Call for chapters: Teaching the Whole Student: Compassionate Instruction in the Academic Library

There is a call for chapters for a book to be published by ACRL and edited by Elena Rodriguez: Teaching the Whole Student: Compassionate Instruction in the Academic Library. Deadline for proposals is 15 September 2023.
"Compassionate instruction ... creates space in the classroom for the “whole student” to be seen and supported. It encourages their success and well-being by taking into consideration that there are both known and unknown challenges that affect and impact their ability to succeed, and it helps remove barriers, so students do not face challenges in a silo." The call for proposals is here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N9vX1iJqbzqnkYomGifTEC826VcPYQLzBwU1snfTtnk/edit

Image created by Sheila Webber on the AI image generator Midjourney, using the book title as a prompt. This was the one that most prominently featured a human being: all the generated images had rows of books stretching to infinity, and most didn't have any humans at all. This may mean that academic librares need to stop putting photos of bookshelves on their websites, if they want to change their image.
