They offer unique viewpoints and enrich the spaces they inhabit through their differences. However, educators often default to deficit thinking, an unintentionally harmful mindset that aims to support students by attempting to \"fix\" their perceived shortcomings. \u003cem\u003eDismantling Deficit Thinking in Academic Libraries \u003c\/em\u003eweaves theory, practice, and reflection to introduce deficit thinking and provide alternative strategies and educational principles that have the power to transform our work with students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, readers will explore the history of deficit thinking in higher education and how it has negatively impacted student learning, particularly for marginalized students. A discussion of pedagogical models that recognize students' prior knowledge and experiences, such as funds of knowledge, culturally relevant pedagogy, and open pedagogy, culminates in a series of principles for anti-deficit teaching. This is followed by an exploration of practical application of these principles in various academic library environments. Additionally, between sections or weaved within them, we have included reflections from critical information literacy educators who are actively engaged in anti-deficit education. Complementing each section of the book are reflective exercises that encourage readers to consider how their own experiences, privileges, and perspectives influence their positionality. This reflective work will unearth internalized deficit thinking and inspire ideas for applying alternative pedagogical models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDismantling Deficit Thinking in Academic Libraries \u003c\/em\u003eserves as a guide for librarians interested in the challenging but crucial work of reconceptualizing the academic library to honor the knowledge, experiences, and strengths students bring to the university community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBios\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChelsea Heinbach is a teaching and learning librarian at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where she works to create meaningful learning experiences for undergraduate students.
