This scoping review examines the practice of Critical Digital Pedagogy (CDP), academic libraries, and online learning. From 285 initial records, 13 articles were included and identified three recurring themes with CDP: teaching, design, and Open Educational Resources (OER). Within those three themes, it was found that inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) were prevalent within all the records. This review highlights the need for continued exploration of CDP, online learning, and academic libraries, including how the COVID-19 pandemic and fluctuating state of higher education has made the combination of online learning, CDP, and information literacy teaching and design integral to librarians empowering patrons and students.
这一范围审查审查了批判性数字教学法(CDP)、学术图书馆和在线学习的实践。从285个初始记录中,纳入了13篇文章,并确定了CDP的三个反复出现的主题:教学、设计和开放教育资源(OER)。在这三个主题中,发现包容、多样性、公平和可及性(IDEA)在所有记录中都很普遍。本综述强调了继续探索CDP、在线学习和学术图书馆的必要性,包括COVID-19大流行和高等教育的波动状态如何使在线学习、CDP和信息素养教学与设计的结合成为图书馆员赋予读者和学生权力的组成部分。

This paper selects the top 40 universities in the 2025 QS World University Rankings (including 41 tied universities) and 42 “Double First-Class” university libraries in China as research objects, and conducts an empirical study on their AI literacy lecture training activities (including lectures, seminars, etc.). By combining quantitative statistics (structured data such as activity name, sponsor, audience characteristics, and organizational form) with qualitative analysis (text mining of lecture training content), the current status of AI literacy lecture training in their university libraries is systematically examined. The study found that China’s “Double First-Class” university libraries have the following prominent problems in AI literacy lecture training: the degree of attention and implementation strength are different, the participation of librarians is low, lecture training mainly relies on teachers outside the library, the lecture training content is unbalanced, there is a lack of AI cognition and AI ethics, AI lecture training lacks systematicness, and AI skills education is out of touch with practical applications. Based on an international comparative perspective, the paper proposes eight optimization strategies: Strengthen the emphasis and implementation of AI literacy lecture training, provide continuous AI literacy lecture training for librarians and strengthen the construction of AI-Literate librarians, improve AI lecture training content and strengthen AI cognition and AI ethics education, establishing the AI workshop series: achieving systematic and comprehensive craining, increase AI practice components, holding geneAI research cafe, and cooperate with multiple institutions to organize AI lecture training, in order to provide practical reference for the innovative development of AI literacy education system in university libraries around the world.
本文选取2025年QS世界大学排名前40名的高校(包括41所并列高校)和42所“双一流”高校图书馆作为研究对象,对其人工智能素养讲座培训活动(包括讲座、研讨会等)进行实证研究。通过定量统计(活动名称、主办单位、受众特征、组织形式等结构化数据)与定性分析(讲座培训内容文本挖掘)相结合,系统考察高校图书馆人工智能素养讲座培训现状。研究发现,中国“双一流”高校图书馆在人工智能素养讲座培训方面存在以下突出问题:重视程度和实施力度参差不齐,图书馆员参与度低,讲座培训主要依靠馆外教师,讲座培训内容不平衡,缺乏AI认知和AI伦理,AI讲座培训缺乏系统性,AI技能教育与实际应用脱节。基于国际比较视角,本文提出八大优化策略:加强对人工智能素养讲座培训的重视和实施,为图书馆员提供持续的人工智能素养讲座培训,加强人工智能素养图书馆员的建设,完善人工智能讲座培训内容,加强人工智能认知和人工智能伦理教育,建立人工智能工作坊系列;实现系统、全面的培训,增加AI实践组件,举办基因AI研究咖啡馆,并与多家机构合作举办AI讲座培训,为全球高校图书馆AI素养教育体系的创新发展提供实践参考。

