Engaging Students In Information Literacy: Lessons From Our Library Ambassador Program, Lydia C. Gwyn, Jonathan Wilson
Engaging Students In Information Literacy: Lessons From Our Library Ambassador Program, Lydia C. Gwyn, Jonathan Wilson
ETSU Faculty Works
The Library Ambassador Program hires approximately 25 undergraduate students each fall and provides them with two semesters of information literacy and research skills instruction before deploying them across campus to help students with their research. As part of their training, instructors use various game-playing and active learning strategies in the classroom including: a card game designed to teach players about databases and how they function, group problem-solving exercises, a card game intended to teach players how to evaluate sources of information, and a roleplaying activity meant to prepare ambassadors for experiences in helping students. In this session, participants will learn …

Evaluating Zotero, Sherpa/Romeo, And Unpaywall In An Institutional Repository Workflow, Ashley D.R. Sergiadis
Evaluating Zotero, Sherpa/Romeo, And Unpaywall In An Institutional Repository Workflow, Ashley D.R. Sergiadis
ETSU Faculty Works
East Tennessee State University developed a workflow to add journal publications to their institutional repository and faculty profiles using three tools: Zotero for entering metadata, SHERPA/RoMEO for checking copyright permissions, and Unpaywall for locating full-text documents. This study evaluates availability and accuracy of the information and documents provided by Zotero, SHERPA/RoMEO, and Unpaywall for journal publications in four disciplines. The tools were less successful with works authored by arts and humanities and education faculty in comparison to works authored by medicine and health sciences and social and behavioral sciences faculty. The findings suggest that publisher practices contributed to the disciplinary …

Games And Roleplaying In The Classroom, Lydia C. Gwyn, Jonathon Wilson
ETSU Faculty Works
The Library Ambassador Program hires approximately 20 undergraduate students each fall and provides them with two semesters of information literacy and research skills instruction before deploying them across campus to help students with their research. As part of their training, instructors use various game-play strategies in the classroom including: a card game designed to teach players about databases and how they function, a card game intended to teach players how to evaluate sources of information, and a roleplaying activity meant to prepare ambassadors for experiences in helping students. Many emotions are involved in the action of gameplay such as competitiveness, …

Developing A Peer-Mentoring Program To Expand Information Literacy Across Campus, Lydia C. Gwyn, Jonathan Wilson
ETSU Faculty Works
In an effort to expand information literacy throughout our institution and to reach students who may not make it to the library for research help, our library faculty have developed a peermentoring program. The Library Ambassador Program entails hiring undergraduate students, providing them with two semesters of information literacy instruction and deploying them across campus to help students with their research.
Building A Better Book Widget: Using Alma Analytics To Automate New Book Discovery, Travis Clamon
Building A Better Book Widget: Using Alma Analytics To Automate New Book Discovery, Travis Clamon
ETSU Faculty Works
Are we doing enough to market newly acquired book titles? Libraries purchase and subscribe to many new book titles each year, both print and electronic. However, we rely on the expectation that users will periodically search our systems to discover newly acquired titles. Static lists and displays have been traditional marketing methods for libraries, but require tedious time and effort to maintain. Without a practical solution for an academic library, East Tennessee State University developed an automated process to generate book widgets utilizing data from Alma Analytics. These widgets are now deployed in our subject guides, website, and on our …

Marketing Book Collections: Creating Digital Displays Using Alma Analytics, Travis Clamon
ETSU Faculty Works
Libraries purchase and subscribe to many new book titles each year. Instead of waiting for patrons to find these new titles in Primo, East Tennessee State University decided to develop automated book sliders using data from Alma Analytics. These sliders are now deployed in our subject guides, website, and on our digital displays. This presentation will give participants a high-level overview of our workflow and the tools we used. I'll first go over Alma Analytics, defining collection scopes and required fields. Next, I'll cover our process of retrieving the data via API and formatting the data into a JSON array. …

Making The Transition: Developing A Peer-Mentoring Program Targeting Transfer Students, Lydia C. Gwyn, Jonathan Wilson
ETSU Faculty Works
In 2017, the ETSU Library developed a peer-mentoring program targeting transfer students from local community colleges. The intent was to ease the transition from community college to our four-year university, to help students establish an ETSU identity before arriving on campus, and to offer undergraduates research help from trained peers.
Inclination For Duplication: Faculty Works In Institutional Repositories, Ashley D.R. Sergiadis
Inclination For Duplication: Faculty Works In Institutional Repositories, Ashley D.R. Sergiadis
ETSU Faculty Works
Faculty works (e.g. journal articles, conference proceedings) in institutional repositories (IRs) differ from other collections due to their inclination for duplication on other platforms: publisher websites, preprint servers, other IRs, etc. This characteristic can create interesting and different approaches to planning, populating, and promoting faculty works collections. Come to this roundtable discussion to talk about current and future practices related to faculty works in IRs. Share your current policies, procedures, and outreach methods. Brainstorm the ideal future for faculty works collections. And ultimately, consider possible changes to your current practices to make that future into a reality.

Where Are They Now: A Study To Identify Departments Managing Institutional Repositories, Ashley D.R. Sergiadis
ETSU Faculty Works
Academic libraries are at various stages of implementing institutional repositories (IRs) and related services at their institutions. In relation, the management of IRs are not uniformly managed by the same department in each library. This poster displays the results of a study that examined academic library websites to determine which departments mentioned IRs as part of their services and/or IR employees as part of their staff. Come and discover where IRs are being managed in academic libraries and how the results differ based on Carnegie Classifications of Institutions of Higher Education.

All too frequently, instruction librarians’ only opportunity to teach students distills down to the fifty-minute, one-shot, make-or-break experience. We disseminate the essential information as requested—how to use the library, how to search the databases, and so on—with little time to explain why all the pieces fit together and why they are important. Worse, well-intentioned librarians often strive to cover as much as possible in these sessions, oversaturating and frustrating their student audience.
Even in settings of brief duration with no follow-up, another approach is possible. Rather than attempting to demonstrate everything at once, we can interject effective, real-life motivational tactics …
