Abstract

What does it mean to be a professional librarian and information scientist in Greece? What does it mean to be a professional music librarian and information scientist in Greece? It is questionable whether library patrons or music library patrons even now in the 21st century can actually comprehend what librarians do and why they are an important and vital asset for the promotion and preservation of all types of knowledge within the Internet era. Taking under consideration the low budgets of the Greek library sector as a whole, leading to understaffing and unemployment, as well as, the lack of  educational preparation emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of the profession and the violation of professional rights, it is imperative to advocate for the value of the profession in society and suggest ways to avoid the inevitable dead end. The shift of the profession from the humanist perspective to a more social-technical and so much more, perspective, necessitates the concurrent change and shift of the core of the library and information science-related education to a much more solid theoretical as well as technical knowledge of the profession in its wholeness.  In this paper we will discuss the current status of librarians in Greece, focusing on music librarians, why it matters for societies that librarians are seen as professionals and the efforts to change the present status quo for the benefit of the music collections and archives and their patrons.
