Library Scavenger Hunts: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, Elizabeth G. Rugan, Muriel D. Nero

The Southeastern Librarian

In the past, the library scavenger hunt was thought of as a well-respected and effective method of library or information literacy instruction; however, the scavenger hunt’s glory days are over. Indeed, many academic librarians decry these hunts, often assigned by general education teaching faculty, as a waste of time or worse as a “turn off” for students from the library (Kearns 2006, Miller 2009). These despised scavenger hunts require students to wander around the library recording colors of books, asking inane questions to library staff, and using outdated or often unavailable resources. But are librarians ready to cast off the …

Freedom's Reading: The Discovery Of Two Alabama Freedom Libraries, Mike Selby

The Southeastern Librarian

Freedom Libraries were originally a product of ‘Freedom Summer’—the voting registration campaign launched by various civil rights organizations in Mississippi during the summer of 1964.

This changed in 2008, when Karen Cook’s dissertation provided a comprehensive and exhaustive look at Mississippi Freedom Libraries. She positively identified over 80 different ones. While reading Cook’s work, I began to wonder if something similar had occurred in Alabama. After all, Alabama was ground zero during the Civil …

The Digital Natives Are Restless: Engaging High Conflict Parents Through Technology, Sherrill Hayes

Faculty and Research Publications

When I started working as a parenting coordinator (PC) in 2006, I envisioned a practice filled with uncomfortable and heated conversations around a table. But while there have been plenty of heated conversations, they have taken a different form than I expected. I have spent a lot of time, and had some of my most challenging experiences, not in meetings or other face-to-face encounters but rather in listening to lengthy unfocused voicemails, reading and editing inflammatory emails, and teaching the fundamentals of netiquette to parents who had forgotten their e-manners.

I have found that many parents have little or no …

Thinking Out Of The Box: Receiving A Grant To Fund Our Discovery Tool, Li Chen, Yongli Ma, Hyun Kim

The recent economic downturn has affected businesses and educational organizations. Funding for higher education institutions from federal, state and private sectors is shrinking and even disappearing.
