Collections Decoded Presentation, Brick & Click 2017, Aisha Conner-Gaten, Kristyn Caragher, Tracy Drake

Aisha Conner-Gaten

How are collections processed and presented in regards to race and ethnicity? What is not collected and why? Who gets to say what is worth collecting? Operating from three distinct but interlocking perspectives, we will discuss our experiences navigating collection development and collection development policies as a Black woman archivist, a White woman anti-racist public librarian, and a Black woman academic librarian. We will look at the ways in which Black women as collections professionals face invisibility, coded language, and increased mental and emotional labor while operating in a profession that is 85.2% White. We will offer practical strategies for …

The Effect Of A Computing-Focused Linked-Courses Learning Community On Minority And Female Students, Amber Settle, James Doyle, Theresa Steinbach Sep 2017

The Effect Of A Computing-Focused Linked-Courses Learning Community On Minority And Female Students, Amber Settle, James Doyle, Theresa Steinbach

Amber Settle

While enrollments in computing degrees and courses have grown rapidly in the past decade, both female and minority male students remain underrepresented in computing programs. This makes recruitment and retention of these populations a continuing concern. Affinity for a major is connected to student retention, and learning communities have proven effective for this purpose. We present an evaluation of a three-year linked-courses learning community in which we measure pre- to post-quarter changes in student attitudes and resource utilization. We find that participants in the learning community are significantly more likely to report being a part of a group of programmers …

Evaluating Visuals: Teaching Journalism Students Visual Literacy Skills With Infographics, Dana S. Thompson

Dana Statton Thompson

Infographics are one of the many visual elements that are becoming more and more prevalent in the digital arena. In this age of prolific social media postings, how well do college students understand infographics? This study surveyed two Journalism Copy Editing classes at Murray State University, in Murray, Kentucky. In both classes, students were given a pre- and post-questionnaire, which illuminated students’ visual literacy competencies and explored students' understanding about the visual elements and textual content of infographics. In both classes, the students were challenged to create their own infographic after the material had been presented. Only in the second …

Cutting The Red Tape: Direct Engagement With The University And College Campus Student Body For Outreach And Programming Needs, Rachael Muszkiewicz, Jonathan Bull Sep 2017

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

Rachael Muszkiewicz

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 …

Poster - Fostering Stakeholder Engagement By Building Archivist Competencies.Pptx, Anne Daniel, Amanda Jamieson, Amanda Oliver

Anne Daniel

Technological competencies are required for most areas of an archivist’s professional practice. How does an archivist’s level of technological competency affect their engagement with records, researchers, stakeholders and colleagues? What are the core technical knowledge, skills, and abilities that the profession requires in order to engage with our stakeholders in a meaningful way? Archivists must engage with their communities where they are and how they want to receive information, which is increasingly online.

Research As Inquiry, Social Justice, And The Particularist Challenges Of Religious Traditions In An Age Of Terror And Hate Jun 2017

Research As Inquiry, Social Justice, And The Particularist Challenges Of Religious Traditions In An Age Of Terror And Hate

Desirae Zingarelli-Sweet

Although the term “social justice” itself is commonly attributed to a 19th century Catholic theologian, the concept of social justice and imperatives to work toward its realization are integral to virtually all religious and spiritual traditions. Religious traditions have historically shaped institutions and power relationships in profound ways and continue to do so alongside the rise of the “nones” (those with no religious affiliation). Moreover, the complex interplay between religious and other cultural, racial, ethnic, lingual, political, and economic forces render a critical social analysis that leaves out religious factors woefully incomplete. Engaging these traditions, then, is essential for critically …

How Networking On Campus Can Increase Copyright Education, Rebel Cummings-Sauls, Rachel Miles

Rebel Cummings-Sauls

As online academic interactions continue to become more complex in the digital age, interaction with online copyrighted content inevitably increases. As a result, university faculty, researchers, students, and staff have a responsibility to understand how to legally reuse content to avoid copyright infringement incidents. However, campus community members are often unaware of how copyright pertains to their online activities and the potential risks involved in their misuse. Join librarians Rachel Miles and Rebel Cummings-Sauls as they discuss their networking and collaboration efforts on campus to extend copyright education to a wider community at Kansas State University.

Listening And Learning From Students: Interviewing Students About The Intersections Of Research, Writing And Technology, Sarah E. Wagner, Ann Marshall, Kristine M. Frye

Ann Marshall

As professional educators, the experience of a novice writer and researcher is often lost, and librarians and teaching faculty alike struggle to bridge the gap between inexperience and expertise.

Pushing The Institutional Repository To A New Level: Potential Benefits Of Metadata Only Records, Rebel Cummings-Sauls, Ryan Otto May 2017

Pushing The Institutional Repository To A New Level: Potential Benefits Of Metadata Only Records, Rebel Cummings-Sauls, Ryan Otto

Rebel Cummings-Sauls

Librarians at Kansas State University Libraries recognized a need to document and showcase a more complete view of the digital scholarship of an institution’s faculty, staff, and students; giving us the ability to elevate the academic research and creative output being produced by our community. This need has been recognized, but not yet addressed by many universities. The mission of an institutional repository (IR) is to collect, preserve, and make accessible the publications and other scholarly work of departments, programs, faculty, staff, and students. Expanding on our existing IR workflow to include metadata only records we can better meet this …

Addressing Student And Instructor Needs Through Library Support For Open Educational Resources, Josh Bolick, Rebel Cummings-Sauls May 2017

Addressing Student And Instructor Needs Through Library Support For Open Educational Resources, Josh Bolick, Rebel Cummings-Sauls

Rebel Cummings-Sauls

"The cost of textbooks and other learning materials have increased rapidly, causing students across institutional size, profile, and socio-economic status to resort to coping strategies: not purchasing required textbooks, choosing courses based on required materials and text cost, using outdated versions of textbooks, and using financial aid to cover costs of texts, contributing to increased student debt. Kansas State University (KSU) Libraries and University of Kansas (KU) Libraries are responding to this pressure on students through initiatives supporting the use of open educational resources (OER), particularly open textbooks. OER are “teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public …
