The analysis investigates the creative conventions employed by StudyTubers and identifies video types that librarians can repurpose to improve services, reduce repetitive inquiries, promote accessibility, etc. The main findings reveal specific video types (such as <em>study vlogs, walking tours, captioned videos</em>) and practical formats that hold significant potential for supporting library operations. The article concludes with 20 feasible recommendations for librarians. This research contributes new insights into the possible applications of creative and user-generated digital content in academic libraries, discussing innovative ways to utilize StudyTubers' videos for user support, space promotion, and alleviating librarians' workloads.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 6","pages":"Article 103156"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145417630","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}

I present and analyze data from 168 “mini-assignments” in which students must use one of the existing mediated library services available to them in the course of writing their research essay (use the chat help function; book an appointment with a librarian; email a question to a librarian; text a question to a librarian; or visit the main desk in the library). Students need to describe what service they used and what kind of help they asked for and then reflect on the help-seeking process including how they felt before, during, and after seeking help, and what they would do the same or differently next time. I argue that this low-stakes assignment positively impacts students' future use, future confidence, and also ‘levels up’ the kind of engagement that students are comfortable undertaking. This mini-assignment, then, benefits first-year students and particularly equity-deserving and at-risk students, by making explicit how to get help from the university library as part of the first-year academic writing classroom, and showcasing librarians as co-educators with pedagogical expertise.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 6","pages":"Article 103150"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145417632","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 study assesses readiness for the adoption of artificial intelligence across four dimensions: policy, procedure, personnel, and technology. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach was used, leading with survey data from 171 librarians examined via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), followed by 13 detailed interviews with chief librarians to contextualize the results. Results indicate significant differences: policy preparedness is somewhat robust (AVE = 0.777), demonstrating evolving policies and leadership dedication, while people readiness is significantly deficient (AVE = 0.626), highlighting gaps in technical expertise, training, and change management. Constrained by antiquated infrastructure, scarce resources, and inadequate institutional alignment, technological and process readiness exhibit uneven development. Qualitative findings highlight practical problems, including ethical concerns related to privacy and data governance, as well as dependence on outdated technologies. Nevertheless, despite these obstacles, librarians demonstrate a proactive stance and acknowledge their transforming roles in AI-enhanced education settings. The study concludes with practical recommendations, including promoting inter-institutional collaboration, investing in sustainable digital infrastructure, emphasizing professional training, and integrating ethical frameworks into AI policies. These findings suggest immediate value for policymakers and practitioners aiming to bridge the AI readiness gap and support the sustainable, ethical, and future-oriented transformation of academic libraries in Pakistan.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 6","pages":"Article 103161"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145578717","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}

The study provides an example of how critical bibliometric methods can be applied to provide context and nuance when assessing the impact of research and interpreting research impact metrics. Themes identified within the literature include the COVID-19 pandemic, diversity, artificial intelligence, and social media, and the study notes differences in citation rates between these trends, with articles in the cluster focused on diversity cited at a lower rate than those focused on technology. While the study employs a novel weighting method to mitigate the impact of journal self-citation, the preliminary results demonstrate the susceptibility of citation-based metrics to gaming by authors, journal editors, and publishers.

Because the repository's coverage and uptake varied across disciplines and over time, we normalized traffic counts by year of defense and discipline. Results show marked differences: dissertations in law and education sciences achieved significantly higher visibility per manuscript, whereas those in computer science, physics, and biology attracted comparatively fewer readers. These differences were statistically significant and, when combined with an analysis of dissertation titles, suggest that topic accessibility to non-specialist audiences shapes dissemination. To interpret these findings, we apply Engeström's activity theory, modeling the contradictions doctoral graduates face between open dissemination and publishers' embargo or copyright constraints.

Using a semi-structured interview approach, the researchers examined the perceptions of twelve field station instructors on how their students engage with information to learn in a place-based educational context. Three interrelated themes emerged that demonstrate the varied ways in which students need to learn to use information: (1) Leveraging interdisciplinary lenses, where students integrate diverse perspectives to interpret environmental information; (2) Acculturating to field research practices, where students gain practical research and data skills through experiential learning; and (3) Experiencing immersive information, where students absorb and share information about their learning environment through informal engagement with the place and others in the learning community. These findings expose opportunities for librarians to reframe their roles as embedded collaborators, who can deepen and expand the ways in which students become aware of and capable of using information, in place-based contexts.
