Globalization, corporate hegemony, Internet search engines, and technologies such as virtual reference contribute to an environment where the librarian must be aware of personal and external biases in order to make appropriate decisions. The resources presented touch on ethics, neutrality, social responsibility, advocacy, selection and censorship. This broad spectrum of bias related topics will be especially helpful for librarians providing reference services and collection development in today’s library information environment.

The results were surprising and challenging, yet productive in forming a benchmark for further collaboration between librarians and faculty in student use of library services and resources.

Teaching Government Information in Information Literacy Credit Classes http://digitalcommons.kennesaw.edu/glq/vol50/iss1/9 http://digitalcommons.kennesaw.edu/glq/vol50/iss1/9 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 07:36:20 PST This paper reviews the teaching of credit-bearing information literacy courses and government information, reports questionnaire responses from librarians who teach these courses, and argues that revising the ways we teach government information in for-credit courses will help students achieve information literacy. A focus on government information as critical thinking and subject access resources, rather than as unique documents collections or formats, can remove barriers for researchers, particularly in classes that allow students an entire term to develop skills. In addition, librarians will increase their comfort levels addressing government information and develop ways to teach students to use these resources within a meaningful context for their research. The ability to find, evaluate, and effectively use government information resources will empower students to become lifelong learners, seekers, and even engaged citizens, whatever their post-graduation information needs may be.

However, this data can used to great effect externally to advocate for additional resources, staff, and other library needs. This article shows how one library used already existing statistics to push external stakeholders into granting more staff and other resources for the library's use.
