“…, 2019). Given the coverage similarities between LIS databases, the 453 actively indexed titles and our access, we believe that LISTA would help us capture a sizeable amount of LIS research. SCOPUS - We selected this article index to search to increase our access to international publications, especially in non-English speaking countries (Yoon et al ., 2023), and literature about teaching in higher-education contexts from a variety of other disciplines. Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) - We selected this nationally funded education database as a highly respected source of education scholarly journal articles and reports since 1966. Beyond including LIS literature, it also helps capture K-12 information literacy related content (Corby, 2009) which may be of interest to academic librarians. ProQuest Dissertations and Theses - Though ERIC and LISTA both contain theses and dissertations, we wanted to ensure inclusion of as many theses as possible for 2022 on the subject of information literacy, and this dedicated database assisted in that goal.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to present recently published resources on library instruction and information literacy. It provides an introductory overview and a selected annotated bibliography of publications organized thematically and detailing, study populations, results and research contexts. The selected bibliography is useful to efficiently keep up with trends in library instruction for academic library practitioners, library science students and those wishing to learn about information literacy in other contexts.Design/methodology/approachThis article annotates 340 English-language periodical articles, dissertations, theses and reports on library instruction and information literacy published in 2022. The sources were selected from the EBSCO platform for Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Elsevier SCOPUS and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. Sources selected were published in 2022 and included the terms “information literacy,” “library instruction,” or “information fluency” in the title, subject terms, or author supplied keywords. The sources were organized in Zotero. Annotations were made summarizing the source, focusing on the findings or implications. Each source was then thematically categorized and organized for academic librarians to be able to skim and use the annotated bibliography efficiently.FindingsThe paper provides a brief description of 340 sources from 144 unique publications, and highlights publications that contain unique or significant scholarly contributions. Further analysis of the sources and authorship are provided.Originality/valueThe information is primarily of use to academic librarians, researchers, and anyone interested as a quick and comprehensive reference to literature on library instruction and information literacy published within 2022.

“…Tsinghua University Library 1998 introduced the practice of subject service. In 2003, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Documentation and Intelligence Center in the field of professional libraries established the subject librarian system [3][4][5]. In September 2008, research libraries such as Shanghai Jiaotong University Library and Zhejiang University Library also started to introduce subject services [6][7].…”

In the evolving landscape of library services, propelled by advancements in Internet technology and service paradigms, this study utilizes cloud-based lending data from college libraries to improve user profiling and subject-specific lending. Integrating the K-means algorithm with a Boolean matrix-enhanced Apriori algorithm, we devise a data mining model that fine-tunes detecting patterns in user borrowing behaviors. This approach distinguishes five distinct subject areas: energy, computing, electronic communication, machinery, and environmental chemistry. The outcome reveals a bibliographic association rule mining confidence of up to 79.38%, a 30% increase over conventional methods. Moreover, it generates three notable 2-item sets. Our model introduces a groundbreaking way to offer personalized library services, significantly enriching the user experience with tailored subject information.

“…Therefore, the measurement of journal internationalization from the perspective of geographically representative scholarship has reached a consensus (Begeny, 2018; Begeny et al, 2018; Dyachenko, 2014; Dymond et al, 2000). Unfortunately, current studies are exploratory and descriptive and rarely construct bibliometric measures for a journal's international orientation (Yoon et al, 2023; Zhang et al, 2021). One exceptional study is Moed et al (2020), who employed two indicators to provide an overview of the internationality orientation of journals within the Scopus database; that is, the percentage of papers (co‐)authored by researchers from the country publishing the largest number of papers in the journal (INO‐P) and the percentage of citations by researchers from the country contributing the largest number of citations to the journal (INO‐C).…”

This study created a comprehensive Country Diversity Score (CDS) index to measure the degree of journal internationality from a diversity perspective, based on publishing authors' affiliation countries. It calculates CDS values and analyses their distribution across countries, publication languages, disciplines, subjects, and journal impact factor (JIF) quartiles for 11,481 journals, and addresses the correlation between CDS and JIF. Empirical studies indicate that journals with authors evenly distributed across more countries are more likely to obtain a higher CDS value. English publications have a relatively high CDS worldwide, and the non‐English publications of a country have a lower CDS than its English‐language publications. In addition, this study found a positive correlation between journal internationality and JIF in terms of the geographical distribution of publishing authors. Implications and recommendations for improving geographical authorship diversity, particularly in the context of internationalization, are discussed.
