Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores the evolving landscape of library and information science, with a strong focus on data literacy, artificial intelligence (AI) in libraries, and ethical considerations in information management. Recent articles examine the development of data literacy skills for various populations, including the general public, students, and incarcerated individuals, and discuss the role of libraries in providing these skills. The impact of AI on library services, collections, and intellectual freedom is a recurring theme, alongside discussions on critical pedagogy and the ethical implications of AI technologies. Additionally, the journal addresses archival practices, the concept of neutrality in library services, and the use of libraries as platforms for health and well-being information, including resources for individuals with dementia.
