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. Examining Library and Information Studies (LIS) curriculum within the United States, scholars have repeatedly found DEI content, despite…

Iulian Vamanu – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2023
This article argues that the MLIS curriculum should offer information ethics courses that enable future information professionals to develop their imaginative powers through close study and discussion of fiction. LIS students reading ethical theory and fiction bring the two into conversation and as a result reach a better understanding of both.…

Jade G. Winn; Melissa L. Miller; Jane J. Kim; Robert A. Rosas; Ashley R. Temm; Ruth Wallach – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2025
With 22 states recently passing legislation attacking diversity programs and initiatives on college campuses, it is now, more than ever, important for educators to find a way to protect and foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-Racism (DEIA+AR) in postsecondary education in order to prepare graduates to participate in a…

Kogut, Ashlynn; Ramirez, Diana; Foster, Margaret J. – New Review of Academic Librarianship, 2022
Education librarians are receiving an increasing number of requests to help researchers with systematic reviews.

Burns, Elizabeth A. – School Library Research, 2020
Reflection is a skill educators of school librarians hope to foster in their students. Widely used in teacher preparation (Hodgins 2014), reflective journaling is a pedagogical strategy that aligns with the text-based nature of library and information studies coursework, especially as more library schools move online (Kymes and Ray 2012). This…

Laura Saunders; Stephen Bajjaly – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2022
Soft skills, or intra- and interpersonal skills such as writing, customer service, and flexibility, are highly sought by library and information science employers. A perceived gap in soft skills has led to suggestions that LIS programs are not adequately addressing these skills in their curricula, and to calls for them to do more. However, no…

Caspe, Margaret; Lopez, M. Elena – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2018
Many librarians work in public libraries to make a difference for children, families, and communities and identify family and community engagement as a cornerstone of their responsibilities. For librarians to be successful they must be afforded strong foundations in family and community engagement that begin early in their preparation. Yet little…

McNiff, Lindsay; Hays, Lauren – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2020
Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) students represent a population for whom literature searching is a core practice and a learning outcome for an entry-level course on information searching. How LIS students learn to find information, though, is not completely clear. Many studies have explored undergraduate searching behavior, but…
