Contextualizing Information Literacy: Why “Why” Makes All The Difference, Wendy Doucette Jul 2019

Contextualizing Information Literacy: Why “Why” Makes All The Difference, Wendy Doucette

Wendy C. Doucette

Graduate students require the same base knowledge of information literacy as undergraduates, but are less likely to receive in-class instruction. Rather than considering them as external, theoretical signposts or goals, this presentation will discuss the value of situating the ACRL Information Literacy Standards and Framework into the real-life graduate student experience. Explaining what it means to have membership in the academic community leads directly to a deeper understanding of scholarly dialogue, authority and peer review. This grounding leads to an understanding of ownership, copyright, and plagiarism. This high-level overview of the scholarly research process allows students to comprehend their own …

Lastly, effective cross-training of staff and student assistants will be reviewed.

Virginia A Dressler

The session will outline one approach to assessing titles that fall within a portion of U.S. copyright law (Section 108(h)) to include published works from 1925-1944 into digital initiatives. This talk will include current work that involves library personnel from digital projects, copyright, cataloging, collection development and systems to identify and select titles that qualify in the copyright exception, focusing on defining "forgotten" and "neglected" works. The talk will provide tips for librarians to start a Last 20 project with some initial steps for collections of any size.

Integrating A New Service Into The Learning Environment: The Value Of Communication, Gan Ye, Sally Bryant Mar 2016

Integrating A New Service Into The Learning Environment: The Value Of Communication, Gan Ye, Sally Bryant

Gan Ye

Libraries often face challenges when launching new services and integrating new applications with existing systems. Universal problems in the library world include not only technical issues but also the need for cooperation and working relationships both within the library and outside of the library. Last August XXX University Libraries completed our initial roll out of SIPX, a new electronic reserves system which is a cloud based product created by Stanford University. Our implementation of SIPX is a case study in best practices for dealing with all of the logistics that are outside of the actual technological issues. The project is …

Better Together Sakai And Sipx-Sakai Virtual Conference.Pptx, Gan Ye, Sally Bryant Dec 2015

Better Together Sakai And Sipx-Sakai Virtual Conference.Pptx, Gan Ye, Sally Bryant

Gan Ye (Grace Ye, 叶敢 )

Pepperdine, like the majority of universities, is concerned with the copyright of materials posted on the Sakai site. Instructors have been advised to take appropriate steps to address copyright compliance before they post copyrighted materials to the Sakai system.  However, new technology makes copyright issues more complicated. Usually instructors or library staff search their library licensed content and link the content to the Courses site. Both instructors and library staff need faster and easier ways to manage copyright permissions and to set up course readings.  Tools are needed to help instructors and library staff in determining whether the course materials …

Streaming Video Resources For Teaching, Learning, And Research, Julie A. Decesare Mar 2014

Streaming Video Resources For Teaching, Learning, And Research, Julie A. Decesare

Julie A DeCesare

In less than 10 years the availability of digitally converted or born digital video, has grown exponentially. Libraries and librarians are constantly navigating, and helping their patrons navigate, this shift from analog to digital. For access to video, our libraries are challenged by an individual consumer marketplace, where institutional access is often limited and expensive. Due to limitations of streaming content, licensing and copyright issues for use in learning management systems and public performance screenings, and time and budgetary issues surrounding the conversion of analog to digital formats, public and educational institutions are still very reliant on physical formats. Patron …
