“Sustainable Living” is a 4-credit General Education course taught through the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at UMass Amherst. Overall, the course directs students to reflect on their values and behaviors related to economic viability, social justice and environmental responsibility. This year, an Information Literacy (IL) component was added -- a weekly online assignment and discussion called “Beyond Google.” Learn how this embedded librarian model increased understanding of course content, provided a forum for articulating values and ideas, and developed IL skills to empower students as sustainability leaders and advocates.

Ditch Your Textbook: Academic Librarians Inspiring Faculty To Go "Open", Steven Bell, Marilyn S. Billings, Mei-Yau Shih, Kristina Morris Baumli

College students descend on the academic library in search of current textbooks, typically discovering there are none. Seeking to assist, academic librarians struggle with the dilemma of how to best provide students with access to textbooks or they ignore the issue all together. Discover how two academic libraries took a totally different route by inspiring faculty to “ditch the textbook”, and instead compile a set of learning materials composed of open and library provided content.

Copyright Futures In The Digital Humanities, Laura Quilter
Copyright Futures In The Digital Humanities, Laura Quilter
Laura Quilter
Digital humanities work raises questions around digitization, search, and non-consumptive uses of texts, as well as distribution and access. But traditional humanities work is also confronting copyright questions, simply in terms of publishing, using, and accessing humanities research. This discussion, facilitated by Laura Quilter, UMass Copyright and Information Policy Librarian, will address the issues raised in copyright litigation, particularly the Authors Guild v. HathiTrust case and the "digital humanities" amicus brief, and consider the possible Open Access future presented by the Open Library of Humanities and other initiatives.

Sabbatical Report: Summary Of Survey Results On Digital Preservation Practices At 148 Institutions, Meghan Banach Bergin
Meghan Banach Bergin
The purpose of my sabbatical project was to identify institutions with established digital preservation programs, and investigate how these programs were implemented. To accomplish this task, I conducted a web-based survey that looked into what systems were being used for digital preservation, what services were offered to the campus or user community, staffing and organizational models to support digital preservation programs, as well as the costs associated with these various digital preservation programs. I received a total of 148 responses to the survey. Of the 148 responses, 100 respondents finished the survey. To follow up from the survey, I conducted …
