New articles from the November issue of open access College and Research Libraries:
Galoozis, E. (2019). Affective Aspects of Instruction Librarians’ Decisions to Adopt New Teaching Practices: Laying the Groundwork for Incremental Change. College & Research Libraries, 80(7), 1036-1050. https://doi.org/10.5860/crl.80.7.1036
"This article addresses the question: How do emotions and emotional labor relate to instruction librarians’ motivations to adopt new teaching practices? Twelve information literacy instruction librarians were interviewed about their motivations to adopt new teaching practices. An initial round of coding was completed using grounded theory, to surface themes of motivations to adopt new teaching practices. In a second round, the themes were retained while further coding was used to identify language reflective of emotion and affective labor, along with five conditions for human motivation identified by Charles J. Walker and Cynthia Symons: competence, autonomy, worthwhile goal-setting, feedback, and affirmation. Using the results of the analysis, suggestions are made for library managers and administrators to lay the groundwork for developing supportive and collegial environments that encourage incremental change and emotional self-reflection."

"Social sciences librarians have an interest in supporting systematic reviews, but the available guidance is focused on health sciences settings. This study contributes guidance specifically for social sciences librarians using the Campbell Collaboration’s standards to evaluate the search methods reported in systematic reviews on K–12 mathematics education. After searching ERIC (EBSCO), Education Source (EBSCO), Academic Search Ultimate (EBSCO), and Compendex (Engineering Village) in April 2018, we included 40 systematic reviews. The reviews were evaluated on the transparency of the reporting and the comprehensiveness of the search as required by the standards. The findings revealed deficiencies in search processes and reporting of search methods. We conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for librarians collaborating with social sciences researchers."

Mathematics and information literacy: chat and article
- Bussmann, J. D., & Bond, J. D. (2015). Information Literacy in Mathematics Undergraduate Education: Where Does It Stand Today? Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 81, DOI:10.5062/F4WM1BD8 http://www.istl.org/15-summer/refereed2.html
- Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL). (2015). Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Retrieved from http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/ilframework
Questions to be discussed include:
- How have you been most successful in teaching information literacy for math students?
- How have you been most challenged?
- Have you made use of the new information literacy framework in your instruction to math students? Have you thought about how to make use of it? Which of the threshold concepts seem most relevant to math students?
The discussion is in Adobe Connect: go to http://ala.adobeconnect.com/r9d5u9fcgv9/
