How To Narrow A Search For Scholarly Articles, Larry Sheret
How To Narrow A Search For Scholarly Articles, Larry Sheret
Larry Sheret
This video demonstrates how to select appropriate search terms to narrow the scope of searches in the ScienceDirect database. Natural language searches are often more effective when searching the full text of an article. Once the researcher has located one or more articles, the researcher is more likely to identify any jargon or scientific terms used for the topic. A second revised search of the abstract field can be performed using the newly identified terms, often yielding more precise and relevant results. (5.4 Mb, 2min 33sec)

Feel burned out from teaching the same monotonous one-shot library instruction sessions? Worry that all of your colleagues are always creating dynamic lesson plans, while you’re stuck using the same one? Forget the last time you even thought about why you’re teaching? As library instructors, we’ve all felt this way. As the pressures and demands on teaching librarians grow, we believe the need for Immersion is more essential than ever. Many, if not most, librarians receive little or no formal training focused on instruction, but Immersion can help address this critical gap and pave the way to more thoughtful library …

Intellectual Property And Attribution In A Cross-Cultural Context: Understanding International Students’ Attitudes Towards Citation And Plagiarism, Christopher Sweet
Intellectual Property And Attribution In A Cross-Cultural Context: Understanding International Students’ Attitudes Towards Citation And Plagiarism, Christopher Sweet
Scholarly Publications
Beliefs regarding intellectual property and attribution in the United States vary greatly from those held in other parts of the world. International Students studying in the U.S. for the first time often struggle in writing classes with the when, why, and how of academic attribution and citation. Following the cultural norms of their home countries, these students often end up unintentionally plagiarizing portions of their writing. This presentation will examine cultural variations in regards to intellectual property and attribution. It will also provide guidelines for helping instructors and librarians who work with international students in writing courses.
The Role Of Information Literacy In Service Learning Courses: A Case Study And Best Practices, Christopher Sweet
The Role Of Information Literacy In Service Learning Courses: A Case Study And Best Practices, Christopher Sweet
Scholarly Publications
Service Learning is a quickly growing movement within higher education that empowers students to utilize classroom knowledge to solve a problem or effect a change within their local community. Information Literacy is critical for getting students to understand the “why” and “how” that should ground all service learning projects. This presentation will begin with an overview of the service learning movement. Next, I will present a case study of my experiences as an embedded librarian in an Environmental Studies Senior Seminar. The presentation will conclude with a summary of emerging best practices for incorporating information literacy into service learning courses.
Selecting, Implementing And Teaching A Web-Scale Discovery Tool, Christopher Sweet
Selecting, Implementing And Teaching A Web-Scale Discovery Tool, Christopher Sweet
Scholarly Publications
In the fall of 2010, Illinois Wesleyan University reviewed all the major web-scale discovery tools available to libraries. We chose to be a beta-test site for EBSCO’s Discovery Service (EDS) and conducted usability testing with students. We eventually purchased EDS and did a full roll-out this past fall semester. This presentation will address the philosophy behind web-scale discovery along with our experiences regarding selection, testing, implementation, evaluation, and teaching. The presentation will also include live search demonstrations using Wesleyan’s EDS interface.

School Closure Decision-Making Processes: Problems And Prospects, Bill Irwin, Mark Seasons
School Closure Decision-Making Processes: Problems And Prospects, Bill Irwin, Mark Seasons
Faculty Publications
This paper explores the issue of the permanent closures of public schools in Ontario. School closure processes are highly (and bitterly) contested, rife with conflict, and with few exceptions, harshly criticized by school and community stakeholders who see closures as a loss of irreplaceable social infrastructure. There is a need for a more nuanced planning style that acknowledges the realities of politics, unequal power relations and the validity of community residents' needs and values.To better understand the consequences of school closures upon communities, the authors evaluate the historical and current school closure decision-making process in Ontario. This entails a four …
