Flexible Marketing And Outreach: An Institutional Repository Case Study, Gesina A. Phillips, Christie Kliewer
Flexible Marketing And Outreach: An Institutional Repository Case Study, Gesina A. Phillips, Christie Kliewer
Library Faculty Scholarship
Librarians at Duquesne University did a soft rollout of their institutional repository in 2016, with a full rollout planned for 2017. Elsevier's acquisition of Digital Commons prompted a reevaluation of the marketing plan. The Outreach & Communications Librarian, Digital Scholarship Librarian, and Systems Librarian approached this problem collaboratively to craft (and rebrand) a marketing message.
Actively Engaging With Patrons On Social Media, Kelley Cotter, Sara Baron
Actively Engaging With Patrons On Social Media, Kelley Cotter, Sara Baron
Library Faculty Scholarship
Using social media for outreach entails more than just creating engaging content— it also means actively engaging with patrons. In our experience, using social media well involves a heavy emphasis on two-way communication with patrons. We have built a social media presence that, above all, seeks to build relationships with our patrons. It provides a venue for building relationships with both those who already closely associate with the library and those who do not. Establishing and strengthening ties to the library makes patrons more likely to share their positive perceptions of us with friends, family, colleagues, and coworkers. Because word-ofmouth …
Information & Anxiety: The Impossibility Of 'Literacy' And The Necessity Of Agency, Christie Kliewer, Gesina A. Phillips, Megan Massanelli
Information & Anxiety: The Impossibility Of 'Literacy' And The Necessity Of Agency, Christie Kliewer, Gesina A. Phillips, Megan Massanelli
Library Faculty Scholarship
Our lives are continuously affected by the information that we encounter in ever-increasing volume. The growing awareness of the dangers of uncritical information consumption (e.g. “fake news”) heightens the relevancy of questions investigating the nature of truth and fact. This anxiety manifests on a more personal level in terms of our vulnerable digital selves—identities can be stolen, personal archives can be lost. Anxiety is deeply personal but can affect public lives, professional lives, teaching, and scholarship as it leads to a loss of nuance and an unwillingness to participate in information creation and exchange. Our personal lives suffer, and so …
Is Your Tutorial Pretty Or Pretty Useless? Creating Effective Tutorials With The Principles Of Multimedia Learning, Marcia Rapchak
Is Your Tutorial Pretty Or Pretty Useless? Creating Effective Tutorials With The Principles Of Multimedia Learning, Marcia Rapchak
Library Faculty Scholarship
With the proliferation of free and easy-to-use tools to make online tutorials, many libraries have been creating online tutorials for their users. These cover everything from showing users how to navigate the databases to covering issues like copyright and evaluation. While the tutorials range from entertaining to rather dry, many of them, regardless of their entertainment value, do not employ the methods that can lead to deeper learning. Mayer (2014) has explored the concepts and research around online tutorials in
Creating A Community Of Inquiry In Online Library Instruction, Marcia Rapchak
Creating A Community Of Inquiry In Online Library Instruction, Marcia Rapchak
Library Faculty Scholarship
According to the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model (Garrison, Anderson, and Archer, 2000), an enriching educational experience online in a collaborative learning environment requires three interdependent elements: social presence, teaching presence, and cognitive presence. Social presence provides interaction in the online environment that allows students to feel like they are in a supportive and open environment. Teaching presence refers not just to teacher-student interaction during the lesson or course duration, but also to a teacher’s ability to design an effective learning environment. Cognitive presence in the CoI model is knowledge generated from collaborative interaction. This model has been wellstudied in …
Navigating Copyright In Electronic Theses And Dissertations, Gesina A. Phillips
Navigating Copyright In Electronic Theses And Dissertations, Gesina A. Phillips
Library Faculty Scholarship
Graduate students preparing electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) encounter a broad range of questions related to copyright—both in terms of their use of copyrighted materials and their own status as copyrightholders. This project seeks to ascertain the extent to which these specific needs are addressed in published library literature, and to make recommendations to fill the gaps.

Library Faculty Scholarship
Predatory publishers recruit faculty and graduate students to publish in their seemingly high quality journals that frequently lack peer review, charge fees, and have poor reputations. Tenure-track nursing faculty with publishing expectations may be especially vulnerable to the inviting emails received from predatory publishers. Nurse educators should collaborate with their health sciences librarians to identify and implement strategies to combat predatory publishers in nursing education and research.
Information Literacy And Adult Learners: Using Authentic Assessment To Determine Skill Gaps, Marcia E. Rapchak, Leslie A. Lewis, Julie K. Motyka, Margaret Balmert
Information Literacy And Adult Learners: Using Authentic Assessment To Determine Skill Gaps, Marcia E. Rapchak, Leslie A. Lewis, Julie K. Motyka, Margaret Balmert
Library Faculty Scholarship
Information literacy (IL) skills are essential for adult learners in higher education, especially those unfamiliar with information systems. Citing a lack of literature assessing such skills in adult learners, this article examines the IL abilities of adult learners in an information literacy course. Using a rubric and annotated bibliographies from study participants, the authors rank the IL abilities of adult students. Similar to studies assessing IL skills in traditional undergraduates, the authors found adult students struggled to articulate their evaluations of sources. The authors make recommendations for improving IL instruction for adults and suggest future research.

Digital Immigrants, Digital Learning: Reaching Adults Through Information Literacy Instruction Online, Marcia Rapchak, Robert Behary
Library Faculty Scholarship
As information literacy programs become more robust, finding methods of reaching students beyond the traditional undergraduate has become a priority for many institutions. At [institution name], efforts have been made to reach adult learners in an accelerated program targeted to nontraditional students, much of which is provided online. This article will detail how theories of adult learning have helped the authors to create a multimodal approach to information literacy instruction online for adult learners in both undergraduate and graduate programs.
