About a year ago, I requested and received a university libraries issued Ubuntu Linux computer. Ubuntu is a popular open-source GNU/Linux operating system. Since then, I have used Linux every day for all of my liaison librarianship duties, professional service, and scholarship.

As COVID-19 continues to influence the ways in which academic libraries serve faculty and students, so too does it impact the internal communications, planning, and processes of library teams. As libraries adapt to fully remote or hybrid staffing arrangements, meetings have shifted to platforms such as Zoom, WebEx, and Microsoft Teams. Flexible work arrangements, in which some staff may be onsite while others are dispersed, are likely to persist even as campuses return to more face-to-face operations. Leading effective meetings in person is a learned skill, one that can be adapted to the remote environment with some help from best practices in digital pedagogy and, in particular, the principles of backward design. These best practices can improve meeting productivity, encourage interaction, and increase inclusion for colleagues in satellite locations.

Instructional librarians are commonly asked to provide library instruction to freshman courses without an assignment that directly connects to the instruction. This type of request presents a quandary for librarians who do not think it is an effective way to teach library skills but still want to connect the library to incoming freshmen while building relationships with instructors. This article presents the way in which a social science librarian and a special collections librarian worked to include their library’s unique archival materials within a freshman psychology course in an unconventional way. Thinking about this type of instruction request in a different light provided us an opportunity to creatively use the library’s archival collections to connect psychology students to the rich history of their major and to the local community.

When I was the instruction librarian at York College of Pennsylvania, I hosted From the Shelves, a show on WVYC, the campus radio station. Outside of teaching, it was my favorite part of the job. I played music spanning genres and artists: the Mountain Goats, Petula Clark, XTC, De La Soul, and Katy Perry. Part of the fun was planning themed editions: two hours of music built around a central idea (e.g., foreign-language versions of popular songs, songs featuring spelling, and songs containing cowbell).

The University of Southern California (USC) Libraries’ collection of Illuminated Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts, Incunabula, and Rare Books includes 16 unique and invaluable illuminated medieval manuscripts, as well as 12 other medieval manuscripts (with pen-flourished initials or borders) originating in Europe. A substantial number of those manuscripts and rare books were acquired in the early to mid-20th century by Ralph Tyler Flewelling who joined USC in fall 1917. He became the first director of the School of Philosophy when it was established in 1929 with the completion of the Seeley Wintersmith Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy building. That growing collection of books, known as the James Harmon Hoose Library of Philosophy Collection, was cataloged according to the Dewey Decimal Classification. Hoose was the first head of the Philosophy Department, originally housed in the university’s administration building. In the latter part of the 20th century, this rare collection was relocated to the Special Collections Department in the Doheny Memorial Library.

International Open Access (OA) Week inspires us to pause and reflect on the growth and development of OA programming around the world, as well as consider its evolution at our own institution. The occasion highlights and cultivates global support for free and immediate access to the results of scholarly research, while spotlighting regional and disciplinary nuances to OA outreach. OA Week events across the globe are varied and have ranged from presentations to movie screenings to Wikipedia edit-a-thons. UCLA Library has facilitated its own OA Week events for many years, and recently began experimenting with gamification and play-based learning by way of original analog board games and interactive learning stations. These games covered the basic tenets of OA, scholarly communication, and keystone library services. Gamification can be a useful tool to explain concepts and acknowledge that there are many different paths to success, much like scholarship. In 2020, the pandemic prompted us to expand and apply the same OA learning concepts with game-based learning into a remote learning environment with Open Axis: The Open Access Video Game. The goal was to create a learning object that met asynchronous learning outcomes for a multitude of disciplines and various academic levels.
国际开放获取（OA）周激励我们停下来反思OA编程在世界各地的增长和发展，并思考它在我们自己的机构中的演变。该活动强调并培养了全球对免费和即时获取学术研究成果的支持，同时突出了OA外联的区域和学科细微差别。OA周在全球范围内的活动多种多样，从演讲到电影放映，再到维基百科编辑马拉松。加州大学洛杉矶分校图书馆多年来一直为自己的OA周活动提供便利，最近开始通过原始模拟棋盘游戏和互动学习站的方式尝试游戏化和基于游戏的学习。这些游戏涵盖了OA、学术交流和关键图书馆服务的基本原则。游戏化可以成为一个有用的工具来解释概念，并承认有很多不同的成功之路，就像学术一样。2020年，疫情促使我们通过Open Axis:the Open Access Video game将基于游戏的学习的OA学习概念扩展并应用到远程学习环境中。目标是创建一个学习对象，满足多个学科和不同学术水平的异步学习结果。

An African American community activist and business owner was looking for an institution that would collect documents and assist in conducting oral histories from communities across Southern Illinois to “tell the story of the region’s African-American Heritage.” Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) answered the call. SCRC has been committed to collecting and providing access to materials that represent diversity of race, economic status, gender and sexuality, religion, and politics in southern Illinois.

Teaching information literacy is a mainstay of many academic librarians’ roles. How are librarians—particularly those teaching in one-shots or embedded formats—developing their teaching skills? Teaching Squares offers an opportunity for librarians to improve instructional skills, through collaboration with their peers. Developed at St. Louis Community College and popularized at Stonehill College, Teaching Squares offers instructors “an opportunity to gain new insight into their teaching through a nonevaluative process of reciprocal classroom observation and self-reflection.”
信息素养教学是许多学术图书馆员工作的主要内容。图书馆员——尤其是那些一次性教学或嵌入式教学的图书馆员——是如何提高他们的教学技能的?教学广场为图书馆员提供了一个通过与同行合作来提高教学技能的机会。教学广场由圣路易斯社区学院(St. Louis Community College)开发，并在斯通希尔学院(Stonehill College)推广开来，它为教师提供了一个“通过互惠的课堂观察和自我反思的非评价性过程，获得教学新见解的机会”。

Like so many facets of higher education, academic libraries adapted admirably when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Collections and consultations moved online. Books went contactless for pick-up, drop-off, and shipping. Events went virtual. Seats in the library spread out. Learning and research continued. As COVID-19 restrictions are relaxed, it’s time to look to the future and understand which adaptations will remain, what trends will accelerate, and where progress may be on hold. Will libraries continue as hubs that bring together information, collections, technology, services, and spaces to support creativity, create knowledge, build community, inspire concentration, and foster collaboration? Or will there be retrenchment into quiet study halls divorced from student success, coursework, and the research enterprise? To answer these questions, we offer four big ideas for the future on library spaces, services, and collections.
