October 2018 473 C&RL News

Welcome to the October 2018 issue of C&RL 
News. Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is-
sues continue to be a major focus in higher 
education, including academic and research 
libraries. In this month’s issue, we begin a 
two-part series focusing on ways to promote a 
more inclusive work environment by Shamika 
Dalton and Michele Villagran. Their first article 
focuses on “Minimizing and addressing implicit 
bias in the workplace.”

Providing library services focused on non-
traditional and underrepresented students is 
another way to expand EDI awareness and 
focus. Carrie Girton, Krista McDonald, and Jamie 
E. Viars of Miami University write about their 
campus partnership to provide TRiO services in 
the library in “Strengthening student support.”

In this month’s Scholarly Communication 
column, ACRL President Lauren Pressley dis-
cusses strategies to successfully implement your 
scholarly communication agenda in “Catalyzing 
organizational change.”

Katie Wissel and Lisa DeLuca of Seton Hall 
University promoted scholarly communication 
activities on their campus by focusing on data 

services. They write about their promotional 
efforts in “Learning to love data (week).” At 
Texas A&M University-San Antonio, Marina Lee 
Narvaez used “A Money Smart Week” event 
to promote collaboration and partnership on 
campus and in the local community focusing 
on financial literacy.

Two articles this month focus on collec-
tion development issues. Jessica Strong and 
Quinn Galbraith write about their use of 
crowd theory in materials selection in their 
article “Letting the readers have a say,” and 
Tamara Weintraub, Brian Greene, and Glorian 
Sipman discuss “Weeding a shared e-book 
collection” through consortial collaboration.

Renee L. Hoffman writes about her efforts 
“Building a curriculum materials center from the 
ground up” to provide support for education 
students through the library.

Make sure to check out the other features and 
departments this month, including Internet Resourc-
es on the “Fashion industry” by Helen Taylor Lane 
and information on ACRL’s 2019 awards program.

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.
