Library On Demand: Now Delivering Fresh Services To Your Online Course!, Debbie Feisst, Kim Frail, Lindsay Johnston, Angie Mandville
Library Instruction West 2014
Working in conjunction with other key campus stakeholders, the University of Alberta Libraries has developed a customizable Library Resources widget that makes it easier for students to access valuable library resources at their place and point of need within their online course management system (CMS). This seamless integration of library resources and services into online courses represents a time-saving enhancement for faculty and students as well as a springboard to information literacy learning within the virtual classroom environment. We will outline the project history and describe how this initiative grew from a department-based project into a campus-wide model with an …
Playing Well With Others: Research Studios At The Cornish College Of The Arts, Bridget Nowlin, Megan Smithling, Heather Jean Uhl
Playing Well With Others: Research Studios At The Cornish College Of The Arts, Bridget Nowlin, Megan Smithling, Heather Jean Uhl
Library Instruction West 2014
Cornish College of the Arts offers a distinctive blend of visual and performing arts grounded in a core curriculum of humanities and sciences. Cornish offers a Bachelor of Music degree and Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in art, dance, design, music, performance production and theater.
With a focus on the visual and performing arts, and a faculty/student population of visual/aural/kinesthetic learners, our patrons’ interests are often "making and doing," rather than engaging in conventional academic research. Consequently, our librarians collaborate with faculty to align students’ own practices in the studio/performance space with more traditional academic research processes.

Can't Stop Won't Stop: Seeding Library Instruction With Hip-Hop, Dave Ellenwood, Beth Sanderson
Library Instruction West 2014
Have you ever wanted to infuse your teaching with one of your passions that is not commonly associated with information literacy? More specifically, have you ever been curious about including hip-hop themes, metaphors, or other hip-hop-related content in your IL instruction? In this panel discussion grounded in critical pedagogy, social justice discourse, and the politics of including hip-hop in the college classroom, attendees will hear the strategies and experiences of four instruction librarians with varied hip-hop familiarity, from novice to fan to emcee. Panelists will describe teaching research concepts through hip-hop metaphors, teaching library databases through interpreting/annotating rap lyrics, and …
Using Open Access Resources In Data Literacy Instruction: Renewing The Il Curriculum By Aligning It With Changing Needs, Don Macmillen
Using Open Access Resources In Data Literacy Instruction: Renewing The Il Curriculum By Aligning It With Changing Needs, Don Macmillen
Library Instruction West 2014
To align information literacy instruction with changing faculty and student needs, librarians need to expand their conceptions and competencies beyond traditional information sources. In the sciences, this increasingly means integrating the data resources used by researchers into instruction for undergraduate students. Open access repositories allow students to work with more primary data than ever before, but only if they know how and where to look. This presentation will describe the development of classes designed to scaffold student learning in biology across two courses, detailing the long-term collaboration between a librarian and an instructor that now serves over 500 students per …

Opening Our Information Literacy Classrooms To Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, Dave Ellenwood, Althea Lazzaro, Sharde Mills, Megan Watson
Library Instruction West 2014
As our college campuses grow increasingly racially and ethnically diverse, it is essential to the sustainability of our library instruction programs that we understand teaching and learning in a cultural context. Librarians at the University of Washington Bothell and Cascadia Community College strive to design information literacy instruction that facilitates an inclusive, diverse space where multiple modes of communication are developed and rewarded. In this presentation, we will share examples of our own successes and failures designing culturally responsive information literacy sessions and discuss strategies for introducing culturally-grounded participation, problem-solving, and discourse styles into library instruction. We encourage participants to …

Current research shows that for many students, choosing a topic is the scariest and most difficult part of the research process. They want to stick to safe ground where they know they’ll find sources; we want them to explore the unknown and learn new things. Tired of reading papers on the same topics over and over, and concerned that students weren’t making the connections between research and learning, librarians and composition instructors at Oregon State University developed a new approach to teaching topic selection, putting curiosity at the center. Providing a structured and supportive process, we help students overcome their …
Digital/Critical/Media Literacies: Designing Transformational New Literacies Assignments For A Sustainable Instruction Program, Felicia Palsson
Digital/Critical/Media Literacies: Designing Transformational New Literacies Assignments For A Sustainable Instruction Program, Felicia Palsson
Library Instruction West 2014
Some students, and some disciplines, naturally gravitate toward text as a medium. Not everyone does anymore. Why is the research paper (or another written product) still standard for information literacy assignments? For a sustainable instruction program – relevant for students, demonstrating value to administrators – at SSU Library we are implementing a new definition of "information literacy" as a metaliteracy, a skillset that encompasses many "new literacies" (as they’re often known). Grounded in the latest research in the LIS field and beyond, this presentation will share practical ways to transform research-based assignments using new (many free) multimodal tools. Empower your …
