Allies and Allyship in LIS
Authors: Hussey Lisa 
Published: October 2022

Given the social tumult over the past few years, the concept of being an ally, or allyship, has become a popular talking point for many in the LIS professions. Acting as an ally is a common step in equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) strategies. The term is used to describe individuals with power and privilege providing support and assistance to marginalized groups and individuals, including LIS professionals, staff, library users, or community members. Despite the prevalence of its use, the concept of ally is not well-defined resulting in different understandings and expectations. Ally and Allyship is applied to a variety of intentions and actions, ranging from declaring support on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to speaking up in public to actively engaging through volunteering, protests, and funding. Many of these actions, however, are not always perceived as helpful by the groups they are intended to help. In order to effectively engage in allyship, it is important to build a common understanding of what it means to be an ally and how that translates to the practice of allyship.
In LIS, there needs a better understanding of what it means to be an ally and to engage with allyship, as well as how these concepts are perceived and defined by both those who are carrying out actions, as well as those who are receiving the intended support. This research focuses on the definitions of and the behaviors associated with being an ally and participating in allyship amongst professionals in LIS in the United States. The study builds on the work of Erskine and Bilimoria (2019), which proposed a definition of white allyship in support of Afro-Diasporic women and identified motivators and detractors of allyship behavior. The behavior of professionals with privilege and power can support or impede the career development of professionals from marginalized groups (p. 320). As a result, understanding the factors that support white allyship behavior can inform professional development and personal actions to increase the capacity of other white professionals to enact allyship behavior, with long-term potential for increasing the number of professionals of color in LIS organizations.
Making the Invisible, Visible
Authors: Stokes David 
Published: October 2022

This poster analyzes consensus methods (e.g., CDP, Delphi, RAM, and NGT) by experts in scientific and technological contexts. Consensus methods provide opportunities for experts in different geographical locations and organizations to come together to deliberate and define their level of agreement on a complex topic (e.g., public health, environment, technology use). These experts are authoritative knowledge seekers with high H-Index scores and honorific society memberships. For these very reasons, their recommendations shift paradigms and influence policies. However, there are times when group deliberations lead to multiple and contradictory recommendations.
Three research questions were developed for this study: How do experts reach a consensus? What information-seeking behaviors do they employ (using retrieval systems and software applications? Lastly, how do they understand consensus development processes? I applied ethnographic methods, including document analysis and retrospective experience, to collect data, and used data visualization to present preliminary insights.
Preliminary insights remove ambiguity in defining what consensus is and what it is not. Based on a historical analysis of scientific consensus, four significant shifts that have led us to modern-day consensus methods is described, and a process for which experts negotiate agreement is explained. Finally, there is a call to action for information professionals and LAM institutions to push back against invisible labor in order to convey how our profession, in particular, our subject matter expertise and systems knowledge, significantly impacts scientific consensus development.

Outcomes from the recent United States (U.S.) census indicate that the country continues to grow in diverse populations. At least 4 million English Language Learner (ELL) students are enrolled in the U.S. public school system. Frequently, ELL students are faced with complete immersion into classes with teachers who may not have specialized training to assist them. According to the American Association of School Librarians’ National School Library Standards, school librarians actively engage the entire school population and its stakeholders to facilitate academic achievement. As such, they can provide educational experiences to supplement the classroom curriculum.
Given these circumstances, a pilot study was conducted with pre-service and recently certified school librarians regarding their ELL training. Results showed that most participants were interested in learning more about how to assist ELLs. A majority of them responded that they experienced some level of difficulty with using technology to enhance learning for ELLs and understanding how to develop a multicultural lesson plan for ELLs. These results suggest that librarians need more training in this area.
In response, this poster reports preliminary results from an IMLS funded project developed to build the capacity of school librarians to provide services for ELLs. During the project, a multidisciplinary group of experts, including the school library community and ELL stakeholders such as linguists, ELL community members, public librarians, educational technologists, teachers, and school administrators, are collaborating to identify research-based strategies for providing learning opportunities. Best practices and resources for educating school librarians will be shared.
Revisiting Instructional Approaches in Response to Emerging Cataloging Standards

