Although modern library professional organizations name diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) as core values, the library and information science field still struggles with assessing DEIA efforts within its organizations. While workforce and collection diversity efforts are the most common DEIA initiatives in libraries, assessment of a library's collective DEIA efforts and employee knowledge and perceptions of these efforts is severely lacking. How can academic libraries collect and quantify employee sentiment and knowledge about DEIA work across all departments to create a baseline measurement of library efforts? And what are successful strategies to ensure this process is transparent and inclusive? This case study documents one academic library's employee-led process of conducting a library-wide, holistic audit of its DEIA efforts using the mixed methods Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Self- Assessment Audit (DEISAA) instrument. It discusses the communication strategies and decision-making processes the library engaged in to prepare for the administration of the DEISAA to all library employees and the individualized recommendations received based on the assessment results. The process documentation can serve as a blueprint for other libraries or institutions who wish to assess their organization's DEIA efforts with an audit.

The retention of mid-career academic librarians of color is a topic rarely researched by the profession. This paper addresses these gaps in the research by identifying what mid-career means to academic librarians of color and then focusing on what factors influence mid-career librarians of color to stay or leave academic librarianship. The authors conducted 25 semi-structured interviews with 21 current mid-career librarians and 4 people who left academic librarianship at the mid-career point. A qualitative analysis was conducted using in-vivo coding. While there is no concrete definition of mid-career, participants identified emotional, financial, and opportunistic factors that contributed to their feeling of being mid-career. There was general agreement that mentorship and community were the main factors for staying. Those who left struggled with acculturating to the overwhelming whiteness of librarianship and the constantly changing, unwritten rules of higher education. Academic librarianship needs to prioritize the voices of BIPOC librarians and truly listen to what they are saying.

Introduction

The diversification of academic roles can lead to work overload, with significant consequences for well-being. In this context, the academic library's role in supporting research has become crucial. This study aimed to examine the relationship between academics and librarians based on the practices offered to support research activities, and the relevance of Community of Practice (CoP) theory in this context.

Method

Eighteen in-depth interviews with academic librarians from public universities in Poland were conducted. A thematic narrative approach emphasized the local context of the findings while grounding them in a broader context of international observations.

Results

This study shows that at all stages of scholarly communication, we observe interactions between academics and librarians. Although the level and type of these interactions differ depending on the stage and the institution, they are a rich source of knowledge about academics' needs. While organizing access to print and digital collections remains an essential part of their duties, the emphasis of their activities is shifting from collection management to service provision. These efforts lead to shared practices that constitute the community as defined in CoP theory, even though at the preliminary stage, it is often still unrecognized, invisible to the organization and even to some members.

The processes of giving and receiving feedback are woven into the work and scholarly publication pursuits of academic librarians. The competencies required to cultivate a meaningful feedback exchange have been explored in other disciplines under the term “feedback literacy,” and have recently been tied to the peer review process included in the scholarly publication cycle. This article presents the findings from an international survey to Library Science editors and the authors of LIS journal articles, seeking to evaluate author and editor experiences of peer review in LIS journals and to ascertain the amount of instruction or training the respondents received in regard to scholarly writing and the peer review process. The study found that there is little to no standard instruction within the LIS discipline on the peer review process.

This study investigates the comparative research impact and dissemination of green open access (GOA) and traditional toll-access (TA) publications within the chemical sciences. Employing programmatic data harvesting via ChemRxiv and Scopus APIs and integrating both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, this research presents a replicable framework for bibliometric assessment. The findings indicate that GOA publications achieve higher levels of social media engagement and exhibit citation rates comparable to those of TA publications, even when featured in journals with lower h-index scores, suggesting enhanced visibility and sustained readership. Notably, the study underscores the critical importance of controlling for article age, as demonstrated by the significant correlational interactions between age and key bibliometric and altmetric measures. This insight not only fills a gap in existing literature but also informs effective methodological approaches for future analyses. The confirmation of non-normal distribution behaviors in these metrics reinforces the need for non-parametric analytical methods, highlighting the limitations of traditional parametric comparisons. Collectively, these findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how access models shape scholarly impact and underscore the necessity of employing robust, tailored statistical methods. The study advocates for continued longitudinal research to further elucidate the complex dynamics of research dissemination and engagement.
本研究调查了化学科学领域绿色开放存取(GOA)和传统收费存取(TA)出版物的研究影响和传播的比较。本研究通过 ChemRxiv 和 Scopus API 采集程序化数据,并结合描述性和推论性统计分析,提出了一个可复制的文献计量评估框架。研究结果表明,即使在 h 指数较低的期刊上发表,GOA 出版物也能获得更高的社交媒体参与度,并显示出与 TA 出版物相当的引用率。值得注意的是,该研究强调了控制文章年龄的重要性,年龄与关键文献计量学和 Altmetric 计量学之间的显著相关性相互作用就证明了这一点。这一见解不仅填补了现有文献的空白,还为今后的分析提供了有效的方法论。这些指标中的非正态分布行为的确认加强了对非参数分析方法的需求,突出了传统参数比较的局限性。总之,这些发现有助于更全面地了解获取模式是如何形成学术影响力的,并强调了采用稳健的、量身定制的统计方法的必要性。本研究主张继续开展纵向研究,以进一步阐明研究传播和参与的复杂动态。

Training public-facing special collections librarians in needed competencies requires a combination of formal education, which is the responsibility of the individual, and on the-job training, which is the responsibility of employers. Core competencies for special collections librarians have been developed by professional organizations. Research has been conducted on how to educate librarians in these core competencies. No data exists on who special collections librarians think is responsible for, or successful at, imparting core competencies, the individual, the employer, or both. This article provides the results of a survey which asked special collections librarians to provide their opinions as to who is responsible for and successful at training special collections librarians. Demographic information about special collections librarians' education, rank, work experience, and entry into the profession was gathered to offer baseline information. The results can provide information for individuals on what competencies they are expected to learn through their own training; what competencies employers are expected to provide via on-the-job training and continuing education/professional development; and what competencies LIS programs are expected to provide to prepare librarians for future success.

