Going The Distance For International Students: Academic Integrity Support Online, Mandi Goodsett

Michael Schwartz Library Publications

Targeted instruction that teaches international students about plagiarism is an important service that academic libraries can offer. Offering such instruction as an asynchronous, online workshop has distinct benefits in terms of flexibility and ease of learning, but it must be designed with the needs of international students in mind. This study describes one library’s online anti-plagiarism workshop, as well as the results of a qualitative study to determine how such a workshop can best be designed to meet the needs of international students.

Recommended Guidelines For Evaluating Scholarly Contributions, Ellie Dworak

Library Faculty Publications and Presentations

Albertsons Library faculty use the model presented in Ernest Boyer’s 1990 Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, where scholarship is broadly defined as having four functions: discovery, integration, application and teaching. Library faculty value the creation, sharing, and application of knowledge as products of our own work and as a means of self-improvement, leading to greater understanding of the fields in which we work.

Every tenure-eligible library faculty member is expected to produce high-quality and disciplinarily-relevant scholarship, relative to whatever form scholarship takes for them and whatever portion of their workload is assigned to scholarship. Faculty are responsible for presenting …

University Libraries Faculty Assembly Covid-19 Impact Statement, Emily Frigo, Leigh Rupinski, Sheila García Mazari, Jeffrey D. Daniels, Annie Bélanger

Library Reports and Communication

This University Libraries Faculty Assembly Covid-19 Impact Statement serves as documentation of changes that occurred across University Libraries and caused disparate, inequitable, impact to faculty throughout the pandemic, beginning in March 2020 and spanning into 2021. The document is necessarily limited in scope to assist faculty candidates in the tenure-track process and mitigate potential traumas as a result of the pandemic’s impact on that process. The structure of the tenure-track process is imperfect in nature, and this statement takes a trauma-informed, person-first, approach to investigating how to best support candidates in making their case for contract renewal, tenure, and/or promotion.

Guidelines & Resources For Digital Preservation At The Csu Libraries, Eric L. Milenkiewicz

Library Faculty Publications & Presentations

The volume of unique digital assets that need to be managed and preserved by the California State University (CSU) Libraries has increased exponentially over the last decade, a trend that is likely to continue in the years ahead. While some CSU campus libraries have implemented tools such as digital asset management systems (DAMS) to gain greater control and management over their digital assets, many campuses still lack access to a DAMS and the management functions they support. Furthermore, many of the DAMS solutions currently in-use simply back-up data (to local servers or the cloud), which does not constitute a long-term …

Authors Alliance Partner Program (A2p2) [Product Review], Emily Kilcer, Ann C. Kearney

University Libraries Faculty Scholarship

The Authors Alliance Partner Program (A2P2; https://www.authorsalliance.org/a2p2/) is a recent addition to the educational content from the Authors Alliance. This nonprofit advocacy organization aims “to advance the interests of authors who want to serve the public good by sharing their creations broadly.” And this new initiative provides prêt-à-porter instructional material with the express purpose of supporting the scaling of rights–related programming—a goal that distinguishes A2P2 from other well-established and deeply valuable copyright-focused resources (Authors Alliance, 2020). While copyright touches nearly all we do in libraries, outreach in this area can often fall to scholarly communication or copyright librarians. As …
