Authors: Gamin Gamin
Published: September 2022

Diklat Pembentukan Pengendali Ekosistem Hutan yang telah dilaksanakan tahun 2019 belum diketahui efisiensi, efektivitas, dan dampaknya terhadap kinerja alumni di lapangan. Tulisan ini bertujuan menguraikan efektivitas penyelenggaraan pelatihan dan dampak pelatihan terhadap kinerja alumni tersebut. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan melibatkan populasi sebanyak 34 alumni digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Model evaluasi Kirkpatrick diterapkan untuk mengetahui reaksi, hasil, perilaku, dan dampak pelatihan. Kinerja dinilai menggunakan metode 360 derajat yang melibatkan alumni, atasan langsung, dan rekan kerja alumni. Reaksi terhadap penyelenggaraan pelatihan dinilai “sangat baik” oleh peserta pelatihan dari berbagai aspek penilaian kecuali fasilitas laundry dan front desk.  Pembelajaran yang diperoleh peserta selama pelatihan berhasil dengan sangat baik dengan kriteria kelulusan “memuaskan” yang diraih 31 orang dari 34 orang peserta. Secara umum pelatihan dapat merubah perilaku dalam bekerja secara signifikan yang diungkapkan oleh alumni, atasan langsung maupun rekan kerja. Pelatihan dinyatakan secara tegas dapat memberikan hasil atau berdampak nyata pada kinerja individu maupun organisasi di tempat bekerjanya. Sementara itu para alumni masih merasa kurang percaya diri dalam melaksanakan kegiatan pengembangan profesi. Catatan dari penelitian ini adalah front desk layanan bagi peserta pelatihan dapat dipadukan dengan tugas tenaga keamanan di pos satpam. Perlu dibuat rincian tersendiri tugas pekerjaan bidang Pengendalian Perubahan Iklim agar lebih jelas. Perlu dicermati kembali pemberian mata pelajaran bidang teknis untuk dibedakan sesuai bidang pekerjaan. Perlu diperbanyak kegiatan pertemuan ilmiah guna mendorong alumni melakukan kegiatan pengembangan profesi.
GAMBARAN PENULISAN KARYA TULIS ILMIAH WIDYAISWARA BDLHK KADIPATEN
Authors: Izzati Urfi
Published: September 2022

Penulisan KTI adalah tugas pokok widyaiswara selain kegiatan dikjartih yang harus dilakukan widyaiswara untuk mengembangkan profesinya. Sesuai peraturan, angka kredit penulisan KTI juga harus dipenuhi oleh widyaiswara sebagai syarat untuk kenaikan setiap pangkat/golongannya. Meskipun demikian, penulisan KTI masih sering terabaikan atau kurang diperhatikan oleh widyaiswara, bahkan sering menjadi penghambat untuk kenaikan pangkat/golongannya. Penelitian tentang penulisan KTI widyaiswara belum pernah dilakukan di BDLHK Kadipaten, padahal gambaran penulisan KTI ini perlu diketahui untuk mengembangkan profesi widyaiswara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran penulisan KTI widyaiswara BDLHK Kadipaten yang meliputi pengajuan KTI dalam Dupak, perolehan angka kredit KTI, dan penulisan KTI widyaiswara. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan metode kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Data diperoleh dari kuesioner dan studi dokumentasi, selanjutnya dianalisis secara statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam pengajuan KTI sebanyak 53,33% widyaiswara pernah tidak dinilai KTI yang diajukan dan sebanyak 59,19% widyaiswara mengajukan KTI dalam setiap periode penilaian Dupak; perolehan angka kredit KTI widyaiswara menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata perolehan yang di atas 4/individu/tahun sebesar 46,67%, terdapat 20% widyaiswara yang telah menduduki pangkat/golongannya lebih dari 4 tahun, dan 46,67% menyatakan pernah tertunda kenaikan pangkat/golongannya karena kurangnya angka kredit KTI; penulisan KTI widyaiswara masih relatif kurang dalam penulisan KTI lingkup internasional (jurnal, proceeding, makalah dalam pertemuan ilmiah), KTI buku, KTI jurnal, KTI makalah dalam pertemuan ilmiah nasional, dan KTI proceeding. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penulisan KTI widyaiswara BDLHK Kadipaten masih perlu ditingkatkan untuk mengembangkan profesinya. Dengan adanya penelitian ini diharapkan akan mendorong widyaiswara untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dan motivasi dalam penulisan KTI dan semakin meningkatkan dukungan instansi BDLHK Kadipaten untuk mengembangkan profesi widyaiswaranya, khususnya dalam penulisan KTI sehingga dapat meningkatkan kompetensi widyaiswara dan semakin meningkatkan kinerja instansi.
Meningkatkan Kinerja Pengelolaan Pinjaman Luar Negeri Pasca Covid 19

