ABSTRACT When it comes to updating information literacy modules, it can be a daunting task to know where to start. This article will explore utilizing the Association of College & Research Libraries’ Information Literacy Framework to identify skill gaps in the modules, create learner-centered experiences, and incorporate twenty-first-century literacy skills.

ABSTRACT Ideally students have interest and motivation to learn what librarians teach, but some students need external inducements. Educational psychologists have made extensive investigations into the best types of rewards to motivate students to perform as desired. Behaviorists’ programmed learning, token economies, and other types of contingencies have had some success. However, external rewards may undermine intrinsic motivation. The debate over the undermining effect and how to avoid it are presented along with costs and benefits of offering students choices in what they learn. Suggestions are offered for how to motivate students to be competent rather than to outperform others.

ABSTRACT The rampant spread of misinformation has made it more difficult for many people, especially college students, to ascertain what is a viable and reliable piece of information and vice versa. This trend makes it even more difficult for them to produce effective essays and research papers in their courses. Librarians at Indian River State College (IRSC) have been piloting a program that incorporates news literacy into the learning management system utilized by IRSC in an effort to increase students’ ability to determine what are correct information, erroneous information, and “fake news.”

As proven authorities on information literacy, librarians are well positioned to lead learners through a politically and digitally polarized environment and advocate for the development of digital citizenship. In October 2017, the Florida Chapter of the Association of College and Research Librarians (FACRL) hosted its annual conference and engaged attendees in conversations to explore digital literacy in higher education and investigate the library’s responsibility to lead the charge toward the creation of learners with the requisite skills to engage critically and ethically with information in an open knowledge society. The 2017 FACRL Annual Conference featured nine innovative and engaging presentations and posters that challenged the popular reference to fake news and illuminated corresponding opportunities for libraries and librarians to champion digital literacy initiatives at their respective institutions of higher education. In this issue of The Reference Librarian, we are pleased to feature articles from four of our distinguished presenters. Librarians Mia Tignor and Angie Neely-Sardon from Indian River State College present a model for academic libraries seeking to develop news and information literacy skills in their article, “Focus on the facts: a news and information literacy instructional program.” In addition, Tignor and Neely-Sardon highlight the librarian as the source evaluation expert contributing to the discussion of the librarian as central to digital literacy initiatives in institutions of higher education. Author Sonnet Ireland explores the use of social media memes to teach information literacy in the article, “Fake news alerts: teaching news literacy skills in a meme world,” highlighting innovative techniques to engage students in the important discussion surrounding digital citizenship. Amanda Closier shares strategies from the Open University (UK) to assist distance learning students in the development of digital and information literacy skills in the article, “Walking the talk: using digital media to develop distance learners’ digital citizenship at the Open University (UK).” Finally, authors Christopher Jordan, Victor Lawrence, and Cristy Moran collaborate to showcase media literacy and social justice initiatives at the North Regional/Broward College (NR/BC) Library, a joint use facility. The article “Experience from the field: programming in a joint-use partnership library” provides tips on collaborations in and outside joint-use libraries and contributes to the discussion on media literacy programming in joint-use libraries. Future issues of The Reference Librarian will also feature several pieces originally given at the 2017 FACRL Annual Conference providing additional insights and showcasing digital literacy initiatives designed to position the academic library as a champion of digital citizenship in higher education.

ABSTRACT Student participation in class is an important step in preparation for the communication skills needed in reference services. Participation involvement and assessment should extend beyond mere classroom attendance. Course syllabi should clearly state how participation is defined and what is expected of students. This article discusses the role of participation and provides an example of one way to assess and encourage such participation.

ABSTRACT A good citation and referencing practice starts when a student correctly cites and follows the specified citation format. Academic integrity is closely associated with plagiarism but there is another particular error that academics neglect to verify: the proper formatting of a reference list based on a particular citation style. The purpose of the study is to trace, review and analyze the reference list of selected master’s theses submitted to one of the leading universities in Kazakhstan. Results showed a high number of referencing errors. Having a standard format will prevent future mistakes.

ABSTRACT Librarians of the joint-use North Regional/Broward College (NR/BC) Library had sought opportunities to collaborate. Historically, challenges have arisen in programming for two distinct populations: seniors for the public library and the college library’s students. In recent years, the library successfully capitalized on organizational changes and nationwide attention to media literacy and social justice to create and deliver several well-received collaborations. This article describes the environment in which these initiatives developed and provides tips on collaborations in- and out-side joint-use libraries. This article also addresses the dearth of professional literature on programming advantages in joint-use libraries.

ABSTRACT Finding ways to promote students’ online learning performance has always been regarded as a necessity for higher education institutions. In this study, we investigated how certain modes of learning delivery can potentially influence students’ learning. Precisely, the effects of Face-to-Face (F2F), Learning Management System (LMS), and Web-based Learning (WBL) on students’ online learning were examined. A survey questionnaire, distributed to 196 undergraduate students, was used in this study. The use of these modes showed varied effects on the learning outcomes of students. F2F learning mode was found to influence students’ performance in completing online assignments. The result also showed that the use of LMS-based learning mode affects students’ performance in the final exam. These results are believed to provide useful directions for the higher education community to better understand how certain modes of learning delivery can be related to the development of students’ performance in a blended learning environment.

ABSTRACT This article provides an overview of the “fake news” issue and places it in the context of information literacy instruction for college students. In 2017, the faculty librarians at a large state college in Florida developed a news literacy instruction program that included instructional faculty outreach, lesson plans for one-shot information literacy instruction sessions, lessons assignments for one-credit information literacy classes, and learning objects in a LibGuide that can be used by students or embedded by faculty into courses across the disciplines.
