“…While the percentage of peer‐reviewed articles appearing in the bibliography each year has varied during the 2001‐2010 period, there has been a substantial overall increase from 47.0 percent in 2001 to 72.5 percent in 2010 (see Table II). The particularly large increase in percentage from 2009 to 2010 may be attributed, in part, to the exclusion of shorter pieces such as conference summaries and brief editorials, which began in 2010 (Johnson et al , 2011, p. 551). However, it is also clear that peer‐reviewed publications have represented an increasingly larger percentage of the body of literature covered in the bibliography from 2001 to 2010.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyze the literature on information literacy and library instruction from 2001-2010 published in the annual, comprehensive topical bibliography published in Reference Services Review. Design/methodology/approach -The authors examined 3,527 articles contained in the annual bibliography from 2001-2010 and identified 2,052 which appeared in peer-reviewed journals. Using the 2,052 articles identified as peer reviewed, the authors then determined the location of the primary author, the journal that published the article, whether the journal was from the discipline of library science, what type of research the article contained, and the key themes present. Findings -The number of articles in peer-reviewed journals has grown substantially over the ten-year period. Most articles (70 percent) were published by authors residing in the USA, but articles from Asia and Africa are now being seen on a more consistent basis. Reference Services Review has published the most articles on this topic during the period, but information literacy has also branched out into other non-library-specific disciplines. Empirical or theoretical research articles make up less than 50 percent of the total articles published, while case-study type descriptions of programmatic or teaching initiatives continue to be the most published article type. Key themes continue to be collaboration, assessment, and the application of technology to instruction efforts.Research limitations/implications -The findings are limited to peer-reviewed articles published in English-language journals. Originality/value -While other articles have examined aspects of the body of information literacy literature, this study encompasses a more comprehensive and thorough data set.

“…Several studies have examined those teaching traits that are most highly valued by instructional librarians and library administrators. Instructional design (Egbedokun et al , 2017), presentation skills (Johnson et al , 2007; Johnson et al , 2011), online instruction/distance teaching (Julien et al , 2018), and planning and leadership (Sproles et al , 2008) are all listed as desirable competencies or common job duties in instructional librarianship. There is a major question, however, as to how well LIS students are being prepared to meet these competencies.…”

Purpose Considerable overlap exists between the disciplines of library and information science and museum studies. Exploiting the overlap and examining those areas were library/museum instruction courses diverge may provide valuable insights for how to improve the quality of these courses and better prepare students for instructional roles in both disciplines. Design/methodology/approach Word frequency and thematic analysis of the instructional course descriptions for all 52 American Library Association-accredited Master of Library and Information Science programs in the USA and 49 museum studies and affiliated (e.g. MA in anthropology with museum studies concentration) programs is performed. Findings Each discipline has some specific language to describe tasks specific to itself (e.g. museums), but these comprise a small percentage of the total language usage. Among other terms and themes, overlap occurs at a rate of about 50%. The remaining 35-45% of terms and themes reveal areas that are emphasized in only one discipline, but could be beneficial to incorporate in the curriculum/content in both disciplines. Research limitations/implications This research builds on a growing corpus of work demonstrating relations between museum studies and library and information science, and their status within a metadiscipline of information; this research presents a comparison of course content that may inform future curriculum/content development. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no study of this type has been performed with museum studies courses, nor has a comparison between the two disciplines been investigated at this level.
