Desert Or Oasis: Reflecting On Teaching And Tweaking A Discovery Layer, Vera J. Lux, Amy Fyn, Robert J. Snyder

University Libraries Faculty Publications

Implementing and customizing a discovery layer affects not only users but also instruction librarians. To address the teaching implications, librarians from our mid-sized state university engaged in reflective practice to adjust our instruction methods in one-shot sessions. This self-assessment led us to questions about which potential discovery layer customizations would best meet users’ needs. For this reason, we surveyed users regarding their preferences in managing discovery layer results. Presenters will share the benefits received from the reflective practice, provide the results of our librarian and user assessments, and discuss how these informed our teaching and tweaking of the discovery layer.

We Have Only Scratched The Surface: The Role Of Student Research In Institutional Repositories, Becky Thoms, Betty Rozum

Library Faculty & Staff Presentations

Student research, in the form of theses and dissertations, is nearly ubiquitous in institutional repositories (IRs) across the US. However, students at many institutions contribute far more to the scholarly landscape of their communities. This presentation will explore this untapped well of potential material, report on survey data about perceptions of possible benefits of archiving this student work, and encourage discussion of this exciting new avenue of opportunity for libraries.

Course LibGuides bring visibility to library resources that get overlooked and are easy to implement for distance learning or to complement other instructional materials.

Incorporating Etds In The Ir, One Department At A Time, Kristen Hoffman

SPU Works

How do you add student work to an IR when there is no centralized graduate school? At Seattle Pacific University, each department or school sets their own policy and has their own unique workflow, which has both challenges and benefits. Kristen worked with five individual departments to establish workflow solutions; consider if one of these options may work for you as you incorporate student work.
