Survey responses from 65 libraries were analyzed regarding availability of, plans to acquire, or reasons for not acquiring five interventions—automatic electronic defibrillators (AEDs), naloxone, epinephrine, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, and mental health crisis training. Findings showed that these interventions were not necessarily common—41.5% of respondents offered zero of the five interventions, while the most common, AED, was available in 52.3% of libraries. AEDs and epinephrine were somewhat more common in academic libraries, but naloxone, CPR training, and mental health crisis training were more common in public libraries. Primary reasons for not adopting medical interventions included alternative emergency response options, cost, concerns regarding legal liability, and the sense that this is outside the scope of a library’s duties. Implications and considerations for library planning are discussed.","PeriodicalId":35381,"journal":{"name":"Public Services Quarterly","volume":"11 1","pages":"245 - 270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73173030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By challenging traditional approaches that focus on detection and consequences, librarians can design instruction that treats plagiarism as a teaching and learning opportunity. The case study presented here describes how one librarian designed an interactive online tutorial by utilizing the USER instructional design model. Each step of the process is clearly described, offering both an example and a guide to librarians who want to engage in similar efforts.","PeriodicalId":35381,"journal":{"name":"Public Services Quarterly","volume":"15 1","pages":"271 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77091399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, Hosier provides numerous resources, including assignments and information on assessment, as well as “Questions for Reflection” designed to aid librarians as they rethink their pedagogy and practice. Hosier promotes a shift from a “how-to” model to a holistic one that embeds basic skills instruction within a comprehensive research environment and privileges curiosity and the ability to make thoughtful choices about the right source for the right context. Using Context in Information Literacy Instruction is both the right source for librarians who want to embrace that model and a valuable addition to libraries at institutions with LIS programs and IL collections.","PeriodicalId":35381,"journal":{"name":"Public Services Quarterly","volume":"76 1","pages":"199 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91394814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