Published: September 2022

Kajian ini membahas pertimbangan Pemerintah dalam mempertahankan  pinjaman luar negeri  sebagai pelengkap   Surat Berharga Negara (SBN)  guna pembiayaan defisit Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN).  Terdapat tiga pertimbangan untuk mempertahankan kebijakan pngadaan pinjaman luar negeri dalam pembiyaan defisit APBN. Pertama,  biayanya yang relatif murah. Kedua,  manfaatnya dalam mendukung  transfer tehnologi. Ketiga, pengungkit investasi (/multiplier effect).  Kajian ini menyimpulkan  bahwa   pengadaan pinjaman luar negeri belum  memenuhi  salah satu pertimbangan yaitu pembiayaan yang murah. Lambatnya pelaksanaan proyek di lapangan mengakibatkan sebagaian besar pencairan dana (slow disbursement) mengalami perpanjangan. Sebagai akibatnya Pemerintah harus menambah biaya komitment. Masalah klasik keterlambatan proyek pinjaman luar negeri telah berlangsung lama dan diperkirakan  akan terus terjadi. Keterlambatan disumbang oleh faktor faktor dalam tahap perencanaan; pengefektifan pinjaman, penganggaran, pelelangan, pencairan, dan pelaksanaan di lapangan. Belum diterapkannya model  three line of defense,  menjadi salah satu penyumbang gagalnya  mitigasi risiko proyek pinjaman luar negeri.  Terdapat persepsi bahwa penambahan utang untuk memerangi pandemic Covid 19 sebagai sesuatu yang wajar. Momentum pandemic Covid 19, menjadi tantangan untuk merubah paradigma lama. Bahwa biaya  pinjaman luar negeri, relatif mahal apalagi bila terlambat.

Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the presidential threshold concept in the election of President and vice president and its impact on the Indonesian constitutional system. The theory used is the theory of democracy compared to political parties and elections. The method used in this study uses a normative juridical approach by analyzing the laws relating to the General Election and using a qualitative approach by collecting existing data in literacy and literature. The results of the discussion show that the Presidential Threshold concept is used as an alternative in minimizing divisions in the electoral process, it can be seen from the existence of a threshold system specified in the law by directing political parties to form a coalition. However, the presidential threshold concept can have an impact on the reduction of public participation in democracy because of the threshold that is determined in the nomination process. The presidential threshold gave birth to coalitions between electoral parties in carrying out their candidates, with the existence of collusion between political parties could indicate the existence of policy transactions based on the interests of each political party.
The Disappearing Identity of the Teacher Educator?
Authors: Kelly Bethany K.
Published: September 2022

The education of new teachers in the UK is in the midst of a massive upheaval. Since the DfE Market Review in 2021, teacher educators have had to evaluate their intended provision and, in line with guidelines (DfE, 2021), have had to submit their plans for reaccreditation. This process has been the cause of huge disruption amongst school-based and university-based providers. This paper will argue that the role of the university-based teacher educator, as understood in the UK, is endangered and could disappear. This will be done by examining these five ideas. Firstly, by reviewing the evolution of teacher educators and their professional identity (Davey, 2013). Secondly, by considering the contrasting perceptions of teacher education in different countries compared to the UK (Gunn, et.al, 2016, Høydalsvik, 2019). For example, the professional development of teacher educators appears to have a higher priority in some countries. I will look at how these differences reflect the radical re-evaluations of the teacher role itself and will take into account that the UK route to teacher educator roles is predominantly via the practitioner route (Murray & Male, 2005). Thirdly, I will suggest that the on-going divide between educational research and practice in the UK is a contributing factor to the disappearing role of the university-based teacher educator. Fourthly, I will briefly consider whether the perceptions of the role are being challenged by the focus on teacher training rather than education and the apparent lack of interest in an academic route for teacher education. Finally, I will argue that the teacher educators’ role can be recovered through ensuring their work is values-based and by a re-evaluation of their professional leadership identity, both external and internal (Ibarra, 2016). Rather than disappearing, the teacher educator needs to straddle the divide, through their leadership example.
What Do We Need to Teach New Teachers About Child Mental Health?
Authors: Purser Laura
Published: September 2022

