Instantiation: Academia's Pop-Up Museum, Corina M. Iannaggi, Kiersten F. Latham Dec 2014

Instantiation: Academia's Pop-Up Museum, Corina M. Iannaggi, Kiersten F. Latham

Proceedings from the Document Academy

This article provides an overview of the creation and installation of the Document Academy (DOCAM) 2014 Instantiation, an experimental exhibition intended to develop a three dimensional representation of the DOCAM 2014 participants’ spoken presentations. During the installation process, it was evident that the Instantiation resembled a current trend in the museum profession known as “The Pop-Up Museum.” An evaluation of the Instantiation in the context of the Pop-Up Museum uncovered a similar core objective, the ability to create meaningful conversations centered around the participants’ documents on display. This objective was supported by participants’ responses to follow-up questions about their …

What Do Students Learn From Participation In An Undergraduate Research Journal? Results Of An Assessment, Sharon A. Weiner Aug 2014

What Do Students Learn From Participation In An Undergraduate Research Journal? Results Of An Assessment, Sharon A. Weiner

Libraries Faculty and Staff Presentations

Like an increasing number of academic libraries, Purdue University Libraries provides publishing support services to the Purdue community. In 2009, Purdue University Press had recently been moved into the Libraries, and there was enthusiasm about exploring new relationships which could combine the publishing skills of the Press with use of Purdue e-Pubs, the institutional repository platform that also featured powerful publishing features. Publishing an undergraduate research journal was particularly appealing because it connected the scholarly communication program of the Libraries with strategic goals around information literacy. There is evidence that undergraduate students benefit from engaging in research experiences, and writing …

Assessment Of Library Instruction On Undergraduate Student Success In A Documents-Based Research Course: The Benefits Of Librarian, Archivist, And Faculty Collaboration, Paul Victor Jr., Justin Otto, Charles Mutschler

Collaborative Librarianship

This article discusses a successful collaboration between multiple subject specialist librarians, the University Archivist and a faculty member teaching an undergraduate course in documents-based social science research. This collaborative partnership allowed for each subject specialist to expose students to specific information literacy skills they needed to be successful in their class. The authors used pre- and postassessments to gauge student comfort level in conducting library research, as well as a rubric to assess the annotated bibliography of a student’s final research paper. The data from these assessment tools are analyzed and the results discussed. The data indicates that students benefited …

Guest Editorial: Partnerships And Collaborations In Tough Times, Joan Frye Williams, George Needham

Collaborative Librarianship

We don’t need to tell anyone that these are tough times for libraries and library workers. And sometimes it feels natural to just try to hunker down and wait it out, like we might cocoon through a blizzard.

Connecting Researchers With Funding Opportunities: A Joint Effort Of The Libraries And The University Research Office, Leslie M. Delserone, Julie A. Kelly, Jody L. Kempf

Collaborative Librarianship

In early 2007, staff from the University of Minnesota Libraries and the Office of the Vice President for Research began a collaboration to present a workshop covering grant resources. The session introduced faculty, staff, and graduate students to four key databases of external granting opportunities as well as intramural funding sources. We explain the context, development, and implementation of this ongoing, popular workshop; mention extensions of the workshop effort; and hope to inspire fellow librarians to identify and explore routes to broad institutional engagement.

Lyrasis: A Collaborative Success Story, Kathy Anderson

Collaborative Librarianship

As LYRASIS ends its groundbreaking first year, we conducted in-depth personal interviews with the library pioneers and change agents who participated in the creation of the nation’s largest membership organization serving libraries and information professionals, formed from legacy organizations in the Mid-Atlantic region (PALINET), the Southeastern region (SOLINET), and the New England region (NELINET). LYRASIS was a watershed in library collaboration, unprecedented in scale and with far-reaching industry implications.


Student Affairs Connection: Promoting The Library Through Co-Curricular Activities, Kathryn M. Crowe Jan 2010

Student Affairs Connection: Promoting The Library Through Co-Curricular Activities, Kathryn M. Crowe

Collaborative Librarianship

Librarians at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) University Libraries developed the “Student Affairs Connection” program in order to market the Libraries to students in co-curricular settings and to collaborate more closely with the Student Affairs Division. The program also provides the opportunity to seek student input on Libraries’ services and resources and to communicate directly with them in a variety of ways. The program has multiple facets: a liaison program where librarians are assigned to specific student organizations and services such as Student Government and Residence Life, a Student Libraries Advisory Council (SLAC) representing diverse groups of …

Escaping The Island Of Lost Faculty: Collaboration As A Means Of Visibility, Anthony J. Fonseca, Van P. Viator Jan 2009

Escaping The Island Of Lost Faculty: Collaboration As A Means Of Visibility, Anthony J. Fonseca, Van P. Viator

Collaborative Librarianship

Academic librarians are often physically and intellectually isolated at their institutions, and they need to accept much of the blame. Professional literature shows that librarians continue to argue against the responsibilities of tenure, despite the fact that in two of the three usual rubrics of tenure and promotion—namely publication and service—the expectations for both teaching faculty and librarians are generally the same. In addition, academic librarians will not be treated equally unless they begin to think and work outside of the physical academic library. This article argues for a multidisciplinary approach to academic librarianship, with an emphasis on collaboration as …

Collaboration Matters, Nicole C. Engard

Collaborative Librarianship

During the last year I have been working with an amazing group of librarians/writers on a book entitled Library Mashups: Exploring New Ways to Deliver Library Data [http://mashups.web2learning.net]. I mention this not as an advertisement (although it is nice to have some free advertising), but because it has been a fantastic collaborative learning experience for me.

Collaboration The Open Source Way, Nicole C. Engard

Collaborative Librarianship

As you may already know, I am extremely active in the open source community. I recently was given the opportunity to work for not one, but two amazing library open source support companies at the same time. These two companies, ByWater Solutions (http://bywatersolutions.com) and BibLibre (http://biblibre.com) decided to have me work in collaboration with the two of them simply because that’s what open source is all about – collaboration.

Collaborative Librarianship

Long road trips I find very appealing. They give me the opportunity to enjoy amazing landscape vistas and the chance to ponder the great and small questions of life. I also take these opportunities to listen to some pretty engaging books on CD.
