Abstract

In response to varied needs from Education students, faculty and researchers, UBC librarians and library students repurposed problematic books from Indigenous children’s literature collections into Critical Literacy Kits. By repackaging these problematic books, along with librarian-created learning materials and activity guides, these kits mediate access to problematic books and become a new tool for pedagogy. This article explores the intersection between critical literacy and the development of children’s literature collections in academic libraries, proposing that the creation of kits like this increases the learning potential of problematic books, and prevents the erasure of critical engagement with these materials.

摘要

为了响应教育学生、教师和研究人员的各种需求，UBC 图书馆员和图书馆学生将土著儿童文学收藏中的有问题的书籍重新用于批判性识字工具包。通过重新包装这些有问题的书籍，以及图书馆员创建的学习材料和活动指南，这些工具包可以调解对有问题的书籍的访问，并成为一种新的教学工具。本文探讨了批判性素养与学术图书馆儿童文学收藏发展之间的交叉点，提出创建这样的工具包可以增加有问题的书籍的学习潜力，并防止消除对这些材料的批判性参与。