This paper introduces the context of mental health in education and the importance of the teacher being acknowledged as an essential component and contributor to the function of society (Bower, 2020). The paper suggests that the mental health crisis impacting children has implications for new teachers in meeting the demand in the current global climate. (Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), 2017; 2018); (Lortie-Forgues, 2021). It explores why the definition of mental health might be a problematic construct for teachers and considers whether the teacher has a significant role to play in mental health provision in schools beyond the wider community. It considers the role pathologization of behaviour plays in our approach to education and proposes that the approach teacher training takes towards critically reflecting on retributive discipline and restorative approaches in schools, subsequently supports teacher understanding of child mental health. It also looks at the current teacher training landscape and reforms and argues that policy makers and practice should be interdisciplinary with effective mental health knowledge.

The paper emphasises the importance of developing teacher understanding of the role of psychological awareness in supporting effective child mental health provision across the field of education and argues that new teachers have a part to play in this application through effective training to support the influx of demand. The paper proposes that critical considerations should be given to the potential application of interpersonal neurobiological research (Siegel, 2020), exploring concepts of the embodied brain through polyvagal theory (Porges, 2011). It touches upon developing new teacher understanding of trauma, (Van der Kolk, 2014) informed practice and transdisciplinary therapeutic approaches for practical use in schools. It considers the future of mental health knowledge in pre-service initial teacher training and proposes that such a focus will have a profound impact on making some headway in meeting child mental health needs.

The paper finishes by proposing that future research should look to develop a psychological, neurobiological, developmental sensitive approach to exploring child mental health and well-being within education and support the role of initial teacher training education (ITT/ITE) in creating confident new teachers with efficacy to meet the needs of child mental health in schools.

Published: September 2022

Background: The internet is essential for social interaction, information acquisition, and entertainment. However, indiscriminate use of the internet by individuals, especially students, has harmed their social and psychological well-being as well as their education. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between internet addiction and academic performance of medical and pharmacy students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2019 - 2020. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 149 medical and pharmacy students, who were selected by convenience sampling method. The samples were examined using two questionnaires, including the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and Educational Performance Test (EPT). The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and regression analysis. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between the IAT and some subscales of the EPT. In addition, more than 81.20% of the sample had mild (51.00%), moderate (29.53%), and severe (0.67%) dependence on the internet. Conclusions: According to the results, the internet addiction negatively affected students’ academic performance. Failure to take critical steps to control internet addiction may significantly affect the future.

Managing Web Projects in Academic Libraries
Authors: Fagan Jody Condit , Keach Jennifer A.
Published: September 2022

Today’s academic library web sites are mission-critical library locations providing access to research content and online services. Managing these web sites and related projects has grown increasingly complex. The authors conducted a 24-item survey via a listserv to gain a better understanding of the current state of web project management in academic libraries today. Responses from 121 managers of web projects were received. The survey results provided quantitative and qualitative information about project managers, project management techniques and organizational structures used by libraries to manage web projects, the responsibilities of standing web committees, best practices, and remaining challenges. Web project management in libraries continues to be informally defined and is managed from a variety of organizational locations. The function of project management is still often only one part of a hybrid job and is not often included in job descriptions. Some project management techniques are used frequently, but the most formal practices are not. Web teams and workgroups vary widely among libraries and are occasionally the source for contention. While the survey data is not statistically generalizable to the larger population of academic libraries, it points to the need for research into specific aspects of library web project management, most notably in the area of web team effectiveness.
The Effectiveness of Academic Library Deans and Directors: A Literature Review
Authors: Fagan Jody
Published: September 2022

As with other organizations in higher education, academic libraries face increasing pressure to assess their work and be more accountable for returns on investment. Although most academic library deans are subject to some type of internal performance review, a broader examination of what makes library deans and directors effective could provide valuable guidance for current and future library leaders. This article reviews some of the core theories of leadership effectiveness in the mainstream management literature and examines recent publications related to effective library leadership. Because few such studies have been conducted, the review was expanded to include studies of academic deans outside of the library as well as studies suggesting interesting new directions for research into academic library leader effectiveness. Although the literature in the area of dean effectiveness is somewhat scattered, the findings of individual works are intriguing and suggest several topics for further research. This review also produced suggestions related to methodology. Future researchers should ground investigations of library leadership effectiveness within existing leadership theories. For empirical works, researchers should consider using previously developed, validated instruments in order to be able to compare results with the larger body of leadership effectiveness research.

