Optional data literacy library workshops often struggle to achieve consistent high enrollment and attendance. In seeking strategies to mitigate these challenges, this qualitative study attempted to gain a better understanding of learner motivations and challenges when enrolling and attending optional data literacy instruction offered by a data library at a large university. Nineteen graduate students were interviewed. This study found four factors involved in motivating graduate students to enroll and attend optional library data literacy workshops. These factors, in the form of questions that graduate students would ask about the workshops, were: does the workshop address my need; does the workshop fit into my schedule; does the workshop satisfy my learning preferences; and are there health, emotional, or social aspects that could affect my workshop attendance. Based on these findings, several strategies to improve motivation and attendance were suggested, such as providing workshops at time of need, holding regular repeated sessions, presenting a mix of online and in-person offerings, and making workshops part of a social or networking event.

可选的数据扫盲图书馆研讨会往往难以获得稳定的高注册率和出席率。为了寻求缓解这些挑战的策略，本定性研究试图更好地了解学习者在报名和参加由一所大型大学的数据图书馆提供的可选数据扫盲课程时所面临的动机和挑战。19 名研究生接受了访谈。本研究发现了促使研究生报名并参加图书馆数据扫盲选修课的四个因素。这些因素以研究生会问的问题的形式出现，分别是：培训班是否能满足我的需求；培训班是否符合我的时间安排；培训班是否能满足我的学习偏好；以及是否有健康、情感或社会方面的因素会影响我参加培训班。根据这些调查结果，提出了几项提高学习动机和出席率的策略，如在有需要的时候举办研修班、定期重复举办研修班、混合提供在线和面对面的研修班，以及将研修班作为社交或网络活动的一部分。

This article, the second part of a report on the findings of a research project that was previously published Scoulas, De Groote, et al., 2024b), explores how undergraduates perceive academic success. As a part of federally funded project, two assessments tools were developed and distributed at a public research university to explore student definitions of success and assess if they met these definitions. Findings revealed two main themes: one theme centered on tangible achievements such as achieving high grades and excelling in classes, which were ranked as top indicators of academic success, aligning with traditional views. The other focused on processes, highlighting students' ability to manage their own personal growth. The article discusses how academic libraries can utilize these findings to foster the academic success of undergraduate students.

“All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.” –Ellen Glasgow

The library field has been dominated by conversations around new initiatives, changes, and ways to update the library field to remain relevant in the contemporary academy. In this article, the authors argue for the impact that recontextualization of extant services and expertise coupled with a mutually beneficial approach to partnerships can have as library's look to evolve their services. A case study about the success of Course Reserves-Equipment Lending at the Georgia Tech Library is provided as illumination, saving 2389 students nearly $420,000 over two years. The authors argue that the future of library success does not depend on stretching into new areas but rather a redefining and reinvestment in existing library services and leveraging truly equitable partnerships to meet contemporary needs.

"所有的变化都不是增长，正如所有的运动都不是前进"。-图书馆领域一直在围绕新举措、新变化以及如何更新图书馆领域以保持与当代学术界的相关性展开讨论。在这篇文章中，作者认为，在图书馆寻求发展其服务的过程中，对现有服务和专业知识进行重新整合，再加上互惠互利的合作方式，可以产生很大的影响。佐治亚理工学院图书馆的 "课程储备-设备借阅 "项目在两年内为 2389 名学生节省了近 42 万美元，该项目成功的案例研究为我们提供了启示。作者认为，图书馆成功的未来并不取决于向新的领域拓展，而是重新定义和重新投资现有的图书馆服务，利用真正公平的伙伴关系来满足当代需求。

Citizen science is a movement encouraging people to participate in publicly shared scientific projects that leads to new knowledge discovery and fosters community connections to scientific research. The purpose of this study is to review the promotion of citizen science (CS) by research-oriented academic libraries in the US through LibGuides. The data was collected between March 1 and July 10, 2024, from 146 R1 US university libraries as classified by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. Only 19 of the libraries covered CS in a public LibGuide, with 12 of them having a dedicated CS LibGuide. The information in the LibGuides varied greatly; even common elements, such as a definition of CS, differed and came from many sources. Less than half of the LibGuides included information on community engagement or resources for instructors. The authors recommend that future studies look at the promotion of CS as a valuable topic of research, the creation and utilization of CS LibGuides, and the use of CS by universities as a means of facilitating the community engagement aspect of their missions.

