- Sociologist's role inside social and health professions is strictly connected to his/her sociological commitment or intervention. The dilemma is, as many have highlighted, the integration and the distance between humanist empathy and axiological neutrality. The aim of this article is to compare the sociologist's involvement and the specificity of its object, verifying if that commitment affects the social configuration of its object.Key words: professional, involvement, social work, care work, sociology of work, neutrality.Parole chiave: professione, coinvolgimento, lavoro sociale, lavoro di cura, sociologia del lavoro, neutralitÀ.

By design or not, most librarians restrict their professional organization involvement to professional librarian organizations. Limiting professional involvement to only library related organizations will not provide the depth of professional knowledge that today's librarian needs to have in order to keep up with the requirements of the profession. Library budgets and funding have been slashed due to economic downturns, and patrons are turning to libraries for assistance with a variety of concerns that libraries did not have to address in previous times. Reaching beyond the scope of the profession, librarians can broaden their knowledge base and use that broader knowledge base to benefit their patrons and communities.