Strategic Thinking and Leadership
Authors: Haycock Ken
Published: September 2022

Strategic thinking, a concept applied primarily to business, can be used in any organization seeking a competitive edge. With its focus on creativity and innovation, this less formal way of drafting a vision for an organization’s future differs from the linear process of developing a strategic plan. The literature on strategic thinking is divided into two camps that focus on strategic thinking as either a part of an organization’s strategic planning process or as a more holistic endeavor within the organization. Both sides agree, however, that it is organizational leaders who are responsible for implementing strategic thinking. In the face of competition and change that exists in today’s market, library leadership can take advantage of strategic thinking in order to move the library forward toward a new and more successful future.
How to Use Free Online Tools to Recruit and Manage Remote LIS Interns
Authors: Westbrook R. Niccole
Published: September 2022

Practicum students from library and information science programs can be valuable additions to a library workforce. However, some institutions might not be located near enough to a library school, might lack workstations needed to host interns or might be wary of the considerable time and effort required to establish and administer an internship experience in their department. For such libraries, hosting a remote internship program—in which participants conduct work off-site—might be a viable option. This article describes how to use free online tools—such as blogs, Google Tools and more—to recruit and manage interns or volunteers. The use of online tools allows all work and interaction to occur remotely and has been shown to significantly reduce the amount of time managers spend overseeing projects and interacting with reports after initial setup. The author has established successful remote internship programs using online tools for the University of Houston Digital Library as well as the South Asian American Digital Archive and will discuss each as a case study providing tips and tricks for institutions that wish to establish similar programs. Additionally, the online recruitment and management techniques described in this article could also streamline administration of in-person volunteer or intern recruitment and management efforts.

Collaboration in White Spaces: Librarians as Leaders in Evidence-Based Practice at CAM Institutions
Authors: Tapper Janet , Severson Richard J. , Stello Noelle , Shupe Della
Published: September 2022

White Spaces were first described by organizational change expert Gary Rummler in the 1960’s to describe zones where meaningful action takes place outside of the normal chains of command dictated by organizational charts. This paper identifies key concepts for leadership in the white spaces as relationality, unanticipated organizational intention, intention to change and mutual purpose. Librarians serving nine Complementary and Alternative Medicine programs found themselves using white space leadership tactics to promote information literacy and evidence-based practice skills in the wake of receiving R25 grants from the National Institutes of Health. Their training as librarians paralleled the unique skills required for white space leadership and allowed them to create new opportunities for library integration into the curricula and programs of their institutions. Three case studies highlight the challenges of curriculum and cultural change at these schools and the synchronous opportunity for library involvement in those shifts.
Engaged Leadership: Administrative Ethics

Published: September 2022

While many would find the terms administration and ethics to be an oxymoron, this column counters this position by proposing that ethics are a part of being a good administrator. However, ethics from the decision making perspective are different for administrators. Additionally, one may have to engage in a different way to provide transparency for others to understand what ethical conduct means for those in a titled leadership role.
Risk-taking in Academic Libraries: The Implications of Prospect Theory
Authors: Horava Tony
Published: September 2022

Risk is a fundamental characteristic of the landscape of academic libraries, and has typically been seen in the context of strategic planning. However as the pace of technological change increases rapidly each year, and the financial and organizational pressure for demonstrating library value to our community grows apace, it is important to reassess our attitudes to risk. The future of our libraries is at play. Prospect Theory is an influential and ground-breaking model from the field of Economics that helps us to better understand how people make decisions under risk. Applying the basic principles of Prospect Theory to academic libraries can help us reframe our approach to risk assessment and to understand our actions from a different perspective. This paper describes the dynamics of risk in academic libraries and contextualizes these dynamics in relation to this model.

