However, when technology is centered over that of human-interaction, it can create unintentional consequences that impact library workers' effectiveness and feelings of burnout. This study seeks to understand these effects by examining the intersection of burnout, feelings about technology, and the impact it all has on academic library workers' sense of effectiveness. Using a scale to measure technostress, including ranked and open-ended responses, fifty-four surveys were collected from academic library workers. Findings demonstrate that academic libraries are technocented environments and are influenced by technology related stressors, such as constant connectivity, disruption, and role overload. Even though academic library workers describe improved productivity, technology overuse negatively effects library workers' wellbeing. Academic leaders seeking to foster well-0being must account for how new and existing technologies mediate library workers' ability to sustain relational focus with patrons and colleagues. This consideration is essential when adopting technologies aimed at improving technology effectiveness. This study offers academic library leadership considerations for creating human-centered approaches when using and adapting new technology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 5","pages":"Article 103125"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144908695","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}

However, managing these formats presents unique challenges compared to traditional materials. This study surveyed 157 academic librarians in North America to investigate how academic libraries select, acquire, organize, fund, promote, and utilize graphic literature. Findings indicate that academic libraries primarily collect graphic novels to support pleasure reading, diversify collections, and fulfill curricular needs. Libraries reported a variety of acquisition, funding, and shelving strategies. Libraries promote these materials through book displays, social media, and programming such as book clubs and themed events. Graphic novels support the curriculum across many disciplines and are sometimes used as course texts and supplemental readings. The findings highlight both innovation and inconsistency in current practices, demonstrating a wide variety of ways to select, acquire, fund, organize, shelve, promote, and utilize these works. The study provides useful information for institutions seeking to expand or reevaluate their approach to graphic literature in academic libraries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 5","pages":"Article 103108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144596949","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}

While previous research broadly addresses information literacy, little is known about the specific factors that influence students' processing abilities. This study explores these factors by examining student performance during a complex academic task. Using a grounded theory approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with nine undergraduate students and analyzed via constant comparative analysis. Four key factors emerged: (1) prior domain knowledge enhances evaluation efficiency, (2) affective factors such as motivation strongly impact performance, (3) task complexity and cognitive load management strategies interact, and (4) external support structures matter—though librarians were notably absent as a perceived resource. These findings highlight the need for academic libraries to better align their services with students' actual information processing challenges. Practical implications include promoting whole-task iterative practice, embedding just-in-time support in domain-specific contexts, and addressing affective as well as technical skill development. By focusing on these four factors, academic libraries can more effectively support students. This study contributes to both the theoretical understanding of information processing in higher education and the development of evidence-based strategies to enhance library support.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 5","pages":"Article 103106"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571597","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 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.

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.

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}
