The Burgeoning Information Universe: Implication For Social Work Education And Practice, Sarah C. Johnson Mslis, Lmsw, Margaret Bausman Lcsw-R, Mslis, Sarah Laleman Ward Mlis, Ma
Publications and Research
The information universe is fierce and ubiquitous, replete with a 24 hour news cycle, trolls, bots, fake news, predatory publishers, and paywalls. The exponential acceleration in access to information during these nascent years of the 21st century is simultaneously a victory for egalitarianism and promotion of social equity as well as a daunting hotbed for scurrilous and obfuscated resources requiring discerning and supple information literacy skills to efficiently and effectively navigate an ever burgeoning wealth of knowledge. If, as the above quotations imply, life-long learning and contribution to the knowledge foundation is an ethical standard for professional social workers and …

Creating A Hip In The Library: A High-Impact Practice Case Study, Susan E. Montgomery
Creating A Hip In The Library: A High-Impact Practice Case Study, Susan E. Montgomery
Faculty Publications
High-impact practices, HIPs, have been adopted on college campuses to enhance student learning. The academic library provides services and space contributing to learning at its institution. Librarians conduct space research to learn how the library building can better serve its users. Library space assessment is one way for librarians to engage with faculty and students to create a HIP in the library. This article is a case study of a collaboration between a librarian and a sociology professor to design an observational study. It demonstrates how librarians can contribute to HIPs at their institution by involving students in meaningful research.

Casting Students In The Leading Role: Peer Learning In Academic Libraries, Mallory R. Jallas, Meggan D. Smith
All Musselman Library Staff Works
Peer learning services are an emerging trend in academic libraries of various sizes. These models allow students to engage and support the research needs of other students. These interactions may build off their classroom experiences and library training, while further developing their own research skills. This handout provides the context and questions for the roundtable discussion, “Casting Students in the Leading Role: Peer Learning in Academic Libraries,” at the ACRL 2019 conference. There are also resources for additional reading on the topic.

How Can The Library Show Value In The Research Cycle And Help To Build Institutional Reputation: An Example From Smu, Pin Pin Yeo
Research Collection Library
Libraries face challenges in playing roles and how they can show value in the research cycle of their institution. The presentation will show how the Singapore Management University (SMU) Libraries play a part in the research publications system and how it showcases SMU publications and also provides the full text where possible in the SMU repository called InK. Some examples of how the information is used and what faculty think about having their publications in InK will be shared. The Library is also involved in providing publications metrics.

Holistic Onboarding Of A Generation Y Team Member, Rebeca Peacock, Margie Ruppel
Library Faculty Publications and Presentations
Onboarding a new faculty librarian should be done holistically, including integrating them into the organization and the team, and incorporating their individual strengths. Approaching onboarding holistically can improve team functionality in terms of communication, workflow, and strategic planning. This chapter focuses on one example: face-to-face onboarding of a new Generation Y instructional design librarian who joined the library at a medium metropolitan research university. Onboarding methods presented include formal campus orientations, weekly check-in meetings, a team building exercise, background information about the library and Instruction Team projects, and additional socialization strategies. A review of the relevant literature is included.

Adventures In Rightsizing : Enhancing Discovery And Research With Open Access Journals In The University Library, Barbara M. Pope
Faculty Submissions
Academic libraries have long had print journal collections to support the university’s discovery and research needs. However, they are also continually challenged with needs for relevant content, cost control, and space issues; some academic libraries have downsized their print journal collections as a result. Many academic libraries are replacing some print journal subscriptions with online subscriptions and supplementing with open access journals. Pittsburg State University’s (PSU) Axe Library faces the challenge of providing journal access in order to support the university’s needs and stay on budget. To that end, PSU drastically weeded its print journals in 2016 and later began …