Fear of Negative Evaluation: Differences amongst librarians
Authors: Crawford Laurel , Leuzinger Julie , Brannon Sian , Hamner Jesse
Published: September 2022

The “fear of negative evaluation” (FNE), is a social anxiety construct that affects many workers. This does not necessarily mean that the subject believes they are performing badly, just that they are afraid of having performance evaluated negatively by others. The “Fear of Negative Evaluation” instrument created by David Watson and Ronald Friend was used. Results indicate that FNE does exist amongst librarians, more prevalently in women, younger librarians, and those at the beginnings of their career. The paper also offers further information, advice, and suggestions for improving workplaces for those with FNE.
Using a Library Impact Map to Assist Strategic Planning in Libraries
Authors: Zaugg Holt
Published: September 2022

Strategic planning in academic libraries enables librarians to plan for the delivery of services that meet university foci and patron needs. In creating a strategic plan, it is helpful to have an overall view of the strategic plan and a view that allows planners to focus on more narrow aspects. A library impact map is designed to provide these perspectives. This article describes how a library impact map can be created and may be used in the strategic planning process.

The future of technical services presents a dizzying array of challenges and opportunities. From shared print initiatives and inter-institutional cooperative cataloging to rapidly evolving technologies and the changing face of technical services professionals and staff, leadership in technical services increasingly requires an ability to perform a multitude of balancing acts. Successful management must involve an in-depth understanding of the needs of patrons, the flexibility to recognize when traditional technical services functions have outlived their usefulness, and a willingness to try new things that may fail. This article draws on experiences, both successful and not, from a large academic research library to provide useful insight for leaders at other institutions.
Do They Think We’re the Frenemy? Examining Student Anxiety and Service Perception in To-day’s Academic Libraries
Authors: Van Kampen-Breit Doris , Cooke Rachel
Published: September 2022

This study utilized the Undergraduate Multidimensional Library Anxiety Scale (UMLAS) to survey students at two universities in the Southern United States during the 2012-2013 academic year, in order to determine how they felt about the Information Search Process (ISP), their re-search skills, and their attitude towards the library employees and library facilities. It was de-termined that, despite the availability of a broad collection of online library resources at two Universities in the South, a slim majority of students indicated they still prefer to use the library in person. Although most students reported feeling comfortable using a computer, they were less comfortable using a computer at home to access the library online than one might expect. In fact, many students appear to still struggle with basic research skills, such as locating e-books online and locating full text articles, as well as with technical competencies such as downloading articles to an e-reader. Many students also indicated they were not able to find the things they wanted at the library. These same students felt library staff were friendly and helpful but, at the same time, many appeared to believe library employees were too busy to help them and indicated a reluctance to use telephone reference and Interlibrary Loan (ILL) assistance. In addition, alt-hough most students indicated that they visit the library for scholastic pursuits, very few re-sponded that they were visiting the library in order specifically to get help from a librarian. The similarity in results from the two institutions suggests this data may imply a trend for academic libraries nationwide requiring further investigation.
The Time Management Study as a Tool for New Technical Services Managers
Authors: Miller Dana M , Keenan Teressa
Published: September 2022

Inexperienced technical services managers and those new to their departments or organizations have many challenges, including building rapport and trust with staff, assessing workloads, and prioritizing assignments. Additionally, middle managers of libraries are often not adequately prepared for management through formal education or on-the-job training and workshops. Time management studies are a simple tool for shedding light on work habits, time allocations, and labor expenditures. This is critical information for new managers, and can demonstrate whether priorities, assignments or workflows need to be redirected. At the University of Nevada, Reno and the University of Montana libraries two librarians in middle management undertook separate time management studies to increase knowledge and improve management of their departments.
Setting the Stage for Success: Developing an Orientation Program for Academic Library Faculty
Authors: Weiner Sharon
Published: September 2022

A multi-faceted orientation program can provide a strong foundation for self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and retention of academic librarians. At many colleges and universities, academic librarians have faculty status. Becoming a member of a faculty involves an extensive process of socialization. This paper examines the literature of higher education and library science on the topic. It identifies the characteristics of effective orientation from that literature. Incorporating an organizational socialization model with the findings from both bodies of literature resulted in a flexible, multi-dimensional model for the orientation of academic library faculty. One university library is an example that can be readily adapted in any academic library.

