Description
Introduction As academic librarians we prescribe an intellectual framework for research to students by referring to the "family of terms scholar-scholarly-scholarship" (Andresen 2000) and by touching upon the mechanics of peer-review in our instruction. Given the long list of goals to accomplish during a one-shot session in a lecture-handout format, we are pressed for time to elaborate on how we perceive this framework and the values it prescribes with respect to student learning. It might be reasonable to expect disciplinary faculty to take on this task and fill in the gaps for students, yet, in a one-on-one reference interaction with students, librarians very often find students underprovided; students come to the library completely baffled, not knowing why they are asked to look for scholarly sources and where this fits in the larger scheme of things. What librarians (and other academic participants) may have realized by now about academic values is that they are seldom made explicit, let alone defined.
