Widely used tools such as CRAAP, CARS, ACT UP, and SIFT remain underrepresented in scholarly literature and insufficiently aligned with emerging information challenges. This study uses cited reference analysis in the Scopus database to examine 16 mnemonic evaluative frameworks across 280 peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, and review articles. Citation patterns were analyzed by year, discipline, institutional affiliation, and source title. Findings reveal that while legacy models like CRAAP and CARS retain the most citations, newer frameworks such as SIFT and RADAR are proportionally more cited in AI-related literature. A subset of 49 AI-focused citing documents indicates a disciplinary shift from Library and Information Sciences toward Computer Science, Engineering, Business, and Decision Sciences since 2022. These results highlight the need for adaptive, systems-aware models that address credibility challenges associated with generative AI and algorithmic curation. In response, this study introduces the CAT Test (<em>Check, Ask, Think</em>), a three-part evaluative framework designed to help learners assess AI-generated content by corroborating claims, interrogating model reasoning, and reflecting on platform influence.

Although anecdotal evidence suggests that librarianship may be an attractive profession for neurodivergent adults, significant challenges remain. This paper discusses a case study undertaken in a large research-intensive university in England. This case study investigates the experiences of neurodivergent LIS individuals, examining the impact of recruitment practices, the workplace environment, daily work and tasks, and their professional skills as perceived through the lens of neurodivergency. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews with six participants who identified as neurodivergent. A reflexive approach was taken to the research and thematic analysis used to analyse the results. This research finds that neurodivergent individuals encounter challenges with recruitment, the physical and sociocultural environment, and their daily work. This includes challenges with panel interviews, the sensory environment, the “unspoken rules” of social, professional expectations, and a conflicting desire for novelty and routine. Access to adjustments vary and are reliant on individual and institutional knowledge of neurodivergence, and the psychological safety required to disclose. Neurodivergent individuals are keen to use and develop their skills, however, employers appear nervous to discuss professional development opportunities. Although neurodivergent individuals are cautiously optimistic about their experiences, there is a need for increased understanding within the sector of their lived experiences to provide support. This paper puts forward recommendations for practice and identifies areas for future research that will help to improve the experiences of neurodivergent professionals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 5","pages":"Article 103115"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144756844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

North American academic libraries are widely regarded as a global benchmark for developing data services, owing to their strong research infrastructure and extensive administrative support. This study examines how libraries at leading members of the Association of American Universities (AAU) staff and structure these data-focused roles. Using a combined approach of directory reviews, site-specific searches, statistics, and text analysis, the study identifies 321 data-focused roles across 71 AAU libraries at the beginning of 2024–2025 academic year, averaging 2.30 % of each library's total staff. Although generalist data librarian roles predominate, specialized positions, including non-librarian staff also play important parts in front-end data services. Results reveal no statistically significant differences between public and private AAU libraries in either the prevalence or percentage of data-oriented roles, suggesting that administrative priorities may outweigh funding models in shaping data services capacity. Text analysis underscores the prominence of more general data terms within job titles, reflecting a broad focus on the entire data lifecycle in most institutions, while some more advanced and niche technical skills are supported in a few institutions. Furthermore, this study proposes a three-stage model of data services maturity: (1) basic Research Data Management (RDM) essentials, (2) general data support, and (3) specialized data expertise, with most AAU libraries occupying Stages 2 or 3, reflecting their readiness to address complex data needs. For libraries worldwide seeking to initiate or enhance data services, these results highlight strategic considerations such as flexible hiring practices, professional development, and dedicated web visibility. This study offers a replicable framework for other academic libraries worldwide aiming to progress from foundational RDM to advanced data specialization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 5","pages":"Article 103102"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144549213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
