ALT Research article Understanding student citation literacy: A multi-method approach Kristen Howard & Nikki Tummon McGill Libraries, McGill University, Montreal, Canada This multi-method study investigated the citation literacy, the knowledge and ability to create and understand citations, of undergraduate students in the humanities and social sciences. Although a critical academic and information literacy skill, citation literacy is often given insufficient instructional time or attention. The authors evaluated citation accuracy in 25 APA and 25 Chicago style student papers and conducted a focus group. The aim was to better understand student citation behavior, perspectives on citations, and available support. The findings suggest the need for more citation literacy training at universities, which academic librarians are well positioned to offer.
My article on student citation literacy with colleague Nikki Tummon is now out in Public Services Quarterly! No subscription? I have eprints to share widely, just let me know!

Hey @HorsleyScott - there are actually a lot of replacements for eggs in baking! Mashed banana, applesauce, commercial egg replacer (usually potato based), silken tofu, and many vegans’ fave: flax “egg”. Friendly reminder considering the high cost of eggs this holiday season.
Egg prices jumped more than 8% in November and are up more than 37% in the last year. Bird flu has reduced the supply of eggs at a time of peak holiday demand. one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5223469:…
Looking forward to this tomorrow!
