The present case study gathered data from Canadian teachers about their former library, as well as a new learning commons. Teachers’ attitudes about the learning commons were significantly more positive compared to the previous library. Technology, communication, and flexibility were aspects noted to predict satisfaction. Teachers were concerned with the loss of desktop computers. This study showcases the importance of (and a method for) asking teachers how a learning commons affects their work.Keywords: Learning commonsteacher satisfactionteacher collaborationlibrarysecondary school AcknowledgementsSpecial thanks to Graham McLaren for his support and enthusiasm for environmental psychology at the participating school.

There are numerous methods of creating or re-imagining research impact services. As is common practice within librarianship, sharing experiences and best practices for service provision, especially burgeoning services, is invaluable and informs other professionals about successes they can potentially adapt into their plans for doing similar work. The Libraries at the University of Houston is in the midst of creating a research visibility and impact program born out of an initiative to elevate the university’s level of prestige and impact by developing personnel, programs, and practices to support research visibility and impact across the institution.

Many leadership development texts focus on implementing selected styles or techniques in order to deal with these challenges. However, this article explores how developing reflexivity is an essential component of leadership development for academic library leaders. In order to develop this reflexivity, leaders must become disembedded via relational practices such as engaging within interstitial spaces. Discussion of the topic yields three suggested relational practices for leaders to become disembedded in their quest for reflexivity: (1) participating in regular strategic assessment; (2) cultivating faculty relationships; and (3) engaging in student outreach and embedded librarianship.Keywords: Reflexivitygender equityleadership styleembedded agent AcknowledgementsMy deepest gratitude to Dr. Maria Lai-Ling Lam for her encouragement, guidance, and enthusiasm.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":46427,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Library Administration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135266575","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}
