How many times have you participated in this scenario?

     Student: I can’t find this article in the databases (she shows you a citation).
     You: Oh, this citation is for a book. Let’s check the catalog.

Helping students understand citations seems to be an on-going activity, but learning about citations can be boring and requires attention to detail. In order to address this problem, we created a fun tutorial using drag-and-drop technology that can be used in an online environment or in the classroom. The tutorial helps students identify the elements of a citation, place them in the correct order, and …


Leveraging Articulate Storyline And An Lms To Go Beyond The One Shot Il Session, Eric A. Kowalik, Elizabeth Andrejasich Gibes, Valerie Beech Apr 2016

Leveraging Articulate Storyline And An Lms To Go Beyond The One Shot Il Session, Eric A. Kowalik, Elizabeth Andrejasich Gibes, Valerie Beech

Elizabeth Andrejasich Gibes

Covering necessary information literacy topics in a one shot session can be difficult. To address this challenge, the Marquette Raynor Memorial Libraries moved to a new instruction model for the First Year English program. The new model involved embedded librarianship and interactive Articulate Storyline tutorials pre-loaded into the Learning Management System (LMS). These new initiatives provided flexibility in teaching information literacy concepts and fostered stronger relationships between librarians and their instructors. Learn about the development, implementation and evaluation of this new program. (Transcripts of the presentation can be found in the Notes field of the PowerPoint slides).

Information Literacy Threshold Concepts And The Acrl Framework For Information Literacy For Higher Education, Gayle Schaub, Hazel Mcclure Mar 2016

Information Literacy Threshold Concepts And The Acrl Framework For Information Literacy For Higher Education, Gayle Schaub, Hazel Mcclure

Gayle Schaub

In this session, McClure and Schaub, editors of Teaching Information Literacy Threshold Concepts: Lesson Plans for Librarians will discuss the idea of threshold concepts and how conceptual teaching has been transformative in their work as information literacy instructors and library liaisons.  The editors began their research in threshold concepts as a way to focus on the core, elemental ideas rather than procedural skills in library instruction.  At the same time, the use and discussion of information literacy threshold concepts increased in the United States as a variety of thinkers and organizations published research and incorporated threshold concepts into high profile …

Student narratives showed how novices encounter the clusters of concepts described in the Framework as “Scholarship as Conversation,” “Searching as Strategic Exploration,” and “Research as Inquiry.” Assessing students’ metacognition—that is, their thinking about the learning process—revealed that they connected personal identity with academic conversations, developed strategies for exploring subject classification, and balanced persistence with help-seeking. The open-ended exercise was effective as a collaborative approach to academic engagement and information …
