Teacher and librarian partnerships in literacy education in the 21st century
This volume explores teacher and librarian partnerships in literacy education, showing that such partnerships are essential to literacy education in 21st century. The contributors reconceptualize literacy education based on teacher and librarian partnerships. Studies from Sweden, Norway and the U.K. analyze such partnerships as sociocultural and intercultural practices, documenting ways in which teacher and librarian partnerships in literacy education enhance reading literacy, learning, empowerment and social justice. The authors treat literacies as social practices, rather than as an autonomous skill, working with interdisciplinary perspectives that draw on educational research, New Literacy Studies, library and information science and interprofessional studies. Equally important, the contributors show that the partnerships foster work with the multiple literacies of students and communities, and students? attachment to the public and school library. The contributors also analyze tensions and contradictions in literacy education and in school library policy and practice, and attempt to deal with these challenges.

Building new twenty-first century medical school libraries from the ground up: challenges, experiences, and lessons learned
The twenty-first century library at a newly opened medical school often differs from those at traditional medical schools. One obvious difference is that the new medical school library tends to be a born-digital library, meaning that the library collection is almost exclusively digital. However, the unique issues related to building a library at a new medical school are not limited to online collections. A unique start-up culture is prevalent, of which newly appointed directors and other library and medical school leaders need to be aware. This special paper provides an overview of best practices experienced in building new medical school libraries from the ground up. The focus is on the key areas faced in a start-up environment, such as budgeting for online collections, space planning, staffing, medical informatics instruction, and library-specific accreditation issues for both allopathic and osteopathic institutions.

Research on Information Literacy Education Model in the Big Data Environment - A Case Study of six Hainan high school Libraries
Under the overwhealing trend of big data, information literacy is gradually embedded in various applications with broader contents. Due to the new concepts and new technologies, the contents and methods of information literacy education have also changed. In order to further study the mode of information literacy education under the environment of big data, this paper takes six Hainan high school libraries as an example to investigate the students’ understanding level of information literacy education - their perception of the role of information literacy education and their satisfaction with information literacy education. In term of students’ knowledge, 28.25% of students have never heard literacy education, 37.28% have heard but are not sure of the details, and 34.47% know about information literacy education. In terms of students’ perceptions of the role of education, 48.27% thought that information literacy education was important, 48.15% thought that information literacy education was neutral, and 3.58% thought that information literacy education in libraries was not useful at all. In terms of satisfaction, students who are very satisfied, satisfied, and not satisfied with information literacy education is 33.33%, 52.12%, and 14.55% respectively. Our result showed that information literacy education in college libraries still lacks publicity, and developed mulitiple teaching model to attract student attention is necessary. Therefore, we purposed that information literacy education in college libraries should develop diversified publicity based on various media, particular follow the new characteristics of college students’ information acquisition behavior, and expand the scope of information literacy education.

The tenth Janet Doe Lecture, a forty-year perspective: still relevant after all these years
Erich Meyerhoff was an academic health sciences librarian and a distinguished member of the Medical Library Association when he was invited to present the Janet Doe Lecture in 1977. His lecture on the state of the association is considered one of the finest Doe lectures and is still relevant more than forty years later, not only from an historical perspective, but also for his projections for the future and his prescient comments about the future of hospital librarianship and the important role of women in the association. Key 1977 Doe lecture topics are reviewed and updated in the context of the current health sciences library environment.
