Many respondents are engaged in staff development with internationalization dimensions and international library benchmarking and research paper presentation at international conferences with institutional support.Practical implicationsThe results of this study could benefit the profession and library managers by deepening the managers' understanding of the role of libraries in the internationalization of Philippine higher education.Originality/valueThis study will be of interest and value to library and school administrators interested in developing or expanding internationalization activities that positively respond to the redefinition of the role of libraries and librarians in globalization.

“…Through an abolitionist lens: are current pedagogical responses to inclusive classrooms enough? Many library educators have identified the ways in which library classrooms are noninclusive spaces through an emphasis on hegemonic information models and the role of the dominance of white information and knowledge traditions (Cowden et al, 2021). As Ladson-Billings's work gained traction, three different but related asset-based pedagogies were developed to address these challenges: culturally relevant pedagogy (requiring cultural competence), culturally responsive pedagogy (culturally relevant pedagogy that requires high expectations for students and honors different communication styles) and culturally sustaining teaching (culturally responsive pedagogy that invites community agency and roots curricula in students' communities' histories) (Will and Najarro, 2022).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to make visible the field's propensity to center whiteness even in engaging inclusive practices in information literacy classrooms. This paper offers abolitionist pedagogy as a means to understand and address these concerns.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses interdisciplinary research methods in the fields of education, library science, feminist studies, Black studies and abolition studies to examine and provide an analysis of current information literacy practices by using abolitionist pedagogy to articulate how it is possible to expand information literacy instruction practices.FindingsCurrent information literacy practices and methods that seek to create inclusive learning environments for racialized and minoritized learners rely on a set of institutionalized practices such as critical information literacy and culturally sustaining pedagogies. An examination of these practices through an abolitionist pedagogical lens reveals how the field has engaged in reductive and uncritical engagement with these methods despite employing them to create inclusive spaces. Using abolitionist pedagogy as a lens, this critical essay examines the field's foundations in whiteness and illustrates pathways for transformative educational justice.Originality/valueThere has been much work on inclusive teaching practices that discusses challenging information literacy structures' reliance on dominant culture.? To date, there has been little to no scholarship on how information literacy practices could engage in abolitionist pedagogical praxis.

“…Providing library programs that embrace cultural backgrounds can increase community engagement, similar to how culturally responsive teaching can increase student engagement. Citing Ladson-Billing's (1994) research, Cowden et al (2021) posit that library services that incorporate cultural references provide a "bridge from patrons' experiences to the mainstream culture and validate their ethnic backgrounds and life experiences" (p. 233). For example, Queens library hosted a Latin hip hop program in Corona, a neighborhood where 63% of the population self-identified as Hispanic on the 2010 Census (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010).…”

Queens Public Library (New York, USA) has presented a variety of hip hop programs and worked with many hip hop artists and entrepreneurs. A holistic examination of the library's hip hop programs and partnerships illustrates a model for analyzing hip hop itself. The authors are calling the three components of this new model: 1) Narrative, 2) the Global Local Echo, and 3) Connection. This article explains this new model in more detail, using examples from Queens Public Library.
