The Embedded Librarian As Graduate Coach, 2016 Gardner-Webb University
The Embedded Librarian As Graduate Coach, Pamela Dennis
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
In a time when more classes are being offered online and in-person reference desk questions are dwindling, it is even more crucial that librarians to seek out students where they are. One way of doing that is by befriending teaching faculty in discipline areas. Whether at the freshman or doctoral level, literature indicates that students prefer one-on-one interaction with librarians. But librarians undersell themselves and find themselves in a world of anonymity. It’s hard to be valued when you are invisible. By collaborating with the faculty, the librarian has the opportunity of embedding in online classes, co-instructing, receiving invitations to …

Drinking Coffee With Undergrads: Non-Traditional Approaches To Outreach, Reference Services, And Engagement In An Academic Library Setting., Alex Boucher, Karlie Johnson, Kayla Johnson, James Gilbreath
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
Advertising and promoting key services and resources is crucial to the mission of any academic library. But successfully engaging with the student body of any large university is a challenging and problematic task. What does an academic librarian do? What does an academic library have to offer its students? Do undergraduates (or even graduate students) really know what libraries and librarians have to offer? Librarians at The University of Alabama and The University of North Carolina-Greensboro have attempted to bridge this gap by moving out of the physical confines of the library in order to engage with students on familiar …
Forensic Information Literacy: The Csi Approach To Inquiry And Scholarly Communication, 2016 Manhattan College
Forensic Information Literacy: The Csi Approach To Inquiry And Scholarly Communication, Bernadette Maria Lopez-Fitzsimmons
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
Teaching Information Literacy using the CSI Investigation Methodology fulfills two ACRL Frameworks: No. 4, Research as Inquiry, and No. 5, Scholarship as Conversation. This methodology requires structuring lessons so that students use different sources. Students will experience the research process as they uncover new and unexpected information which may or may not confirm their original thesis statement, problem or question. They will realize that researching and critical thinking depend on consistently and continuously asking questions from different perspectives. Like a CSI, students will experience research as inquiry (ACRL No. 4).
Although this type of lesson requires structure, it also demands …

Behind The Scenes With Instructional Videos, Carrie Moran, Rachel Mulvihill, Rosie Flowers, Karli Mair
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
Library created instructional videos can enhance library instruction in face to face classes, online classes, and at service points.

This presentation will detail the efforts of a large university library to create a cohesive management and development plan for library instructional videos, as part of a larger information literacy program.
Presenters will discuss the creation of a video team within the library, the process for developing a robust set of video guidelines, and the challenges faced to accomplish these …

Copyright, Fair Use, And Social Media Instruction For Undergraduates, 2016 Loyola University, New Orleans
Copyright, Fair Use, And Social Media Instruction For Undergraduates, Elizabeth Kelly
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
Undergraduate students are increasingly expected to navigate the world of posting both original and reused content to social media. But how do students know what they should and shouldn’t share on social media? And how does this change depending on whether the student is using a personal account versus one made for school or for a job? An understanding of the ethics and legality of sharing copyrighted content is essential to the third frame, “Information Has Value,” of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Much of student use of copyrighted materials for coursework is covered by Educational …
Two Heads Are Better Than One: Librarian-Faculty Collaboration To Support Student Topic Development, 2016 Grand Valley State University
Two Heads Are Better Than One: Librarian-Faculty Collaboration To Support Student Topic Development, Lindy Scripps-Hoekstra
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
Research has shown that first-year college students often struggle in developing research paper topics (Head, 2013). Compared to high school assignments where they typically had little choice in a research focus, college freshmen find themselves confronted with an overwhelming number of possible directions. In order to support first-year writing students in the selection and development of research paper topics, a librarian and professor developed an asynchronous system of support. Using Google Spreadsheets, students post potential topics and receive suggestions and links to relevant library resources from their professor and librarian. This presentation will detail the development of this partnership and …

Reading Materials And Reading Trends Of Youth Incarcerated In Mississippi’S State-Run Training School, 2016 The University of Southern Mississippi
Reading Materials And Reading Trends Of Youth Incarcerated In Mississippi’S State-Run Training School, Rodney M. Ashmore
SLIS Connecting
While MS Code 43-21-321(5)(i) requires juvenile detention centers to make reading materials available to delinquents, it fails to define specifics about the types of reading materials to which youth are to have access. Likewise, while the Robertson and Dunaway (2006) report identified facilities that provided materials and levels of access, it fell short of providing specific information on the reading materials available in the juvenile detention centers because it was not within the scope of the report. Thus, there is no clear picture of what materials delinquents have access to or read when they are placed in a juvenile correctional …

Teen Tested: The State Of Ya Services In America's Public Libraries, James Pinkard

The field of young adult services has been the recipient of much attention in library literature. However, current research on the status of young adult services is lacking, as noted by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA, 2011, Priority Area 1, para. 1). This research focuses on staffing, programming and collection development practices for young adults in selected U.S. public libraries. It will also seek to reveal whether a correlation exists between the presence of a young adult librarian and the state of a library's young adult services, as well as whether a correlation exists between the size of …

Public children’s librarianship and school librarianship share some sweet similarities. You’ll receive many hugs, have an incredible impact on the growing literacy development of small minds, and have as many books as you can read… children’s books are the best books, of course! Some of the main differences come into play when considering required education and subsequent pay, the structure of programming and scheduling, and the responsibilities and additional duties of both.
