CUPA-HR 2021 Benefits in Higher Education Annual Report CUPA-HR recently released “Benefits in Higher Education Annual Report,” examining the benefits offered to higher education employees, including healthcare plans, wellness programs, paid time off, tuition benefits, and retirement. CUPA-HR’s survey of benefits for higher education employees has been conducted since 2003. Data is typically collected on healthcare benefits in odd years and on paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits in even years. Because higher education institutions are facing budget cuts and reevaluating practices in the wake of COVID-19, CUPA-HR collected data on all benefits to help institutions make data-based decisions on changes to benefits offerings. A total of 349 institutions completed the survey reporting on all benefits. Because this data was collected with an effective date of January 1, 2021, the report offers an over- view of the current state of benefit offerings in higher education after the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional analyses that highlight changes to benefits over the past year will be released on the CUPA- HR website. The full report is available at www.cupahr.org/surveys/benefits-in-higher -education/.

Oberlies. This book adds to the ongoing conversation around this disput- able phrase by helping librarians think about the topic through the lens of different disci- plines and audiences, and focus on an aspect of fake news that will be compelling to a par- ticular audience or in a specific setting. Fake news is a prob- lematic phrase. Does it simply mean stories that are truly fake? Does it include a story whose facts are basically true but twisted by manipula- tive language and falla- cious reasoning? Where do memes and fabricated images fall in this defini- tion? Is it new, or just propaganda? And yet, fake news is the phrase that has captured people’s at- tention. While librarians have justified concerns that fake news does not fully (or even accurately) capture the nuances of our problematic informa- tion ecosystem, it’s a phrase that resonates with and is used by others. Teaching about Fake News contains 23 chapters with full lesson plans arranged into seven themes: algorithms/altmetrics, visual lit- eracy, media literacy, memes, business, science communication, the financial/political impact of fake news, and partnerships. Each chapter has an accompanying Power- Point freely available in the ACRL Frame- work for Information Literacy Sandbox and findable with the tag “#fakenews.” Fake news is a huge subject with numerous angles and perspec- tives. By taking a more nuanced approach, fo- cusing on distinct as- pects of fake news and tailored for specific audiences, librarians c a n m o v e s t u d e n t s toward a more criti- cal approach to news literacy. Te a c h i n g a b o u t Fake News: Lesson Plans for Different Disci- plines and Audiences is available for purchase in print and as an ebook through the ALA Online Store, in print through Amazon.com, and by telephone order at (866) 746-7252 in the United States. or (770) 442-8633 for international customers. 2021 ACRL Legislative Agenda Each year, the ACRL Government Rela- tions Committee, in consultation with the ACRL Board of Directors and staff, formulates an ACRL Legislative Agen- da. Drafted with input from key ACRL committees, ACRL leaders, and the ALA Public Policy and Advocacy Office, the ACRL Legislative Agenda is prioritized and focuses on issues at the national level affecting the welfare of academic and re- search libraries. The ACRL Board of Directors recently approved the 2021 ACRL Legislative Agenda, which focuses on eight issues that the U.S. Congress has recently taken, or will most likely take, action on in the year ahead: Federal Fund- ing for Libraries, Net Neutrality, Affordable College Textbook Act, Consumer Data Privacy, Open Access, Accessible Instructional Materials http://Amazon.com C&RL News September 2021 352 “Implementing and Managing Streaming Media Services in Academic Libraries” white paper now available from Choice Choice has released the eighth in a series of white papers designed to provide actionable intelligence around topics of importance to the academic library community. The paper, “Implementing and Managing Streaming Me- dia Services in Academic Libraries,” examines the factors that librar- ians must consider when considering the addition of stream- ing services to their institution, providing a quantifiable over- view of the current streaming landscape in academic libraries. Researched and w r i t t e n b y G i s e l e Tanasse, Film and Media Services librarian at University of California-Berkeley, the paper surveys the opportunities streaming services provide by reviewing existing literature, analyz- ing survey data, and summarizing the results of practitioner interviews. The goal of the study was to provide a thorough examination into fac- tors relating to streaming services such as acqui- sition models, budgeting, content use scenarios, user perspectives, and ongoing management. Commenting on the publication of the latest white paper, Choice Editorial Director Bill Mickey noted, “The timing of this report couldn’t be better. Use of digital resources has exploded over the past year, and streaming media is no exception. The survey results provide an excellent baseline for stream- ing implementation and the report helps point the way for aca- demic librarians who find themselves on the cusp of managing more of these kinds of resources.” Funding for this research was provided by a generous contribution from Infobase. “Implementing and Managing Streaming Me- dia Services in Academic Libraries” has been published under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license and is available on the Choice 360 website at www. choice360.org/research-papers/. in Higher Education Act (Aim Higher), Federal Funding for Higher Education, and Environ- mental Impact of Data Centers. The agenda also includes a watch list of policy issues of great concern to academic librarians but where there is no pending leg- islation. Issues on the watch list are Public Access to Federally Funded Research, Federal Depository Library Program Modernization Act, and Deferred Action for Childhood Ar- rival/Immigration Issues.

September 2021 C&RL News353 Tech Bits . . . Brought to you by the ACRL ULS Technology in University Libraries Committee Do you find yourself needing a virtual space to work on group brainstorming, priority setting, and decision making? You might want to try Dotstorming, a product I recently encountered. Dotstorming is a collection of virtual tools that enable participants to move collective decision making to an online environment. Tools include walls with virtual stickies that act as a virtual whiteboard to collect and capture group members’ ideas, a voting board that then allows members to vote on the priority of items on the wall, and a collage, where group members can draw on an individual or collective canvas in real time. Dotstorm is a free resource that does not restrict the number of accounts held nor the size of the workspace. —David MacCourt University of Massachusetts-Amherst . . .

Open Access pilot for Latin American monographs expands A partnership led by the Latin Americanist Re- search Resources Project (LARRP) in collabora- tion with the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO), JSTOR, and Latin Ameri- can bookseller García Cambeiro has expanded a sustainable Open Access pilot (Publish as Open) for monographs developed and supported by the library community. This is the second phase of a project to expand Latin American OA ebooks ac- cessible through Books at JSTOR and to explore further opportunities for developing this model with other university presses. The Publish as Open pilot was born when Angela Carreño from LARRP and García Cambeiro approached JSTOR about bringing CLACSO ebooks online in a cost-effective way. Through the generous financial support of LARRP member institutions, the pilot has now published more than 280 Open Access ebooks through the Books at JSTOR program. This includes all titles published from 2018 to 2020 from CLACSO in Argentina across 35 disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. These titles are now included in the Books at JSTOR Open Access program, which gener- ated more than14 million chapter views and downloads in 2020.
