In recent years a darkening financial horizon has intensified the focus on accountability for academic institutions of and their libraries.1-2 Increasingly, funders are seeking evidence of the financial return on these investments, or, in its absence, proof of non-monetary “value.” Identifying these “elusive”3 models for measuring the effectiveness of library resources and service is of concern to practitioners and the organizations that represent them. The Association of Research Libraries’ (ARL) commitment to identifying varied indicators of quality is evident in the New Measures Initiative and the development of instruments like LibQUAL+®,4 and the ACRL’s 2006-75 and 2009-106 presidents identified assessing …

User Education And Information Literacy In Agricultural Universities Of India, 2010 Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology
User Education And Information Literacy In Agricultural Universities Of India, Neena Singh
Communications in Information Literacy
Twenty-six of the agricultural universities in India teach user education and information literacy (IL). This article evaluates these courses and investigates if and how the course curriculum blends research and technical writing skills effectively. Unfortunately, the courses lack uniformity in teaching IL and technical writing skills. Since the universities are under state government control, they are unable to provide uniform curricula throughout India. There is also a need for a credited course on IL, integrating ICT and computer skills, and another course for research and technical writing.

Research For Design: Exploring Student And Instructor Attitudes Toward Accessing Library Resources And Services From Course Management Systems (Cms), Merinda Mclure, Karen Munro
Communications in Information Literacy
The authors report a study concerning student and instructor attitudes toward accessing library resources and services from within course management systems (CMS). In spring 2008, the authors conducted semi-structured interviews with a small population of students and instructors at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and at Colorado State University (CSU). They asked participants to respond to examples of library integrations in course management systems at other institutions and to report their local experiences with both the campus CMS and library services. Participant responses frequently challenged and complicated the authors' assumptions about best practices in integrating a library presence and …

Needs Analysis: The First Step In Library Instruction Assessment, 2010 University of North Carolina Wilmington
Needs Analysis: The First Step In Library Instruction Assessment, Anne Pemberton
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
Using instructional design methods, specifically conducting a needs analysis, can provide librarians with a road map for designing an assessment plan for library instruction. Instructional design models are often unfamiliar to librarians and underutilized in library instruction and in information literacy programs. One instructional design model is ADDIE: Analyze Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. The first step in the process, the analysis, can be done by developing a needs analysis for your specific institution in order to measure the gap between what faculty expect students to know and the knowledge and skills that students actually possess. Conducting a needs analysis …

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
The number of students taking online classes has risen substantially over past several years. Many traditional colleges offer online and hybrid classes as an alternative to traditional face-to-face instruction. Face-to-face faculty are encouraged to learn and use course management systems (CMS) to publish syllabi and assignments, track student grades and supplement traditional interactions with chat and electronic discussion boards. Often overwhelming to instructors, digital educational tools proliferate throughout the academic landscape. Determining which tools will work for your classroom environment can be daunting, in addition to the hours of training so as to effectively use those tools. Partnering with librarians …

Electronic Reserve Copyright And You, 2010 West Virginia University
Electronic Reserve Copyright And You, Martin Dunlap
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
Electronic Reserve (eReserve) systems are a boon for students and faculty alike: having only one online place where professors can post class readings, homework, the solutions, class notes, film, music, as well as any other materials students need to do well in class. The online system also offers the faculty an easy way to update and disseminate course materials to students. The goal of any efficient eReserve system is to make life a little easier for both students and faculty while not over-burdening the staff who are tasked with running it. However, making a system easy for faculty to use …
