Recent articles: Outcomes; Disinformation; Print/digital preferences; Social media evaluation; Searching as strategic exploration

I need to catch up on articles from the Journal of Academic Librarianship (a priced publication)! The last 2 issues of Volume 49 (2023), include the following:
- Miller, K. Kaufmann, K. & Trnka, R.E. (2023). Measuring outcomes: Information literacy instruction assessment in a cross-institutional study. The Journal of Academic Librarianship, 49(6), article 102796. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acalib.2023.102796.
- Chomintra, M. (2023) Assessing the use of critical literacies in mis/disinformation literacy instruction. The Journal of Academic Librarianship, 49(5), article 102762. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acalib.2023.102762. Rather curiously this article posits in the abstract that "The approaches to mis/disinformation in libraries and information studies have largely been grounded in two forms of literacy education; media literacy and digital literacy" but it is interesting in taking selected lesson plans uploaded to the ACRL sandbox and project CORA and doing a text analysis, including for Equity diversity inclusion and social justice terms.

"The findings highlighted significant differences in the evaluation of social media information following the implementation of the CCOW information literacy approach."
