Abstract Faculty status for academic librarians has historically presented controversies for librarianship and higher education. This paper explores these dilemmas and details the responsibilities and qualifications that go along with faculty status, arguing for a clearly defined profession of academic librarianship and librarian’s faculty status in higher education.

Abstract Freely-available citation tools are popular with students because of their speed and convenience. Some offer the ability to copy and paste a URL and some only allow for manual entry of citation elements. This article offers an overview of the current landscape of freely-available online citation tools and some of the positives and negatives of each. Almost all of the citations these tools create require some editing in order to comply with the style guidelines used in academic writing but they are generally a useful resource for students.

Abstract Veterans and first-generation college students are two types of nontraditional students that academic librarians should consider as underserved populations. Understanding the needs and issues of students in these populations can lead to strategies that can increase information literacy and retention rates. The following articles contain studies and outreach efforts that can benefit students in these nontraditional roles.

cern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their knowledge and expertise in this area by interacting on an ongoing basis” (p. vii). Without question, many academic librarians share a set of concerns, problems, and passions that may serve as the basis for a productive and professionally supportive Community of Practice (CoP), and in this brief, nine-chapter book, Reale takes the reader through the strategies necessary to create a successful CoP. Reale uses her own efforts to establish a CoP at her library as a framing device and describes her initial failure to get a CoP off the ground. In fact, throughout the book, Reale does not shy away from sharing her own struggles both in establishing the CoP and those false starts or misunderstandings that occurred once one was in operation. Reale’s tone is conversational, and at times it feels as though she’s confiding as a good friend might. However, she also offers a great deal of theoretical background to the principles and structures supporting CoPs, which will supply readers with a deeper understanding of the intentional work that will be required to implement a CoP. Each chapter provides ample references to scholarship on such related topics as learning styles, sense of belonging, community building, collaborative conversations, storytelling, and transformative learning. Additionally, each chapter includes a summary section and a “Points to Ponder.” The latter gives the reader not just things to think about but also things to discuss or do during CoP meetings. In Chapter 8, Reale unpacks “appreciative inquiry,” explaining its applications for librarians and highlighting the “5-D Cycle,” which has such clear application for CoPs. While some of this chapter repeats earlier content, this and the final chapter will be ones that members of a CoP will want to return to again and again. In Chapter 9, Reale, whose 2017 monograph was titled Becoming a Reflective Librarian and Teacher: Strategies for Mindful Academic Practice, makes a strong case for why mindfulness techniques for individual practice are foundational for the implementation of a CoP. By the end of this book, the reader will understand that each individual and the CoP will benefit most when the community comprises individuals who bring their best selves to the community. This book concludes with Reale saying she hoped that her guide to CoPs was less of a manual and more of a “hopeful and generative guide to being in a problem-solving community” (p. 96). Reale has written a work that actually succeeds admirably at being both a practical manual and a positive inspiration to librarians.

Abstract Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) be used for good in the academic and creative worlds? This is a question that is being asked by educators who are concerned about student learning and academic integrity AI use in higher education. Numerous articles decry the potential of college students using AI to cheat on exam questions, discussion board posts, and research papers. Yet, through the use of language learning models (LLM), AI may be used as a tool to increase efficiency, perform repetitive tasks, and aid with research and analysis. It is through the lens of AI as a tool, not as a concern or replacement of human involvement, that the authors examined Elicit.org, a literature review search tool that uses LLM to aid the research process.

Abstract Keeping up with the cultural references, slang, and habits of college students can feel like a daunting task, but doing so is vital for any library to reach and engage with this audience. When done well in academic libraries, this practice humanizes the library, mitigates library anxiety, increases buzz about the library, and illustrates the library as a welcoming space for all. Most important, actively working to remain relevant with the current and upcoming generations of students helps libraries meet their students where they are, supporting them holistically to ensure their success in and beyond college.