Published: October 2022

The ever-shifting landscape of cataloging standards over the last decade has kept library and information science (LIS) educators on their toes, and continuing developments only promise to maintain this trend. Examples include the publication of the International Federation of Library Association & Institution’s (IFLA’s) conceptual model Library Reference Model (LRM) in 2017, the release of the new and heavily revised version of the cataloging content standard Resource Description and Access (RDA) in 2020, and Library of Congress’ upcoming Bibliographic Framework (BIBFRAME) standard for encoding and publishing library data. These new standards have altered the way in which cataloging work is conceived and discussed, radically changed the interfaces used for accessing cataloging documentation, and are now spurring the creation of new software and tools for cataloging work, including Library of Congress’ new Marva metadata editor. At the same time, the increasing inclusion of linked data projects in libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions are requiring new skills, practices, and workflows that cataloging and metadata librarians must be prepared for. With many of these standards and initiatives not fully implemented in the majority of libraries, cataloging educators face a dilemma in deciding how best to prepare their students to successfully navigate this time of change, where old and new standards and practices intersect.
The Technical Services Education SIG session will include a panel of three educators (two of whom are current cataloging practitioners) with unique perspectives on strategies for teaching toward emerging cataloging standards. After brief presentations by each of the panelists, audience members will be encouraged to ask questions and offer their own experiences and ideas concerning this area of LIS education.
This conversation aligns well with the ALISE conference theme of “Go Back and Get It: From One Narrative to Many” as cataloging practice and education must be in constant dialogue about the preparation of LIS students for the lifespan of their careers. How can LIS educators prepare students for an environment in which different institutions are facing drastically different plans and timelines for the implementation of new standards? How can teaching practices be adjusted to best leverage current best practices alongside new strategies? And how can study of past, present, and emerging cataloging standards and practices provide a solid foundation on which LIS students can build throughout their careers? This panel will offer opportunities for LIS educators to reach back to knowledge and experiences concerning previous standards transitions, share best practices for addressing the current, dynamic environment, and look toward the future of cataloging and metadata education and preparation.
Cystic transformation of the pineal gland (radiation anatomy and epiphysis cerebri structural variants): a prospective study
Authors: Shilova A. V. , Ananyeva N. I. , Lukinа L. V. 
Published: October 2022

INTRODUCTION: Pineal cysts are a common finding on brain MRI, but their which remains unclear. A theory has been put forward that non-occlusive cysts can compress the deep cerebral veins, leading to intracranial hypertension.OBJECTIVE: Тo study the variant MRI appearance of the pineal gland.MATERIALS AND METHODS: 48 volunteers underwent an MRI examination using a 1.5 T Toshiba Exelart Vantage device to assess the presence of MRI signs of central venous hypertension, taking into account the morphological variants of the pineal gland structure, and a category was assigned based on the calculated tectum-splenium-cyst ratio and thalamic coefficient. The mean age of men was 41.27±4.63, of women — 31.5±2.58 years. The study participants were divided into three groups: the 1st group — no pineal cyst, the 2nd group — pineal cyst less than 10 mm, the 3rd group —a cyst larger than 10 mm.RESULTS: Based on the obtained tectum-splenium-cyst ratios and the ADC coefficient, it was found that in the volunteer group with cysts larger than 10 mm, 8 out of 15 people were at increased risk of developing central venous hypertension (categories 3 and 4). Category 4 patients had the narrowest aqueduct (1.1–1.2 mm). In the 2nd group, in persons with a pineal cyst less than 10 mm, there were no signs of aqueductal stenosis or tectal plate compression. In the 3rd group, in persons without a pineal cyst, there were also no signs of aqueductal stenosis or tectal plate compression, however, category 3 was assigned to 8 volunteers, which may be due to other causes of venous outflow impairment.CONCLUSION: A large pineal cysts occur in younger patients, and in the presence of aqueductal narrowing and an increased risk of venous hypertension may cause clinical manifestations such as headaches, dizziness, and sleep disturbances. When patients present with relevant complaints, categorization based on DWI and SSFP is an additional criterion that reflects the degree of impact of the pineal cyst on adjacent structures.

