Susan Gardner Archambault
This paper will present a case study of how Loyola Marymount University (LMU) evaluated the information literacy component across 72 required Rhetorical Arts course sections taken by 1272 freshmen in Spring 2014. Rhetorical Arts is designed to teach students the time- honored tradition of the “good person writing and speaking well for the public good.” The course requirements (as dictated by a common syllabus) include one face-to-face librarian-led workshop, and coursework requiring students to develop a research topic, create a research diary, and create an annotated bibliography. Supporting material for students created by the library to enhance or supplement the …

Susan Gardner Archambault
This presentation offers a case study of how one library’s assessment of datagathered from its public service desk led to changes and improvements in service. The William H. Hannon Library at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) recorded all of the questions and answers asked at its Information Desk from Fall 2009 to the present using the Gimlet (http://gimlet.us) electronic question tracking system. A content analysis was performed on the data that led to advancements in signage and a new knowledge base of FAQ’s. In addition, new services were implemented related to technology and research that addressed user needs.

After completing each tutorial module, students were also required to take a quiz. The effectiveness of the tutorial and quizzes was assessed through a mixed methods approach using direct and indirect measures. Overall areas of weakness are were evaluated and addressed, …

Susan Gardner Archambault
This presentation will give an overview of the structure for embedding information literacy into Loyola Marymount University’s new core curriculum. The curriculum map for information literacy throughout the first-year core courses will be displayed, with an emphasis on how the performance indicators are iterative and help build a foundation for more advanced skills. Also, the first-year information literacy assessment plan, which ranges from mandatory online tutorials to a series of graded research assignments, will be presented.

The William H. Hannon Library at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) conducted a usability study to test Springshare’s LibAnswers product against “How Do I,” our own FAQ (frequently asked questions) web page. Our “How Do I” page featured a set of static links organized by broad category. LibAnswers is a hosted web platform allowing libraries to build a knowledge base that is searchable by keyword or browsable by topic. If a LibAnswers search does not return an answer, users can submit a question and will receive an email response; library staff may then also add the question/answer pair to the public …

Using A Rubric To Assess Freshman English Library Instruction, Susan Archambault, Elisa Acosta
Susan Gardner Archambault
Loyola Marymount University’s (LMU) Reference Department redesigned their freshman English library instruction so that all freshmen get a consistent and measurable experience using the library. In order to move to a more outcomes-based approach that measures what students can do with the information literacy skills we teach them, the Department designed an interactive five-module introduction to the research process that can be evaluated. All teaching materials were inserted onto a “LibGuide” content management system. Students sequentially complete an “English 110 Library Research Worksheet” as they work through the five-module research process and receive library instruction. The Department also designed a …

Abstract Objective – The objective of this study was twofold: 1) to assess the effectiveness of curriculum changes made from the 2009 freshman English library instruction curriculum to the 2010 curriculum at Loyola Marymount University (LMU); and 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of library instruction delivered via a “blended” combination of face-to-face and online instruction versus online instruction alone. Methods – An experimental design compared random samples of student scores from 2009 and 2010 worksheets to determine the effects of a new curriculum on student learning. A second experiment examined the effect of delivery method on student learning by comparing …

This study is a content analysis of reference questions and answers asked at an academic library Information Desk during the Fall 2010/Spring 2011 academic year. An Excel file was created consisting of Reference question statistics recorded using the Gimlet (http://gimlet.us) question tracking system. A data dump was performed, resulting in separate Excel columns for service provider, duration of transaction, question format, Reference Effort Assessment Data (READ) Scale difficulty level*, month, time of day, day of the week, and free-text question and answer. The authors took the free-text question and answer fields and recoded them into the following fields: “Reference Tags,” …
