Screaming Into The Ether: Assessing E-Resources Outreach Through Digital Touchpoints, Jamie G. Hazlitt, John Jackson
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
What is the impact of social media, targeted email, and other intentional promotional efforts on e-resource usage? Is there a correlation between e-resources marketing and the use of those resources? What data can we gather, what can we learn, and how can this be used to improve our communications with faculty and outreach via social media and digital spaces?
This presentation will explore the findings from the first year of a multi-year study on marketing e-resources at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Librarians at the William H. Hannon Library examined the usage of specific e-resources over the course of …

In 2016, the speakers embarked upon a multi-institutional project to compare print and e-book usage across four Southern California institutions (Claremont Colleges Library, Loyola Marymount University, Pepperdine University, and University of Southern California). The preliminary results of this comparative usage analysis, presented as a poster session at the Charleston Conference, revealed that print books in certain art and architecture classes and subclasses are used over e-books, suggesting “leanings” in format preferences of users.
While this collaborative research project provided provocative insights into art and architecture e-book usage, it also raised important research methods questions related to collaborative analysis using multiple …

Conducting copyright clearance and ingesting appropriate versions of faculty publications can be a labor intensive and time consuming process. At Loyola Marymount University (LMU), a medium-size, private institution, the Digital Library Program (DLP) had been conducting copyright clearance one publication at a time. This meant that it took an enormous amount of time from start to finish to review and process the list of publications on a given faculty member’s CV. In October 2016, the Digital Program Librarian learned about the automated workflow developed by librarians at University of North Texas and decided to give it a try. At this …

The changing mechanisms of scholarly publishing may make it difficult for you to determine where to publish the results of your research or creative works. In order to assist you in making the best decisions for your work, and to avoid journals that may not be credible, the William H. Hannon Library has developed a rubric for the evaluation of journals. Our focus during the development of this tool was specifically to address the concerns of our Loyola Marymount University faculty about Open Access journals, but this rubric may be applied more broadly to any kind of journal.

Social justice is a critical component of information literacy (IL). As librarians we have an obligation to critique the power structures that control information. Instruction librarians at four medium to large, private, Catholic institutions; collaborated to develop IL instruction grounded in social justice. The project involved applying a social justice construct to IL; creating lesson plans and instructional strategies; assessment; and sharing lessons in an open access database.

Conducting copyright clearance and ingesting appropriate versions of faculty publications can be a labor intensive and time consuming process. At Loyola Marymount University (LMU), a medium-size, private institution, the Digital Library Program (DLP) began exploring and experimenting with automated processes to manage copyright clearance and ingest workflows with regards to faculty publications. The goal of such experimentation was to increase efficiency in our processes to ingest more faculty publications in LMU's institutional repository. In this lightening talk, we highlight our workflows and tools used to manage the automated workflows, some of the issues and challenges we experienced during this exploratory …

The Evolution Of The Personal Networks Of Novice Librarian Researchers, Marie Kennedy, David P. Kennedy, Kristine R. Brancolini
The Evolution Of The Personal Networks Of Novice Librarian Researchers, Marie Kennedy, David P. Kennedy, Kristine R. Brancolini
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
This article describes for the first time the composition and structure of the personal networks of novice librarian researchers. We used social network analysis to observe if participating in the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL) affected the development of the librarians’ personal networks and how the networks changed over the course of one year. Four times during the year, we used EgoWeb 2.0, open-source software for social network analysis, to gather the data used in the study. We found that the size of the research networks of the participants dramatically increased after the IRDL summer workshop and continued …

This activity was created to introduce first-year students to library resources they can use for their annotated bibliography assignment. In pairs, students are assigned a task card that requires them to find an information source. After finding a source meeting the criteria of their task card, the student teams input their answers into a Google Form. Formative assessment takes place during class, allowing the librarian to modify instruction on-the-spot based on the responses from the form.Summative assessment takes place at the end of the semester, when a rubric is applied to a sample of student responses from the activity. This …
The Advantages Of Practice, Or We Work In Libraries: That's Why Our Research Is Most Likely To Be Relevant, Kristine R. Brancolini

This editorial responds to an article in the previous issue of The Journal of Academic Librarianship (November 2016), in which the editor-in-chief wrote about the difficulties of librarians conducting research, focusing on "the constraints of practice." The current author contends that librarians are best suited to address research questions that arise from practice. Practice is an advantage, not a disadvantage, for library and information science research. Despite the challenges of balancing research and practice, librarians write the majority of research articles published in the leading library and information science research journals,including The Journal of Academic Librarianship.
The Development And Use Of A Research Self-Efficacy Scale To Assess The Effectiveness Of A Research Training Program For Academic Librarians, Kristine R. Brancolini, Marie R. Kennedy
The Development And Use Of A Research Self-Efficacy Scale To Assess The Effectiveness Of A Research Training Program For Academic Librarians, Kristine R. Brancolini, Marie R. Kennedy
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
Research self-efficacy – or research confidence – has been shown to be a predictor of research productivity. There is also some evidence that it is a mediating factor between the research training environment and research productivity. To explore the connection between research training and research self-efficacy, the authors developed, validated, and later expanded a scale to measure research self-efficacy among academic librarians. They used the expanded 38-item scale to measure the research self-efficacy of participants from a three-year research training workshop for academic librarians, comparing results before and after the workshop. Participants experienced significant increases in research self-efficacy across all …
Institutional Repository Use Of Unpaywall And Oa Button, Jessea K. Young
Institutional Repository Use Of Unpaywall And Oa Button, Jessea K. Young
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
Frequently we, scholarly communications librarians, talk about the labor that goes into copyright clearance. We spend hours browsing Sherpa/Romeo, but when we get to archiving pre-print or post-print restrictions our labor stops; because faculty do not self-archive their publication. At Loyola Marymount University, we have integrated Unpaywall and OA Button into our ingestion workflow to find pre-prints or post-prints. This snapshot will explore the analysis and findings of our use of these two free Google Chrome apps to expand Digital Commons @ LMU.

Collections Decoded: Reflections And Strategies For Anti-Racist Collection Development, Aisha Conner-Gaten, Kristyn Caragher, Tracy Drake
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
Operating from three distinct but interlocking perspectives as a Black woman archivist, a White woman anti-racist public librarian, and a Black woman academic librarian, we will facilitate a discussion about our experiences navigating collection development and collection development policies. Together we will acknowledge and address the disparities of race in collection development practices and discuss practical strategies for developing an anti-racist agenda at our institutions. We will also discuss how anti-racist accomplices can both support and follow the lead of Black women librarians and archivists as well as strategies for developing anti-racist collection development practices.
