Book Review: In Solidarity: Academic Librarian Labour Activism and Union Activity in Canada

Upon entering the profession, many new academic librarians may find that certain core aspects of the work were not meaningfully highlighted, or perhaps were even overlooked, during their MLIS.One such conspicuous absence, in this reviewer's experience, was the discussion of the role of unions in the profession, and the effect these organizations have on the day-to-day experience of working librarians.With the large majority of professional librarians, particularly in academic positions, working in unionized environments and under the stipulations of a collective bargaining agreement, the importance of this topic should not be understated.
