    Dynamic Duos: Interrogating Latin American Curricula through Faculty-Librarian Partnerships
    (2019) Alonso-Regalado, Jesús; Arbino, Daniel; Espinosa de los Monteros, Pamela; Vassallo-Oby, Christine; Ramos, Marisol; Venator-Santiago, Charles; Voigt, Lisa
    The ever-changing education and information landscape has brought with it an increased focus on teaching pedagogy and curriculum design. In response, Latin American Studies faculty are pursuing creative pedagogical directions and approaches in areas such as digital scholarship and information literacy in partnership with librarians and archivists. This roundtable will explore faculty-librarians practice-based initiatives focusing on issues related to the Global North and South. The uniqueness of this roundtable is that both the teaching faculty and the librarian representing each academic institution will be present. The University at Albany will discuss the redesign of a Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies undergraduate major, including a revamped theory and methods capstone, where both the faculty and the librarian actively participate in its development and implementation. The Ohio State University will examine the integration of digital humanities pedagogy and research methods into a course on the literatures and cultures of the Portuguese-speaking world. University of Connecticut will present on their award-winning project, The Puerto Rico Citizenship Archive Project, a library-faculty collaboration to create a database that gives access to all the documentation regarding the granting of U.S. citizenship to the people of Puerto Rico. Participants will explore the potential of faculty/librarian/archival partnerships to introduce transformative Latin American curricula and research practices. The roundtable will facilitate a discussion on best practices, lessons learned, scalable design and benefits to Latin American Studies faculty and students.

    Librarian for Latin American and Caribbean Studies in U.S. Academic and Research Libraries: A Content Analysis of Position Announcements, 1970-2007
    (2009) Alonso-Regalado, Jesús; Van Ullen, Mary
    The present research investigates the evolving requirements, roles, and responsibilities of the Latin American and Caribbean studies librarian. Content analysis was used to study 94 position announcements published from 1970 to 2007. Variables were examined from the following categories: position description, educational background, work experience, technology skills, languages, personal traits, duties, and subject responsibilities. Cross tabulations and chi-square tests were executed to determine the statistical significance of relationships between variables. An advanced degree in a related subject field is expected by employers. Strong Spanish language abilities are required, and a working knowledge of Portuguese is highly desirable. The average number of duties per announcement has increased over time, reflecting the evolution of the position from being narrowly specialized to being more diversified. The Latin American and Caribbean studies librarian may also be responsible for additional subjects, in particular Iberian studies.
