“…This does not explicitly forbid web scraping per se, but rather necessitates the use of responsible web scraping practices, which we will describe in detail below. In addition to reviewing the terms of use, in this particular case, we also received written consent stating, “You’re welcome to use the content as you please” (Lawson, 2020).…”

Increased computing power and greater access to online data have led to rapid growth in the use of computer-aided text analysis (CATA) and machine learning methods. Using “big data”, researchers have not only advanced new streams of research, but also new research methodologies. Noting this trend and simultaneously recognizing the value of traditional research methods, we lay out a methodology that bridges the gap between old and new approaches to operationalize old constructs in new ways. With a combination of web scraping, CATA, and supervised machine learning, using labeled ground truth data (i.e., data with known inputs and outputs), we train a model to predict CIP (Charismatic-Ideological-Pragmatic) leadership styles from running text. To illustrate this method, we apply the model to classify U.S. state governors’ COVID-19 press briefings according to their CIP leadership style. In addition, we demonstrate content and convergent validity of the method.

“…Recognizing the different subcultures, course staff implemented an interpersonal empathetic response (Lawson et al, 2019), which prompted us to consider, understand and validate students' feelings and concerns, listen to their needs, and provide flexibility for them to succeed. This approach enabled us to focus on maintaining student engagement throughout the lockdown and the remainder of the academic year as COVIDrelated uncertainty became the norm.…”

“…The IL module is embedded as a key topic alongside other content (rather than an add-on), which means it is integrated into the curriculum regardless of who is coordinating the course, overcoming the challenge of the 'academic champion' (McGuinness, 2007). Angela also wrote a chapter about engaging with information and research that complements the online learning module in the textbook she co-authored specifically with her course in mind (Lawson et al, 2019).…”

Creating information literate students and future employees is an expected outcome of a tertiary education. This paper shares insights from a successful collaboration between an academic and three university librarians to create an online learning module designed to develop students’ professional information literacy capability: identifying business information types, searching online databases, and evaluating quality using a new indigenous-informed evaluation approach. Student learning was measured using reflective tasks and assessments. The paper challenges teachers and librarians to consider ways they can collaborate to explicitly embed information literacy (IL) skills development into large disciplinary courses, particularly during the transition into tertiary learning, to enhance lifelong learning capability and meet future workplace IL demands.
