowledge and Specialized Skills in Academic Libraries	2020-03-05	24	.pdf	application/pdf	8705	331	32	This suggests that some skills, such as describing information sources, metadata creation and management, and knowledge management are more likely to be considered core skills in settings other than academic libraries. These results align with earlier studies in which library directors identified instruction services as their top priority and predicted the most growth in positions related to teaching and research support, specifically instruction, instructional design, information literacy, and faculty research support.15 Indeed, in each survey since Ithaka began these studies in 2010, more than 90 percent of academic library directors have rated the statement that “the library helps undergraduates develop research, critical analysis, and information literacy skills” as important, and it is the most highly rated function in terms of importance for baccalaureate, master, and doctoral institutions.	cache/crl-24336.pdf	txt/crl-24336.txt
