Open resources can address the gap in teaching timely and critical scholarly communication topics—copyright in teaching and research environments, academic publishing, emerging modes of scholarship, impact measurement—while increasing access to resources and equitable participation in education and scholarly communication. Scholarly Communication Librarianship and Open Knowledge is an open textbook and practitioner’s guide that collects theory, practice, and case studies from nearly 80 experts in scholarly communication and open education. Divided into three parts: What is Scholarly Communication? Scholarly Communication and Open Culture Voices from the Field: Perspectives, Intersections, and Case Studies The book delves into the economic, social, policy, and legal aspects of scholarly communication as well as open access, open data, open education, and open science and infrastructure. Practitioners provide insight into the relationship between university presses and academic libraries, defining collection development as operational scholarly communication, and promotion and tenure and the challenge for open access.15562024-01-14T02:58:11Z2024-01-14T02:58:11ZBusiness Communication: Five Core Competencies<img alt="Read more about Business Communication: Five Core Competencies" title="Business Communication: Five Core Competencies cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="467" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTA1OTYsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--43598b2212996dd70937651f5474b19dc3f9aaef/BookCover-1-350x467.png" />Business Communication: Five Core Competencies is a practical, engaging book designed to help undergraduate students and business professionals develop competence and build confidence in their business writing skills.

Writing is about communication, and, if we do not feel that we have an audience, then it can seem like our writing has no purpose (even though practice of any kind will help us develop these skills). Heritages of Change: Curatorial Activism and First-Year Writing is a method for students to think about the social changes that were prevalent during the COVID years and remain important in their wake. Heritages of Change is a lens for thinking and writing about these ideas. Through curation and exhibition as an act of activism, students focus on a specific audience with whom they can communicate authentically about this dynamic world.16122024-03-04T01:28:08Z2024-03-18T18:38:16ZBuilding Bridges: Establishing a Foundation for Interprofessional Collaboration in Healthcare<img alt="Read more about Building Bridges: Establishing a Foundation for Interprofessional Collaboration in Healthcare" title="Building Bridges: Establishing a Foundation for Interprofessional Collaboration in Healthcare cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEyNDEsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--51772a99dc1cdf422a09983d9901b6cc586c0649/Yellow-Professional-Gradient-Tech-Business-Flyer-350x453.png" />Building Bridges: Establishing a Foundation for Interprofessional Collaboration in Healthcare is an Open Educational Resource (OER) that focuses on teaching interprofessional collaboration in healthcare to students entering their respective health profession's program.

This book attempts to meet the needs of graduate students, in-service teachers, and any other educators interested in action research and/or self-study. The chapters of this book draw on our collective experiences as educators in a variety of educational contexts, and our roles guiding educator/researchers in various settings. All of our experiences have enabled us to question and refine our own understanding of action research as a process and means for pedagogical improvement. The primary purpose of this book is to offer clear steps and practical guidance to those who intend to carry out action research for the first time. As educators begin their action research journey, we feel it is vital to pose four questions: 1) What is action research, and how is it distinct from other educational research?; 2) When is it appropriate for an educator to conduct an action research project in their context?; 3) How does an educator conduct an action research project?; 4) What does an educator do with the data once the action research project has been conducted? We have attempted to address all four questions in the chapters of this book.15872023-10-01T00:00:00Z2024-03-01T18:05:11ZHealth Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition<img alt="Read more about Health Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition" title="Health Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition cover image" class="cover " width="679" height="1024" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTExNTgsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--76d561bf6e6bdcd0d0776229f22672928c603cb5/Cov-Dev-2-option-1-679x1024.png" />This work was created by members of the Medical Library Association’s Collection Development Caucus to provide librarians with key concepts about health sciences collection development. The chapters provide an overview of the responsibilities and tasks involved in the development and management of health sciences collections; it is recommended that readers refer to the references and further reading sections in each chapter for a more detailed look at each topic. The first edition was published in 2019 and was updated with a second edition in 2023. This updated edition has a new section on unique collection genres; addresses Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in collections; incorporates significant updates to and expansion of previous content; and includes a glossary. New additions to each chapter, as applicable, include key communities and online courses for professional development.15692024-01-14T05:28:30Z2024-01-14T05:28:30ZConducting Mixed-Methods Research: From Classical Social Sciences to the Age of Big Data and Analytics<img alt="Read more about Conducting Mixed-Methods Research: From Classical Social Sciences to the Age of Big Data and Analytics" title="Conducting Mixed-Methods Research: From Classical Social Sciences to the Age of Big Data and Analytics cover image" class="cover " width="646" height="846" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTA2NjAsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--ef9c9c63cfafe5e048fe9f3a561eb0bf6115f8c2/conducting.jpg" />Scholars in the social sciences are increasingly expected to incorporate both quantitative and qualitative techniques and methods into their research. The growth of “mixed-methods” research is evident in social science disciplines ranging from psychology and management to marketing and information systems. This book is designed to provide principles, strategies, and guidance specifically for researchers in these disciplines so that they can use mixed-methods research more effectively. In thirteen chapters, Conducting Mixed-Methods Research takes readers through the research process, from defining research questions to writing articles using a mixed-methods approach. For those who are well trained in either qualitative or quantitative methods, the book shows them how to think about the purposes of mixed-methods research, design mixed-methods studies, and develop meta-inferences by integrating findings from both methods. Throughout, the discussion is grounded in examples taken from published research, carefully chosen to highlight best practices, thus opening a window into a broad body of mixed-methods research applications.
