Next Event in our Speaker’s Series: Threats to Democracy: Common Core and the Challenge of Discussing Education Policy in a Democracy
#SHU_Libraries is pleased to announce the next event in our Speaker’s Series: Critical Issues in Information and Education: “Threats to Democracy: Common Core, and the Challenge of Discussing Education Policy in a Democracy.”
The event will be held on Sunday, September 16th in Jubilee Hall Auditorium at 11 a.m. The event will feature Jonathan Cope, Reference Librarian at the College of Staten Island, and Dr. Nicholas Tampio, Associate Professor of Political Science at Fordham University.
The University Libraries’ Speaker’s Series focuses on the intersection of educational and informational issues.
About Our Speakers
Jonathan Cope is a Reference/Instruction Librarian at the College of Staten Island (CSI), CUNY. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Politics from Antioch College, a Master of Library and Information Science from Queens College, CUNY, and Master’s in Liberal Studies from The Graduate Center, CUNY. His research is focused on the ways in which library and information literacy work is situated within specific social, cultural, economic, and disciplinary contexts. He is particularly interested in the politics of libraries and library work. Jonathan is the author of a book chapter which discusses the applicability of social power research to information literacy and an article about the ideal of librarianship as an intellectual craft. He is the coauthor of an article about information literacy in the study of American politics and he is the coauthor of an article that details a study of how disciplinarity influences how faculty outside of the library conceptualize information literacy. He is also the author of an article on neoliberalism and library and information science and an essay that outlines a framework that can be used to analyze socially-generated information.
Nicholas Tampio, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Fordham University. In his new book Common Core: National Education Standards and the Threat to Democracy (Johns Hopkins University Press 2018), Tampio considers the best arguments for and against national education standards and scrutinizes the Common Core English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, the Advanced Placement US History Curriculum Framework, and the National Sexuality Education Standards. He argues that national educational standards alienate citizens from the local schools thereby making education and democracy worse. His talk considers how democracies ought to foster the right kinds of discussions about education policy.

Seton Hall University Libraries Receives Technology award
I am pleased to announce that the Rethinking Resource Sharing (RSS) Innovation Award Committee has recognized Seton Hall University Libraries “for their process of innovating across all library services” with an Honorable Mention in this year’s award cycle. The notification e-mail stated that:
“The pool of nominations for the Innovation Award is always competitive and this year was no exception. We are pleased to inform you that we have awarded you an Honorable Mention….. We are impressed with the work you have done and would like to acknowledge and celebrate your efforts within the Resource Sharing community. … Congratulations to you and your team and thank you very sincerely for your efforts to improve resource sharing overall.”
Seton Hall’s application was for “the entire process that led us to numerous, small-scale, problem-solving innovations of importance to libraries our size from a challenging baseline” over the course of several years. The letter of support from OCLC noted that “SHU was critical in ensuring that their new cloud-based management service would work well with the legacy client-server software that allowed for material fulfillment for their users”, and EBSCO’s letter of support noted that SHU was “focused on building a library system which leveraged technology, a good user experience, and a long range plan. That progressive Seton Hall vision led EBSCO and OCLC by improving their partnership surrounding API interoperability” – among other large and small innovations over the years.
The RSS Innovation award (RRS Manifesto) is sponsored by Atlas Systems, and this year’s winners were the Information Delivery Services (IDS) Project, based primarily in the State University of New York system, and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Libraries for developing an automated alternative to paper-based archival resource sharing. A fellow Honorable mention went to the University of Ottawa Libraries.
