Andrew Shenton – Journal of Information Literacy, 2023
Paul Zurkowski is often considered the "father" of the term, "information literacy" (IL). There were, however, other authors who, at a similar time, were writing about concepts we now consider fundamental to the nature of IL. A work of particular significance is Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock." In this classic text --…

Seale, Maura; Hicks, Alison; Nicholson, Karen P. – College & Research Libraries, 2022
In the past decade, cataloguing and classification and information literacy have experienced a critical turn, acknowledging the political, economic, and social forces that shape complex information environments. Library user experience (UX) has yet to undergo such a transformation, however; instead, it continues to be seen as a toolkit of…

Hewitt, Alex – Journal of Information Literacy, 2023
While significant progress has been made in broadening information literacy's (IL's) scope, its conception of the user and their relationship to information remains painfully limited. This is particularly evident when the affective or emotional factors of information seeking behaviour are considered. Thus far, IL's models and discourses have…

This paper extends Critical Race Feminista Methodological (CRFM) approaches by contending that "convivencias" -- the coexistence necessary for creating relationships in the field -- are an integral part of engaging research collaborators within educational historical research. Drawing on oral histories with Chicana/o librarians, personal…

Noah Lenstra; Nicole Peritore – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2024
This article introduces the Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach to the LIS community to propose a new way of thinking and teaching about how health is supported in public libraries. The topic of consumer health literacy has been a mainstay in the discourse of public librarianship, but we argue that this approach has not fully supported public…

Chancellor, Renate L.; DeLoach, Paige; Dunbar, Anthony; Lee, Shari; Singh, Rajesh – Education for Information, 2021
The death of George Floyd, at the hands of the Minnesota police on May 25, 2020, sparked a global uproar that many have argued has not occurred since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. It is unclear why this particular incident elicited such a visceral and widespread response, especially in light of the fact that police brutality towards…

Alex H. Poole; Denise Agosto; Xia Lin; Erjia Yan – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2022
This article argues for the usefulness of experiential learning as a vehicle for democratic civic engagement in North American library and information science programs. First, we explore the literature on service learning, traditionally the primary type of experiential learning in LIS. We define and provide historical context and scrutinize…

Poole, Alex H.; Agosto, Denise; Greenberg, Jane; Lin, Xia; Yan, Erjia – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2021
The field of LIS continues to face a vexing paradox. Its longstanding ideal of and concomitant commitment to serving diverse communities and users equally has failed to translate into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the profession or in LIS education. This article analyzes efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in North…

Gray, LaVerne; Mehra, Bharat – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2021
This article presents a critique of systemic library and information science (LIS) education and its hegemonic "White-IST" (White + elitist) discourse prevalent across the conceptualization and implementation of doctoral programs in the United States. The text illuminates the structural aspects of the doctoral experience embedded in (yet…
