Implementing An Embedded Information Literacy Program At The University Level: Best Practices, Ann Agee
Implementing An Embedded Information Literacy Program At The University Level: Best Practices, Ann Agee
Faculty and Staff Publications
Information literacy is the ability of individuals "to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information" (American Library Association, 1989, para. 3). At San Jose State University (SJSU), information literacy has been traditionally taught through one-shot, 50-minute lectures delivered by university librarians to students enrolled in a select few undergraduate courses. This method of instruction has proven to be neither sustainable nor effective. The lectures are not tailored by discipline and students might receive the same lecture several times while completing their lower-division coursework. SJSU wants to replace this format …

Who Moved My Desk? The Future Reference Platforms, Anamika Dasgupta, Steven Ovadia
Faculty and Staff Publications
New communication platforms such as Wikis, Bots, MySpace, Webex, Podcasts, Text-to-speech programs and community-based reference sites offer a means to share information in different formats, supporting specific learning styles, and instruction environments. The effectiveness of these communication platforms in providing reference services depends on many factors: the nature of information being shared, the attitudes of the information seeker and sharer, and the environment and context in which the information is being shared. This presentation will include an introduction and overview of these communication platforms.

Self-Archiving And The Copyright Transfer Agreements Of Isi-Ranked Library And Information Science Journals, Anita Coleman
Self-Archiving And The Copyright Transfer Agreements Of Isi-Ranked Library And Information Science Journals, Anita Coleman
Faculty Publications
A study of Thomson-Scientific ISI ranked Library and Information Science (LIS) journals (n = 52) is reported. The study examined the stances of publishers as expressed in the Copyright Transfer Agreements (CTAs) of the journals toward self-archiving, the practice of depositing digital copies of one's works in an Open Archives Initiative (OAI)-compliant open access repository. Sixty-two percent (32) do not make their CTAs available on the open Web; 38% (20) do. Of the 38% that do make CTAs available, two are open access journals. Of the 62% that do not have a publicly available CTA, 40% are silent about self-archiving. …

Peer Mentors And Writing Center Tutors: What Our Collaborations Taught Us About Serving The Sjsu Freshmen Students, Peggy Cabrera, Robert Bruce, Francis E. Howard
Faculty and Staff Publications
The Library Outpost, a satellite office of the campus’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library, seeks ways to reach out to First Year students who are new to writing research papers. One of our goals is to meet the First Year students on their own turf. Since the Peer Mentors and Writing Center tutors have peer relationships with the First year students, we want to learn how we can collaborate with them to provide services to the First year students. We surveyed the Peer Mentors and Writing Center Tutors to assess their perceptions of their own research skills, and their …

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in San Jose, California is a unique dual-use library serving the students of San Jose State University and the community of San Jose, California. The reference collections of the two libraries are merged and interfiled to promote ease of access for both populations served. Economies of scale were realized through collaborative collection development activities for major reference purchases between the two institutions. This article describes the planning and creation of the King Library's merged reference collection and reviews the literature of collaborative collection development and merged or interfiled collections.
