December 2019 599 C&RL News

Welcome to the December 2019 issue of 
C&RL News. In this month’s Perspectives on 
the Framework column, Robin Ford of Reed 
College reflects on the Scholarship as Con-
versation frame as it relates to equity and 
social justice in her article “The long con-
versation.”

At Virginia Wesleyan University, librarians 
worked to increase cultural competency on 
campus through an EDI-focused newsletter. 
Sue Erickson, Sophie Rondeau, and Maggie 
Sweeny write about the project in “‘Drops 
of Diversity’.”

Also this month, Catherine Tingelstad and  
Heather McCullough take a look at collabora-
tion between “Instruction librarians and instruc-
tional designers” at Northern Essex Community 
College while Jennifer A. Fielding discusses her 
efforts to encourage students to think more like 
fact checkers when evaluating online sources 
in her article “Rethinking CRAAP.”

“A UK perspective on Brexit” from the 
point of view of academic and research li-
braries is the focus of the latest installment of 
our International Insights column by Judith 
Broady-Preston. 

According to tradition, we also take 
a look back at ACRL’s accomplishments 
in advancing learning and transforming 
scholarship with our 2018–2019 Annual 
Report. You can help make the next year 
of your association as successful as the last 
by volunteering to serve on an ACRL com-
mittee. The call for volunteers is available 
on page 612.

Make sure to check out the other features 
and departments this month, including an 
overview of using a LibGuide to promote a 
campus speaker series by David Flexbart and 
a The Way I See it essay featuring tips on 
being mentored by Mandi Goodsett.
