    On Ethical Assessment: Locating and Applying the Core Values of Library and Information Science
    (Association of Research Libraries, 2021) Young, Scott W. H.
    In this paper, I provide a brief history of the development of values within Library and Information Studies (LIS), drawing on the literature of LIS, sociology, professionalism, value studies, and practical ethics. I begin by tracing the outlines of professional identity as a way of staking out a claim to values. I then turn to the definition and purpose of values, before enumerating the main values present in the LIS literature. Finally, I present an overview of the contemporary conversation and practical applications related to values, focusing on the American Library Association (ALA) Core Values of Librarianship.

    The Importance of a Philosophy of Teaching Statement to the Teacher/LIbrarian
    (Communications in Information Literacy, 2008) Zauha, Janelle
    Statements of teaching philosophy are most commonly associated with regular teaching faculty outside the library. In this column, I will explore why librarians should also voice their philosophy of teaching, and how it can benefit their students, themselves, and their institution. I’ll also touch on resources for conceptualizing, writing, and using statements.

    Scientific Data and Social Science Data Libraries
    (IASSIST, 1995) Barber, David; Zauha, Janelle
    There is a vast amount of quantitative information available in electronic form. Social science data makes up less than half that amount. The other, larger half is scientific data. While university libraries have made a considerable investment in social science data, little has been done about scientific data. If administrators, librarians, or others believed that more attention should be paid to scientific data, one of the suggestions that might naturally arise is that social science data specialists should be involved. Though some common ground between these areas should be acknowledged, the existence of very substantial differences must also be recognized. Those differences are especially significant because coping with them will require an investment of staff and financial resources by the data library.

    Rules of Engagement: Best Practices for Connecting with Students
    (Communications in Information Literacy, 2010) Zauha, Janelle
    One of the biggest challenges most of us face in our teaching is a very basic one: How do we engage students in learning to research? Whatever we call the instruction we provide – information literacy, critical thinking, research or library skills – and wherever that instruction occurs – in one shot classroom sessions, online, in credit courses, at the reference desk, or in the cafeteria – student engagement is a conundrum for us.
