Abstract In response to varied needs from Education students, faculty and researchers, UBC librarians and library students repurposed problematic books from Indigenous children’s literature collections into Critical Literacy Kits. By repackaging these problematic books, along with librarian-created learning materials and activity guides, these kits mediate access to problematic books and become a new tool for pedagogy. This article explores the intersection between critical literacy and the development of children’s literature collections in academic libraries, proposing that the creation of kits like this increases the learning potential of problematic books, and prevents the erasure of critical engagement with these materials.

Abstract Children’s and Young Adult books are an anomaly in many academic libraries and their presence is often overlooked or ignored. In particular, the dust jackets and other paratextual elements are often considered to be ephemeral and not worth preserving for the long term. However, a growing body of research based in the work of Gerard Genette’s theories about paratext show that these elements are vitally important in literacy development to the readers of these books. This paper points to the importance of retaining and preserving all parts of the paratext, in particular the dust jackets and book covers, and advocates for changes in many current library policies that would encourage the preservation of paratext in these books.

Abstract Traditional literature (including folk tales, fairy tales, and fables) is valued in academic children's literature collections for its value in both direct use (real or hypothetical) with children and the historical, cultural, and anthropological study of folklore. The “timeless” feel of these works, along with their distinctively liminal place between fiction and nonfiction, can lead them to be perceived as indefinitely useful, even beyond their unusually long standard retention period. Nevertheless, in a non-archival academic children’s literature collection, routine assessment of traditional literature is necessary and even valuable. This article situates traditional literature in the context of children’s literature and its academic study, then describes how the children’s folklore collection in one academic library was bifurcated to improve access, browsing ability, context, and use of shelf space. Considerations, including thoughts on developing assessment and weeding criteria, are spelled out for collections considering a similar undertaking.

Abstract Kansas State University possesses a collection of juvenile literature to aid Education and English Department programs. K-State is also the university with the largest military population in the state. It was discovered that several famous children’s authors were military veterans. Building upon this research, over 160 children’s authors who served in the military were identified. K-State Libraries NEH Endowment Committee funded the curation of a military veteran children’s literature collection, the only known academic library to possess such a collection. The collection enabled the libraries to provide outreach through access to the materials, internet resources, and special collections exhibits.

Abstract PreK-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) books are vital resources for student teachers in college-level Education programs. This study takes a best-case scenario approach by exploring the holdings of recent Outstanding Science Trade Books (Books identified by the National Science Teaching Association annually for K-12 students.) at twenty academic libraries. Even among large-budget, research-oriented university libraries chosen for our study, there is considerable variability in the number and types of titles owned. The works most likely to be present in Association of Research Libraries (ARL) libraries include those that have won multiple awards. Titles about female scientists were among the most frequently held and were just as popular as works about males in STEM.

Abstract The Sonoma State University Library’s children's book collection is under-utilized by students in the School of Education, the primary intended audience, which prompted the Library to assess the role of this collection in the University setting. In an effort to learn more about the information-seeking needs and practices of students in the School of Education, the Education Liaison Librarian and Collection Development Librarian collaborated with faculty in the Department of Literacy Studies and Elementary Education to observe text set presentations from students in five classes and design a student-driven assessment of the children's collection. Following the student assessment, the librarians compared the criteria students used to select and deselect books with the criteria the librarians use to develop and weed the collection; the librarians used this information to refine collection management, organization, and wayfinding strategies for the collection so it aligns more closely with the students’ needs. This article describes the collaboration and results of the student assessment from the perspectives of both the librarians and the School of Education faculty.

Abstract This case study details the techniques, strategies, and workflow used by Sam Houston State University’s (SHSU) Newton Gresham Library in preparing materials to submit and claim with the Texas A&M University System Joint Library Facility (JLF). The article provides an overview of JLF history and operations, and details the critical factors leading to SHSU removing large numbers of print materials from its collection. Additionally, the article discusses why SHSU elected to leverage the services offered by JLF, examines challenges encountered, and reviews techniques employed to enhance the pre-check processing required to participate in JLF’s shared collection.

Abstract Not all academic librarians who oversee children’s collections for pre-service teachers have backgrounds in K-12 education. To develop a robust collection, the St. Cloud State University library reached out to an assistant professor in the Department of Teacher Development to help weed their children’s literature collection and recommend new titles because of their dual expertise with both libraries and schools. This commentary paper will outline the development of a children’s collection for pre-service teachers from the perspective of a faculty member with school library media expertise using an acronym they have deemed as PLACID: Pleasure, Levels, Awards, Curriculum, Illustrations, Diversity.
并非所有为职前教师管理儿童藏书的学术图书馆员都有K-12教育背景。为了扩充藏书，圣克劳德州立大学(St. Cloud State University)图书馆联系了教师发展系(Department of Teacher Development)的一位助理教授，让他帮助筛选孩子们的文学收藏，并推荐新书，因为他们在图书馆和学校都有双重专长。这篇评论文章将从一位拥有学校图书馆媒体专业知识的教职员工的角度，用他们认为是PLACID的首字母缩略词概述职前教师儿童收藏的发展:快乐，水平，奖励，课程，插图，多样性。