公民科学是一项鼓励人们参与公开共享的科学项目，从而发现新知识并促进社区与科学研究联系的运动。本研究旨在回顾美国研究型学术图书馆通过 LibGuides 对公民科学（CS）的推广情况。数据收集于 2024 年 3 月 1 日至 7 月 10 日，来自美国高等教育机构卡内基分类法（Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education）所列的 146 R1 所大学图书馆。其中只有 19 家图书馆在公共《图书指南》中介绍了计算机科学，12 家图书馆有专门的计算机科学《图书指南》。LibGuide 中的信息差异很大；即使是共同的要素，如 CS 的定义，也各不相同，而且来源众多。只有不到一半的《图书指南》包含有关社区参与或教师资源的信息。作者建议，未来的研究应关注将 CS 作为一个有价值的研究课题进行推广、CS LibGuides 的创建和使用，以及大学将 CS 作为促进其使命中的社区参与方面的一种手段。

Background

Ghanaian students with disabilities face challenges in accessing facilities, services and resources in academic libraries.

Purpose

This study examines the existence of disability policies to guide the provision of facilities, services and resources to students with disabilities in ten Ghanaian academic libraries.

Method

Qualitative data gathered using document analysis and interviews with 28 university librarians, heads of disability units and heads of development officers was analyzed and themed using AtlasTi software. The study was underpinned by the Social Model of Disability.

Findings

Seven Ghanaian public university libraries did not have disability policies resulting in limited accessibility to physical libraries, inaccessible library websites, OPACs and databases as well as inadequate alternative format resources and assistive technologies needed by students with impairments.

Practical implications

Ghanaian public universities may redesign their libraries to accommodate students with disabilities and as such motivate them to pursue and complete tertiary programs. If more students with disabilities can access and utilise academic libraries, the cost effectiveness of libraries, services, and collections would improve.

Originality/value

Originality lies in the applied methodological triangulation to determine how disability policies guide the provision of facilities, services and resources to students.

背景加纳残疾学生在使用学术图书馆的设施、服务和资源方面面临挑战。目的本研究探讨了加纳十所学术图书馆是否制定了残疾政策，以指导向残疾学生提供设施、服务和资源。方法通过文件分析和对 28 名大学图书馆员、残疾部门负责人和发展官员进行访谈收集到的定性数据，并使用 AtlasTi 软件对这些数据进行了分析和专题研究。研究结果七所加纳公立大学图书馆没有制定残疾政策，导致实体图书馆的无障碍程度有限，图书馆网站、OPAC 和数据库无法访问，替代格式资源和残疾学生所需的辅助技术不足。如果更多的残疾学生能够进入并利用学术图书馆，那么图书馆、服务和藏书的成本效益将得到改善。原创性/价值原创性在于应用三角测量方法确定残疾政策如何指导向学生提供设施、服务和资源。

The purpose of this scoping review is to assess the scope of available literature on artificial intelligence (AI) application in libraries with a view to providing strategies for the implementation of AI in Ghanaian academic libraries from relevant literature. The study adopted the framework outlined by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) to enable the retrieval of documents from a major citation database SCOPUS. Relevant articles searched and retrieved were based on Abstract, and Title search on artificial intelligence and academic libraries which comprised the two broad concepts of the study. Data collection was carried out in two phases: phase one from October 2022 and phase two in November 2023. Out of a total of 542 documents retrieved based on a search strategy, 518 met our inclusion criteria. Title, abstract and full text screening of the documents resulted in a total of 478 relevant articles for case analysis. The study outcome after an analysis of the articles deemed relevant and considered for inclusion in the study (478) resulted in the establishment of five major themes: namely” study categories, continental adoption rate, study objectives, study findings and study recommendations which were captured from various cases of articles analyzed.

The expansive adoption of asynchronous library instruction in recent years remains strong even after the conclusion of most COVID-19 emergency remote teaching. This continued growth has also introduced unique methodological challenges for assessment of learning and instruction in the form of vast, unwieldy evaluation data. This study introduces the use of text mining, topic modeling, and exploratory data analysis (EDA) as a novel approach to address the evolving needs of the field of large-scale online library instruction assessment. Librarians employed computational methods on a corpus of 21,506 words from student survey responses representing the instruction experiences of 3720 students to evaluate initial effectiveness of a new instruction approach. The application of a Bayesian topic model revealed latent patterns in self-reported perceptions of course design, mastery of concepts, and gaps in learning. In contrast with the inherent limitations of traditional qualitative analysis, our computational-grounded approach highlights otherwise indiscernible trends and key issues in user experience, instructional content, and online teaching methods. Computational analysis offers the scalability and sustainability necessary to assess asynchronous instruction, and provides clear themes to inform decision-making.

