Information And Interaction Needs Of Distance Students: Are Academic Libraries Meeting The Challenge?, Adelia Grabowsky Apr 2013

Information And Interaction Needs Of Distance Students: Are Academic Libraries Meeting The Challenge?, Adelia Grabowsky

Georgia Library Quarterly

One of the trends currently affecting academic libraries is higher education’s expanding use of online instruction and a rising number of totally online degree programs. As libraries have transitioned from primarily print holdings to a growing reliance on electronic formats, access has become more convenient for all, including distance students. However, the greater availability of e-resources can create a disconnect between the materials used by students and the institution that provides those resources, as well as the librarians who serve as instructors and guides. Libraries have struggled to close the gap by reinventing themselves as a ‘third place’ which students …

Measuring (The Value Of) Space: A Case Study Of A Collaborative Assessment Of An Academic Library’S Physical Collections, Diana Reid, Margo Smith

The Ekstrom Library at the University of Louisville decided it would be valuable to obtain a detailed picture of the space usage in the Library’s physical collections, in order to help resolve ongoing space problems, to create a working document for continued maintenance of the Library’s physical collections and to provide data for library administration to use in support of future space planning. To this end, the Physical Collections Task Force (Task Force) was formed.

Maximizing One-Shot Impact: Using Pre-Test Responses In The Information Literacy Classroom, Andrea Brooks Apr 2013

Maximizing One-Shot Impact: Using Pre-Test Responses In The Information Literacy Classroom, Andrea Brooks

The Southeastern Librarian

New librarians accepting instructional roles in academic libraries inherit classrooms which have evolved beyond the traditional “sage on a stage” model of bibliographic instruction to more active, student-centered information literacy sessions. However, as in the past, these are still primarily one-shot sessions. Assessment is used to make the most of these fifty-minute meetings and might include pre-tests, post-tests, and various classroom assessment techniques (CATs). Assessment provides important benchmark data to measure student information literacy skills, and the results inform and guide instruction librarians. Each assessment method has unique advantages; however, this article will focus specifically on the pre-test and the …

Implementing Discovery At The University Of North Alabama, Amy Butler, Leigh Thompson Apr 2013

Implementing Discovery At The University Of North Alabama, Amy Butler, Leigh Thompson

The Southeastern Librarian

Collier Library, the main library at the University of North Alabama (UNA), provides the campus community with access to over 150 electronic resources. With so many available options, our students often overlook valuable databases. Analysis of usage statistics had shown that some of our most expensive databases had the highest cost per retrieval. Therefore, finding a product that would encourage users to utilize the full range of available databases became a top priority. In the summer of 2010, the Collier Library staff began to seriously investigate the discovery tool marketplace. We felt that the “single search box” concept of discovery …

Ilibraries: Maintaining Relevancy In A Mobile World, Ariel Turner

Faculty Articles

Though the wealth of opportunities mobile technologies provide to libraries is widely acknowledged, some libraries continue to experience challenges when incorporating these technologies.

Such methods include exploring technical blogs or classes, learning from technologically savvy peers, including tablets or other mobile devices in the …