Like many other institutions, academic libraries face the opportunities and threats associated with implementing AI. The practical application of this technology is decided by managers based on their knowledge and experience, for example, by introducing technologies that are common today but were once innovative, such as social media. The aim of this study is to learn the opinions and attitudes of academic librarianship experts in Poland, which reveal the potential and possible barriers to AI. Such knowledge will, in turn, allow for the building of competencies and the development of positive attitudes based on knowledge rather than prejudice or stereotypes. Due to the selected population, the Delphi method was used to collect data. Quantitative analysis of responses to questionnaire statements was applied, and the thematic narrative method was used to analyze comments. The results show a realistic (as of the moment) perception of AI as a tool rather than a partner in library work. They also reveal certain concerns and beliefs that may negatively affect the adaptation of AI in libraries. The knowledge gained forms the basis for recommendations regarding the process of implementing AI in libraries and, more broadly, in scientific communication.
与许多其他机构一样,学术图书馆面临着与实施人工智能相关的机遇和威胁。这种技术的实际应用是由管理者根据他们的知识和经验来决定的,例如,通过引入今天很常见但曾经是创新的技术,如社交媒体。本研究的目的是了解波兰学术图书馆专家的意见和态度,这些意见和态度揭示了人工智能的潜在和可能的障碍。这种知识反过来又有助于建立能力和发展基于知识而不是偏见或陈规定型观念的积极态度。由于选择了人群,所以采用德尔菲法收集数据。对问卷陈述的回答进行定量分析,并采用主题叙事法对评论进行分析。研究结果显示,目前人们认为人工智能是一种工具,而不是图书馆工作的合作伙伴。他们还揭示了一些可能会对人工智能在图书馆的适应产生负面影响的担忧和信念。所获得的知识构成了关于在图书馆以及更广泛地在科学传播中实施人工智能过程的建议的基础。

Library-sponsored undergraduate research awards are a popular way for libraries to cultivate and celebrate undergraduate student research on their campuses. However, there is a lack of library and information science literature on ways of assessing these types of awards, particularly related to their impact on winning students. Using a multi-pronged assessment approach, the librarian creators of the Paul Robeson Library Undergraduate Research Award surveyed undergraduate students and award winners to determine ways of improving the general award announcement and application process while also developing a deeper understanding of the impact the award had on the recipients. In addition to identifying ways of elucidating the application process and removing barriers to applying, findings showed that winning the award impacted student success: winners self-reported being more likely to pursue additional academic opportunities and feeling more confident in their ability to perform academic tasks. Although piloted at Rutgers University-Camden on a small scale, these efforts could be easily scaled to assess programs that have existed longer or that include a greater number of awardees.
图书馆赞助的本科生研究奖是图书馆培养和庆祝校园本科生研究的一种流行方式。然而,关于评估这类奖项的方法,特别是与获奖学生的影响有关的方法,图书馆和信息科学文献缺乏。采用多管齐下的评估方法,保罗·罗伯逊图书馆本科生研究奖的创建者对本科生和获奖者进行了调查,以确定改进一般奖项宣布和申请流程的方法,同时也加深了对奖项对获奖者的影响的理解。除了确定阐明申请流程和消除申请障碍的方法外,研究结果还表明,赢得该奖项会影响学生的成功:获奖者自我报告说,他们更有可能追求额外的学术机会,对自己完成学术任务的能力更有信心。虽然在罗格斯大学(Rutgers University-Camden)小规模试点,但这些努力可以很容易地扩大规模,以评估存在时间更长或包括更多获奖者的项目。

