“What Not To Buy: How To Identify Books Likely To Be Unread Before Purchase.”, Tony Greiner

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This study sought to determine if there is a way to predict, before purchase, books likely to never be used in academic libraries. An unweeded community college library was selected and a random sample of unused books was compared to a second sample of items that had checked out at least three times. Two characteristics associated with non-use were found. The first characteristic was that small holdings in LC Classification ranges were associated with low book use. The second predictor was that the book came from a university or academic publisher. The academic book variable was tested against the holdings …

Social technologies have changed the way we communicate allowing users to interact, share knowledge, reach out to friends and family, keep up with the news, and even promote and support a business.

Teaching And Un-Teaching Source Evaluation: Questioning Authority In Information Literacy Instruction, Katelyn Angell, Eamon Tewell

Brooklyn Library Faculty Publications

This study details the design of library instruction sessions for undergraduate students that intended to encourage critical source evaluation and the questioning of established authorities, and appraises these instructional aims through a thematic analysis of 148 artifacts containing student responses to group and individual activities. The authors found a widespread reliance on traditional indicators of academic and scholarly authority, though some students expressed more personal or complex understandings of source evaluation, trustworthiness, and authorship. Based on the findings, recommendations are made for academic librarians interested in promoting learners’ senses of agency and authority.

University Libraries Faculty Publications

Long Island University (LIU) is a private institution serving approximately 18,000 students at its two primary campuses located in Brooklyn, New York, and Brookville, New York. The LIU Libraries conducted a multi-year research project beginning in 2012 to better understand undergraduate and graduate-student study habits at its urban and suburban campuses. Based upon the understanding of ethnography as one of the best ways to explore a “culture”—in this case, the culture of LIU student research habits—this project’s intent was to improve the libraries’ understanding of student research and study needs. The study examined research practices from students’ perspectives in order …
