Abstract: Extracted text; Paper presents a preliminary analysis of survey research designed to elicit information about Millennial academic librarians, their most valued colleagues at work, and reasons why they value these colleagues, and compares the results to earlier findings reported by Munde and Coonin in “Cross-Generational Valuing Among Peer Academic Librarians.” This earlier study (2012) attempted to address a gap in the empirical research concerning generational roles in the academic library workforce, particularly with regard to Millennials. The number of responses from Millennial generation librarians to the survey created for the earlier baseline study was relatively small, and findings from the earlier study suggested additional research questions, so a follow-up study (2014) aimed at a larger pool was designed and undertaken.
