A Convoluted Web: Reusing Metadata To Highlight Faculty Scholarship,, Ashley D. Lowery

Library Faculty Presentations

What would happen if the same metadata creates multiple structures that focuses on highlighting faculty scholarship? At Georgia Southern University, the library staff reuses the same metadata to produce virtual bibliographies and bookshelves, faculty profiles, altmetrics, and an expertise search. Peer-reviewed publications initially are entered into departmental bibliographies and bookshelves in our institutional repository, Digital Commons@Georgia Southern. Only publications that faculty have published while at Georgia Southern are included. These citations are collected into university-wide bibliographies and bookshelves and SelectedWorks faculty profiles. The SelectedWorks faculty profiles also include peer-reviewed publications that faculty produced outside of Georgia Southern as well as …

Letting The Data Lead The Way: Georgia Southern's Journey With Alternative Metrics, Ashley D. Lowery

Library Faculty Presentations

The landscape around alternative metrics has been evolving rapidly. Going from a twitter hashtag in 2011 to a key component in research evaluation at many institutions, metrics that move beyond citation counts and journal impact factor are here to stay. Metrics can now be harvested and applied to research around usage, captures, mentions, and social media, in addition to citations, giving a much more comprehensive and holistic view of impact. These new metrics are also much more timely than citation metrics and can keep pace with new formats much faster than the entrenched, legacy practices. However, as institutions begin to …

Making A First-Year Experience Course Ipad Intensive: A Cautionary Tale, Ruth L. Baker

Library Faculty Presentations

This presentation tells the story of an experiment to make a First-Year Experience (FYE) course more engaging and enjoyable through the integration of iPads into the curriculum and the infusion of information-literacy throughout the course. Students analyzed 4 films from classic horror cinema and created cultural-historical documentaries about them. Students worked in groups of 4 or 5 on iPads using the Adobe Voice app and learned how to locate and evaluate sources, incorporate sources into their projects, and cite them properly. An exemplary documentary will be screened for the audience.

A Fruitful Collaboration: Offering More Than Faculty Profiles, Ashley D. Lowery, Debra G. Skinner

Library Faculty Presentations

The institutional repository Digital Commons@Georgia Southern launched in Fall 2013. Faculty immediately began to utilize the services including journals/conferences sites and SelectedWorks faculty profiles. The repository also sparked an unexpected success: collaboration between the Zach S. Henderson Library and the Office of Research. The Office of Research created an Expertise Search and purchased Plum Analytics, two services that integrate with SelectedWorks profiles. The Expertise Search is a tool for users to find faculty members by expertise keywords. Plum Analytics provides faculty with traditional metrics (citations) as well as altmetrics (usage, captures, mentions, and social media). Through these tools, the Henderson …

Ebsco's Plumx And Our Institutional Repository (Ir): Integration And Impact At Georgia Southern University, Ashley D. Lowery

Library Faculty Presentations

In the summer of 2014, Georgia Southern University’s Office of Research & Economic Development acquired PlumX. At this time, the Zach S. Henderson Library staff had already created numerous SelectedWorks faculty profiles in their institutional repository, Digital Commons@Georgia Southern. In order to avoid duplicating work, the Office of Research & Economic Development tasked the presenter with integrating SelectedWorks and PlumX. In this fast learning presentation, GSU’s Ashley Lowery will talk about how the two systems integrate as well as the pros and cons of this integration. She will also discuss the outcomes of marketing PlumX alongside the IR.

Researching My Role For Myself: Reacting To The Past And Information Literacy, Caroline Hopkinson, Allison Scardino Belzer

Library Faculty Presentations

In Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College (Harvard UP, 2014) Mark Carnes argues that curricula such as “Reacting to the Past” engages students in subversive play in order to succeed in instilling concepts that have proved difficult to teach by other methods: critical thinking, empathy, leadership, a realistic view of history, and ultimately a better understanding of themselves. Such experiences, we have found, also foster inquiry and strategic thinking, core concepts of ACRL’s framework for information literacy.

Participants will experience an abbreviated “game day” session from the Reacting to the Past curriculum, to illustrate how the role playing …

The Past, Present, & Future Of Capturing The Scholarly Record Of A Small Comprehensive U.S. Institution: Toward A Sustained Repository Content Recruitment And Workflow Strategy, Jonathan Bull, Teresa Auch Schultz

Library Faculty Presentations

For smaller institutions, limited staffing, expertise, and content recruitment all threaten an IR’s success. Launched in 2011, ValpoScholar (scholar.valpo.edu) is on its second version of content recruitment and workflow design with a third version in beta. With a primary focus on capturing metadata before moving to full-text access and preservation, this evolving approach has led to a 25 percent increase in record creation, while also increasing full-text availability. This poster will share this changing process.

Hip To Be Prepared: Tips For Managing Multiple Conferences In Your Repository, Ashley D. Lowery

In order to sustain and increase the conferences in the repository, the Digital Collections Specialist streamlined processes and discovered the best ways to collaborate with their repository’s clients. In this presentation, find out tips on meeting and training clients, separating the libraries’ from the clients’ responsibilities, creating support materials, etc. Throughout the presentation, examples …

Contributions To The Scholarly Record: Conferences & Symposia In The Repository, Jonathan Bull, Stephanie Davis-Kahl

Library Faculty Presentations

Many academic libraries have found opportunities to showcase unique content through conference-hosting services, such as website-hosting and conference proceeding publishing. This poster describes two libraries’ successful efforts to archive conference materials from an undergraduate research conference and a professional conference for scholars.

Through the lens of these two case studies, the repository coordinators will discuss engaging with presenters on topics of author rights, ethical use of others’ work in their presentations, creating a sustainable infrastructure for continued growth of the conference, and collaborating with faculty.

Libraries & Student Success, Melissa Bowles-Terry

Library Faculty Presentations

What makes a difference in student success? The framing questions for this presentation are:

1. What makes students stay in college and finish a degree? What prevents them from finishing?

2. What can librarians and faculty do to increase students' chances of succeeding at learning and at earning a degree?

This presentation will address high impact practices identified by George Kuh and adopted by the AAC&U, and give some examples of how libraries can support those high impact practices. It will also address student engagement, as measured by tools like the National Survey of Student Engagement or NSSE, and how libraries can …
