“…One reason for this is that IL research remains largely within the domain of librarianship (Bruce, Somerville, Stoodley, & Partridge, 2014). The development of IL as a concept and as a literacy has also generated from within the library and information sciences (Leaning, 2017). The result is that disciplinary faculty are less aware of methods to integrate IL effectively into their teaching practice (Bury, 2016).…”

Abstract Objective – While library literature contains many studies examining faculty perceptions of the value of librarian-led information literacy (IL)instruction, there is little evidence regarding IL instruction practices of disciplinary faculty independent of librarians. In a climate of uncertain budgets, increasing student enrollment, and increased conversation around the need for IL, media, and digital literacy skills, this study aimed to investigate a little-researched area of the IL instruction, learning, and development milieu. Methods – In collaboration with the institutional research office, a data and methods triangulation approach was used. A survey of disciplinary faculty was administered and disciplinary faculty focus groups were also conducted. Student outcomes and annual assessment reports, documents that describe teaching and assessment methods for courses across the university, were analyzed. Voyant, a text-mining tool, was also used to determine key phrases and terms related to IL in these documents. Results – Results revealed that disciplinary faculty highly value skills and understandings affiliated with IL competency. Faculty provide the majority of IL learning opportunities independent of librarians, although these learning opportunities are generally provided through implicit, rather than explicit, methods. Pedagogical methods that may enable explicit practices, such as the use of standards and competencies, are infrequently used. Conclusion – Evidence and findings from this study are being used to inform several initiatives to work with disciplinary faculty for IL instruction, including new services, resources, and instruction models to support IL development in students.

“…I built on social and media studies arguing that technologies are manipulated by human agents of a particular society for specific social situations, resulting in the creation of modes of usage that are specific to their social context (Bakardjieva, 2005; Leaning, 2009). Indeed, research from family communication literature demonstrates that transnational families use ICT to invent new ways of ‘doing family’ across space and time (Alinejad, 2021; Morgan, 1996; Şenyürekli and Detzner, 2009).…”

‘A wedding through a piece of glass’: Transnational Tunisian family communication as driver of ICT adoption

This study focuses on the role of ICT in transnational communication between family members, mainly between elderly parents and adult children living abroad. A semi-structured interview study ( N = 32) was conducted during Fall 2015 in three neighborhoods in the city of Sousse, Tunisia. In the study, Skype played a central role in the respondents’ transnational communication and a driving factor of technology adoption. Families used Skype to communicate with their migrant family members and virtually engage in family activities such as cooking and attending wedding events through the screens of their laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. In other words, Skype evolved from a simple online communication medium to a platform for a transnational family space; it assumes a Tunisian identity and essence stemming from the social practices and experiences of the Tunisian users and becomes shaped by their values and traditions.
