Eric Ely – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2023
In a political climate in which intellectual freedom and Critical Race Theory (CRT), among other concepts, are under attack, courses with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content are especially relevant.

Richardson, John V., Jr. – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2015
The author believes that Jesse Shera had the prescient ability to know the fads and fancies of higher education. Yet, some, if not many of the twenty-three titles he listed in 1969 as being useful to understand higher education, are not ones to readily reach for today. In this article, the author lists four successor titles as the ones he would…

Dunkin, Paul S. – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2015
In this article the author discusses the evolution of the profession of librarianship and the compromise of educating librarians in schools instead of by apprenticeship.
