Of 527 librarians contacted at AACSB-accredited institutions, 155 responded (29 %), with 69 agreeing to interviews about current or former cost sharing agreements and 66 indicating no such arrangements existed at their institutions. Using applied thematic analysis, researchers identified seven themes and 17 subthemes from interview transcripts analyzed in Taguette. The quantitative data, analyzed through Airtable, revealed that 13 % of the institutions we contacted had experience with cost sharing arrangements. These arrangements were most prevalent at public R1 and R2 institutions. Notably, most agreements lacked formal documentation through memoranda of understanding, which contributed to some of the challenges experienced in managing resources. Future studies should investigate whether similar arrangements exist in other disciplines and identify best practices for implementing shared collection development strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 3","pages":"Article 103050"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143816734","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}

This systematic review aims to expand the literature on academic library leadership by answering the following three questions: What professional development experiences encourage librarians to consider pursuing senior leadership positions? What professional development experiences have the most success in helping librarians to obtain these senior leadership positions? Are there any current gaps expressed by mid-career librarians regarding professional development, recruitment processes or senior leadership position openings? We also discuss the surprising lack of research into what motivates librarians to pursue senior leadership positions and the possibility that certain traditional professional development activities may in fact act as demotivating factors; the uncomfortable reality that librarians still report racial, gender and dominant culture bias as a barrier to career advancement; common gaps in mid-career support; and the possibility that there may be skills librarians do not, and potentially cannot, learn before actually occupying a senior leadership role.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 3","pages":"Article 103046"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143784002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The grant was awarded with a stipulation that the system-wide program will also be assessed. The assessment of the impact and efficacy of affordable course content initiatives requires quantitative strategies often outside academic librarians' expertise. To this end, we partnered with campus stakeholders to leverage their data analysis expertise. Since randomized controlled trials are not always viable in educational research, we used the Propensity Score Matching method to ensure the groups of students were structurally similar. The results of our analysis showed a significant impact on measures of student retention.

Users preferred service notification videos, followed by those focused on information literacy education, image promotion, and resource recommendation. In contrast, event promotion short videos received slightly lower evaluations. Based on these findings, three key recommendations for improving the marketing of library short videos were proposed: First, short videos with good communication effects and high user satisfaction should be promoted.

Academic librarians, with their expertise in information literacy and critical pedagogy, are well-equipped to address this need.

Each tier builds on the previous, fostering a comprehensive understanding of AI concepts, tools, and societal implications. Adapted from traditional information literacy workshops, this instructional model empowers students to navigate, critique, and responsibly engage with AI technologies. Tier 1 introduces basic AI concepts and tools. Tier 2 examines AI's role in research and problem-solving, addressing practical applications and limitations. Tier 3 emphasizes the critical evaluation of AI-generated content and tools. Tier 4 focuses on ethical decision-making and advocacy, encouraging students to consider AI's broader societal impacts. This article discusses the proposed model's pedagogical design, details its application through workshop plans, and explores its implications for academic librarians' roles in fostering AI literacy. By implementing this approach, librarians can equip students to become critical consumers of AI technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 3","pages":"Article 103041"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143644195","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}
