Working on some slides for a new systematic review session.

Classic typo of meta-analysis to meat-analysis!

I'm sure there are some reviews out there that involve meat analysis 😆

Looking for unicorns
One of the things I’m heartily sick of is trying to find people to fill positions at my library who are willing to work for low pay in imperfect conditions for the “privilege” of working at a faith-based institution. As I’ve told others, what this really means is that for every position we try to fill, we are looking for unicorns.

This study examined perceptions of #EthicalPractices in service delivery among information professionals in #AcademicLibraries in Tanzania, including equitable access to information, accuracy in information delivery, user #privacy, responsible use of technology, and more. doi.org/10.1080/1522...
Perceptions of ethical practices in service delivery among information professionals in academic libraries in Tanzania Beth Kachota, Ronald Bernard, & Silver Hokororo Department of Informatics and Information Technology, Sokoine University of Agriculture, Morogoro, Tanzania This study examined perceptions of ethical practices in service delivery among information professionals in academic libraries in Tanzania. Such perceptions shape how professionals interpret and apply moral standards in providing services. The study specifically aimed to examine information professionals’ perceptions of ethical practices, the effectiveness of ethics in influencing service delivery, and the use of existing ethical guidelines in selected academic libraries. A cross-sectional research design was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, with data analyzed using SPSS. Findings revealed a generally positive perception of ethical practices, with over 60% of respondents acknowledging that ethical standards guide their service delivery. However, neutral responses indicated uncertainty and inconsistent application of ethics, often attributed to inadequate training and weak enforcement of guidelines. public services Quarterly 2025
