The research questions are:
(1) What research competencies are essential for a faculty member?
(2) How has faculty research proficiency been measured in the past?

The Cost Of Research, Zeineb Yousif, Brittany Fischer
The Cost Of Research, Zeineb Yousif, Brittany Fischer
Open Educational Resources
This OER contains the materials to adapt 'The Cost of Research' display created as part of Chester Fritz Library's programming for the 2021 Open Access Week. It demonstrates how much it would cost a reader without access to institutional resources to obtain the research underlying a single short academic article. It also looks at how much it would cost to flip those same resources to open access based off their publishers' current APC charges. This display could best be used as part of educational programming focusing on the economics of scholarly publishing.

Receiver Apprehension & Listener Style Retention, Karlene T. Clark
Receiver Apprehension & Listener Style Retention, Karlene T. Clark
Librarian Posters and Presentations
Receiver apprehension is the anxiety patrons feel when approaching someone for help. There are different types of ways in which people process information, some of which can be a detriment to the person hoping to learn something or just have a question answered. This presentation looks at the different styles of listeners and how librarians can utilize this knowledge to better meet the needs of patrons coming to the reference desk for assistance.

Development Of A Peer Research Consultant (Prc) Program, Kristen Borysewicz, Karlene T. Clark, Holly Gabriel
Librarian Posters and Presentations
The reference desk at UND’s main library has seen a steady decline in the number of reference questions. Starting in Fall 2019, we will use peer research consultants (PRCs) to staff the reference desk and go out to campus to promote their service. Reference librarians will be able to do more library instruction and outreach for their departments, and undergraduate students will see their peer as a helpful resource for academic success. The PRCs will also assist with instruction sessions.

Development Of The Chester Fritz Library (Cfl) Peer Research Consultants Program, Karlene T. Clark, Holly Gabriel
Librarian Posters and Presentations
There has been a steady decline in the number of reference questions asked at central reference desks at academic libraries across the United States. The reference desk at the University of North Dakota’s main library has also seen a steady decline in reference questions. In an effort to make better use of professional librarians’ time and energy, library staff are starting a pilot program in Fall 2019 to use undergraduate peer research consultants (PRC’s) to staff the reference desk, thereby freeing up the reference librarians to do more library instruction and outreach. The PRC’s will be undergraduate students trained in …

Physical items can be displayed within the box while users use the touch screen to virtually flip through books, interact with 3D models, and browse images and videos. Since purchasing the MagicBox we’ve created one exhibit and accompanying reception and are currently creating our second exhibit (to be released in January 2019). In the process we’ve worked with our university art department, School of Aerospace Studies, and local heritage foundation to highlight materials with significance for broad swathes of …

Rsd7: Researcher Skill Development Framework (Us English Edition), John Willison, Kerry O'Regan, Sara K. Kuhn
Open Educational Resources
Created by John Willison and Kerry O'Regan.
Adapted for the US context by Sara K. Kuhn.
"The seven-level Researcher Skill Development framework extends the RSD's original 5 levels of student autonomy to include the degree of autonomy required for a successful research career. It therefore addresses not only students, but also early, middle and late career researchers. This involves the extension of the same facets of inquiry that appear in the original RSD framework to include two higher levels: 6 and 7." -- https://www.adelaide.edu.au/rsd/framework/rsd7/

Open Educational Resources
Created by John Willison and Kerry O'Regan.
Adapted for the US context by Sara K. Kuhn.
"Research Skill Development (RSD) is about making explicit and coherent in regular university coursework the incremental attainment of research skills in a specific discipline. In the RSD, there are six facets of the research process, identified from the literature and modified according to Bloom’s taxonomy and our experiences of using the framework in the disciplines. The meaning of ‘research’ in this context is: students actively finding information new to themselves. Underlying this notion is the ‘degree of knowness’ of knowledge: whether research involves …

Librarian Posters and Presentations
As more academic libraries make the transition to Open Access and Open Educational Resources programming, our role as development and advancement professionals will embrace new opportunities to diversify our prospect pools and update the narrative for supporting the library.

Culture Shift: Facilitating Institutional Culture Change To Boost The Adoption, Use, And Sharing Of Oers, Stephanie Walker
Culture Shift: Facilitating Institutional Culture Change To Boost The Adoption, Use, And Sharing Of Oers, Stephanie Walker
Librarian Posters and Presentations
In 2015, the University of North Dakota (UND) had no institutional program to promote adoption, creation, or utilization of Open Educational Resources (OERs). That September, UND’s new Dean of Library & Information Resources was given a mandate to advocate for OERs. Initial campus climate was resistant; a respected senior faculty member gave a speech in opposition to OERs at the University Senate, claiming OERs infringed on academic freedom. In 2 years, we’ve achieved a major cultural shift. UND has become a state leader in OERs. We are on our 4th round of funding for faculty stipends, workshops, and support for …
