Collaborative Chemical Information Literacy: Is It "Scholarly?", Barbara C. Harvey
Collaborative Chemical Information Literacy: Is It "Scholarly?", Barbara C. Harvey
Barbara C. Harvey
This symposium illustrates a collaborative classroom activity that incorporates information literacy into an introductory chemistry course. The primary learning outcomes of the activity are to understand the peer-review process, knowing how to locate original research articles based on “clues” in a general news article, and how to differentiate between popular and scholarly periodicals. Students work in small groups in a highly-collaborative classroom setting. Each group is given a recent chemistry-related news item, and must determine how and where to find the original research article the news item is based on. Emphasis is placed on identifying original, peer-reviewed research publications. Each …

Using Social Media In The Classroom: Assessment Of Its Effectiveness., Jennifer Wright
Using Social Media In The Classroom: Assessment Of Its Effectiveness., Jennifer Wright
Jennifer Wright Joe
Social media can be an effective tool in promoting critical thinking and collaboration in library instruction. Whether it is simple polls or a much more collaborative event, these methods engage students and allow them to interact with material, professors, and other students in an organized fashion that might not be feasible without the use of technology. However, many faculty members are quick to incorporate these new learning tools without regard to their effectiveness. In this session, several applications of social media will be presented and their effectiveness will be discussed. Then, to conclude, the participants will discuss the best way …

Natural History Collections: Connecting With Faculty And Content, Stacey Knight-Davis, Todd A. Bruns
Stacey Knight-Davis
For well over a century, American biologists have built collection of plants, animals, fungi, insects, and other natural materials. Often, these collections serve as a record of the unique biodiversity of the local area and provide a record of change over time. Many taxonomic, genetic, and environmental discoveries lay waiting in the drawers and cupboards in which these specimens are stored. / / Uploading images of natural history specimens to Digital Commons allows them to be easily discovered in with a web search, leading the user back to the home collection. As an example, a search for 'big leaf magnolia …

NOTE: A revised and updated version of this presentation was given at the 2014 United States Electronic Theses and Dissertations Association annual conference in Orlando FL in September 2014. Since 2008 EIU has been digitizing ETDs and making them available via the library catalog, I-Share (the state of IL consortia catalog), and WorldCat. It was only after ETDs were included in the institutional repository (The Keep) that the majority of faculty became fully aware of how accessible these theses had become. This dawning realization led to important conversations with faculty and other stakeholders about concerns regarding publishing, grant approval, and …

Cutting The Red Tape: Direct Engagement With The University And College Campus Student Body For Outreach And Programming Needs, Rachael Muszkiewicz, Jonathan Bull
Cutting The Red Tape: Direct Engagement With The University And College Campus Student Body For Outreach And Programming Needs, Rachael Muszkiewicz, Jonathan Bull
Jonathan Bull
This workshop discusses various ways to directly engage student patrons for outreach and programming purposes, while eliminating post-secondary administration red-tape that could hinder establishment of this programming. The presenters illustrate ways to delegate to certain students creation and promotion of library-related content for consumption by the rest of the campus community. The presenters show that engaging directly with this group of creative students, not only gives this student project experience and confidence, but frees the outreach and programming staff’s time commitment to explore additional ways to connect with the campus’ community. Going to the students directly and not relying on …

Libraries In The Course Management System: Best Practices And New Directions, Lily Todorinova, Matt Torrence, Jon Jeffreys
Matt Torrence
Course Management Systems (CMS), such as Blackboard, Sakai, Canvas Instructure, and Moodle are ubiquitous in the classroom environment. These systems are bridging the gap between traditional, hybrid, and fully online classes, as most academic institutions have adopted the use of a CMS across a wide spectrum: from serving to keep track of administrative processes, such as grading and attendance, to being the main tool for organizing and communicating course information for both faculty and students. Libraries have responded by implementing a variety of services in the CMS, including LibGuides, chat widgets, discovery search tools, and more. Three academic library panelists …

Assessment has become an important component of any discussion on planning or implementing new library services as well as evaluating existing ones. Yet it is often difficult to know how to proceed with assessment, what tools to use, and how to implement the results of assessment. This session presented a practical example of assessing a new a Science and Technology library service with emphasis placed on how assessment was incorporated into planning process, what tools were used, and what the practical outcomes of that assessment were.

