Want to know more about publishing in information literacy journals? Tune in to this online panel, 4th June: infolit.org.uk/publishing-on-… @ALA_ACRL @alisonhicks0 @ellysa and more discuss editors’ processes.

Many thanks to @wgpothier and @pattibcondon for this terrific @PortalJournal editorial explaining the importance of librarian involvement in data literacy education:

Congratulations to the 2023 portal Best Article Award winners! @sjaggars @kaity_prieto @abibliothekarin @marcosdrivera

Exploring two decades of portal editorials was fascinating — especially observing decade-specific trends, like pervasive late 90s techno-angst:

So true! One of the best parts of editing is the opportunity to see the evolution of an article as a result of formative and thoughtful reviewer feedback.

@mhensle1 @PortalJournal @LUCLibraries Aww — thank you, Merinda! 😍

Excited to take on this new role leading @PortalJournal and grateful to my inspiring predecessor — current portal Past Editor and Dean of @LUCLibraries Marianne Ryan. ♥️♥️♥️

@gruenelf @psu_scl Em, I think I have a bottle! I bought it to make a special cocktail and never used it. I'll look in my pantry.

A quick thread about how I approach a literature review when I am unfamiliar with the topic. Note: There are several ways to do this and my way is not the only way nor the only right way. If you have alternate approaches please share! I love hearing how people approach writing.

@Markie_Jay06 @rcooper @psulibs Aww— thank you, DeMarcus! I loved learning about your ACID method for reading articles — I will use and recommend that in the future. 🤩

@rcooper Absolutely! Librarians are incredibly valuable especially during the search process. Our librarian, @ellysa is so wonderful and taught me so much about how to maximize the search features at @psulibs. Completely transformed how I approach lit search now!

@mobeenakhan This article explores it: preprint.press.jhu.edu/portal/sites/a…

Has anyone done any work on trauma informed library teaching/spaces?

@ruthbrarian Ruth, I’m thinking good thoughts for you, Micah, and your sweet little guy! 🥰

Thanks to @CarmenCCole and @emalinem for this thoughtful and innovative article on inclusive hiring practices, including a dissection of the notion of 'fit' in academic librarianship:

@ruthbrarian I had a grant project that worked with Zotero on that folder and auto-recognizing and importing it into Scholarsphere on the user's behalf. It worked from ScholarSphere but I wanted the action to initiate in Zotero. Couldn't happen. 😑

@ruthbrarian Ruth, there was a huge outcry when they changed it to 10 am! (I for one was so thankful)

@ruthbrarian 😂😂😂 It’s big! Keep me posted.

@ruthbrarian If it’s still there — it was right around the intersection of Chestnut Ridge Dr and Hickory Hill drive. It looked like it was in great shape. I will DM you any additional finds I see tonight or tomorrow! 🤩

@ruthbrarian I did see a full porch swing — hard to describe but a seated swing that you could basically place anywhere — tonight. It was in Chestnut Ridge.