Informal feedback processes are becoming increasingly important across all organizations, including academic libraries. In addition to the dissatisfaction of employees with formal feedback, many issues with formal feedback processes have been studied and reported on over recent years. As informal feedback becomes more prevalent, it is critical for library organizations to understand elements of informal feedback processes and how they impact both employee and organizational outcomes. This study analyzes two important elements of informal feedback processes that are often undervalued, or sometimes lost, in formal feedback procedures: the employee-manager relationship (through supervisor source credibility) and individual employee characteristics (through feedback orientation). This online study of academic library workers (n = 231) analyzed how these informal elements relate to the organizational outcomes of affective commitment and turnover intention. Findings show supervisor source credibility and feedback orientation are both positively related to affective commitment. Only supervisor source credibility, the organization-related variable, was related to turnover intention. Practical implications for academic library managers and future research directions are discussed.

In 1994, the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) published a print directory containing information on every electronic journal that could be identified, anywhere in the world. Thirty years later, this study surveys the current availability and preservation status of those 443 journals. While a significant number of these journals are no longer available, the results indicate that independent preservation efforts by individuals and small groups were a major factor in preserving many of the remaining publications. This study uses the preservation survey method to assess the preservation environment for these journals, and also to build an online directory of the journals to assist researchers in locating these often-overlooked innovators of electronic scholarly communication.

The current situation in the post-COVID-19 era demands the implementation of sustainable ways to meet users' evolving needs, particularly in the context of contactless services supporting the information activities of university members. This study examines factors affecting service satisfaction based on the current status of contactless services in South Korean academic libraries. To achieve this, we first investigated the current status of contactless services in South Korean academic libraries, reviewed the literature on factors influencing contactless services, and then conducted a survey to gather users' actual perceptions of these services. Our analysis reveals that the value of all service types—namely, Research Support, Capability Development Support, Information Access Support, and Education Support—influences satisfaction with contactless services. Furthermore, satisfaction with contactless services varies depending on relevant factors such as Convenience, Responsiveness, Security, Reliability, and Personalization, which librarians should consider when designing and implementing programs. Ultimately, by identifying the current level of support for contactless services in South Korean academic libraries and the satisfaction of university members, this study aims to suggest practical directions to improve contactless services in academic libraries.
后 COVID-19 时代的现状要求采用可持续的方式来满足用户不断变化的需求,尤其是在支持大学成员信息活动的非接触式服务方面。本研究基于韩国学术图书馆非接触式服务的现状,探讨了影响服务满意度的因素。为此,我们首先调查了韩国学术图书馆非接触式服务的现状,回顾了有关非接触式服务影响因素的文献,然后进行了一项调查,以收集用户对这些服务的实际看法。我们的分析表明,所有服务类型(即研究支持、能力开发支持、信息获取支持和教育支持)的价值都会影响用户对非接触式服务的满意度。此外,对非接触式服务的满意度也因便利性、响应性、安全性、可靠性和个性化等相关因素的不同而不同,图书馆员在设计和实施项目时应考虑这些因素。最后,本研究通过确定当前韩国学术图书馆对非接触式服务的支持程度以及大学成员的满意度,旨在为改善学术图书馆的非接触式服务提出切实可行的方向。

This article examines past and present practices of embedding information literacy into introductory composition courses at the university level and proposes a new model based on a case study conducted in Fall 2022 at a large research university. Based on the assessment outcomes and student feedback, we used a Fall 2023 iteration of the course to refine some of the activities and assignments, and then created an open access Information Literacy Toolkit for introductory composition instructors. This project demonstrates how librarians can contribute to the existing structures of introductory composition programs at large universities to embed information literacy in a way that is scalable for both librarian and instructor. Conversely, this also highlights the critical role introductory composition at the university level can play in achieving core library priorities, such as teaching information literacy and critical thinking. The Information Literacy Toolkit is open access and all materials are downloadable for free, so that faculty and librarians can view, amend, and apply the toolkit.
本文研究了过去和现在在大学层面将信息素养嵌入作文入门课程的做法,并基于2022年秋季在一所大型研究型大学开展的案例研究,提出了一种新的模式。在评估结果和学生反馈的基础上,我们利用 2023 年秋季迭代的课程完善了一些活动和作业,然后为作文入门课程教师创建了一个开放式的信息素养工具包。该项目展示了图书馆员如何为大型大学现有的作文入门课程结构做出贡献,以一种对图书馆员和教师都可扩展的方式嵌入信息素养。反之,这也凸显了大学一级的作文入门课程在实现图书馆核心优先事项(如教授信息素养和批判性思维)方面所能发挥的关键作用。信息素养工具包是开放式的,所有材料均可免费下载,因此教师和图书馆员可以查看、修改和应用该工具包。
