University Libraries: Faculty Presentations

During this session, presenters will offer simple strategies for content creation and management that maximize opportunities for repurposing content across delivery platforms while keeping maintenance to a minimum. First, we will consider strategies for content creation-including naming, description, and chunking-that support repurposing of content for multiple audiences and support contexts. Second, we will look at strategies for dynamically mapping content across platforms that eliminates any need to monitor platform content separately. While this session will focus on LibGuides and LibAnswers, the content creation techniques we discuss are applicable to any content management system that supports dynamic content mapping and/or external …

Brave New World: Observations During The Early Transition Between Public And Academic Librarians, Jessica Garner

University Libraries: Faculty Presentations

After a decade in public libraries, a move to the world of academic libraries is exciting, new and-sometimes-an exercise in learning how to see the world one is accustomed to as if it were suddenly turned slightly sideways. This discussion address the little differences a newcomer to academic libraries sees in the first months of an academic career and asks the audience to think about little details of their everyday business that may not be as little as they believe.

Conclusion - The Experiential Library, Pete Mcdonnell

Library Faculty Works

Conclusion of edited book by Pete McDonnell.

Abstract: "The process of learning through experience, whether in formal or informal settings, can be likened to a journey. There will likely be twists, turns, and unexpected vistas to be explored. For libraries wishing to take experiential learning further, a teacher’s creed can serve as a map to the landscape, a useful tool for getting to where one would like to be. A teacher’s creed is a personal statement of an educator’s beliefs about what education means and how it ought to be conducted. This type of meaningful statement of belief can be …

Preface - The Experiential Library, Pete Mcdonnell

Library Faculty Works

Preface for edited work by Pete McDonnell.

The Experiential Library: Transforming Academic and Research Libraries through the Power of Experiential Learning features contributions―in a relatively conversational, practical, and "how-to" format―from various academic libraries across broad educational levels that have implemented experiential learning programs, services, or resources to enhance the learning and development of both students and library employees. As academic libraries and academic librarians are seeking ways to transform themselves and create collaborative synergies within and without their institutions, this timely book suggests exciting ways to integrate experiential learning into the library’s offerings.

We’Ve Got You Covered! Using An Umbrella Approach For Research And Beam To Build Student Research Papers: How Library Instruction And English Composition Classes Lay The Foundation For Information Literacy And Research Skills, Samantha Mcneilly, Amy Locklear

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

The Library and English instructors have typically utilized traditional ‘one-shot’ sessions to introduce students in Composition classes to the library databases and other resources available to them. Typically, there is little discussion as to how to formulate research strategies other than using keywords and Boolean operators in the search boxes of the various databases. Librarians expect the English instructors to prepare their students ahead of time on how to formulate keywords that will be used during their research. While most writing instructors are familiar with how to conduct research, they may not spend much time on teaching how to conduct …

Galileo: Staying Afloat In The Digital Age, Pamela Y. Mccreless

Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy

According to the Pew Research Center, 94% of teachers surveyed indicated that their students are “very likely” to use Google or other search engines ahead of all other sources when doing research for assignments. Educators agree that students are drowning in information. Teachers and librarians alike have the mission to teach information literacy skills to enable students to stay afloat in the sea of information. These same students were reported to lack online search skills. Students should understand that not all search engines are alike nor can all search engine results be trusted 100% of the time.

This poster describes the development and promotion of a Fair Use Checklist.

Coll-App-Orating With Students: Ibeacons And Ar And Gamification, Oh My!, Jiaxin Low

Research Collection Library

Freshmen at Singapore Management University are required to attend library orientation in person before their first term. Traditional workshops were replaced in 2012 by LibQuest, a problem-based activity which received positive feedback from students.

However, due to increasing sizes of each freshmen cohort, we started considering alternatives which were more scalable and sustainable.

In 2015, we collaborated with a student team from the School of Information Systems on a Proof of Concept: a mobile app that allows on-demand library orientation.

In the app, users are tasked to capture “monsters” scattered throughout the library. The app alerts users if there are …