This study examined how visual stimulation in virtual library environments affects creative thinking. Two virtual environments were designed: a C-space (supporting convergent thinking), featuring a simple layout with monochromatic tones and minimal materials, and a D-space (supporting divergent thinking), incorporating diverse finishes, irregular shapes, plants, and a high ceiling. Fifty-five Korean university students completed the Alternate Uses Task (AUT) and the Remote Associates Test (RAT) in both environments, while their brain activity was recorded via electroencephalography (EEG). Surveys measured psychological responses, including affective state and perceived restorativeness. Contrary to hypotheses, the visually simpler C-space facilitated both convergent and divergent thinking more effectively than the D-space. EEG results showed higher frontal theta, alpha, and gamma activity during AUT in the C-space, indicating greater cognitive engagement and internally oriented attention. During RAT, decreased parieto-occipital alpha power and increased gamma power suggested enhanced mental imagery for problem-solving. Although students perceived the D-space as emotionally positive, its visual complexity appeared to hinder sustained attention. These findings align with cognitive load theory, highlighting that reduced visual complexity supports creative cognition by minimizing distractions. While further validation in real-world settings is needed, this study offers preliminary insights for optimizing library design to enhance creativity.
本研究考察了虚拟图书馆环境中的视觉刺激如何影响创造性思维。设计了两个虚拟环境:一个是c空间(支持收敛性思维),以单色色调和最小材料的简单布局为特色;一个是d空间(支持发散性思维),结合了不同的饰面、不规则的形状、植物和高高的天花板。55名韩国大学生在两种环境下完成了交替使用任务(AUT)和远程联想测试(RAT),并通过脑电图(EEG)记录了他们的大脑活动。调查测量了心理反应,包括情感状态和感知恢复。与假设相反,视觉上更简单的c空间比d空间更有效地促进了收敛和发散思维。脑电图结果显示,在AUT期间,c空间的额叶θ、α和γ活动较高,表明认知参与和内定向注意程度较高。在大鼠实验中,顶叶-枕叶α能量的下降和γ能量的增加表明解决问题的心理意象增强。尽管学生们认为d空间在情感上是积极的,但其视觉复杂性似乎阻碍了持续的注意力。这些发现与认知负荷理论一致,强调减少视觉复杂性通过减少干扰来支持创造性认知。虽然需要在现实环境中进一步验证,但本研究为优化图书馆设计以增强创造力提供了初步的见解。

As the popularity and proliferation of graphic novels, comic books, and manga has grown over the last couple of decades as well as their legitimacy as a form of literature and a subject of scholarship, academic libraries have increasingly incorporated them into their collections. However, managing these formats presents unique challenges compared to traditional materials. This study surveyed 157 academic librarians in North America to investigate how academic libraries select, acquire, organize, fund, promote, and utilize graphic literature. Findings indicate that academic libraries primarily collect graphic novels to support pleasure reading, diversify collections, and fulfill curricular needs. Libraries reported a variety of acquisition, funding, and shelving strategies. Libraries promote these materials through book displays, social media, and programming such as book clubs and themed events. Graphic novels support the curriculum across many disciplines and are sometimes used as course texts and supplemental readings. The findings highlight both innovation and inconsistency in current practices, demonstrating a wide variety of ways to select, acquire, fund, organize, shelve, promote, and utilize these works. The study provides useful information for institutions seeking to expand or reevaluate their approach to graphic literature in academic libraries.
在过去的几十年里,随着图画小说、漫画书和漫画的流行和扩散,以及它们作为一种文学形式和学术主题的合法性的增长,学术图书馆越来越多地将它们纳入他们的收藏中。然而,与传统材料相比,管理这些格式提出了独特的挑战。本研究调查了北美地区的157位学术图书馆员,探讨学术图书馆如何选择、获取、组织、资助、推广和利用图形文献。研究结果表明,高校图书馆收藏图画小说的主要目的是为了支持快乐阅读、丰富馆藏和满足课程需求。图书馆报告了各种各样的收购、资助和搁置策略。图书馆通过图书展示、社交媒体、图书俱乐部和主题活动等方式推广这些材料。图画小说支持许多学科的课程,有时用作课程文本和补充阅读材料。研究结果强调了当前实践中的创新和不一致,展示了选择、获取、资助、组织、搁置、促进和利用这些作品的各种方法。该研究为寻求扩大或重新评估其在学术图书馆中的图形文学方法的机构提供了有用的信息。

This study examines the systemic and structural barriers that shape career advancement and tenure among academic librarians, based on descriptive analysis of survey responses from 200 professionals. It explores how gender, caregiving responsibilities, geographic mobility, and institutional structures intersect to influence professional trajectories. Quantitative data are summarized using descriptive statistics, while qualitative responses reveal patterns of exclusion, including opaque promotion processes, inflexible tenure expectations, and workplace cultures that undervalue caregiving and service labor. Respondents also highlight the role of mentorship, unionization, and professional development as partial supports. Recommendations include clearer advancement criteria, flexible work policies, and inclusive leadership development. By centering the lived experiences of librarians—particularly women and caregivers—this study contributes to broader conversations on equity and sustainability in academic library careers.

