November 2018 533 C&RL News

Welcome to the November 2018 issue of C&RL 
News. This month, we feature three articles on dif-
ferent aspects of information literacy (IL) instruc-
tion. In this issue’s Perspectives on the Framework 
column, Kristin E. C. Green writes about introduc-
ing framework concepts to novice learners in her 
article “Meet them in the proximal zone.”

Abbie Basile and Sherry Matis review four 
mobile apps for IL classroom use in their ACRL 
TechConnect piece “Is there an app for that?” 
Finally, in this month’s The Way I See It essay, 
Dawn Stahura of Simmons College reflects on 
privilege in information and her use of “ACT 
UP for evaluating sources.”

Yu-Hui Chen writes about ways “Faculty/ 
librarian collaborations enhance doctoral student 
success” through a series of doctoral discussion 
forums at the University at Albany, focusing on this 
somewhat overlooked group when it comes to 
library interactions. 

The latest installment of our International Insights 
series features a look at global issues in “Academic 

library assessment” from Martha Kyrillidou while 
this month’s Scholarly Communication column 
examines “The state copyright conundrum,” with 
information on the State Copyright Resource Center 
from Kyle K. Courtney of Harvard University.

Student members are an essential part of the 
ACRL family. John P. Culshaw and Mary L. Rettig 
highlight a “Philanthropic partnership at the Uni-
versity of Iowa” that provides complementary ACRL 
membership to students in the university’s School of 
Library and Information Science.

Make sure to check out the other features and 
departments this month, including part two of our 
series by Shamika Dalton and Michelle Villagran 
on equity, diversity, and inclusion issues, focusing 
on “Minimizing and addressing microaggressions in 
the workplace;” the second in our series of articles 
focusing on the ACRL 2019 host city of Cleveland, 
providing recommendations for arts, culture, sports, 
and parks; and a look at the latest issue of College 
& Research Libraries by editor Wendi Kaspar.
