Ethnographic Study Of Information Literacy Librarians’ Work Experience: A Report From Two States, Celene Seymour
Ethnographic Study Of Information Literacy Librarians’ Work Experience: A Report From Two States, Celene Seymour
Dr. Celene L Seymour (retired)
This chapter reports on an ethnographic study of the experiences, practices and feelings of academic librarians who teach information literacy. Based on in-depth interviews with nine librarians who have information literacy responsibilities – five in West Virginia and four in Colorado – it examines the real-life work of practitioners in a wide variety of instructional environments. The research considers participants’ preparation for their instructional role, ambiguity about the concept of information literacy, instructional challenges and professional practices. The authentic voices of instructional librarians provide insights into the roadblocks they face, success they experience and their expectations for the future.

"How I done it good" research papers, while important, often focus on a specialized local case. Added value comes from placing research results within the wider community of library research. Using citation analysis as an example, we share strategies for communicating results in a way that is replicable and comparable. (Poster presentation)

Five Librarians Walk Into A Bar... Keeping Librarianship Vital, Marni R. Harrington, Courtney Waugh, Lise Doucette
Courtney L. Waugh
Often, the most important discussions are not the ones you have in scheduled meetings. In this session we will talk about informal ways to keep librarianship vital, especially in a large multi-library university setting. Take an active approach to shaping the future of our profession, by debating the issues facing librarianship, having uninhibited discussions, and being willing to disagree with colleagues.
