By incorporating AO3 into library instruction, students’ interests and prior experiences were engaged by utilizing the principles of subcultural capital.

Hidden Barriers: The Experience Of Academic Librarians And Archivists With Invisible Illnesses And/Or Disabilities, Katelyn Quirin Manwiller, Amelia Anderson, Heather Crozier, Samantha Peter

University Libraries Faculty Publications

This study documents the experience of, and identifies professional barriers for, academic librarians and archivists with invisible illnesses and/or disabilities. Results from a survey of MLIS-holding individuals in academic positions indicate that invisible illness or disability often impacts the ability to succeed at work, but many are reluctant to disclose or request accommodations to alleviate those disparities. Respondents reported barriers including professional repercussions for disclosure, difficulty during the hiring process, stigma from supervisors and colleagues after requesting accommodations, and an overall lack of understanding about invisible illness and disability in the profession.

Exploring Academic Librarians' Perception Of Oer Through The Lens Of Technology Acceptance Model, Yingqi Tang, Hungwei Tseng

Research, Publications & Creative Work

Academic librarians' professional skills make them an ideal candidate to work with faculty in the exploration, adoption, promotion, and preservation of open educational resources (OER). This study used the technology acceptance model (TAM) to explain and predict librarians' attitudes towards OER and their intentions towards utilization in instructional design practices and teaching pedagogies. A total of 213 academic librarians participated in the mixed-methods design study. The results reveal that perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), and self-efficacy (SE) as it relates to OER accounted for 51 % of the variance in librarians' attitude (AT) towards OER. Moreover, librarians' …

This paper explores which key elements should be included in an effective file format strategy and the different ways such data can be …

As we write this editorial for this special issue, we are amidst the significant technological changes that are continuing to shape society.

There is growing debate and discussion about the promise and perils of generative AI for the future of work, and academia is not immune. Premier journals in the IS domain, such as Information Systems Research, have published editorials …
