Foley Library Scholarship

Background: Health literacy outreach is commonplace within public and hospital libraries but less so in academic libraries, where it is often viewed as not integral. Academic health science libraries may collaborate with public libraries to provide public health information literacy programming or “train the trainer” sessions, but examples of academic health science librarians leading community health initiatives are still limited.

Case Presentation: This case report discusses a collaborative project between Gonzaga’s Foley Center Library, the School of Nursing and Human Physiology, and a local elementary school to promote health literacy for students and their families, led by an Academic Health …

Library Faith, Self-Care, And Academic Librarianship, John P. Delooper

Publications and Research

Librarianship has long been regarded as a service-oriented profession, compared with fields such as social work, teaching, nursing, and others with a high degree of emotional labor. The roots of this run deep, perhaps as far as Dewey, who spoke of a “library spirit,” which represented an extreme commitment to patron service. Dewey, who was obsessed with efficiency, both in his personal and professional life, created and popularized the American Library Association’s motto of “the best reading, for the largest number, at the least cost.” This motto, passed on as professional wisdom and taught in library schools for decades, was …

On Stephen King, And The “What” And “Why” Of American Archivist, Amy Cooper Cary

Library Faculty Research and Publications

The mix of articles in this issue cuts a broad swath through several topics current in our literature, and trying to decide how to bring it all together in an editor's column was giving me fits. An issue that moves from community archives to contingent workers, to promotion and tenure, to congressional collections, to access systems, to engagement—well, it's not easy for me to wrap my editorial head around, let alone for you to thread your way through as a reader. It's a great problem to have, but I needed to make sense of it. Terry Baxter's 2023 SAA Presidential …

Are Transformative Agreements Worth It? An Analysis Of Open Access Publication Data At The University Of Kentucky, Ben Rawlins

Library Faculty and Staff Publications

Open access publishing is continuing to grow as funders such as cOAlition S, National Institutes of Health, and the White House implement mandates and requirements that publicly funded research be made immediately available for public consumption.

However, it is unclear whether these agreements are beneficial for libraries. This article discusses a project by the University of Kentucky Libraries to gather and analyze open access publication data to aid in the evaluation of transformative agreement proposals. This article also discusses how the University …
