Harvard's Widener Library has long served as a sanctuary for learning and intellectual pursuit on Cambridge campus. Recently, this institution found itself at the center of controversy when faculty members conducted a "silent study-in" protest in its main reading room, challenging the library's fundamental role as a neutral space for scholarship. The ensuing suspension of faculty library access has sparked a crucial debate about the delicate balance between political expression and preserving spaces dedicated to undisturbed academic pursuit. Samuel Abrams from Sarah Lawrence College shares that while Harvard's libraries have always been platforms for diverse ideas within their collections, the question of whether their physical spaces should remain politically neutral touches on the core mission of academic libraries as welcoming havens for all seekers of knowledge.

Serving Hispanic, Latine, and Latinx Students in Academic Libraries (Library Juice Press, 2024) is a collection of essays written by library workers that highlights academic library practices, programs, and services that support Hispanic, Latine, and Latinx students. As of 2020, there were over 500 federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) in the United States and Puerto Rico with another 300 designated as “emerging”. But this is only part of the picture; there are many more institutions of higher education with large Latinx populations that do not have this designation. In this book, editors Sommer Browning and M. Isabel Soto-Luna bring together contributions that draw attention to the important and exciting work being done in the libraries of these community colleges and research-centered institutions. With chapters on information literacy, special collections, collection management, critical pedagogy, and many others, this is an essential book for library workers searching for new programs and fresh ways to support their Hispanic and Latine students. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. Jen edits for Partnership Journal and organizes with the TPS Collective. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom and The Social Movement Archive. Learn more about your ad choices.

The concept of academic libraries has evolved from humble beginnings five thousand years ago to the expansive network that exists today in public schools, colleges, and universities across the United States. It's easy to see why libraries are worth supporting. They continue to facilitate academic excellence, embrace advancements in technology and foster community and collaboration. Still, looking ahead, academic libraries face several significant challenges, including – perhaps most importantly – the significant cost for their support.     Championing the cause of libraries is the mission of our latest guest on the “Ideas to Innovation Season 3” podcast from Clarivate. John Chrastka serves as executive director of EveryLibrary, a non-profit group that builds voter support for academic libraries and helps them secure funding as well. To advance this mission, Clarivate recently announced a partnership with EveryLibrary that leverages the strengths of the two organizations through dedicated resources and advocacy. John is long-time library trustee, supporter and advocate for academic libraries. Prior to his current role, he served as former partner in AssociaDirect, a Chicago, Illinois-based consultancy focused on support associations in membership recruitment, conference, and governance activities. 

Cynthia Rodriguez, Director of Library Services at Laredo College Libraries, and chair-elect of the Texas Council of Academic Libraries, is our guest for this episode. She shares all the reasons we're excited for the upcoming TCAL annual conference, Sept 18-19 in College Station, from networking with other academic library leaders to the keynote address from Dr. Michelle Cantu-Wilson.

On this episode of the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast, Dr. Julie Evener joins the podcast to discuss her experience in starting and growing a peer-reviewed journal. She shares her passion for open access publishing and the importance of making research more accessible. Dr. Evener provides insights into the process of starting a journal, including finding a niche, building an editorial board, and creating policies and guidelines. She also offers advice for authors looking to submit articles for publication and highlights the red flags to watch out for with predatory journals.Key Takeaways:- Starting a journal requires patience and a realistic understanding of the time commitment involved.- It is important to find a niche and offer something unique in the journal's aims and scope.- Open access publishing makes research more accessible and promotes progress in the field.- When submitting an article, ensure it is a good fit for the journal and follow the author guidelines.- Red flags for predatory journals include unsolicited emails, unclear fees, and lack of reputable affiliations.Dr. Julie Evener is the Director for Content Management & Discovery at USF Health Libraries. She is also an associate editor of the new Journal of Innovation in Health Sciences Education (JIHSE). Dr. Evener earned her doctorate in higher education leadership from Walden University, and her master's degree in library and information science from the University of South Carolina. She has 15 years of experience working and leading in health sciences libraries.You can find out more information at: https://soar.usa.edu/jihse/Feel free to contact Dr. Evener at: jevener1@usf.EduSpecial thanks to both our sponsors, The NPTE Final Frontier, and Varela Financial!

Today's topic asks whether toxic leadership is terminal. The answer is no, toxic leadership can be addressed successfully and replaced with transformational policies and practices. Dr. Shaunta refers to Alma Ortega's six scenarios that are not toxic leadership from Ortega's book Academic Libraries and Toxic Leadership (2017). These scenarios inspire leaders to think more broadly about defining toxic leadership beyond opinions and experiences. Dynamic leaders with high and reasonable expectations Self-starters who value discipline and set realistic deadlines Absences for good reasons, such as overlapping duties on committees Leaders who ask for transparency when teams do not fulfill responsibilities Personality clashes Incompetence References mentioned: Academic Libraries and Toxic Leadership by Alma Ortega; Transforming Toxic Leaders by Alan Goldman The Leaders Lead, Leaders Read Podcast is sponsored by the Center for Legacy Driven Leadership.

