- Winn, J et al. (2025). Identifying Core DEIA+AR Andragogical Competencies in LIS Education: A Systematic Review. Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 66(2), 174–194. https://doi.org/10.3138/jelis-2023-0079 "By focusing on andragogical practices (the method and practice of teaching adult learners) instead of curricular interventions, educators can ensure that DEIA+AR [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-Racism] is intentionally part of academic programs and in the classrooms. ... This systematic review set out to examine what approaches have been tried, what is being currently done, and whether there are identifiable best andragogical practices that support DEIA+AR in post-secondary education."
- Dow, M. et al. (2025). Cognitive Consequences of Social Presence in Online Asynchronous Learning: A Grounded Theory Study. Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 66(2), 103 - 126. https://doi.org/10.3138/jelis-2024-0024 "In a constructivist grounded theory study, 22 graduate students enrolled in library and information studies programs in eight US higher education institutions were interviewed about their affective feelings in online learning, their perceptions of people as real, knowing what others know and how well they know it, and social conflict monitoring. The findings reveal the need for improvements in online teaching and learning strategies and suggests that instructors should model presenting themselves as real persons through increased use of audio and visual instruction."
