“…Instantiation of more diverse, representative, and therefore impactful, information in the healthcare knowledge base may require LIS innovation. To this end, Herther (2020) advocates for information professionals to influence vendors and creators, while Gwynn et al (2019) propose LIS involvement in authorship.…”

“…LIS inherently lends itself to interdisciplinarity, with adjacent disciplines of publishing and authorship as vehicles for change (Gwynn et al, 2019). Libraries' capacity to collaborate, whether in establishing data standards, advocating for inclusion, or facilitation of outsider voices, can disrupt power structures (Inefuku & Roh, 2016).…”

COVID-19 illustrated health disparities experienced by racially minoritised people, with heightened risks faced by Black and South Asian communities lending the issue transparency and urgency. Despite efforts to decolonise medical education, deficits in racial representation in research and resources remain. This study investigates the potential and imperatives for healthcare information services to contribute to health equity through their collections. The literature analysis explores collection management, decolonisation, social justice in librarianship, and Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a framework for change in information contexts. A survey of UK National Health Service (NHS) librarians provides a snapshot of awareness of health information inequity. Semi-structured interviews explore information professionals’ experiences of anti-racism in the system. The findings indicate strong engagement with the need for equitable resources but highlight some barriers to success. Opportunities identified include potential for addressing systemic racism in collection policy, capability of information services to influence, or engage in, authorship and publishing to address gaps, and the need for race-based data standards in healthcare. Synthesis of the findings through a framework of CRT tenets illustrates the relevance and utility of CRT as a tool for pursuit of equity in information practice, scholarship, and education.

“…Table 5.1 synthesises a range of sources to illustrate the wide variety of activities and programs initiated by libraries in Asia, Europe and North America. Engaged libraries have moved beyond partnering with other cultural heritage institutions on digitisation programs to working with local organisations and individuals on knowledge exchange projects to preserve and 'publish' both historical and contemporary hidden materials, using public scanning events and oral history interviews to collect both analog and born-digital items, and thereby create, document and contextualise community and family histories as resources to support academic and community research and learning (Cho 2011;Gwynn, Henry & Craft 2019;McIntosh, Mangum & Phillips 2017). Libraries are also repurposing their institutional repositories as expertise locators (expert finders) to support institutional knowledge exchange endeavours (Sidorko & Yang 2011) and as public archives for digital artefacts (project documentation and final outputs) from communitycentred work, such as campus events and community-based teaching and learning (Makula 2019;Miller & Billings 2012;Moore, Collins & Johnston 2020).…”

“…This calls for more acquisition of information resources in digital formats and more digitizing of resources initiatives. Academic libraries at national and global levels are growing their collections of new forms of digital scholarship to improve access and to make contents widely available for users (Gwynn, Henry, & Craft, 2019). Sharing data involved extensive labour and skills which sometimes goes unrewarded (Borgman, Scharnhorst, & Golshan, 2019).…”

States and world institutions have globally recognized the right to quality education. One of the method to access quality education is via Open Educational Resources (OER) that operates under the concept of "openness" where knowledge should be freely shared and disseminated for all. Yet, copyright law appears to be an area of great concern hampering OER development. This paper begins by clarifying the fundamental right to education which can be supported by developing trends of using digital resources. It then describes some of the developments in achieving sustainable development goal towards quality education through OER. The paper then explains certain legal challenges hampering open education initiatives by highlighting relevant copyright laws at the international and domestic levels. This investigation takes the form of a qualitative case-study approach comparing Malaysia and Japan practices in respect of its OER initiatives within their higher education institutions. This study specifically examines related regulations extracted from relevant statutes, cases, reports and secondary sources available in both countries. There appears to be a growing tension between the desire to promote open access to quality education and the need to protect works even though OER may be useful and beneficial for society.
