Textbook Costs And Open Educational Resources In Core A, Jonathan Hunt
USF OER Faculty Grant
Adoption of no-cost text options by the Department of Rhetoric and Language for Core A courses could save University of San Francisco students up to $250,000 per year. The cost of new, bookstore-purchased textbooks for a USF student taking the most common or “normative” path through Core A (RHET 103, RHET 110/N, RHET 120) averages $316.14. Textbooks costs vary widely and are highly unpredictable: the most expensive sections can have more than 300% higher costs for books than the least expensive.

Throw Out Your Books: Designing Libraries For Their New Roles, Shawn P. Calhoun, Karen A. Cribbins-Kulkin, Joey Favaloro
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Designing libraries based on student experience rather than book storage provides the potential to cater to a wider variety of students and learning styles, transforming libraries from an afterthought for prospective students to an asset for recruitment. This session will use recent library projects to study the effect of major program shifts on student behavior and discourse. We will look at both larger capital improvement projects and “small wins” that can be readily executed.
Learning Outcomes
- Pilot small library design projects on campus to see how students react and engage.
- Create a dialogue with library administrators and admissions/recruitment professionals to …

Redefining Career Communities In Higher Education, June Y. Lee, Sheetal Patel
Redefining Career Communities In Higher Education, June Y. Lee, Sheetal Patel
Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Strategy
This study aims to revisit the understudied concept of career communities. Using mixed methods, this study assesses how university students define and characterize career communities compared to general communities. Based on our interviews (N=25) and survey (N=123), we formally define a career community more narrowly as a group of individuals who share similar career interests or aspirations where one can receive direct or indirect customized benefits through the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and resources. Theoretical and practical implications with future research opportunities have been recommended.
