Abstract The study investigated the willingness of students to remotely tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries and the associated challenges. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The sample included 245 Adeleke University undergraduates. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that most patrons rarely use podcasts, with Spotify being the most popular among students. Students indicated that the campus news and information programme, library seminars, and user education would be their top choices for frequent listening. Students may be discouraged from utilizing library podcast programmes due to issues with internet access, a lack of finances to obtain data, and a time constraint. The study concluded that podcasts had potential for distant learners and that students would be ready to tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries, and therefore recommended that libraries in Nigeria begin to employ podcasts in airing library programmes and marketing library services.

Abstract Off-campus access provides seamless and reliable access to licensed resources of libraries to multiple users, anywhere and anytime simultanously. Using a purposive sampling design, one hundred and forty-two postgraduate students were selected during information literacy training sessions to participate in this study. This study used a structured questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The study results revealed that the students are aware of the remote access facility. Many respondents were accessing the off-campus access facility from their homes and offices. Some recommendations were made to encourage the use of the remote access facility.

Abstract "is facebook down" trended on Google on October 4, 2021, when Facebook became temporarily globally unavailable. Web users proactively seek information when they encounter issues online. System status dashboards are one way libraries can leverage this behavior to share changes to resources or services and improve transparency, reference services, and the user experience. The University at Albany Libraries Discovery Services Librarian and User Experience Librarian implemented Springshare’s System Status Management tool to share system statuses with library staff and the campus community. The institutional context, implementation, and impact are described in this article. The authors reviewed Association of Research Libraries members’ library websites to investigate if and how system statuses are being used to communicate with patrons. Results indicate that the majority of libraries reviewed do not employ a dedicated system status dashboard to share information with their constituents, but may use other types of alerts instead.

Abstract This paper focuses on how one university library embarked on a journey to provide information literacy instruction when a change in curriculum altered the library’s role in a first-term research methods course. Enter the Scholarly Skills Community: a virtual learning landscape, consisting of more than 20 modules designed to fill gaps in information literacy and research skills. Embedded into the university’s learning management system, the Scholarly Skills Community is an interactive, asynchronous destination for users to cultivate new knowledge and earn micro-credentials on topics related to information literacy and scholarly writing.

Abstract Reading resources are essential for teaching and learning. Today’s students and instructors are used to the Learning Management System (LMS) for teaching and learning. Within the general LMS trend, a variety of electronic course reserves tools have emerged. One particular tool is Leganto which has been increasingly widely deployed, particularly in the wake of COVID-19. This article adopts the Educause reporting model of teaching and learning technologies best practices of “7 things You Should Know About.” The article also presents the authors’ institutional case of adoption, implementation, and data analytics results at Purdue University.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic required many U.S. institutions of higher education to pivot to fully remote learning within a short span of time. Like many academic librarians during this period, the authors found themselves needing to employ rapid development methods to create information literacy instruction that could serve what was quite suddenly a fully online environment, an experience that proved instructive for ongoing online information literacy programs. This article reviews the literature detailing other librarians’ experiences moving their information literacy instruction online during the pandemic, and compares these to the authors’ process of developing online instruction at a large university in the northeastern United States. Multiple perspectives on the authors’ process are described by different participants in this collaborative effort. Lessons learned and recommendations for future practice are described.

Abstract When creating information literacy instruction for distance learners; location, preferred use, technological skills, availability of online resources, and confidence in information-seeking skills and behaviors factor into providing service. This study established areas in which online, traditional, and hybrid nursing students displayed confidence and identified places where students might be weaker in their understanding of how to use library services. The objective was to create pedagogical opportunities whereby students could gain information literacy skills using the Association of College and Research Libraries Framework. These skills will strengthen students’ understanding the use of and access to library resources, regardless of location.

Abstract Research surrounding library anxiety is plentiful; however, few studies have focused on distance or online learners and library anxiety. This article provides an overview of the construct library anxiety within distance learners and how library anxiety may impact their usage of academic library resources and services. First, it will explore library anxiety, its definition, library anxiety theories, models, research, development and validation of library anxiety scales, as well as prevention and reduction strategies. Second, this article will explore studies concerning distance and online learners within academic libraries and library anxiety and strategies for minimizing it. Finally, this article will offer additional areas for future research.

Abstract The pandemic and resulting shift to remote work stressed the importance of distance library services. As librarians explored different modes of engagement, embedded librarianship became increasingly important but also more complicated than before. While there is a wealth of literature on embedded librarianship, few authors agree on how to define it or discuss its specific challenges during the pandemic. This paper will present the experiences of two academic librarians working in different departments at the same institution, informed by the literature; the authors will highlight the complexity of embedded librarianship during this unique time while addressing challenges and offering recommendations.

Abstract Universities have been spending money on the acquisition of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enable online library research support platforms. Such acquisitions can be justified if they are effectively utilized for what they are intended for. A quantitative research approach was employed in the study to investigate the use of online research support platforms among undergraduate students at a university in Ghana. The results suggest that, even though there are online library research support platforms available for use, they are underutilized by undergraduates. The recommendation based on the results is that the university’s library should consider new ways of creating awareness to encourage the use of online library research support platforms.
