October 2016 425 C&RL News

Welcome to the October 2016 issue of C&RL News. 
As issues of diversity, inclusion, and social justice 
continue to dominate the news headlines this 
fall, academic libraries also continue their focus 
on these issues, as well. In this issue, Orolando 
Duffus discusses his efforts to bring multicultural 
campus groups together through the library at 
the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. His 
article “The library as an incubator for multicul-
tural awareness and engagement” is a wonderful 
model for library diversity efforts.

Katherine O’Clair of Cal Poly State University 
writes about a personal experience advocating for 
social justice issues while working with students in 
a library instruction context in her The Way I See It 
essay “At the intersection of academic librarianship 
and social justice.” 

In this issue’s ACRL TechConnect feature, Bohyun 
Kim discusses the role of libraries in advocating for 
online privacy in her article “Cybersecurity and digital 
surveillance versus usability and privacy.”

A focus on continuous improvement is an impor-
tant part of making any library program successful. 

At the University of Vermont, librarians introduced 
“The 360° Feedback Model for library instructors” to 
improve teaching. Daisy Benson and Daniel DeSanto 
discuss the program in this issue. 

Katelyn Angell of Long Island University-Brooklyn 
improved her library instruction sessions through a 
clever pop culture exercise. She discuses her assign-
ment in her fabulous article “America’s Next Top 
Citation.”

This month we begin our series of articles leading 
up to the ACRL 2017 conference, being held March 
22-25, 2017, in Baltimore. Barbara G. Preece and Ca-
rissa Tomlinson of the conference Local Arrangements 
Committee kick off the series with an introduction to 
our host city in “Baltimore—Charm City.”

Make sure to check out the rest of our features 
and departments, including a look at “Funding 
open access monographs” by Rupert Gatti and Marc  
Mierowsky of Open Book Publishers in the Scholarly 
Communication column and Internet Resources on 
“Paper ephemera” by E. Richard McKinstry.

Thanks as always for reading the News!
