New articles: Misinformation; One-shots

The latest issue (vol 84 no 4) of open access College and Research Libraries includes:
- Librarian Perspectives on Misinformation: A Follow-Up and Comparative Study by Laura Saunders. "While academic librarians have been quick to respond to the crisis of misinformation through information literacy instruction and tool development, little research exists on the extent to which they are teaching news literacy skills in the classroom. This study explores academic librarians’ perspectives on misinformation and whether they are addressing misinformation in their teaching. The results are compared to a previous study on faculty perspectives. Findings show that librarians are concerned about misinformation and are integrating it into their instruction."
- Reflection and Transfer Learning in the One-Shot: Demonstrating Student Learning by Karleigh Riesen, Sara Maurice Whitver. "This study examines the use of reflection as a learning theory within the one-shot library instruction classroom to facilitate metacognition and transfer learning. Through the analysis of student work, researchers demonstrate that students connect past skills with current learning and are able to assess what they know and what they need."
