A survey of more than 1700 library staff worldwide identifies how libraries contribute to five the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The similarities between academic and public libraries’ adoption, contribution, use Goals are reported. results indicate that do substantial work around all selected Sometimes activities a result integrating into strategic planning, but at other times programming undertake as part their mission. majority respondents have not incorporated planning....
Abstract This paper presents initial research from a broader project about the impact of libraries on United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2015, UN launched SDGs, set 17 goals for global development by year 2030. Librarians helped shape inclusion access to information in these and are involved furthering them through providing information. The OCLC Global Council has selected SDGs as its area focus 2020 is formulating program that will identify advocate ways can help...
Introduction. A multi-institutional, grant-funded project employed mixed methods to study 175 fourth-grade through graduate school students’ point-of-selection behaviour. The method features the use of simulated search engine results pages facilitate data collection. Method. Student participants used Google select resources for a hypothetical project. Quantitative on participants’ selection behaviour and qualitative from their think-aloud protocols were collected. questionnaire interviews...
In a digital environment, students have difficulty determining whether an information resource comes from book, magazine, journal, blog, or other container, and lose the contextual that these containers provide. This study of primary through graduate school looks at their ability to identify resources, how this is affected by demographic traits, features they attended to, behaviors during task-based simulation. The results indicate correct container identification requires deep engagement...
This paper explores how students judge scientific news resources, as they might find through a Google search. The data were collected part of an Institute Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funded project. Students used simulated search engine that ensured study participants found the same results while seeking information for science-related school 116 from high school, community college, undergraduate, graduate communities evaluated three online resources their helpfulness, citability,...

Abstract What explains variation in women’s employment fragile states with conflict-affected histories and limited state capacity? Employment builds stability including women labor markets can yield peace dividends. We use data from a firm-level survey Somaliland, de facto northern Somalia, to investigate why some firms employ more than others. analyze firm characteristics affected by fragility conflict, female ownership, diaspora ownership management, access services.

Abstract Prior studies have shown high‐level differences in people's perception and use of various information formats. However, the lack a coherent theoretically informed framework elements format has inhibited nuanced understanding role that formats play behavior. This paper draws on theories from field rhetoric composition to ground study social constructivist perspective foregrounds action context. Specifically, rhetorical genre theory is discussed detail limitations previous behavior...
A challenge of studying information-seeking behavior in open web systems is the unpredictability those systems. One solution to counteract this issue employing a simulation ensure experimental control. However, concerns arise over realism such an environment. This paper assesses behavioral used study evaluation 175 students from fourth grade through graduate school. We assess examination targeted participant feedback about what would have made simulated environment and tasks more realistic...
