Rita Reinsel Soulen – Knowledge Quest, 2023
In this article, the author examines how libraries have evolved and argues that they have not fundamentally changed.

Burkholder, Joel M.; Phillips, Kat – Journal of Information Literacy, 2022
What is bias? A review of the library literature reveals no attempts to define the concept.

The library one-shot is common in academic libraries, though not universally loved by academic librarians.

Baer, Andrea – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2021
As librarians' instructional roles continue to evolve, metaphor can be a powerful tool through which to reflect on and at times to reframe librarians' evolving educational roles and pedagogical approaches, as they consider beliefs and assumptions about teaching and learning and about their unfolding work and identities. This article explores this…

Brittany Fleming – Knowledge Quest, 2024
According to the author, we are all creators and consumers of media. Technology has made it easy to copy, paste, and transfer anything educators might want to use in their classrooms. As educators, school librarians have an obligation to honor the law and be the role models that learners and other staff members need them to be. So many times the…

Andrea Baer – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2023
This essay explores the tension between pursuing meaningful work in instruction librarianship and the realities of working in a society in which many jobs provide little fulfillment or pleasure, or, as the journalist Sarah Jaffe puts it, "Work won't love you back." Drawing on a recent conference keynote by Anne Helen Petersen, C. Wright…

Nicholson, Karen P.; Seale, Maura – College & Research Libraries, 2022
This essay examines the information literacy one-shot in conjunction with similar one-off training approaches often found in diversity education. Through this lens, we interrogate the ways that superficial approaches to complex issues such as mis- or disinformation and racism inhibit the kinds of engagement and (un)learning that transformative…
