Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

This article emphasizes high-impact practices in the archives and encourages instructors and archivists to use prolonged collaboration as a way to teach digital learners analog thinking. The digital and physical exhibits we discuss were designed to model liberal arts thinking and curate experiential learning opportunities that led students to make connections between artifacts and lived experiences. Our case study focuses on one course developed with sustained archival interaction, which demonstrates an effective use of archives for promoting active learning through direct engagement with primary source materials in a liberal arts environment and thereby serves as an example of partnership for …

A Historian And A Sociologist Walk Into A Bar: A Data Archive For Social Sciences And Digital Humanities Hosted At A National Archives Institution, Benjamin Peuch, Oliver Lenaerts, Rolande Depoortere, Johan Van Der Eycken, Youssef Ouahalou

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

In October 2020, a new service was launched at the State Archives of Belgium, the Social Sciences and Digital Humanities Archive (SODHA). It is the result of several years of feasibility research into the viability of a data archive for social sciences and digital humanities in the research landscape of Belgium. SODHA acts as a service provider for the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archive (CESSDA ERIC) and takes up the task of preserving and disseminating research data in any of the disciplines that constitute the aforementioned fields.

SODHA is a latecomer compared to other similar organizations in Europe …

Enhancing Access Using Third Iron’S Libkey Nomad, Alicia Ikerd, Victoria Peters

Library Faculty Publications

This presentation describes how a liberal arts college’s academic library used Third Iron’s LibKey Nomad++ tool in order to connect their campus constituents to library subscribed resources from anywhere across the web. This presentation highlights some challenges specific to implementing domain messaging to appear across DePauw University’s resources, how we determined what resources to highlight, and how we have imported Third Iron’s usage data into SpringShare’s LibInsight in order to have a dashboard view of product impressions and clicks. The presentation also identifies ways that the usage statistics were incorporated into a dataset, and it describes methods applied as well …

Exploring Bias Filters As A Source Evaluation Tool, Mandi Goodsett, Ben Richards, David N. Rapp

Michael Schwartz Library Publications

Today's complex, algorithmically-driven information landscape can be difficult to navigate. While media literacy skills are important for negotiating this complexity, a pedagogical focus on misinformation and fact-checking can have the unintended effect of increasing already widespread cynicism, including among young people. In this exploratory study, we introduced college students to a new pedagogical concept: bias filters. Bias filters are aspects of the information creation process that help to reduce bias in the final product. The findings suggest that bias filters have considerable promise as an instructional tool, encouraging students to approach information sources with a more nuanced, less cynical perspective. …

Listening, Partnering, Designing: Smu Libraries’ Journey Towards Human-Centered Wellness, Vincent Ong, Devika Sangaram, Zhenyan Li

Research Collection Library

As student wellness emerges as one of the most pressing concerns facing academic institutions today, libraries are uniquely and powerfully positioned to reimagine their spaces and services as holistic, human-centered environments that nurture the whole person. This paper presents three initiatives by the Singapore Management University (SMU) Libraries that embody this vision, collectively affirming the library's evolving role as a human-centered wellness hub and its commitment to actively shaping a more inclusive and people-first future.

The first initiative repurposed a vacated collection space into a wellbeing-centered quiet study environment, incorporating user experience (UX) design principles and longitudinal survey evidence, to …

User-First Approach To Designing A Library Ai Chatbot, Samantha Seah, Zhenyan Li

Research Collection Library

At SMU Libraries, after a year of experimentation, user testing, and preparation, we have just launched an AI-assisted chatbot to handle Tier 1 questions – will the library be open this weekend, where can I find printers, what workshops does the library offer, etc. While this can be thought of as a technology-forward project, we hope to illustrate how the human elements were essential to elevate the project. Throughout this journey, while learning the ins and outs of new technologies, we placed more emphasis on user-centred service design and we will show how other libraries can do so as well. …

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

When we began our term as Coeditors of the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR), on July 1, 2023, we implemented JMR's Research Transparency Policy (https://www.ama.org/journal-of-marketing-research-policy-for-research-transparency/). In this editorial, we will share some of our insights from implementing the policy over the past three years, provide examples and references for authors who use a range of methods in their research, and highlight the benefits of taking a collaborative approach to research transparency.JMR's Research Transparency Policy requires authors to submit their data, code, and methodological materials to JMR's collection on Harvard’s Dataverse (or follow an Alternative Disclosure Plan) after conditional acceptance.
