October 2019 489 C&RL News

Welcome to the October 2019 issue of C&RL 
News. Starting out this month’s issue is the 
latest installment of our Perspectives on the 
Framework column. Jillian Collier of Sparten-
burg Community College discusses how the 
Framework can be applied in the commu-
nity college setting in her article “Pick Your 
Battles.”

Continuing the community college focus, 
Andrea Rodgers of Delaware Community Col-
lege writes about her library’s experiences with 
Kanopy in her article “Once upon a time in 
streaming video.”

This month’s Scholarly Communication col-
umn focuses on “Learning by doing” through 
the lens of the creation of an open access jour-
nal by MLIS students at the Western University 
Library. Allison Langham-Putrow and Amy 
Riegelman take a look at the “Discovery and 
scholarly communication aspects of preprints” 
in this month’s Internet Resources feature.

Academic libraries continue to experiment 
with creative outreach ideas. Librarians at 
Texas State University created a tattoo design 
competition to increase student engagement, 
while a campus conversation series at the 
University at Albany-SUNY helps keep the 
library at the heart of campus life.

Caleb Nichols of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo 
continues the ongoing conversation around 
textbooks in the library with his article “In de-
fense of course reserves,” while Natalie Haber, 
Melissa Cornwell, and Andrea Hebert discuss 
the creation and application of a worksheet 
mapping the ACRL Distance Learning Library 
Standards.

Make sure to check out the other features 
and departments this month, including a 
The Way I See It essay on “Advocating for 
students through encouragement” by Toc-
cara D. Porter.
