University Libraries Faculty Scholarship

The interrelated issues of trust, credibility, and authority now present major challenges because of the uncertainty of the social media environment, competing information “bubbles,” and enduring cognitive biases. The accelerating fragmentation of the media and information ecosystems undermines communal understanding of large and complex issues that citizens must face. To address this profound societal challenge, academic librarians should collaborate with faculty members to create communities of inquiry for students—sustained “high impact practices” that address ...

Many tools exist to assist students in gaining background information and limiting search results, but ultimately none replace the need to develop and explore questions ...

Pizza With A Side Of Outreach: Re-Invigorating Library Outreach At Distance Campuses, Teagan Eastman, Erin L. Davis

Library Faculty & Staff Presentations

They raise awareness of library resources and services and ease anxiety about reaching out to the library for assistance, while providing food as an incentive to meet with us.
