From Unfamiliar To Indispensable: Supporting Systematic Reviews With Free Tools, Ai, And Evidence-Based Thinking Across Disciplines, Kathryn Junco

Georgia Library Quarterly

As systematic reviews become increasingly common in graduate education—particularly in health sciences programs—librarians are often called upon to support students and faculty undertaking these complex research projects. This article outlines a practical, evolving approach to building librarian support for systematic reviews, developed in response to program needs and professional learning. It highlights strategies for designing low-barrier instruction, guiding students through foundational concepts like structured research questions and transparent search methods, and introducing free tools such as Rayyan and Mendeley to streamline the process. The article also explores the emerging role of artificial intelligence in evidence synthesis, offering a cautious but …


Eugene Talmadge’S Library Book Purge Of 1941, David B. Parker Nov 2025

Eugene Talmadge’S Library Book Purge Of 1941, David B. Parker

Georgia Library Quarterly

In Summer 1941, Governor Eugene Talmadge ordered a purging of 23 books from Georgia’s public school libraries. The books covered several subjects: race relations, sex education, evolution, South-bashing, states’ rights, communism, and more. He was planning on running for a US Senate seat in 1942, and perhaps he did this to attract voter support—showing that he would protect the state’s traditional values from various modern threats. There was immediate opposition, with many people comparing Talmadge’s ban to German Nazism.

Poster: Grassroots Only Goes So Far: Why Your Oer Needs A Strategic Marketing And Promotion Plan, Chelsee Dickson, Sabrina Davis, Kristina Clement, Femi Jayeola, Jin Jo

KSU Grey Literature

Promotion, marketing, and sustainability aren’t often considered factors in the creation or adoption of open educational resources (OER). OER authors often avoid crafting a marketing or promotion plan for their newly created materials, as the presenters found in a previous research study funded by an Affordable Learning Georgia (ALG) research grant. The presenters received a grant to understand why authors and supporters do not consider promotion and sustainability plans as an integral aspect of OER creation and adaptation. The presenters interviewed OER creators and librarians who support OER (collectively, OER champions). The study aimed to understand the phenomenon of the …

The Teaching Librarian's Role In College Reading, Lori Spradley Oct 2025

The Teaching Librarian's Role In College Reading, Lori Spradley

The Southeastern Librarian

Reading is an essential function for everything people learn. The main goal of reading is for readers to interpret, comprehend, and receive meaning from the text. Academic reading differs from standard reading. It is a complex form implemented throughout all subjects in higher educational institutions. Academic reading involves a detailed and critical approach, whereas standard reading is casual and typically involves briefly skimming over information. Students entering college are often unprepared to comprehend the complicated reading materials and manage the heavy reading load required for their class assignments. To be successful in college, students must understand different terminology and styles …

Printz Award Titles In Mississippi Public Libraries: A Collection Analysis, Ally Watkins, Harley Rogers, Melissa Dennis

The Southeastern Librarian

The Michael L. Printz Award is presented annually by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) to recognize one book as the Printz Award winner and up to four books as Honor books. In areas of rapid growth like young adult (YA) publishing, librarians may add books recognized by an award as part of their collection development practice. The number of Printz Award winner and Honor books in a Mississippi library’s holdings can be viewed as a standard to see if Mississippi is falling behind or keeping up with trends in young adult publishing. Building on research completed for an …

Peer Review Of Open Educational Resource Textbooks, Todd Seguin, Helen Bischoff Aug 2025

Peer Review Of Open Educational Resource Textbooks, Todd Seguin, Helen Bischoff

The Southeastern Librarian

This article presents an investigation of the state of peer review for Open Educational Resource (OER) Textbooks, which denotes the variability of peer review practices across OER platforms. The environ-mental scan highlights the critical finding that the perception of quality between OER textbooks and commercially published or traditional textbooks is often linked to the presence or absence of a formal, pre-publication peer review process. Findings emphasized a strong preference on behalf of adopters and potential authors of OER textbooks to have a standardized process or guidance for pursuing pre-publication peer review. Thus, there is potential for future researchers, platforms, and …

Now More Important Than Ever: Understanding Censorship, Fighting Book Challenges, And Celebrating Banned Books Week, Rachel Hooper, Stephanie White, Jennifer Long

The Southeastern Librarian

Although censorship is an international problem with a long history, American public and school libraries have faced increased censorship efforts from parents and politicians concerning materials available to children over the past few years. Just this past year, book challenges resulted in heated debates and book removals from the library shelves across the U.S. Now more than ever, it is important to understand censorship, keep abreast of recent legislation and developments, fight book challenges, and celebrate Banned Books Week. While there have been some setbacks in fighting book challenges, library advocates are encouraged by recent success stories. The American Library …
