Expertise and Service: A Call to Action
Although theological librarianship occurs most often at seminaries or graduate level theology programs, there are also librarians working with theology on an undergraduate level. In many cases, these librarians are responsible for additional subject areas and may or may not have any theological expertise or training. While the two groups do the same types of work, they are doing so in different ways. To explore these commonalities and differences, a study was conducted among undergraduate theology liaisons and those results were compared with the literature and data regarding graduate level theological librarianship. One hundred ten undergraduate librarians responded to a survey regarding theological liaison activities, and the results indicate both the need for more research and the need for further emphasis on undergraduate subject-area liaison duties in theology and adjacent areas

Embedded librarianship and problem-based learning in undergraduate mathematics courses
A pedagogical approach of problem-based learning with embedded librarianship
in several undergraduate mathematics courses is implemented in this educational
research. The students are assigned to work on several projects on various
applications of mathematical topics in daily life and submit written reports.
An embedded librarian collaborates together with the instructor and the
students to improve the students' information literacy. Initial reaction and
anecdotal evidence show that the students' information literacy and academic
performance have improved throughout the semesters.Comment: 4 pages, 2 tables, International Congress of Women Mathematicians

Educating the Central Asian Librarian: Considering the International MLIS in Kazakhstan
Why do Central Asian librarians enter the profession, and how do they decide which educational strategies to pursue in developing their careers? Using 13 conversations and 10 qualitative interviews with Kazakh and Kyrgyz librarians, this chapter finds that librarians enter the profession due to personal interest, by happenstance, or for university funding and continue when they perceive an opportunity for career growth as well as salary mobility. Central Asian librarians evaluate their educational options, including local bachelor's degrees; distance education from Russia; MLIS programs in Asia, Europe, or America; and short-term online training, while balancing family responsibilities and career prospects in and outside of librarianship. Prospects for creating a local MLIS or other improved professional training programs are discussed