INTRODUCTION: COVID-19-associated gastrointestinal tract involvement has been reported in 11.4–61.1% of cases. However, there is no data on the incidence of COVID-19-associated pathology in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, and there’s little understanding about the appearance of COVID-19-associated gastrointestinal lesions on ultrasound diagnostic images.OBJECTIVE: To study of the radiologic pattern of COVID-19-associated changes in the gastrointestinal tract based on the comparison of ultrasound and morphological autopsy data.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was approved by the ethical committee of Gomel State Medical University (protocol № 2 of 24.03.2021). For the purposes of this study gastric and intestinal pathological examination was performed in 11 subjects (average age 64.6±10.1 years) who died of COVID-19 infection and 11 subjects who had no clinical or laboratory confirmed signs of COVID-19 infection (average age 67.2±8.8 уears). Using the ImageJ computer program, we determined the surface area of the whole studied object subject, and the affected areas (foci of hyperemia with fine-point hemorrhages), determined the percentage of organ mucosal lesions and also performed an ultrasound examination of the gastric and intestinal wall samples. Statistic: analysis was performed using the Statistica 10.0 software (StatSoft, Inc., USA).RESULTS: The incidence of COVID-19-associated lesions in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract was as follows: stomach, 100.0%; duodenum, 25.0%; jejunum, 55.0%; ileum, 35.0%; cecum, 18%; ascending colon, 15%; transverse colon, 15% descending colon, 41% sigmoid colon, 55%; rectum, 75%. The lesion surface area in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract was as follows (%): stomach, 86,0 (75.0; 90.0); duodenum, 48,0 (39.0; 66.0); jejunum, 55.0 (50.0; 59.0); ileum, 35.0 (30.0; 41.0); cecum, 59.0 (55.0; 69.0); ascending colon, 34,0 (29.0; 41.0); transverse colon 36,0 (30.0; 42.0); descending colon 40.0 (34.0; 47.0); sigmoid colon 65,0 (61.0; 71.0); rectum 69.0 (65.0; 73.0). Ultrasound pattern in COVID-19-associated pathology of the gastrointestinal tract was uniform. Most often, foci of reduced echogenicity with indistinct and uneven margins were detected in the mucosa. Histologically, foci of lymphoid infiltration and formation of lymphoid clusters of B-lymphocytes were found in these areas.CONCLUSION: The most frequent ultrasound pattern in COVID-19-associated gastrointestinal tract involvement is the presence in the mucosa areas of reduced echogenicity with indistinct and uneven margins.
Upper Urinary Tract Decompression Using Ileal Ureter Replacement (IUR) In Comparison to Endoureteral Thermoexpandable Stent [Memokath® 051]
Authors: Akbarov Ilgar , Al-Mahmid Mustafa , Pfister David , Heidenreich Axel 
Published: October 2022

Background and Objective: The usage of permanent thermo-expandable stents and the definitive surgical treatment, like the ileal ureter replacement (IUR), both represent alternatives to repeated endourological stenting of long ureteral strictures. We aimed to assess the long-term outcomes and complications of the IUR compared to the use of Memokath® 051 for ureteral reconstruction. Material and Methods: In the last 10 years, two groups of patients with ureteral strictures (benign or malignant) have been followed up retrospectively. The first group presented with ureteral obstruction and was treated with an endoureteral thermo-expandable stent Memokath®, whereas the second group received an IUR as an alternative treatment method. All patients received follow-up examinations on an outpatient basis 3-4 weeks after hospital discharge, annual controls for long-term monitoring, and routine laboratory analysis and imaging of the upper urinary tract. The main outcome measure was the rate of successful upper tract decompression. Results: Mean patient age for the first group was 59 years and 55 years for the second group. In the first group (17 patients, 27 renal units), long-term upper tract decompression was successful in 6 renal units (35%); the remaining patients required auxiliary measures and further interventions. In the second group (27 patients, 32 renal units), upper tract decompression was achieved in 24 (88.8%) patients. Secondary complications occurred in 4 (14.8%) patients. Renal function remained stable in 25 of the 27 patients, and metabolic acidosis was not observed. Conclusion: The IUR is an effective reconstructive measure of the upper urinary tract with a low complication rate and decent long-term functional results. The IUR should be preferred to the Memokath, which can be seen as an alternative niche solution.
