Facilitating difficult conversations through art: creating an anti-racism digital image library for health professions education

Racism has been recognised as a threat to patient outcomes, public health, and the healthcare workforce, and health professions (HP) educators and learners alike are seeking effective ways to teach anti-racism in HP education. However, facilitating conversations on race and racism in healthcare contexts can be challenging. Integrative arts and humanities approaches can engage learners in the critical dialogue necessary to educational interventions focused on anti-racism. Discussions of works of visual art, for instance, can leverage visual art as an avenue for indirection to balance introspection and revelation with psychological safety. Structured pedagogical frameworks that emphasise the perspectives and experiences of participants, such as the Visual Thinking Strategies approach, can lead to open-ended and collaborative discussions where participants can safely explore their assumptions in a space that encourages productive discomfort. Visual arts-based programs on anti-racism in HP are limited, though, in part because no collection of images exists to support HP educators in this endeavour. This paper describes the process of developing a digital image library to support HP educators seeking to generate discussions on race and racism as part of anti-racism curricula. We also highlight common themes, best practices, and potential pitfalls associated with use of the image library.

Analisis Kesiapan Perpustakaan Perguruan Tinggi Indonesia dalam Mengadaptasi Teknologi Metaverse melalui Teknik Delphi

Metaverse is not a new technology, and has also been adapted by several libraries abroad. In Indonesia, many studies are still needed related to metaverse technology adaptation in libraries and the library that is most likely to carry out this adaptation is the higher education library. This is because higher education libraries generally have more qualified resources than other types of libraries. This study aims to see the readiness of Higher Education Libraries in adapting the Metaverse technology which is an analysis of the opinions of sources selected based on their respective competencies (purposive sampling). This study uses the Delphi technique which is part of the forecasting technique, by prioritizing the formation of consensus which is achieved through structured communication that is systematic and interactive. Based on the results of the analysis, twenty-four points were found which became pillars of the readiness of librarians and higher education libraries in adapting metaverse technology, and seven of them became the main pillars, namely ecosystem, collaboration, infrastructure, tools, budget, role models and legal aspects. If all of these seven prerequisite points have been met in Higher Education, then the adaptation of metaverse technology can run well. Recommendations for further research related to the readiness of librarian resources in adapting the metaverse in the university library and how the acceptance of users and the expectations of users in adapting metaverse technology in the library is needed as a follow-up research.

The Impact of Digitization of Libraries on the Educational Process in the Context of Distance Learning

The aim of this work is to determine the effectiveness of the impact of digitization of libraries on the educational process in the context of distance learning. The aim was achieved through the use of the Likert scale, the coefficients of the sample value, effectiveness, and correlation. In most cases, students visit websites and blogs of the library to find materials for writing research papers (0.92), which contributes to the deepening of knowledge. A total of 81% of students were found to have a positive attitude towards using the benefits of digitization of educational libraries to support learning. During training, students obtained a high level of knowledge for understanding theoretical material (0.29) and writing research papers (0.28). The prospects of the study are related to the comparison of the effectiveness of the distance and traditional learning with the involvement of the possibilities of the digitization process of educational libraries.
