deconstructing de-professionalization of academic librarianship?

Is it possible or worthwhile to attempt to meaningfully deconstruct the movement towards the de-professionalization of academic librarianship? I have certainly been attempting to at a facile level, mentioning neoliberalism as a driver along with the changing face of LIS and the resulting polarization of positions in the library, among others. But where do we go from here?

I suspect it may be worth stepping back and taking a look and the values and ethics driving each side and answering the question: Is there conflict at such a basic level? There are values/ethics and upon these we build a concept of professionalism with activities in support of those values and ethics? Is the argument not that proponents (whether conscious of unconsciously) are making inroads into our values but instead are making inroads into our professionalism/the activities by which we define our professionalism? A mix of both? Inseparable?

I attempted to find a list of values and ethics supported by and specific to academic librarians. I must have the wrong end of the stick because my google searches kept pulling up the value of academic libraries! So where are the much ballyhooed values/ethics academic librarians consider sacrosanct? The search for profession and academic librarians certainly pulls up more relevant results re: professionalism. And what about discussion(s) re: what the point of academic libraries are? It is probably safe to say there is a growing disjunct there between librarian "values" and the presence of neoliberalism at the admin level.

But to go back to values/ethics for now. Does anyone know of a list for academic librarians? ALA provides a Core Values of Librarianship for all librarians, listing Access; Confidentiality/Privacy; Democracy; Diversity; Education and Lifelong Learning;  Intellectual Freedom; Preservation; The Public Good; Professionalism; Service, and ; Social Responsibility. These do not specifically address the academic context as Access would be limited by membership at an academic institution with an attempt at licencing for onsite users...except academic libraries are now more than ever requiring login for their onsite computers. Core values tend to be qualified by the context within which one operates, so these ALA values are by no means Platonic or archetypal once context comes into play. It is that contextual list of academic values I have not located to date re: academic libraries. Citation anyone?

And to jump back to professionalism: Penni Stewart's article in the Vol. 56 (10) 2009 CAUT Bulletin speaks of academic librarians under attack, mentioning deskilling (downgraded, divided into narrow technical areas, work transferred elsewhere), eliminating or freezing jobs, acquiring and preserving disappearing as an activity (along with its corollary Access), specialized expertise in a subject area being devalued with an accompanying emphasis on generic skills, greater control over everyday decisions, more bureaucracy over librarian activities (and outcomes) with greater oversight of research and scholarly work and even professional development, with an accompanying decrease in academic freedom.

Perhaps instead of trying to identify values specific to academic libraries, that I haven't found but assumed existed, I should just be addressing points of conflict to identify whether these conflicts are value-ridden or activity driven?
