Associate professor\/librarian Elizabeth Ramsey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Elizabeth Ramsey, associate professor and librarian at Boise State University\u2019s Albertsons Library recently published a <\/span>peer-reviewed article<\/span><\/a>. Ramsey\u2019s collaboration with Isaac Castellano, <\/span>political science professor, and Anthony Ellertson, director of the Games, Interactive Media and Mobile technology program,<\/span> helped secure a grant from the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Program.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAcademic librarians are the ultimate interdisciplinarians, and would seem to be natural research collaborators, but many struggle to be seen as peers by other faculty or called on to fully partner in research projects even when key information literacy objectives are involved,\u201d explains Ramsey. This paradox was put to the test when <\/span>Castellano <\/span>invited her to join the team who was eventually awarded the grant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramsey\u2019s research about misinformation online and in social media included establishing last spring\u2019s Disinfo Squad. Boise State undergrads were hired into the squad and then trained as information literacy educators and influencers in the community. This idea supported the grant by attempting to strengthen community resistance to the disinformation that often factors in extremist belief and action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The article documents Ramsey\u2019s successful partnership with on- and off-campus groups to help fulfill the grant\u2019s mission to combat the increase in rising domestic terrorism. It is also an encouraging \u201chow to\u201d process for including faculty librarians in research and developing practical solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
