Where Is the Love? (/Rage/Joy, Etc.): Making Sense of the Missing Affect in the Framework as an Early Career Bibliotecóloga

Abstract

If you visited my former third grade classroom, you would find the “sentence frames”
pictured on the wall, along with a visual dictionary of a variety of emotions. These visual
anchors served to support my young multilingual students’ language and psychosocial skill
development foundational to elementary education. As a primary educator, it was critical
for students’ learning that I noticed how they felt and worked with them through their
emotional experiences. After pivoting professionally to academic librarianship, the question
of attending to students’ affective needs lingered as I set out to facilitate information
literacy (IL) learning experiences in the higher education library classroom
