Framing Librarianship in the Academy: An Analysis Using Bolman and Deal's Model of Organizations This project takes a new approach to this effort by using Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal's "Four Frames" model to analyze the issues. To more closely examine the dynamics, tensions, and implications associated with librarians' professional status within the academy, we discuss the role of the academic librarian in the context of each of Bolman and Deal's frames: Structural, Human Resource, Political, and Symbolic. In this discussion, we demonstrate that librarians are positioned to address human resource (as defined by Bolman and Deal), political, and symbolic factors contributing to their status within the academy.
