Author

Subjects
Company business management, Business, Library and information science
Abstract

Exam period can be a stressful time for students, and having examples of past papers to help prepare for the tests can be extremely helpful. It is possible that past exams are already shared on your campus--by professors in their specific courses, via student unions or groups, or between individual students. In this article, we will go over the workflows and infrastructure to support the systematic collection, provision of access to, and repository management of past exam papers. We will discuss platform-agnostic considerations of opt-in versus opt-out submission, access restriction, discovery, retention schedules, and more. Finally, we will share the University of Toronto setup, including a dedicated instance of DSpace, batch metadata creation and ingest scripts, and our submission and retention workflows that take into account the varying needs of stakeholders across our three campuses., BACKGROUND The University of Toronto (U of T) is the largest academic institution in Canada. It spans across three campuses and serves more than 90,000 students through its 700 undergraduate [...]

Abstract

In recent years, academic publishing has seen an explosion of works for librarians on information literacy instruction, yet surprisingly few book-length works have emerged presenting instructional design principles from within the field of library and information science (LIS). Melissa A. Wong, an adjunct instructor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate School of Library and Information Science, has sought to fill that gap with a well-organized and informative book presenting both the theoretical context and practical applications of learning theory to the design of library and information science courses. The book is targeted at librarians and information science professionals teaching graduate courses in library and information science; it is thus an important acquisition for those involved in LIS education. In addition, the explanations and descriptions of theories, best practices, and common challenges of teaching more generally, alongside numerous practical examples and helpful reading suggestions, make this book extremely valuable as an instructional design textbook or reference resource for graduate students or early-career instruction librarians. What is more, Instructional Design for LIS Professionals gives equal attention to the design of online and in-person instruction, which makes the text an important addition to the extant instructional design literature geared toward librarians, which has tended to focus more heavily on in-person modalities.

Abstract

Comics and Critical Librarianship: Reframing the Narrative in Academic Libraries looks at comics librarianship in the context of critical librarianship. Piepmeier and Grimm describe critical librarianship as something that “comes from an intentional engagement with the political and social dimensions of libraries and librarianship, including ideas of neutrality, authorship and authority, and the histories of censorship and affirming cultural divides within our own professions” (4). The chapters held in this important book identify conversations in comics librarianship that are lacking when it comes to collection management and organization, outreach, instruction, how language and classification can affect how comics are seen in academia, and more. The authors contribute needed information to the conversation. This book is a timely and essential addition to academic library literature. The book is split into five distinct sections: the basics, collecting, organizing, teaching, and reaching.
