Abstract Public libraries are increasingly becoming affected by invasive and disruptive technology, changing customer requirements, and other information sources that provide comparable library services. The dilemma of public libraries is clear, as seen by falling government financing and patronage. In order to maintain their position in the face of intense competition, they must react promptly. Librarians will not be able to properly prepare for the future or position themselves unless they strengthen their stance in the information competition by cooperating and competing simultaneously. To remain relevant, librarians must re-strategize and consider how to deliver services using smart technologies. The article suggests that it is expedient for public libraries to adopt coopetition to survive amidst fierce competing service models from the tech industry.

Abstract This article describes and discusses the Biblionetwork peer mentoring program. This initiative was created with the aim of helping those who work in libraries to develop professional networks and expand their knowledge in librarianship, through mutual and collaborative learning. The methodology consisted of a round of long-distance conversation between professionals who were paired by affinity, bridging the gap and favoring openness to new realities and opportunities. This dynamic allowed, through peer mentoring, the development of professional relationships outside their own context without the costs of travel and less time constrains. The requirements included to have an Internet connection and the willingness to participate in the process with an open mind. This experience was based in part on the format of the International Librarians Network (ILN) and in this first stage it was carried out at the national level, for Spanish speakers, between the months of May and August 2020.

Abstract The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries created a 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge to encourage library staff to make critical connections between racism and equity and the work of libraries and archives. Participants engaged with one or more resources each day in this habit-forming challenge with library-wide discussions and racial identity caucusing augmenting the Challenge. In this brief article, two creators of the Challenge reflect on the development and implementation process and plans for a future iteration.

Abstract Libraries serve an important role in accessing information, delivering services, and fostering a sense of community. Libraries must ask whether they are serving all of their community members equitably. People with disabilities need to be able to access the libraries fully. This article first provides an overview of accessibility-related legislative history in the US, Canada and Ontario, and Australia to contextualize its impact on services to people with disabilities. The medical and social models of disability are explored. Lastly, an overview of the history of libraries and accessibility cements the moral, ethical, and legal reasons to serve people with disabilities.

Abstract Modeling information seeking behavior was started in the early 1980s pioneered by Wilson. More than 70 models in the last four decades on information seeking behavior have emerged. The models delineate the concepts from cognate subjects such as psychology and sociology. The authors made an analytical study of these models and identified many concepts of library and information science (LIS); from information processing and retrieval, reference service case studies and the evaluation experiments of information retrieval systems intrinsically are hidden in these models that have not been explicitly expounded as part of information seeking traits. The Chain Indexing devised by Ranganathan has an inclusive concept into information seeking with the phrase "Sought Link" to select the relevant subject heading(s) derived from the document(s) for indexing and to assign as the sought term(s) in the subject catalogue. Lancaster in the evaluation of MEDLARS identified phrases; serendipity and novelty ratio in response to users queries to the system. The paper after an in depth study of these ideas and with an analytical review of the models implies many of the classical concepts from LIS are implicit-in information seeking patterns of users. The paper conjures up to investigate them in the models of information seeking behavior as pragmatic rather only on user perceptions.

Abstract The Niger Delta is a densely populated, grossly riverine terrain with people of diverse cultures and subsistence. Library services are expected to bridge the gap in access to information created by geographical barriers, and the lack of technological/digital infrastructure in rural areas to improve information literacy skillset of the locals. This study ascertains the functionality (as in the provision of information services) of the public libraries in rural areas where local patrons are supposed to enjoy undeterred library services. In conducting the study, the survey design was adopted, a questionnaire constructed and 115 library staff was drawn as sample. Based on the perception of library staff, results showed a poor state of preservation of information resources, with an apparent inadequacy. There were indications that information services are currently under-utilized by patrons based on the observed frequency of patronage. The only services offered in abundance were book borrowing and support for school reading programs. Little or no substantial career information counseling/guidance, information support for skill acquisition, Internet, e-books and agricultural extension services were offered. This may have allegedly daunted the goal of the public (rural) libraries in this region, the eagerness of locals for a possible nexus with the public libraries and have also impacted their information seeking habits. These events may have been modulated by the lack of adequate Internet facilities coupled with poor reading habits, poor electricity supply and underfunding among others. Useful recommendations like adequate funding, training of staff, how to improve information services and encourage patronage were offered accordingly.

Abstract While fake news has been a common problem for well over a century, the emergence of social media and smartphones has escalated its spread. This study adopts a qualitative approach to explore the readiness of academic librarians in curbing fake news. Data was drawn from interviews with reference library staff and head librarians who were purposively selected from 12 academic libraries and evaluated through the lens of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions [IFLA] guide on ‘how to spot fake news’. The study revealed that although academic librarians were aware of fake news, they do not grasp the complexity and intricacies of the phenomenon. Therefore, the study recommends regular on-the-job training for academic librarians in identifying fake news. The Library and Information Science departments of universities in Ghana should review their curriculum to include training and education on problematic information. There should be collaboration between libraries and social media organization on curbing fake news. We support the call for information literacy, critical thinking and media literacy instructions to be embedded in all subjects with academic librarians as co-instructors.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and job performance of librarian’s in university libraries in Nigeria. There seems to be a gap in literature on the actual level of self-efficacy of librarians and job performance. The survey research design of the correlational type was adopted for the study. Total enumeration method was used to cover all the 364 librarians in university librarians in south-west, Nigeria. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire titled: Self-efficacy and Job Performance of Librarian’s Scale (SEJPLS). The instruments were validated using construct and face validity. Cronbach’s alpha test was used to determine the reliability of the main constructs. Level of self-efficacy α = 0.668 and level of job performance α = 0.973. A total of 277 copies of the questionnaire (76.1%) were returned. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for analyzed. The findings showed that self-efficacy of librarians was rated high (68.4%) while verbal/social persuasion was the most exhibited source of self-efficacy among librarians (mean = 11.5). finally, there was no significant relationship between self-efficacy and job performance (r = 0.04, p › .05). the study, concluded that even though there is a positive relationship between self-efficacy (r = .039) and job performance of librarians. There was no significant association of librarians’ self-efficacy and their job performance. It is, therefore, recommended that institutional support is critical for effective job performance among librarians.
