As the demand for electronic resources librarians increases, there is an expectation that graduate programs and continuing education will supply librarians with the appropriate qualifications. However, there are no agreed-upon competencies for this specialty. Sarah Sutton is conducting research for her doctoral dissertation to develop a definitive set of core competencies for electronic resources librarianship. She discussed using the position requirements in job advertisements as a way to learn what competencies employers are seeking in prospective applicants.