即使在 COVID-19 紧急远程教学结束之后，近年来异步图书馆教学的广泛采用仍然十分强劲。这种持续增长也为学习和教学评估带来了独特的方法论挑战，其表现形式为庞大而笨重的评估数据。本研究介绍了使用文本挖掘、主题建模和探索性数据分析（EDA）作为一种新方法，以满足大规模在线图书馆教学评估领域不断发展的需求。图书馆员采用计算方法对来自学生调查回复的 21,506 个单词的语料库进行了分析，该语料库代表了 3720 名学生的教学经验，用于评估新教学方法的初步效果。贝叶斯主题模型的应用揭示了自我报告中对课程设计、概念掌握和学习差距的看法的潜在模式。与传统定性分析的固有局限性相比，我们以计算为基础的方法突出了用户体验、教学内容和在线教学方法中原本难以分辨的趋势和关键问题。计算分析为评估异步教学提供了必要的可扩展性和可持续性，并为决策提供了明确的主题。

This study uses a mixed-methods approach to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and happiness in administrators and managers within academic libraries and how they relate to the experiences of individual contributor employees. Emotional intelligence is often viewed by library administrators as a critical element in promoting positive workplaces, especially for those employees who have supervisory or administrative responsibilities. Happiness, while rarely considered as such, is more often seen in the inverse - concern about low morale and toxic workplaces - and is thus another critical element. Data from this study shows that administrators and managers self-report higher levels of happiness and emotional intelligence than individual contributor employees.

本研究采用混合方法，考察学术图书馆行政人员和管理人员的情商与幸福感之间的关系，以及它们与贡献者员工个人经历之间的关系。图书馆管理者通常将情商视为促进积极工作环境的关键因素，尤其是对那些负有监督或管理职责的员工而言。快乐，虽然很少被认为是这样的，但更经常被视为反义词--对士气低落和有毒工作场所的担忧--因此也是另一个关键因素。这项研究的数据显示，行政人员和管理人员自我报告的幸福感和情商水平要高于个体贡献员工。

Students are increasingly expected to deliver new knowledge through visual information formats without the level of consistent instruction and support that text-based information formats receive. This paper addresses the student expectation to deliver information through visual media formats and how librarians can work with faculty to support the development of visual information literacies. The disciplines of engineering and business are visual by nature because they use computerized drawings and data visualizations to develop and communicate models and ideas. This does not, however, ensure consistent and uniform visual literacy instruction and support. There is a gap in the literature comparing the experiences students have versus faculty regarding visual media assignment expectations. A survey was conducted to better understand the current state of visual media being assigned. The survey responses of engineering and business faculty were compared to engineering and business student responses. Focus groups were hosted to further explore the survey results. Despite high levels of confidence, both admitted to a level of guesswork while either assigning and grading visual media or completing visual media coursework. Both referred to the need for guidelines and a campus visual writing center. Library resources were identified to address these visual literacy needs.

越来越多的学生被期望通过视觉信息的形式来传递新知识，而没有像基于文本的信息形式那样得到持续的指导和支持。本文探讨了学生对通过视觉媒体格式传递信息的期望，以及图书馆员如何与教师合作支持视觉信息素养的发展。工程和商业学科从本质上说是视觉性的，因为它们使用计算机绘图和数据可视化来开发和交流模型和想法。然而，这并不能确保视觉扫盲教学和支持的一致性和统一性。学生与教师在视觉媒体作业期望方面的经验比较在文献中存在空白。为了更好地了解视觉媒体作业的现状，我们进行了一项调查。将工程和商科教师的调查反馈与工程和商科学生的反馈进行了比较。还举办了焦点小组会议，进一步探讨调查结果。尽管教师们信心十足，但他们都承认，在给视觉媒体布置作业和打分或完成视觉媒体课程作业时，都存在一定程度的臆测。他们都提到了对指导原则和校园视觉写作中心的需求。为满足这些视觉素养需求，图书馆资源得到了确认。

The survey responses of engineering and business faculty were compared to engineering and business student responses. Focus groups were hosted to further explore the survey results. Despite high levels of confidence, both admitted to a level of guesswork while either assigning and grading visual media or completing visual media coursework. Both referred to the need for guidelines and a campus visual writing center. Library resources were identified to address these visual literacy needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"50 6","pages":"Article 102971"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
