Show Me The Article!: Helping Students Understand The Library's Role In Accessing Scholarly Information, Todd J. Wiebe
Todd J Wiebe
A fundamental concept that students need to understand about performing research at the college/university level is that, contrary to what they may believe or have been accustomed to thinking, the entire sum of human knowledge is not openly accessible to anyone for free via the Internet. Often times, students need to "see it to believe it" –or, more importantly, grasp it–by experiencing first-hand how the library and free web intersect. We should not assume that the divide between what is available freely on the Internet and the content provided by, and only accessible via campus libraries is automatically or commonly …

Leveraging The "Google Mentality": 1search And The New (Inter)Face Of Library Discovery, Todd J. Wiebe, Jessica Hronchek

1Search is a "discovery tool" that allows users to explore a large and diverse range of library content (e.g., books, e-books, full-text articles, other digital collections)—all from a single search box. Librarians plan to leverage the simplicity of 1Search as a library gateway to open up new opportunities for teaching information literacy.

Faculty Writing Circles: Freedom To Explore And Flourish, Ludwika Goodson, Martha Coussement, Shannon Johnson
Shannon F Johnson
Asked to launch a faculty writing circle, our Center joined faculty to shape its mission and give members a “safe space,” a “source of accountability” (Nole, Hart, Soled, 2010), and writing support. We will report on milestones, resulting publications and presentations, library collaboration, and university wide writing initiatives showing the circle's evolution into a community of practice and how it has “harnessed the multiplier effects of collaborative processes...building upon informal networks within entities” (Nagy & Burch, 2009). By comparing this circle to those at other universities, we also will explore strategies and conditions that stimulate scholarly writing and benefit stakeholders. …

Assessment has become an important component of any discussion on planning or implementing new library services as well as evaluating existing ones. Yet it is often difficult to know how to proceed with assessment, what tools to use, and how to implement the results of assessment. This session presented a practical example of assessing a new a Science and Technology library service with emphasis placed on how assessment was incorporated into planning process, what tools were used, and what the practical outcomes of that assessment were.

A Tableau Vivant Of Il Classrooms: The Multimodal/Multisensory Experience For The Teaching And Learning Of Threshold Concept.”, Kathleen Langan

The Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) release of the Draft Framework for Information Literacy (IL) for Higher Education well positions those who teach IL to reflect on identifying and defining learning. What is learning? Is it a stagnant, finite event or is it a process? Are there always artifacts that are tangible testaments to the act of learning? If not, then how do we measure it? Does teacher bias hinder learning and our understanding of students and what they know? I present my journey and how I found answers to these questions in the philosophy of rhetoric espoused …

Scanning Our Needs And Options: How Selecting An Overhead Scanner For Ill Was A Team Effort (Poster Session), Elizabeth A. Richardson, Cindy Kristof

With an aging overhead scanner that would no longer be covered under the vendor’s service contract, our ILL department was in the market for a new scanner. Determining our needs and evaluating our potential choices became a team effort involving everybody from undergraduate student employees to the Head of Access Services. Informal conversations were the first step, followed by perusal of sales materials for scanners on the market to determine features available. Every member of the Interlibrary Loan department was invited to complete a survey of preferred and necessary features. The survey prompted a high level of staff engagement in …
