The industry-wide effort to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices into the LIS field opens a wider conversation for fostering cultural humility in LIS work. Cultural humility, a necessary aspect of DEI, cannot be achieved by approaching non-Western cultures through Western assumptions of the world when these assumptions perpetuate the mystification, alienation, and invalidation of non-Western cultural knowledge and expression—especially those that center metaphysical or spiritual aspects in their knowledge systems. Unless disrupted, this limitation of current DEI initiatives will further invalidate cultural practices, identity, and Indigenous Systems of Knowledge, leading to whitewashed representations of culture within collections, reference services, programming, and other library systems. This paper discusses spiritual competency as a prerequisite to cultural humility, the harm caused by its absence, as well as the tools and frameworks that, when practiced, can create spiritual competency.

Abstract The use of government information in an online environment is vital to citizens and researchers. Trust in the validity of digital government information is a key issue. As agencies make digital government publications available online, preservation of those documents for future generations is an important access component. Online government information does not always guarantee equal access for all. The following articles examine these issues and more concerning government information.

Abstract A library’s single most important principle is human engagement. Design is a necessary component for libraries to stay relevant with a willingness to learn and engage. This article details what it means to design, to think like a designer, and features transferable job skills to design. Design in libraries is emphasized in traditional and nontraditional forms. Practical applications also highlight the necessity for tutorials and design tools. A library that does not engage in design is a library that deteriorates for lack of organized function and human connection.

Abstract Biology students must develop a foundational understanding about the role information plays in the scientific research process. Key to this is understanding that original research articles are the primary method of communicating findings from original scientific research. We analyzed data from an information literacy tutorial and worksheet integrated in a core undergraduate biology course to investigate how students identify original research articles. Our results suggest that students conceptually comprehend original research, but they need practice at identifying original research articles in real time and benefit from librarian feedback when they are actively searching for and selecting articles.

Abstract Virtual Reality is commonly thought of as new technology. However, technology by its very nature is always changing. When technology advances, many systems can be left behind, this includes virtual reality. This paper focuses on discontinued virtual reality systems and how the technology has changed in recent years.

Abstract This study sought to determine what medical emergency resources and training are provided in U.S. public and academic libraries, how public versus academic preparedness compares, and what reasons may contribute to decisions against adoption. Survey responses from 65 libraries were analyzed regarding availability of, plans to acquire, or reasons for not acquiring five interventions—automatic electronic defibrillators (AEDs), naloxone, epinephrine, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, and mental health crisis training. Findings showed that these interventions were not necessarily common—41.5% of respondents offered zero of the five interventions, while the most common, AED, was available in 52.3% of libraries. AEDs and epinephrine were somewhat more common in academic libraries, but naloxone, CPR training, and mental health crisis training were more common in public libraries. Primary reasons for not adopting medical interventions included alternative emergency response options, cost, concerns regarding legal liability, and the sense that this is outside the scope of a library’s duties. Implications and considerations for library planning are discussed.
