The basic premise of neurodiversity is that there is no "normal"
baseline for brain processes, but that all individual brains vary
and therefore are diverse. The CAST organization estimates that 11%
of college students enrolling in post-secondary campuses having a
learning disability or learning difference. As neurodiverse
students enroll in post-secondary education, the environments
within which these students learn, can either support or impede
their ability to succeed. Simply put, a neurodiverse campus
population means that educators recognize that all students process
and learn differently and must adapt our approaches and services in
order to reach and support all students enrolled on our campuses.
Neurodiverse students are a growing population on today's college
campus. Their growing presence prompts new approaches to support
their success and change traditional student services and
collegiate experiences. This practical guide: Assists readers in
better understanding neurodiverse students and the way campus
services can create welcoming environments Explores the role
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Executive Functioning (EF)
plays in student success, and Focuses on specific collegiate
offices and services that effectively address the needs of
neurodiverse learners. Chapters cover tutoring, learning supports,
academic coaching, academic advising, career services, residential
living, and classroom experiences that impact and assist
neurodiverse college students.

Librarianship is both an art and a science. Librarians study the
science of information and how to work with clients to help them
find solutions to their information needs. They also learn quickly
that there is an art to working with people, to finding the answers
to tough questions using the resources available and knowing which
information resources to use to find the information being sought
in short order. But, what technical skills do librarians need to be
successful in the future? How can library managers best develop
their staffs for success? Developing Librarian Competencies for the
Digital Age explores questions such as: 1.What is the composition
of a modern library collection? 2.Will that collection look
different in the future? 3.What are the information sources and how
do we manage those? 4.What are the technical skills needed for a
21st century librarian? 5.How will reference services change and
adapt to embrace new ways to interact with library patrons or
clients? 6.What kinds of library skills are needed for the
librarian of today to grow and thrive, now and into the future?
7.How will service models change to existing clients and how will
the model change going into the future of librarianship? 8.What
kinds of budgeting challenges are there for libraries and the
administrators who oversee these libraries? 9.What do the library
professional organizations see as the core skills needed for new
graduates and those practicing in the profession going into the
future? In answering those questions, the book identifies specific
digital skills needed for success, ways of developing those skills,
and ways of assessing them.
