Your Librarian: Breaking Down Barriers With Emotional Design, Britt A. Fagerheim, Alex J. Sundt

Library Faculty & Staff Presentations

There can be many barriers between undergraduates and subject librarians: a poor web presence, lack of awareness, and crucially, reluctance to seek help. To reduce this friction, USU libraries have explored a web design concept that is more emotionally-engaging and presents librarians as friendly, capable partners in the research process.

Digital Strategies For Personalizing The Book-A-Librarian Process, Britt A. Fagerheim, Alex J. Sundt

Library Faculty & Staff Presentations

On-demand consultations extend librarians beyond the classroom, supporting critical, one-on-one library instruction. But a successful consultation service requires more than a simple "build it and they will come" digital strategy, as users face numerous challenges in understanding their options, overcoming library anxiety, and finding the right expert to meet their needs. Following up on a prototype introduced last year, presenters will discuss research-informed design concepts and demonstrate a more engaging, friendlier interface for on-demand librarian consultations.

Identifying Ebook Pedagogies For Literacy Instruction: A Qualitative Content Analysis, Jamey Twitchell Herdelin

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Capstones

Students in K-6 support becoming digital learners but many lack the digital skills needed to engage with ICTs such as eBooks. Some educators lack the technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK) to adjust instruction and meet students’ needs. This study examined the extant body of research on the use of eBooks with K-6 literacy instruction to address the perceived lack of effective evidence based practices needed to build self-efficacy. The goal: identify effective TPK regarding when, how, and why to integrate eBooks with K-6 literacy instruction. The research questions: According to the extant literature, what types of K-6 literacy practices and engagements …

Class Observation, Abigail K. Major

Blogging the Library

As the Fortenbaugh Intern in Research and Instruction, a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to observe a couple of class research sessions which were led by some of the Research and Instruction librarians. Coming from a student perspective, I had always found these sessions informative. Each session has allowed me to become more comfortable with my major’s research guide and permits me to learn more about the various databases (shout out to JSTOR) that are available to use. In short, I have always enjoyed these sessions that are led by Research and Instruction librarians, because I am …

We used this rubric to evaluate fifty student research papers and assess inter-rater reliability.

Results: Students tended to score highest on the “Information Has Value” dimension and lowest on the “Scholarship as Conversation” dimension. However, we found a discrepancy between the grading patterns …
