Automating for Success: Making Invisible Work Visible
Harlan, Lydia; Buxton, Kristin; Hayden, Gabriele
Knowing your value and optimizing your time can help meet your professional and institutional goals. We describe how an ad-hoc team of people from three different departments, with three different primary goals, were able to successfully complete a project to automate the collection and dissemination of cost-per-use data for continuing resources, saving our colleagues many hours of work, and creating a dashboard that requires little maintenance. In the process we learned a bunch of current technology—Power BI, APIs, and data visualization, to name a few that we can apply to other projects.

Afterword
Lee, Corliss S.; Lym, Brian
While working on this book, we encountered other intriguing writings that also
offered practical approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion in libraries. We
also found ourselves asking more questions that we hope other library researchers
will someday answer. This afterword is by no means a comprehensive overview
of DEI initiatives in libraries. Although recommendations are summarized
here, the articles all deserve a fuller reading.

Introduction
Lee, Corliss S.; Lym, Brian
Academic library workers often make use of systemic, bureaucratic, political, collegial, and symbolic dimensions of organizational behavior to achieve their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals, but many are also doing the crucial work of pushing back at the structures surrounding them in ways small and large. Implementing Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion captures emerging practices that academic libraries and librarians can use to create more equitable and representative institutions. 19 chapters are divided into 6 sections:
Recruitment, Retention and Promotion Professional Development Leveraging Collegial Networks Reinforcing the Message Organizational Change Assessment
Chapters cover topics including active diversity recruitment strategies; inclusive hiring; gendered ageism; librarians with disabilities; diversity and inclusion with student workers; residencies and retention; creating and implementing a diversity strategic plan; cultural competency training; libraries’ responses to Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action; and accountability and assessment. Authors provide practical guiding principles, effective practices, and sample programs and training. Implementing Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion explores how academic libraries have leveraged and deployed their institutions’ resources to effect DEI improvements while working toward implementing systemic solutions. It provides means and inspiration for continuing to try to hire, retain, and promote the change we want to see in the world regardless of existing structures and systems, and ways to improve those structures and systems for the future.

Using Podcasts for Assessing Information Research
Yannotta, Lauren; Lym, Brian; Kung, Shiao-Chuan
This paper reports on the use of podcast audio recordings to assess learning in a hybrid
information research course. Evidence of learning that appeared in the audio recordings and how
the project affected student learning were investigated. Findings suggest that student-created
podcasts can be beneficial in that instructors can see what students learned from the podcast
content; students can see evidence of own learning by looking at before and after podcasts; and
that students see methods used by other students and reflect on own methods/knowledge.
