Tell Us What You Want To Do: Utilizing The Institutional Repository To Create An Experiential Learning Opportunity For Scholarly Communication Instruction, Jonathan Bull

In Spring 2013, students in the Literary Editing and Publishing (English 380) class at Valparaiso University (Valpo) were asked to create a proposal for a literary review for which they would be the editorial board. This presentation will discuss the class assignment’s design, which the English faculty member and librarian co-authored, plus the various publishing concerns and problems that the class raised, what changes we might make in the future, as well as ask broader questions about how making the undergraduate student a publisher could drastically reframe scholarly communication instruction.

The Moving Targets Of Teaching And Technology: Virtual Reference As Information Literacy Intermediary, Melanie Mills, Jennifer Robinson
Technology in Education Symposium (TIES)
Libraries have been moving traditional services to the digital environment for some time now; first, with a measure of reluctance and now with enthusiasm (Anderson 2011, 290). But is the act of migrating library services to online platforms, in and of itself, enough? Have we sufficiently addressed the challenges and fully realized the opportunities that technology affords? Using virtual reference as a case study, we will explore the pedagogical role of academic librarians in higher education. In particular, we will attempt to address the following questions: What can virtual reference teach us about our role as teachers? Is it possible …
