crln: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called crln.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• One size does not fit all: Maintaining relevancy in the modern makerspace movement by Mathuews, Katy; Harper, Daniel (2018) - These attempts, however, can lead to a one-size-fits-all approach that considers the library as a lender or provider of equipment instead of a collaborator in the multidisciplinary and dynamic making process.3 While inclusive service is woven into the very fabric of libraries, such a broad approach may render library makerspace design too general for academic library patrons who, in reality, are studying within specialized fields of scholarship and dynamic creative processes. When designing library makerspaces, then, it is essential to engage with campus makers and collaborators to understand the practical and pedagogical needs of the multitude of disciplines to ensure the library fills a true needs gap on campus.

• WASHINGTON HOTLINE by Henderson, Carol (1981) - The Tanis surveys indicate that the 1969 Tax Reform Act has definitely limited accessibility of manuscript collections through 1) reduced donations of original works of contemporary literature, art, and music, 2) restricted use policies mandated by donors in cases where donations have been accepted on deposit as well as the reluctance of libraries to fully process deposit collec­ tions which may later be withdrawn, 3) illogical locations, divided collections and separation of collections from closely related materials, and 4) the com­ plete loss to researchers of many valuable materials either through inaccessible private collections or through accident or neglect. S. 852 would probably not reverse the decline in contemporary manuscript donations because its applicability is limited to sales of compositions. Keywords: deduction; libraries; tax

• Affordable course content: A cross-unit collaboration to develop institution-wide strategies at the University of Maryland by White, Gary W.; Warneka, Mary E. (2023) - Shanna Jaggers et al. define affordable course materials to include licensed library materials, text- books, OER, and inclusive access commercial textbooks whereby course materials are made available to students by the first day of class for a flat rate that all students would pay.5 The group decided to take a very broad perspective and included additional learning sources such as coursepacks, instructor-created learning assets, and open source quizzes, data sets, and practice problems. The same study reported instances of students taking fewer courses, not registering for spe- cific courses, earning a poor grade, or dropping a course because of the cost of textbooks.1 This message of avoiding purchases or suffering undue hardship to buy course materials is echoed again and again throughout the nation: • 80% of students at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report not buying textbooks or access codes due to cost.2 • 66% of students report avoid buying course materials due to cost, significant numbers report working extra hours, skipping meals, or selecting (or avoiding) courses based on course content costs.3 At the University of Maryland, we see evidence of this problem as well.

• A call for sustainable library operations and services: A response to ACRL’s 2007 environmental scan by Jankowska, Maria Anna (2008) - june08b.indd the way I see it Maria Anna Jankowska A call for sustainable library operations and services A response to ACRL’s 2007 environmental scan In ACRL’s “Environmental Scan 2007” (re­leased January 2008 by the ACRL Research Committee), there was no mention of the environmental sustainable development of academic libraries.1 I find the omission dis­ concerting as I watch piles of printed e­mail and unwanted books thrown out, library users printing page after page of documents, old computers and technologies being discarded, and no serious accounting of what type and how much energy is used in academic libraries on a daily basis. Academic libraries are ironic places of contradiction: environmental consumption within libraries is skyrocketing, but the very model of a library is built on sustainability.

• Virtual bookplates: Enhancing donor recognition and library development by Carrico, Steven; Fleming, Jason; Simpson, Betsy (2010) - To offset the problems associated with print bookplates, a team of technical services librarians launched a project in 2008 to create and display virtual bookplates for gifts and endowments from imbedded links in the library’s OPAC (see Figure 1). Procedures used by catalog- ers to add donor text to bibliographic records are available at the University of Colorado5 and the University of Maine.6 The University of Pennsylvania has expanded on this con- cept by creating a link in the online catalog for every title purchased with an endowment that routes to a Web page with details on the donor and fund used to purchase the item.7 At the University of Michigan-Dearborn, donor names in the catalog are linked to a bookplate page, and a 710 field is used to bring together all donations for a particular year, i.e., “Library donation, 2009.”8 Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Medical Library recognizes e-book donors on the Web,9 while Brown University’s use of virtual bookplates involves linking from the catalog record to a bookplate display generated from a database containing detailed information about the donor as well as the endowment, cash gift, or in-kind gift.10 In a presentation at the 2008 Innovative Users Group Conference, Brown University librarians cited a 63 percent increase in new gifts to the library endowment in the year following the introduction of their digital bookplate program.

• The lives of books: Legacy print collections and the learning-centered library by Bluemle, Stefanie R.; Tracy, Carla B. (2014) - Scott Bennett not long ago defined the change in “paradigms” from “book-centered” to “learning-centered” libraries: put simply, as libraries undergo the shift from print to largely digital information, and students no longer need to visit library buildings to obtain many research materials, the purpose of library spaces will change as well to facilitate learning rather than storage of books.5 The problem many academic libraries, in- cluding smaller ones, face is that they are still crowded with their legacy print collections, even as information becomes more and more easily available and students’ learning styles demand better study areas and a variety of academic support systems.6 Very few of these institutions have the resources to construct and staff a proper storage facility. But even more important is the event’s historical moment, a time when an over-abundance of print has crowded college libraries, even as transformations in the delivery of information and undergraduate education itself necessitate reimagining those libraries’ very purpose.

