“…, 2022; Baker, 2022), often leading to conspiratorial thinking. For example, one participant recalled a patron requesting a book recommended by the popular QAnon podcaster “The Praying Medic” (Rothschild, 2019). In another response, a patron was “citing false information … [referring] to rogue doctors who are anti-vax”.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether and in what ways library workers in the United States encountered patrons espousing beliefs in conspiracy theories and, if so, to explore the effectiveness of the strategies they used to address information disorder during the interactions.Design/methodology/approachThe study was designed with an exploratory qualitative approach. Data were collected via an online survey posted to national and state library association listservs, utilizing a self-selected sampling method. Researchers inductively and deductively analyzed results, developing predetermined themes based on the research questions, then iteratively integrating unexpected data during coding.FindingsA total of 334 responses were received over two weeks. Data represent library workers from 43 states and Washington, D.C., including various types of libraries. Library workers interacted with patrons with conspiratorial thinking, and both library workers and patrons evidenced a range of emotions and motivations.Originality/valueThis is the first national study to survey library workers and whether they encountered patrons espousing conspiracy theories. While the sample size is small, themes elucidate various strategies that library workers use for interacting with patrons who express some level of conspiracy ideation.

Psalms 1 and 2, combined in some witnesses, afford a significant inter-text for the accounts in Matthew and Luke, and so, in Q, for the Baptist, the baptism of Jesus, and the temptations. As does the combined psalm, the Baptist distinguishes the wicked as chaff from the fruitful righteous, and this constitutes, so Justin, a call to repentance. The combined psalm goes on to threaten kings and earthly judges, as does the Baptist, and proclaims instead the begetting of an (implied) Davidic figure, a proclamation repeated 'from heaven' in some texts of Luke. This divine adoption is then challenged by the diabolos, who attempts to usurp not only God's placing of his vice-regent on his holy hill of Zion, but also the divine gift of the uttermost parts of the earth. This reading of Ps. 1/2 is thus arguably significant for our reconstruction and reading of Q, for our reading of Luke, and, possibly, of the historical Baptist and of the historical Jesus.
