Write Together: Assessing Writing Center Data For Library Collaboration, Heidi Gauder, Hector Escobar

Roesch Library Faculty Presentations

Two academic support units, the library and the writing center, will be co-located on the library’s first floor starting Fall 2014. With a mandate to integrate services, the library was particularly interested in learning how the writing center addressed the evaluation, integration and attribution of sources, tasks similar to the work of reference librarians. Learn how we analyzed the writing center’s consultant reports in order to gain a deeper understanding of their work and prepare for a more effective service integration.

Consistency And Change: The (R)Evolution Of The Basic Communication Course, Joesph M. Valenzano, Samuel P. Wallace, Sherwyn P. Morreale

Communication Faculty Publications

The basic communication course, with its roots in classical Greece and Rome, is frequently a required course in general education. The course often serves as our “front porch,” welcoming new students to the Communication discipline. This essay first outlines early traditions in oral communication instruction and their influence on future iterations of the course. In addition, because fundamental changes in higher education in more modern times affected emphases and delivery of the course, we focus on the relationship between general education and the basic course and the significant curricular changes to the course during the latter part of the 20th …

Addams On Cultural Pluralism, European Immigrants, And African Americans, Marilyn Fischer

Philosophy Faculty Publications

In this paper, I will restrict the discussion to Addams’s writings during the twentieth century’s first decade, when she developed most of her thinking on cultural pluralism. By 1910, Dewey had not yet moved to cultural pluralism, Boas’s cultural relativism had not yet penetrated the intellectual world, and Mendelian genetics had not yet replaced Lamarckian assumptions regarding heredity.The Great War was yet to shatter illusions about Western civilization’s strength and rightness.

Exhibition Handlist, Kathleen M. Webb

Supplemental Media

In preparing for Imprints and Impressions, we ran across many interesting words that have fallen out of the general lexicon. With this booklet, we have brought one back: handlist. Dean Kathleen Webb ran across it in a 1944 booklet from the J. Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City. Though the word no longer appears in most new dictionaries, it’s still in the Oxford English Dictionary:

A list of a particular type or category of things, presented in a readily consultable form; esp. a list of the books or manuscripts in a particular place, on a particular subject, etc.; …

The Gender Pay Gap; Continually Hurting Women, Grant A. Johnson

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

This particular project was our third and final piece to be written for my English 200H class in which the subject deals with "Gender in America." This assignment called for us to research deeply into our chosen topic dealing with gender issues as well as produce original research through a survey or interview. To begin this assignment I began researching scholarly articles relating to my topic, "Gender Pay Gap." After gathering scholarly research, I then produced a survey with responses from my fellow classmates in order to incorporate their perspective into my writing. Once the first draft was completed, two …

Warning: Models In Magazines Are Larger Than They Appear, Alexandra G. Amodio

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

My process began by brainstorming ideas for the essay, and how to conduct my own original research so that it would be an asset to my essay. Once I decided on the topic of adding warning labels to women's fashion magazines, I concluded that a survey of my female peers at the University of Dayton would provide me with the best information to support my ideas. I was able to incorporate my original research into my essay and improve my essay by writing three drafts and receiving feedback from my classmates and teacher.

A Dark Supper: Borowski's Repetitive Use Of The Word Darkness And Its Meaning In "The Supper", Michael Wagner

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

My writing process focused on developing a functional literary analysis of a short story in the novel, “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen.” I chose the short story titled “The Supper” because I felt I had a great understanding of what the writer was representing with his language. Our instructor provided us with a “Methodology” assignment in a previous class, in order to teach us to look for certain trends and patterns in language that the writer subtly places. Such trends and patterns include: repetitions, binaries, and strands. We were asked to write these trends and patterns down, …

The Fight For The Outdoors, Patrick D. Gianaras

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

After being given the assignment of a literacy narrative, our class read multiple different examples to see how they were constructed. One thing that stuck out to me, and that our professor really honed in on, was the extensive use of detail to create good imagery. After forcing as much detail as possible into my first draft, I was then able to clean it up by simply removing words and phrases that made some segments of the story much too wordy.

Integrated Service Spaces: New Ways Of Assessing Collaboration., Hector Escobar, Heidi Gauder

Roesch Library Faculty Presentations

Many academic libraries have participated in the growing trend in creating unified service desks, where users visit one desk to get help from a variety of library and other campus services. The University of Dayton’s Roesch Library, however, is exploring a different model. It is piloting a service that lends itself to true integration with external departments. Although unified service desks offer the convenience of one-stop assistance, the various units may still act as silos. Service integration facilitates better cross-training and less confusion for students who may need multiple forms of help in one common area.

The library began to …

Using Assessment To Leverage Collaboration With The Campus Writing Center, Heidi Gauder, Hector Escobar

Roesch Library Faculty Presentations

Purpose

Like many academic libraries, the University of Dayton’s Roesch Library houses a writing center. Currently located on the Library’s 2nd floor, it will soon move and become integrated with the library’s reference service. Since the writing center operates independently from the library (e.g., it is staffed by students and reports to different campus administrators), the library reference team, comprised of tenure-line faculty librarians, wanted to better understand writing center services. Given that research and writing are often intertwined, the library was particularly interested in learning how the writing center addressed the evaluation, integration and attribution of sources, tasks similar …

Results For Résumés: Managing Undergraduate Library Interns, Katy Kelly, Colleen Hoelscher, Heidi Gauder

Roesch Library Faculty Publications

The academic library can play a crucial role in experiential learning for undergraduate students. In 2011, librarians at the University of Dayton built on the idea of student workers and partnered with the University Honors Program to offer customized experiential learning through paid internships. Librarians work one-on-one with students from a variety of disciplines. With experiences tailored to student interests, the library setting becomes a real world laboratory for skills training within the undergraduates’ disciplines or career interests. This article will describe the variety of experiences offered, resources needed, and ways of measuring and assessing for an effective internship program. …
