“1st Amendment Rights, BABY!”: Banned Books Week on a College Campus
Get PDFSince 2021, the American Library Association has reported a marked increase in the number of book challenges in the United States. Public and school libraries, where most of these attempts at censorship occur, frequently celebrate Banned Books Week each fall, to raise awareness about the ongoing threat to intellectual freedom. College and university libraries face fewer book challenges and might not celebrate Banned Books Week; however, given the rise in number and visibility of conversations surrounding book banning, hosting events on the week’s theme offers academic libraries a way to engage their students thoughtfully in civic conversations. This practical article details the planning, promotion, and assessment process one university library in Alabama undertook as it responded to recent local issues by implementing programming during Banned Books Week

Examining Outcomes of Privacy Risk and Brand Trust on the Adoption of Consumer Smart Devices
Get PDFWith more connected devices on earth than there are people, Internet of Things (IoT) is arguably just as innovative as the original introduction of the Internet. Though much of the research on technology acceptance and adoption has been conducted in organizational settings, the consumer use of IoT technologies, such as smart devices, is becoming a fertile field of research. The merger of these research streams is especially relevant from a societal perspective as smart devices become more embedded in consumer’s daily lives, particularly with the introduction of the “meta verse.” While original technology acceptance research is limited to two system-specific characteristics (usefulness and ease-of-use), this study seeks to extend this foundation with the effects of privacy concerns (risk) and brand trust (trust) on user adoption of smart devices. Further, this analysis views antecedents on three different dimensions: (1) individual-specific, (2) company/brand-specific, and (3) system-specific characteristics