• C&RL Spotlight by Walter, Scott (2015) - In “The McDonaldization of Academic Libraries and the Values of Transformational Change,” Karen Nicholson (University of Guelph) argues that the idea of “McDonaldiza- tion,” as applied to academic libraries by Brian Quinn in 2000, continues to shape the language of library research and practice. Looking back over 15 years during which concerns over “the growing influence of corporate aims and val- ues” in higher education have only increased, Nicholson concludes that the trends identified by Quinn continue to shape academic library practice and that his critique of library leader- ship “largely foreshadows the current state of academic libraries,” including their focus on accountability; return-on-investment; learning analytics; and the standards, guidelines, out- comes, and performance indicators that “[make] libraries increasingly predictable.” Keywords: libraries; library; office; research; role; university

• Money, sex, and reputation in doctoral programs in library science by Swigger, Keith (1991) - I n the last 20 years, various attempts have been made to rank library schools in terms of qual­ity. Reputation rankings have also been criticized by Webster, who makes the following objections: rat­ ings are subject to the halo effect, in which the overall reputation of an institution affects the rank­ ing of individual departments; ratings lag several years behind reality, so the reputation of a school may be based on events, persons, or activities that are no longer a significant part of a program; schol­ ars from the nation’s leading universities serve in disproportionately large numbers as raters, and they tend to rank highly departments of the same type and with the same emphases as their own universities have.4 Herubel demonstrates there is considerable overlap between the list of schools of high repute and the list of schools from which the faculties of library science programs (who rate the schools) received their degrees.5 There have been several attempts to relate quantitative variables to reputation.

• Teaching information literacy: Developing an online course for faculty by Hammons, Jane (2020) - July/August 2020 337 C&RL News As part of the profession’s ongoing efforts to integrate information literacy into the curriculum, some librarians have taken an approach centered on teaching disciplinary faculty to teach information literacy. Indeed, some have argued that the best way for librar- ians to ensure that students are developing information literacy is to focus primarily on faculty, rather than on providing instruction to students.1 Although most librarians do not seem prepared to stop all direct instruction to students, there are many examples of libraries offering faculty development programming.2 While many of these programs involve face- to-face interactions between librarians and disciplinary faculty, there are examples of librarians creating online information literacy workshops or courses for faculty.3 In this article I will outline the develop- ment of an online, self-paced information literacy course, intended to help course instructors incorporate information literacy into their teaching practices.

• Valuing the everyday: Using experiential scenarios to evaluate information by Douglas, Veronica Arellano; Deal, Emily; Hernandez, Carolina (2021) - as the vehicle to promote student learning of concepts and principles”—in our learning activity.3 Where perhaps we differed from other IL learning activities in our application of problem-based learning is that we were less concerned with answers or solutions and more focused on uncovering the thought- processes by which students make evaluative judgements of information. At the time, information evaluation in FYW was taught as more of a checklist, where students brain- stormed evaluative criteria and then used the criteria to evaluate an article.

• Incompatible with the Framework: State Laws Targeting DEI, LGBTQIA2s+, and CRT by Vong, Silvia; Choie, Mandy; Poo, Adriana; Irwin, Ken; Yang, Anna; ness, cristalan “tal” (2024) - The anti-DEI, anti-CRT, and anti-LGBTQIA2s+ legislation impedes this very principle of intellectual freedom and in turn, information literacy. From a pedagogical perspective, limiting discussions and ideas may create a learning environment that draws heavily on the banking model of education where librarians are viewed as the authority on knowledge27 and reinforces the exclusion and silencing of underrepresented people’s voices.28 Conclusion While many of the anti-CRT, anti-DEI, and anti-LGBTQIA2s+ bills related to teaching in higher education were withdrawn due to missed deadlines (e.g., OK HB3135) or failed (e.g., OR HB2475), it’s essential to consider the potential ramifications of these bills and acts on students entering publicly funded higher education institutions.

• Walking a mile in their shoes: Librarians as teaching faculty by Balcziunas, Adam; Gordon, Larissa (2012) - Studies, such as the Ithaka S+R Library Survey, have shown that “faculty respondents place strong value in the traditional functions of the library as an institution that collects and maintains collections for research,” while librarians focus more on the services they provide, and their role as teachers and educators.2 Being able to speak the same language as faculty members has, we be- lieve, helped faculty to learn to see us more as true educators on campus. This increased connection with faculty members also likely came about because librarians are attending more professional development training sessions, teaching and learning discussions, and curriculum information sessions on campus.

• The Humanities in process, not crisis: Information literacy as a means of low-stakes course innovation by Jumonville, Anne (2014) - While digital humanities projects offer creative approaches to these issues on a large scale, they have not always articulated pedagogical approaches relevant to undergraduate learners, especially at smaller institutions.1 By examining “the humanities” from another angle—innovative teaching and learning at the undergraduate level through the incorporation of information literacy— we find a different narrative about ways that humanities faculty are engaging these trends productively and in pedagogically interesting ways. While we have some insight on the integration of information literacy and the humanities broadly conceived thanks to ar- ticles like Ellen Daugman, Leslie McCall, and Kaeley McMahan’s “Designing and imple- menting an information literacy course in the Humanities,” most research and reporting on information literacy in the humanities focuses on course-specific and/or librarian- led efforts.3 Keywords: assignment; course; humanities; information; literacy; sources; students

• “We aren’t just the kids that sit at the front”: Rethinking student employee training by Evanson, Cara (2015) - Traditionally, training programs for student library employees have primarily addressed students in their “employee” role by providing them with advanced responsi- bilities and projects,1 ensuring accuracy in library tasks,2 and encouraging professional workplace behavior.3 While these are essen- tial aspects of student employment, our ex- perience at Davidson College Library suggests students can benefit from a training program that more fully integrates the “student” role of student employees. A question we need to explore further is how much of student employee training should be spent on our long-term student learning objectives, and how much on the skills they need as employees.
