There has long been debate, even controversy, around the nature of information literacy. Is it comprised of a set of skills as laid out in the now-rescinded Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, inter-related concepts as laid out in the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, or perhaps can it be conceptualize in yet another way? What if information literacy were an academic discipline, such as education, nursing, or social work? In October 2021, an international group of information literacy educators and researchers came together to explore the idea that information literacy is a discipline and speculate about what that could mean for education and research. We read articles arguing that information literacy is a discipline by Sheila Webber and Bill Johnston, who later joined the group. Examining its decades-long history, Webber and Johnston have suggested that information literacy should be recognized as a “maturing” discipline. We reviewed the literature to determine the characteristics of a discipline identified by scholars, which include (1) a community of scholars, (2) communications networks, (3) a code of ethics, (4) traditions and history, (5) modes of inquiry, and (6) shared ideas about what constitutes knowledge. Information literacy meets these criteria.

The academic library landscape has experienced a significant shift in recent years, resulting in many institutions adopting new working methods and operating with reduced staffing levels. According to now-retired ACRL Associate Director Mary Jane Petrowski, total full-time equivalent academic library staffing decreased by nearly 20% from 2012 to 2021. The trend toward managing your workload with smaller teams or as solo librarians in academic departments has emerged and may become commonplace, driven by budget cuts, lower enrollment, technological advancements, staff attrition, and hiring freezes. As a result, it is crucial for library professionals to embrace self-management principles shared by Peter Drucker and leverage technology tools to navigate these challenges effectively and continue providing valuable services to their communities.

Open science is a growing movement toward making science a global public good. Open practices are emerging as a way of transitioning rapidly to more accessible, transparent, and inclusive science to ensure that it also serves the broader society. In recognition of the transformative potential of open science to reduce existing inequalities in science, technology, and innovation, countries worked together within the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to map out a path to open scholarship. The 2021 UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science provides an international normative instrument that can direct shared progress toward more open and equitable scholarly systems, grounded in shared values and principles. As countries begin implementing the Recommendation, librarians and information professionals have a key role to play in creating solutions and strengthening processes for open scholarship.

Figure 1 was what was generated when we asked ChatGPT, the generative AI system that has been the subject of a thousand hot takes about how it’s disrupting academia-as-we-know-it, to describe itself for an academic librarian audience. Perhaps it’s learning a bit too much from the public relations documents that were a part of the vast amounts of data it was trained on, when it describes itself as “highly relevant,” “invaluable,” and “accurate.” It did not, however, bring up the caveat that greets you when you open up ChatGPT itself: that it “may occasionally generate incorrect information,” that it “may occasionally produce harmful instructions or biased content,” or that it has “limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021.” In addition, it doesn’t bring up the reddest of academic red flags—that ChatGPT provides an easy way for students to cheat and plagiarize. The Atlantic has claimed that because of ChatGPT and other AI, “the undergraduate essay [which] has been at the center of humanistic pedagogy for generations . . . is about to be disrupted from the ground up.” A writer at Times Higher Education has suggested that allowing AI to replace a student’s creative voice means “abandoning our responsibilities as educators.”
