University Libraries Faculty Publications
Background
The objective of this research is to assess student learning in a library one-shot for Nursing students who are beginning to navigate the scholarly research system and to identify and procure primary and secondary research studies to support a clinical change.
Methods
NURS 380 is the research and evidence-based practice course for second-year nursing students taken in concert with clinical experiences. Three sections of this course (36 students each) were given the same lecture, hands-on practice, and facilitated research time with the same librarian during a three-hour session of the course. At the end of each session, the librarian …
Education Needs In Research Data Management For Science-Based Disciplines: Self-Assessment Surveys Of Graduate And Faculty At Two Public Universities, Judith E. Pasek, Jennifer Mayer
Education Needs In Research Data Management For Science-Based Disciplines: Self-Assessment Surveys Of Graduate And Faculty At Two Public Universities, Judith E. Pasek, Jennifer Mayer
University Libraries Faculty Publications
Research data management is a prominent and evolving consideration for the academic community, especially in scientific disciplines. This research study surveyed 131 graduate students and 79 faculty members in the sciences at two public doctoral universities to determine the importance, knowledge, and interest levels around research data management training and education. The authors adapted 12 competencies for measurement in the study. Graduate students and faculty ranked the following areas most important among the 12 competencies: ethics and attribution, data visualization, and quality assurance. Graduate students indicated they were least knowledgeable and skilled in data curation and re-use, metadata and data …
Collaborating On Flipped Library Sessions: 8 Best Practices For Faculty & Librarians, Nicole R. Webber, Stephanie Wiegand
Collaborating On Flipped Library Sessions: 8 Best Practices For Faculty & Librarians, Nicole R. Webber, Stephanie Wiegand
University Libraries Faculty Publications
Library instruction varies in format but often manifests in the librarian teaching a single, isolated class session—what librarians refer to as a “one-shot.” Many challenges accompany this traditional format, including time-constraints, disengaged audiences, and little understanding on the part of the student as to how the library instruction integrates with course content. Flipped Learning methods can help counter these challenges even when the overall course is not based on a flipped model. They liberate librarians and faculty from the one-shot model and expand opportunities for library instruction to occur at multiple times in a course, to be delivered virtually or …
Not Stuck In A Drawer: Successfully Implementing A Strategic Plan, Jennifer Nutefall, Nicole Branch
Not Stuck In A Drawer: Successfully Implementing A Strategic Plan, Jennifer Nutefall, Nicole Branch
University Libraries Faculty Publications
Discover strategies to successfully manage the implementation of your library’s strategic plan. This session will focus on five activities to successfully implement a strategic plan. These activities make the plan a living document with real connection to the day-to-day work of the entire library. The activities include breaking goals into concrete actions, creating a tracking spreadsheet, assigning leads from library management to each strategic plan objective, conducting quarterly strategic plan update meetings with the library management group, and providing regular communication with the library managers and the entire library staff.
Black & White Response In A Gray Area: Faculty And Predatory Publishing, Nicole R. Webber, Stephanie Wiegand
Black & White Response In A Gray Area: Faculty And Predatory Publishing, Nicole R. Webber, Stephanie Wiegand
University Libraries Faculty Publications
This study focuses on faculty knowledge, experiences, and attitudes regarding fraudulent journal operations. Many definitions presented to researchers contain two primary aspects to describe these intentional perpetrators: 1) the chief motivation to profit monetarily, and 2) the misleading promise of and failure to deliver on indicators of quality, such as peer review. While this definition is simple on its surface, when put into practice it often expands into discussions of poor or unethical practices by journal publishers. It is common to find lists of grievances clarifying acts that signal predatory or unethical practices, which are used to broadly classify journals …

First-Generation Students’ Information Literacy In Everyday Contexts, Darren Ilett
First-Generation Students’ Information Literacy In Everyday Contexts, Darren Ilett
University Libraries Faculty Publications
Historically, much of the Library and Information Science (LIS) literature on first-generation students (FGS) framed them using deficit thinking, emphasising what they lacked to be successful in higher education. In contrast, recent scholarship has turned to asset-based pedagogies, shifting the focus onto the strengths that FGS bring to college. Further, LIS research on FGS has examined how students engage with information solely in academic contexts, such as completing research papers or navigating higher education procedures. The current study contributes to the discussion of asset-based pedagogies by using a funds of knowledge approach to explore the ways in which FGS at …

Different Scopes For Different Folks: Contrasting Outreach Approaches To Graduate Programs And Students, Jennifer Mayer, Geoff Johnson, Rachel Stott
Different Scopes For Different Folks: Contrasting Outreach Approaches To Graduate Programs And Students, Jennifer Mayer, Geoff Johnson, Rachel Stott
University Libraries Faculty Publications
Academic libraries are increasingly adding positions that focus on graduate programs and students. What does graduate student outreach look like, and how does it differ from established outreach efforts to undergraduate students? This panel will explore examples from multiple libraries that consider both discipline-specific liaison services and college-wide outreach that requires a more generalist approach. In addition to examples of different outreach efforts, panelists and attendees will discuss successes, challenges, and ways to adapt graduate outreach opportunities at their own institutions.

Exploring Data Management: Identifying Signposts For Graduate Student Researchers, Judith E. Pasek, Jennifer Mayer
University Libraries Faculty Publications
As graduate students embark on research projects, they often are not fully aware of what paths they should take or the obstacles they may encounter. Effectively managing research data is a skillset that needs to be honed along the way. Trail guides, including librarians, can establish instructional signposts for relevant data management concepts. To be effective, guides need to be familiar with the knowledge and skill gaps of the explorers. Surveys were conducted at two medium-sized universities to assess perceived importance and knowledge of 12 research data management competencies, with a goal of informing education planning. Results set the foundation …
Debating Student Privacy In Library Research Projects Paper, Jennifer Mayer, Rachel Dineen
Debating Student Privacy In Library Research Projects Paper, Jennifer Mayer, Rachel Dineen
University Libraries Faculty Publications
As pressure increases for librarians and administrators to demonstrate the value of academic libraries, there is a parallel concern regarding student data privacy in terms of learning analytics and other data tracking methods used by universities. The intersection where demonstrating the value of academic libraries meets student privacy is a crucial, controversial, and timely debate for our profession. This contributed paper provides an overview of the debate about student privacy and library research projects, a discussion of the evolution of our study, the next steps we will take as a result of our work, and recommendations for others who aspire …
A Critical Review Of Lis Literature On First-Generation Students, Darren Ilett
A Critical Review Of Lis Literature On First-Generation Students, Darren Ilett
University Libraries Faculty Publications
This review offers a critical analysis of the library and information science (LIS) literature on first-generation students (FGS) from the last 40 years. This literature demonstrates an interest in understanding the needs of FGS to serve them better, but it is often grounded in a deficit model of education that focuses on what first-generation students lack instead of what they have. This review identifies four predominant themes in the literature: FGS as outsiders, as a problem, as reluctant library users, and as capable students. Then it suggests possible avenues of future research, such as using a “funds of knowledge” approach …
