Instructional Outreach To High Schools: Should You Be Doing It?, Kenneth J. Burhanna Dec 2007

Instructional Outreach To High Schools: Should You Be Doing It?, Kenneth J. Burhanna

Communications in Information Literacy

Academic librarians have recognized the need for and the benefits of instructional outreach to high schools, but faced with budgetary challenges, increasing workloads, and other pressures, librarians sometimes struggle to determine if and how they can work with high schools. This paper will seek to provide practical direction in considering these questions. Using the library high school outreach program at Kent State University Informed Transitions as a sample case, this paper will share observations, discuss practical considerations, and offer recommendations that will serve to guide academic librarians in determining what role they can play in providing instructional outreach to local …


Active Learning With Interactive Whiteboards: A Literature Review And A Case Study For College Freshmen, Robert Schroeder Dec 2007

Active Learning With Interactive Whiteboards: A Literature Review And A Case Study For College Freshmen, Robert Schroeder

Communications in Information Literacy

A well-designed classroom that includes appropriate technology can inspire and support successful instructional design. Interactive whiteboards (IWBs), an example of this technology, have been adopted in Great Britain, primarily in primary and secondary schools. While the literature anecdotally suggests that there are benefits associated with using them in classroom instruction little has been written about their application and efficacy in higher education. The author describes an exercise designed for college freshman, and discusses the benefits of the group work and active assignments engendered by the IWB.

Publishing Original Content In An Institutional Repository, Paul Royster Nov 2007

Publishing Original Content In An Institutional Repository, Paul Royster

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

Institutional repositories (IRs) have been developed and promoted primarily as a means to re-publish scholarly content previously published elsewhere—usually in journals, festschriften, or collections of articles. This essay discusses the use of IRs as the originating publisher of materials not previously published elsewhere, and assesses their potential use as a viable “first resort” for scholarly publication and an already existing alternative to traditional commercial or university presses.

The Evolution Of Instruction In Grant Writing And Research In The Libraries At The University Of Utah, Peter L. Kraus

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Willard Marriott Library and the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library on the campus of the University of Utah . This has led to an unexpected method of library outreach to the university faculty and to the community at large, promoting the overall collections and services of the libraries on campus.
