Libraries’ Faculty Publish Research Articles in Academic Journals

In the last year, WSU Libraries’ faculty and a research assistant have published research articles in various academic journals, bringing their scholarship endeavors to a broad audience.

The articles include the following:

• “Slowing Down Together: Reflections on Shared Practice in the Neoliberal University,” written by WSU Vancouver Library’s Carol Fisher, Sam Lohmann, and Sam Buechler for the Journal of Radical Librarianship. In this case study, library instruction workers at a four-year R1 university reflected on the timeline and process of creating an instruction working group and documenting a program centered on critical information literacy.
• “Collecting to Support Ukrainian Diaspora in Washington State,” written by Terrell and Owen Libraries’ Gabriella Reznowski and Emily Cukier, and research assistant Ruslan Mukhamedvaleev, for Alki: The Washington Library Association Journal. The article helped develop an understanding of the importance of collecting Ukrainian materials and the landscape of different allies working to preserve and disseminate Ukrainian literature, with the goal of enabling and encouraging Ukrainian book collection in Washington state libraries.
• “RECOVER Guidelines: Newborn Resuscitation in Dogs and Cats. Evidence and Knowledge Gap Analysis With Treatment Recommendations,” co-written by WSU Spokane Health Sciences Library’s Suzanne Fricke for the Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. This work systematically reviewed the evidence on, devised clinical recommendations for, and identified critical knowledge gaps in resuscitation of newborn puppies and kittens.
• “Well-Being Interventions for Rural Health Professionals: A Scoping Review,” co-written by WSU Spokane Health Sciences Library’s Suzanne Fricke for the Journal of Rural Health. The review identified interventions to promote well-being that have been tried or proven effective to prevent or address burnout in rural health care professionals and trainees. Secondarily, the authors aimed to identify potentially applicable and feasible well-being interventions that could help these individuals.
• “Climate Change and Nursing Research: A Scoping Review,” co-written by WSU Spokane Health Sciences Library’s Ann Dyer for Environmental Research: Health. The review mapped nurse scientists’ contributions to climate change and health research, including work about Indigenous peoples, and identified gaps and future opportunities.
