The Case For Graphic Novels, Steven Hoover
The Case For Graphic Novels, Steven Hoover
Communications in Information Literacy
Many libraries and librarians have embraced graphic novels. A number of books, articles, and presentations have focused on the history of the medium and offered advice on building and maintaining collections, but very little attention has been given the question of how integrate graphic novels into a library's instructional efforts. This paper will explore the characteristics of graphic novels that make them a valuable resource for librarians who focus on research and information literacy instruction, identify skills and competencies that can be taught by the study of graphic novels, and will provide specific examples of how to incorporate graphic novels …

Interface, Spring 2012, School Of Information Sciences
Interface Newsletter
Behind the unflagging spirit of SIS there are three themes that resonate throughout this issue of Interface. First, the School continues to be client-centric and is working hard to reach out to all of its constituencies—the students, the alumni and to its many friends and partners. Second, we have become more focused setting priorities and aligning our resources to achieve our goals and outperform as never before in research, teaching and service. And third, how we look is part of who we are—professional, innovative, and successful. You will discover these themes as you read about personnel changes that have occurred …

If You Build It, Will They Come? Building The Collaborative Infrastructure And The Ohiolink Collaborates Toolbox, Barbara J. Strauss, Margaret Maurer, Julie Gedeon
Michael Schwartz Library Publications
This research examines how libraries are collaborating, why libraries collaborate, and seeks the environmental conditions that foster successful cross-institutional collaborations. The Ohio Library and Information Network (OhioLINK) Consortium’s CollaboraTeS Project is examined, to inventory expertise and needs within the OhioLINK community and the members’ willingness to share, barter or contract their expertise with other OhioLINK institutions. This is followed by an examination of a sample of North American collaborative projects to identify environmental conditions that foster collaborations in North American libraries. A brief survey within the OhioLINK environment was then conducted that validated anecdotal evidence that the CollaboraTeS Toolbox has …

Beyond A Fad: Why Video Games Should Be Part Of 21st Century Libraries, Kym Buchanan, Angela M. Vanden Elzen
Beyond A Fad: Why Video Games Should Be Part Of 21st Century Libraries, Kym Buchanan, Angela M. Vanden Elzen
Library Publications and Presentations
We believe video games have a place in libraries. We start by describing two provocative video games. Next, we offer a framework for the general mission of libraries, including access, motivation, and guidance. As a medium, video games have some distinguishing traits: they are visual, interactive, and based on simulations. We explain how these traits require and reward some traditional and new literacies. Furthermore, people play video games for at least three reasons: immersion, challenge, and connection. Finally, we offer guidelines and examples for how librarians can integrate video games into library collections and programming.
The Horror, The Horror: Graduate Student Information Seeking And Horror In Academia Bibliography, Lizzy A. Walker
The Horror, The Horror: Graduate Student Information Seeking And Horror In Academia Bibliography, Lizzy A. Walker
Lizzy A. Walker
Horror has taken a seat at the table of academia. This genre of film has spurred academia to take a closer look at them. Gender studies, the arts, philosophy, and other humanities studies can benefit from a specific reference section in regard to horror. Graduate status is seemingly a line between undergraduate and faculty patterns and, as such, there is a difference in how they conduct research and information seeking. While it is clearly their own way of gathering information, it is a combination of the motions performed by undergraduates and faculty. More specifically, graduate students in the humanities have …

School Library Circulation Records: What Do They Reveal About Boys' Reading Preferences?, Chelsea Sims
School Library Circulation Records: What Do They Reveal About Boys' Reading Preferences?, Chelsea Sims
Graduate Research Papers
The purpose of this study was to examine what if any patterns emerge in the library checkout habits of elementary school age boys in consecutive grades and to compare them to common assumptions of which books boys prefer to read. A quantitative bibliometric method was used to analyze and count the circulation records of forty-four students over a three year period. The circulations to the boys in the study were compared to the circulations to the girls. Records revealed that on average, boys in third grade borrowed more books than the girls in the study, but girls selected more books …