The undergraduate library at major research universities, an historic product of the 1960s and 70s, now provides opportunities for leadership on numerous levels, particularly as universities deepen their commitment to the holistic experience of undergraduate students. Instead of focusing heavily on disciplinary research help or building research-level collections, the undergraduate library’s focus on teaching, learning spaces, and community fosters a crossroads of interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation that inspires change across campus. Featuring examples drawn from Odegaard Undergraduate Library of the University of Washington, this article explores the value of leading from unexpected places to collaborate and build services and programs with lasting and catalyzing impacts.
Examining the Case of an Academic Library’s Student-Focused, Patron-Satisfaction Approach to Organizational Transformation for Student Retention
Authors: Currier Michelle , Wilhelm Cori
Published: September 2022

This article serves as a case study of an academic library’s student-focused management decisions, including the concept of relationship-marketing- and reputation-management in relation to their perceived impact on student retention.

After realizing the library had developed a negative reputation, the director of SUNY Canton’s Southworth Library integrated a multi-pronged strategic plan to improve the perceived reputation of the library while cultivating student loyalty. The library had to make the firm decision on what it determined to be “about,” and whether what the library was “about” was its collections - the traditional library-centric identity - or about student success. Southworth Library Learning Commons had to make a collective determination to reject tradition and choose the latter. That meant altering course in terms of collection activities, redefining priorities and making non-traditional choices. The article illustrates strategies and actions that can be similarly replicated as part of a student-focused strategic plan. More broadly, other academic libraries and higher education institutions should consider the relationship-marketing approach in decision making and sustainability planning.

Authors: Abashian Nancy H.
Published: September 2022

Identifying opportunities for professional advancement can be difficult to navigate for library employees. Clear paths for moving up in an organization are not always evident. Sometimes you have to make your own path. Considering the needs of those you currently lead while motivating and supporting them in order to acclimate them to change is essential. A literature review of Transformational Leadership and a case study of a reorganization proposed and adopted at Binghamton University Libraries will be used to demonstrate how to achieve success by leveraging talent to better meet the needs of an organization.

Bullying in the Library Workplace
Authors: Kim Hak Joon , Geary Carol Anne , Bielefield Arlene
Published: September 2022

The primary purposes of the study were to investigate how often bullying occurs in libraries and whether bullying policies exist in libraries. The first survey questionnaire was sent to library personnel in the six New England states through statewide email distribution lists. Altogether 571 library staff members completed the survey. The second survey questionnaire was sent to large public and academic libraries in New England to see if they have anti-bullying policies in the workplace. The results of the study clearly showed there were significant reports of workplace bullying in all kinds of libraries. Nonetheless, not many libraries have policies that deal with this workplace challenge.
Zero-Based Budgeting In a Cutback Scenario For A Small Academic Library
Authors: Schneider K.G. , O'Bryan Charles
Published: September 2022

This white paper will model zero-based budgeting in a cutback scenario. The paper will open with a literature review of organizational decline, fiscal retrenchment, and zero-based budgeting, “a method of budgeting which requires you to justify all planned expenditures for each of your new business periods” (Small Business Accounting Guide, 2014). The bulk of this white paper will model zero-based budgeting in a cutback scenario using an organizational persona based on the actual budget of a small private academic library. The budget narrative will describe the sequencing of this budget model. A brief discussion of the pros and cons of zero-based budgeting will follow. The paper will conclude with an annotated list of key readings followed by a more extensive list of references.
Critical Views of Leadership and the Academic Library
Authors: Brundy Curtis
Published: September 2022

Critical leadership studies (CLS) is a recent branch of leadership studies that examines assumptions and issues with mainstream approaches to leadership development and research. This paper reviews three areas of criticism from CLS. First, leadership is a poorly defined and ambiguous concept. Second, mainstream approaches to leadership can be harmful to followers. And third, there is little evidence demonstrating that leadership development is effective. Next, a recent attempt at library leadership development, the Nexus Project, is examined against the three CLS leadership criticisms. And finally, suggestions from the CLS literature are offered on how to pursue organizational improvements outside the context and shadow of leadership.
Putting Work Life Balance into Practice: Policy Implications for Academic Librarians
Authors: Townsend Tamara , Bugg Kimberley
Published: September 2022

Work-life balance for academic librarians is often problematic because while they are often held to the same scholarship and service standards as teaching faculty; their work responsibilities do not always afford them the same independence and autonomy to complete these requirements. Further, library leaders concerned with recruitment and retention should consider reviewing and updating policies that address work-life balance as a way to gain the competitive advantage. This study explores the policies that hinder and support librarians in achieving greater work-life balance. A survey of 329 academic librarians working in urban settings found that changes and enhancements in schedule flexibility would assist many librarians with achieving greater work-life balance.