TW: Körperliche Gewalt an Kindern, Gewaltbeschreibung, Selbstverletzendes Verhalten. Diese Folge ist nichts für schwache Nerven! Marina Abramović bezeichnet sich selbst als „Großmutter der Performancekunst“. Sie war Teil der frühsten Experimente mit Performances und ist eine der wenigen Pionier*innen dieser Generation, die bis heute immer noch Werke schafft. Sie machte sich in den 70ern einen Namen, in dem sie sich körperlich und mental selbst malträtierte und die Grenzen ihres Körpers auslotete. Ihre dramatischen und gefährlichen Darbietungen überschritten meistens die Grenze der Distanz zwischen Künstlerin und Publikum, wodurch es Teil der Performance wurde. Besonderer Dank geht an meinen Special Guest

Artificial intelligence (AI) no longer exists solely in the realm of science fiction—it's everywhere. From virtual assistants in smart phones and self-driving cars to data-crunching machine learning programs, AI is changing how we live and work. And it's now being used in libraries across the country. In Episode 37, Dewey Decibel looks at how two academic libraries are using AI to reach students and help advance research. First, Dewey Decibel host and American Libraries Senior Editor Phil Morehart speaks with Nicole Coleman, digital research architect at Stanford University Libraries, about the importance of AI for libraries and the university's multiple AI programs. Then Morehart talks with Boyhun Kim, chief technology officer and associate professor at University of Rhode Island Libraries, about the university's AI lab for students and faculty, as well as tips for libraries interested in exploring AI.

ATG Media is pleased to recognize the first ever recipients for the Up and Comers award with a series of interviews on the ATG Podcast. Who exactly is an “Up and Comer,” you ask?  They are librarians, library staff, vendors, publishers, MLIS students, instructors, consultants, and researchers who are new to their field or are in the early years of the profession.   Up and Comers are passionate about the future of libraries.  They innovate, inspire, collaborate, and take risks.  They are future library leaders and change makers, and we are excited to celebrate them with this award. There were 20 recipients of the award for 2017 that were announced just prior to the 2017 Charleston Conference.  Each episode, we’ll feature 3 – 4 short interviews with different award recipients. We have a standard list of 5 questions for each one, and a custom question based on their activities or interests that were listed in the profiles in Against the Grain.  Interview Questions for all UCs: Tell us a bit about how you arrived in your career? What is a change you hope to make in our profession? What do you think our industry will look like in 5-10 years? Significant changes? What are you reading at the moment? What advice would you give to students interested in careers in librarianship or information studies? Custom question First up we welcome Anna Boutin-Cooper to the podcast.

Big Data 2.0: Critical Roles for Libraries and Librarians Big Data is a live issue in e-commerce and market intelligence, e-government and politics, national security, and smart healthcare; a key feature of digital scholarship and open science; and an emergent concern for education and the cultural heritage sectors. Big Data 2.0 raises the stakes: the convergence of e-science with business intelligence, crowdsourcing, data analytics, social media, and Web2.0 technologies allows broader and deeper applications, involving cooperative processing of structured and unstructured data. Hype around the "data talent gap" highlights a shortage of candidates for data science jobs with the requisite computational and analytical skills, but informed observers point to an equally critical need for competence in digital curation to ensure proper stewardship of data, best done by institutions with preservation know-how. Libraries already provide data literacy education, research data services, data mining support, and open linked data, but should now engage with the Big Data initiatives launched in the US and globally as collaborative, interdisciplinary, cross-sector endeavors predicated on large-scale community participation. The session explains how data-intensive research is moving to new levels of technical and organizational complexity, promising advances in human knowledge for the benefit of society, but raising critical issues for institutions and individuals relevant to information professionals.

After almost a year of providing exposure to the 2012 ACRL’s Diversity Standards for Academic Libraries, the presenters will review lessons learned, accomplishments, opportunities, and diversity trends for academic libraries. The diversity standards were developed by the Racial and Ethnic Diversity Committee of ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries), based on the 2001 National Association of Social Workers Standards for Cultural Competence in Social Work Practice. The standards are intended to emphasize the need and obligation to serve and advocate for racial and ethnically diverse constituencies. As such, they are intended to apply to all libraries supporting academic programs at institutions of higher education. Diversity is an essential component of any civil society. It is more than a moral imperative; it is a global necessity. Everyone can benefit from diversity, and diverse populations need to be supported so they can reach their full potential for themselves and their communities. As visionary leaders open to change, new ideas, and global perspectives, ACRL is committed to diversity of people and ideas, as noted in its 2007 White Papers. With that regard, ACRL understands that if libraries are to continue being indispensable organizations in their campus communities, they must reflect the communities they serve and provide quality services to their increasingly diverse constituencies.

Are cults headed by greedy, demented leaders that lure the gullible and enthrall them using mind-control tactics? Are their followers the emotionally vulnerable who live on the fringes of society? Remember Jonestown? What draws people to cults or new religious movements? Is it that a growing number of people are disenchanted by the teachings of the old religions and are more attracted to belief systems offering benefits now, rather than in the promised hereafter? Tom Cruise and John Travolta are members of the Church of Scientology. Do Scientologists believe in space aliens? Who is Xenu? What does Scientology teach about sex? Who are the Children of God/The Family? Is there any evidence that their communal lifestyle and preference for educating their offspring at home is inhibiting the full development of their children? Speaker: Professor Stephen Kent Professor Kent researches new and alternative religions, often combining perspectives from sociology with religious studies. He is the author of the book “From Slogans to Mantras: Social Protest and Religious Conversion in the late Vietnam War Era”, which was selected by Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries as an outstanding academic title for 2002. He has published numerous articles over the last decade dealing with Scientology, the Children of God/The Family, and newer faiths operating in Canada and elsewhere. Professor Kent teaches at the University of Alberta's Department of Sociology.