Doughboys And Digitization: Navigating The Web For Wwi Primary Sources, Brandon Bowen
Brandon Bowen
A century has passed since the new technology of the Great War blackened Europe's skies and rumbled slowly across once-fertile farmland. World War I marked the beginning of a new technological era; the old and the new came together as no previous conflict before to decimate parts of Europe. Tanks and the telegraph were replacing more traditional tools like carrier pigeons and draft horses, but the War melded both the old and the new together in ways previously unseen. Besides the battlefield technology used for death and destruction, other new tools were also coming into widespread use. Still- and video-cameras …

Conceptualizing Cultural Literacy As A Key Concept In Researching Caribbean Cultural Groups, Ardis Hanson
Conceptualizing Cultural Literacy As A Key Concept In Researching Caribbean Cultural Groups, Ardis Hanson
Ardis Hanson
There is an emphasis on evidence-based and evidence-informed practice in the social and behavioral sciences. Students in those fields are expected to achieve certain competencies that demonstrate their ability to conduct research. However, students at the undergraduate and graduate levels are often at a loss as to how to optimize their search strategies across multiple, online databases. This is particularly true when researching minority or ‘hidden’ populations. Using a shared, situated interactional approach, I offer a ‘lessons learned’ case study to guide graduate students through the information-seeking process across cultural groups. I describe the differences in faculty and librarians’ perceptions …

Fine-Tuning The User Experience: Integration Of Blackboard And Libguides, Gerald R. Natal
Gerald R Natal
At many institutions, students are required to use the Blackboard online course management system. Often, links are provided to library resources through Blackboard. An extension of this service was developed a few years ago that enabled the delivery of course-related content at the point-of-need by utilizing LibGuides. The desired outcome was that students would have an improved research experience, produce better student work, steer students away from simple, uniformed Google searching to quality databases, and improve usage of library resources. This presentation gives background information on the process and details the steps necessary to implement the integration of these two …

How To Set Up An Erm In Your Library Without Killing Your Coworkers (And Vice Versa), Jon Hansen
Jon Hansen
As libraries shift more and more of the journals and books from print to online, keeping up with them makes an Electronic Resource Manager (ERM) more and more of a necessity. But setting up an ERM is no small task, and one that can put a strain on a library. This presentation will cover one library's experience with setting up an ERM, and what your organization can learn from our choices.

Gil Express & Ill: Odd Couple Or Match Made In Heaven?, Ashley T. Hoffman, Kiara Bynum, Monica Mclaurin
Ashley T. Hoffman
Since its creation in 2004, GIL Express has attempted to supplement traditional ILL services by providing a faster avenue for patrons to request and receive books. However, operating similar services from two different departments can lead to confusion for patrons and headaches for staff. For this project, we will analyze the methods employed by other schools in the USG system to improve the coordination of GIL Express and ILL services. We will present our findings as well as evaluate alternative solutions to streamline the process for both patrons and staff.

A Tableau Vivant Of Il Classrooms: The Multimodal/Multisensory Experience For The Teaching And Learning Of Threshold Concept.”, Kathleen Langan
Kathleen Langan
The Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) release of the Draft Framework for Information Literacy (IL) for Higher Education well positions those who teach IL to reflect on identifying and defining learning. What is learning? Is it a stagnant, finite event or is it a process? Are there always artifacts that are tangible testaments to the act of learning? If not, then how do we measure it? Does teacher bias hinder learning and our understanding of students and what they know? I present my journey and how I found answers to these questions in the philosophy of rhetoric espoused …
