Community colleges offer a unique context in higher education and yet specific guidance on implementing the ACRL in community colleges is lacking. Semi-structured interviews with 30 community college librarians who had instruction duties explored the state of the implementation of the in community colleges and the effect of the recent pandemic on information literacy instruction (ILI). The is most lauded for its effect on the design and delivery of instruction, but its components mainly underpin ILI rather than being explicitly taught. The pandemic limited one-shot information literacy instruction but opened up opportunities for embedding librarianship in online courses. The value of this study lies in the potential for identifying opportunities for improving ILI in community colleges, based on a better understanding of librarians' attitudes and experiences of their instructional roles. Community college librarians with responsibility for ILI can be more fully supported when their instructional challenges are better understood.
社区学院在高等教育中提供了独特的环境,但目前缺乏关于在社区学院实施美国大学与研究图书馆协会(ACRL)标准的具体指导。对30名承担教学职责的社区学院图书馆员进行的半结构化访谈,探讨了ACRL标准在社区学院的实施状况以及近期疫情对信息素养教学(ILI)的影响。ACRL标准因其对教学设计和实施的影响而备受赞誉,但其组成部分主要是信息素养教学的基础,而非明确的教学内容。疫情限制了一次性的信息素养教学,但为将图书馆服务融入在线课程创造了机会。本研究的价值在于,基于对图书馆员教学角色的态度和经验的更好理解,有可能找到改善社区学院信息素养教学的机会。当更好地理解社区学院负责信息素养教学的图书馆员所面临的教学挑战时,他们就能得到更充分的支持。
