“I Was Pretty Appalled By This.”: Teaching Students About The Exclusive And Exclusionary Scholarly Publishing Ecosystem, Emily Porter-Fyke Jun 2023

“I Was Pretty Appalled By This.”: Teaching Students About The Exclusive And Exclusionary Scholarly Publishing Ecosystem, Emily Porter-Fyke

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

This conference session is about the design and reception of a research lesson focusing on the importance of understanding biases that are inherent in the research and scholarly publication processes, and how students and faculty can be more intentional in their research process through inclusive language, asking questions about information, and thinking critically about research. The lesson provides foundational information about how the scholarly publishing ecosystem works and how it can (and does) exclude more diverse voices, encourages students to think more deeply about their own identities and how those identities can affect the research they do, and concludes with …


Becoming A “Student Ready” Library: A Conceptual Framework For Engaging The Library In Student Success, Kimberly Sweetman, Jennifer Carroll Jun 2023

Becoming A “Student Ready” Library: A Conceptual Framework For Engaging The Library In Student Success, Kimberly Sweetman, Jennifer Carroll

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

There is currently a lot of emphasis in higher education on accessibility, student success, and retention and as librarians, we know the library plays an important role in these initiatives. We have always understood how integral we are, but we still struggle with helping other areas of campus to understand our unique role and how it complements theirs. To focus our work while also connecting it more closely with other student success initiatives on campus, we have applied a framework that is under discussion for higher education in general, the "Student Ready College," to the library setting in particular. A …

Taking A Snapshot Of The Academic Library Needs Of Esl/Multilingual First Generation College Students, Kieran Ayton, Laura Faria Tancinco

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

This poster ties into the conference themes of making the library "accessible" to all students (focusing on ESL/MLL student populations) and providing interactive and engaging instruction that holds attention.
While there has been a significant amount of research on how academic librarians can work with multilingual international students, there is a gap in the literature for how academic librarians can best serve multilingual/ESL learners who have completed some or all of their education in the U.S. The learning objective of this poster is to demonstrate the way academic librarians can collaborate with ESL/multilingual learner (MLL) instructors to assess the academic …

We've Failed At Diversifying Our Librarian Ranks, Now What ? A Plan For Addressing The "Pipeline" Problem, Annie Sollinger, Isabel Espinal, Pete Smith, Kate Freedman

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

Like many libraries, at our library, we have tried for many years to racially diversify our profession. One of our librarians even made it to the Library Journal " Movers & Shakers" list for raising awareness of the library profession to students of color through presentations, videos, dinners, and icebreaking activities. But despite our intentions and past efforts, the situation has not improved significantly. Let's face it, we have all failed miserably: currently, the racial composition of librarianship, both at our library and in the librarian profession-at-large, is woefully unrepresentative of the United States’ population. Moreover, despite numerous analyses of …
