Did I Sign My Rights Away? Copyright For Authors, Janelle L. Wertzberger

Janelle Wertzberger

Most authors sign publication contracts without reading them carefully, and consequently transfer all rights to a publisher. Is there another option? (Yes, there is!)

This session will explain copyright for authors in plain English.

If you like, bring a recent publication contract that you signed. …

If You Build It, They Will Use: Creating And Sharing Open Educational Resources To Advance Information Literacy, Philip Russell

Philip Russell

Since 2010, the library at the Institute of Technology Tallaght (ITT Dublin) in South County Dublin, Republic of Ireland, has been developing a suite of interactive online information literacy tutorials covering research, referencing, plagiarism and core academic skills. These open educational resources (OERs) provide users with a vibrant, challenging learning environment and facilitate flexible, 24/7, independent learning. The learning objects are accessible via multiple delivery platforms and are available for reuse under Creative Commons licence via national and international teaching and learning repositories. This paper outlines the development of these OERs and how the creation of these learning tools has …

Pioneers In Your Attic: Uvu's Sutherland Archives' Experience-Updated., Catherine Mcintyre

Catherine McIntyre

Utah Valley University's George Sutherland Archives participated in a state-wide digitization project called Pioneers In Your Attic: Preserving the Legacy of the Overland Migration. Developed by Scott Eldredge of Brigham Young University, several university digitization centers, or hubs, collaborated with regional public libraries, museums, and historical societies to host "scanning events," inviting members of the public to bring unique, historic family photographs and documents, such as diaries, journals, letters, and business papers, to be scanned for free, and added to an openly accessible online digital collection called Pioneers In Your Attic. This presentation focuses on the overall experiences of staff …

Collaborative Chemical Information Literacy: Is It "Scholarly?", Barbara C. Harvey

Barbara C. Harvey

This symposium illustrates a collaborative classroom activity that incorporates information literacy into an introductory chemistry course. The primary learning outcomes of the activity are to understand the peer-review process, knowing how to locate original research articles based on “clues” in a general news article, and how to differentiate between popular and scholarly periodicals. Students work in small groups in a highly-collaborative classroom setting. Each group is given a recent chemistry-related news item, and must determine how and where to find the original research article the news item is based on. Emphasis is placed on identifying original, peer-reviewed research publications. Each …

Cutting The Red Tape: Direct Engagement With The University And College Campus Student Body For Outreach And Programming Needs, Rachael Muszkiewicz, Jonathan Bull

Jonathan Bull

This workshop discusses various ways to directly engage student patrons for outreach and programming purposes, while eliminating post-secondary administration red-tape that could hinder establishment of this programming. The presenters illustrate ways to delegate to certain students creation and promotion of library-related content for consumption by the rest of the campus community. The presenters show that engaging directly with this group of creative students, not only gives this student project experience and confidence, but frees the outreach and programming staff’s time commitment to explore additional ways to connect with the campus’ community. Going to the students directly and not relying on …

Doughboys And Digitization: Navigating The Web For Wwi Primary Sources, Brandon Bowen

Brandon Bowen

A century has passed since the new technology of the Great War blackened Europe's skies and rumbled slowly across once-fertile farmland. World War I marked the beginning of a new technological era; the old and the new came together as no previous conflict before to decimate parts of Europe. Tanks and the telegraph were replacing more traditional tools like carrier pigeons and draft horses, but the War melded both the old and the new together in ways previously unseen. Besides the battlefield technology used for death and destruction, other new tools were also coming into widespread use. Still- and video-cameras …

Fine-Tuning The User Experience: Integration Of Blackboard And Libguides, Gerald R. Natal

Gerald R Natal

At many institutions, students are required to use the Blackboard online course management system. Often, links are provided to library resources through Blackboard. An extension of this service was developed a few years ago that enabled the delivery of course-related content at the point-of-need by utilizing LibGuides. The desired outcome was that students would have an improved research experience, produce better student work, steer students away from simple, uniformed Google searching to quality databases, and improve usage of library resources. This presentation gives background information on the process and details the steps necessary to implement the integration of these two …
