September 2018 405 C&RL News

Welcome to the September 2018 issue of C&RL 
News. Along with the start of a new academic 
year, it is the start of conference season here 
in the ACRL office. This month we begin our 
series of articles leading up to the ACRL 2019 
conference, coming up April 10-13, 2019, in 
Cleveland. Mandi Goodsett, Evan Meszaros, 
Michelle S. Millet, and Jennine Vlach of the 
conference Local Arrangements Committee 
kick off the series with an introduction to our 
host city in “Welcome to Cleveland.”

In this issue’s Perspectives on the Frame-
work column, Ethan Pullman of Carnegie 
Mellon University provides a teacher learner 
perspective on “Applying the Framework as 
a reflective tool.”

Since 2015, the Association of Research 
Libraries has held a number of institutes for 
liaison librarians. Rita Vine of the University of 
Toronto provides observations gleaned from the 
institutes in her article “Realigning liaison with 
university priorities.”

Heather Joseph of SPARC writes about re-
sponding to vendor acquisitions of repository 
and analytics products by “Securing community-

controlled infrastructure” in this month’s Schol-
arly Communication column.

Working with students to increase media lit-
eracy continues to be a focus for many libraries. In 
their article “Pizzagate and a slice of free speech,” 
Callie Wiygul Branstiter, Rebecca Orozco, Carmen 
Orth-Alfie, and Karna Younger from the University 
of Kansas discuss their efforts at providing media 
literacy education outside of the classroom setting.

In this issue’s The Way I See It essay, Michael 
Epstein of the University of San Diego reflects on 
using proactive chat as a reference strategy in “That 
thing is so annoying.”

This month we also look back at the 2018 ALA 
Annual Conference in New Orleans with our annual 
roundup of ACRL programs and Board of Direc-
tors’ actions. Many thanks to all the reporters who 
volunteered to write program summaries.

Make sure to check out the other features and 
departments this month, including information on 
the benefits of being a student member of ACRL 
and a look at the September issue of College & 
Research Libraries from editor Wendi Kaspar.

Thanks as always for reading the News!

American Military Camp Newspapers

From the mobilization period in 1916 through the 
occupation of Germany in 1919 these publications 
kept soldiers informed about the home front, 
political questions of the day, progress of their 
training, and the state of the war abroad. 
Descriptions of personnel, places and events along 
with many non-war related items bring these 
camp scenes to life as never before.
