crln-9200	Walter, Scott	C&RL Spotlight	2014	2	.pdf	application/pdf	987	32	43	While a quick search of the opening-day collection available through Usable Knowl- edge shows little attention to libraries, per se (although a study of the impact of summer reading programs on literacy education sug- gests some areas of overlapping interest), the model highlights a question that has always been central to College & Research Libraries and to the ACRL research program, in general: How effective are we in translating research projects into information that can be employed by practitioners to improve their own work and to enhance their impact on teaching, learning, and scholarship at the local level?2 As we approach the conclusion of our first year as an all-digital publication, the members of the C&RL editorial board are reviewing our initial forays into expanding the reach of journal content through social media and considering how the journal might serve to provide “usable knowledge” for the ACRL membership. The launch of Usable Knowledge and the upcom- ing celebration of ACRL’s 75th anniversary provide an ideal context for our membership to ask how the research we support and the research results that we publish help us to be better librarians, educators, and administrators.	cache/crln-9200.pdf	txt/crln-9200.txt
