The assumed answer might be "yes," but a recent case study showed there is more to it. This presentation will discuss an ethnographic study that explored and compared how a librarian and an instructor went about evaluating the quality of bibliographies students produced for the instructor’s class. The study attempted to unearth nuances in the respective practical approaches librarian and instructor took to assess a source’s quality as well as differences in what librarian and instructor might mean by “quality.” Findings included differences in the ways librarian and instructor applied indicators of quality in terms of frequency and weight. Findings also included that librarian and instructor looked to different aspects of citations to demonstrate common values, such as thoroughness. Additional findings included differences in librarian and instructor’s working definitions of “academic” and in their approaches to consulting the citation versus the full text of a cited source. The aim of the study was to make such implicit practices and expectations around “quality” explicit in order to better align librarians' and instructors' daily practice and in order to make such expectations more transparent to students.<br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="https://forms.gle/BTMLeWYDQBvFVsHEA" target="_blank" style="text-decoration-line:none"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">REGISTER</span></a><span style="background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-size:13pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Questions about our webinars can be directed to ACRL-Oregon President Rachel Bridgewater at <a href="mailto:acrlor@olaweb.org" target="_blank">acrlor@olaweb.org</a>.</span></p><br class="gmail-Apple-interchange-newline"></div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px;text-align:center"><font color="#000000"><b style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></b></font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);text-align:center"><font size="2" color="#000000"><b style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Candise Branum</b><br></font></div><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align:center"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Director of Library Services<br></font></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM)</font><br></span><font color="#999999"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="tel:(503)%20253-3443" value="+15032533443" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">503-253-3443 x134</a> | </span><font style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=75+NW+Couch+Street,+Portland,+OR+97209&entry=gmail&source=g" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">75 NW Couch Street, Portland, OR 97209</a></font></font><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> | </span><font color="#999999"><font style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><a href="https://library.ocom.edu/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">library.ocom.edu</a><br></font><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68)"><i style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Pronouns: She, her, hers<br></i></span></font><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68)"><i style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Want to donate?