Factors influencing higher education students' information processing: Implications for academic libraries 高等教育学生信息处理的影响因素:对高校图书馆的启示

Information problem solving skills are vital for academic success, yet many higher education students struggle with effective information processing. While previous research broadly addresses information literacy, little is known about the specific factors that influence students' processing abilities. This study explores these factors by examining student performance during a complex academic task. Using a grounded theory approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with nine undergraduate students and analyzed via constant comparative analysis. Four key factors emerged: (1) prior domain knowledge enhances evaluation efficiency, (2) affective factors such as motivation strongly impact performance, (3) task complexity and cognitive load management strategies interact, and (4) external support structures matter—though librarians were notably absent as a perceived resource. These findings highlight the need for academic libraries to better align their services with students' actual information processing challenges. Practical implications include promoting whole-task iterative practice, embedding just-in-time support in domain-specific contexts, and addressing affective as well as technical skill development. By focusing on these four factors, academic libraries can more effectively support students. This study contributes to both the theoretical understanding of information processing in higher education and the development of evidence-based strategies to enhance library support.
解决信息问题的能力对学术成功至关重要,然而许多高等教育的学生在有效的信息处理方面挣扎。虽然以前的研究广泛地关注信息素养,但对影响学生处理能力的具体因素知之甚少。本研究通过考察学生在复杂学业任务中的表现来探讨这些因素。采用扎根理论的方法,通过对9名本科生的半结构化访谈收集数据,并通过不断的比较分析进行分析。四个关键因素:(1)先验领域知识提高了评估效率;(2)动机等情感因素强烈影响绩效;(3)任务复杂性和认知负荷管理策略相互作用;(4)外部支持结构很重要——尽管图书馆员作为感知资源明显缺失。这些发现强调了大学图书馆需要更好地将其服务与学生实际的信息处理挑战结合起来。实际意义包括促进整个任务迭代实践,在特定领域的上下文中嵌入即时支持,以及处理情感和技术技能开发。通过关注这四个因素,高校图书馆可以更有效地支持学生。本研究既有助于对高等教育信息处理的理论认识,也有助于制定基于证据的策略来加强图书馆对信息处理的支持。

While previous research broadly addresses information literacy, little is known about the specific factors that influence students' processing abilities. This study explores these factors by examining student performance during a complex academic task. Using a grounded theory approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with nine undergraduate students and analyzed via constant comparative analysis. Four key factors emerged: (1) prior domain knowledge enhances evaluation efficiency, (2) affective factors such as motivation strongly impact performance, (3) task complexity and cognitive load management strategies interact, and (4) external support structures matter—though librarians were notably absent as a perceived resource. These findings highlight the need for academic libraries to better align their services with students' actual information processing challenges. Practical implications include promoting whole-task iterative practice, embedding just-in-time support in domain-specific contexts, and addressing affective as well as technical skill development.

This article explores how scholarship about teaching with primary sources (TPS) has evolved over time and what future directions past work might suggests. Using bibliometric analysis and visualization tools, we examined how TPS work has grown; what fields and disciplines focus on this work; key themes and issues; and what scholarship has been influential to the field. These insights led to reflections on disconnects across the field, considerations for publishing about TPS, and the potential of pedagogical standards and guidelines. Finally, this article concludes with recommendations on how this analysis points to possibilities for shared education, space, conversation, and products.
本文探讨了第一手资料教学(TPS)的学术研究是如何随着时间的推移而发展的,以及过去的研究可能表明的未来方向。使用文献计量分析和可视化工具,我们研究了TPS工作是如何发展的;哪些领域和学科关注这项工作;主要主题和问题;以及哪些学术研究对这个领域有影响。这些见解导致了对整个领域脱节的反思,对TPS出版的考虑,以及教学标准和指导方针的潜力。最后,本文总结了该分析如何指向共享教育、空间、对话和产品的可能性的建议。
