Too New Or Two New? Early Career Librarians Leading Open Efforts At Touro College, Georgia Westbrook, Timothy Valente

Touro University Libraries Publications and Research

At Touro College, there is a growing focus on open educational resources and open scholarship.

For both of us, these are our first professional positions after library school, and as we take up these projects, we have begun to think more about the things we wished we had known before we started and what we have learned about open access in our first weeks on the job.

Our poster engages with this year’s …

Taking Root: Librarians Help New Forestry Students Create A Learning Community, Erica Lopez, Tina Oswald

Librarian and Staff Publications

Librarians have studied and discussed library anxiety ever since Constance Mellon coined the term in 1986. While it may be challenging for librarians to imagine any anxiety about coming into a library and using the available resources, students experience a multitude of stressors as they embark on their college journey. Many are taking college-level courses for the first time. Some might have a roommate they know, or not. (Sometimes the ones you know are a bigger problem than the ones you do not.) Some may be juggling a full course load with work or family responsibilities. Many are on their …

Engaging First Year Students With Intellectual Property, Marian G. Armour-Gemmen

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Since intellectual property is so important to engineers, creating enthusiasm from the beginning of their engineering studies is imperative. Since first year students have not learned how to apply technological concepts to real life, demonstrating intellectual property could be a challenge. To engage first year engineering students in the concept and the value of intellectual property, students were introduced to basic concepts and applications. Different concepts were applied to real life examples allowing them to interface with technology from an intellectual property perspective. This paper highlights not only patents, but also trademarks and trade secrets.
