Towards an Information Literacy Continuum: examining the high school to colle...Chris Sweet
We know that many students have difficulties meeting faculty expectations for college-level research. Basic search strategies, critical thinking and evaluation skills are often lacking. Increased dialogue between academic librarians, school librarians and teaching faculty could begin to address some of these problems in a proactive manner. This presentation is a small step in that direction. Chris Sweet, Information Literacy Librarian at Illinois Wesleyan University, will introduce this topic from an academic librarian’s perspective. Dana Convery, English and Literature instructor at Prairie Central High School, will discuss high school research from the trenches. What research skills are being taught in the classroom? What role do Illinois Learning Standards play? What barriers are holding high school teachers and librarians back? Finally, an Illinois Wesleyan student will give us insights on his/her personal transition from high school to college researcher.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

“…I had to change my teaching,”
said one professor.
5. Professors and faculty influence their students to use the
library; if they do not mention it, then students do not use it.
Students lack knowledge of library resources and services;
this usually comes later in their course of study.
Students possess varied abilities and comfort levels with
using the library, doing research and also with using
technology.
Students rely on the Internet for information and are more
likely to use Google instead of library resources.
◦ If something isn’t available online, it’s ignored.
◦ Some studies suggest that despite instruction on scholarly research,
students avoid using library tools because of their difficulty.
6. Level and scope of degree
◦ Ph.D/ Ed.D, Masters Level, or Certificate /
Credentials
Type of Enrollment
◦ Full-Time, Part-Time, or Accelerated
Subject area and discipline research methods
◦ Lab-based, field work, literature reviews, case law,
etc.
Overall program environment
◦ Formal/informal; Competitive/Cooperative;
Supportive/”Survival of the Fittest”
7. Basic knowledge of and confidence in subject area
resources.
Active relationships with faculty liaisons.
Knowledge and application of andragogy.
Flexible communication skills: asking questions,
listening, cultural/gender norms.
Technological expertise to recommend (or “sell”)
library tools and resources to students and faculty
alike; helps with assisting in times of need.
Advising on search strategies, vocabulary, and other
resources; leave the topic development and
refinement to the professor who is a subject expert.
8. Library catalog and local services most used by graduate
students (interlibrary loan, consultations, etc.)
Multidisciplinary databases (ProQuest Central, Academic Search
Premier) are not sufficient resources for a comprehensive
graduate-level literature review.
Introduce and demonstrate subject-area databases and Web of
Science or other citation databases.
Additional information sources: WorldCat, SUL Union Catalog,
dissertation databases (ProQuest & WorldCat), controlled
vocabulary sources (MeSH, CINAHL headings, thesauri)
Bibliographic management software (RefWorks, EndNote)
9. Advise students to identify and read literature
reviews by others within their subject area;
approach the literature toward finding something
new.
Ask questions that could help the student discover
his or her own refinements.
Subject and research areas are becoming
increasingly multidisciplinary; suggest related areas
and resources as needed.
Suggest to researcher that consultation with the
faculty adviser might be the next step in the
process.
10. The Purpose of the Literature Review:
Set the background on what has been researched
on a topic.
Show why a topic is significant to a subject area.
Discover relationships between ideas.
Identify major themes & concepts.
Identify critical gaps & points of disagreement.
Help the researcher turn a network of articles into a
coherent view of the literature.

Editor's Notes
Numbers largely depend on when programs (and universities) were incorporated, and also their teaching/research emphases. Source: Florida Board of Governors: http://www.flbog.edu/resources/iud/enrollment_search.php
“… I had to change my teaching” – an FAU professor of education remarked that over the years, the students in his courses went from being mostly male to being increasingly female and diverse.
Lends to library/ research anxiety.
I was in a grad-level program in teaching where it was def. survival of the fittest. Yet now I work with a program where students and professors keep in touch with each other on many levels.
Faculty liaisons: also a source of mentoring and subject-area support. Advise students to identify and read literature reviews by others within their subject area.
For instance, a topic in education might also have sociological and psychological underpinnings.
The lit review is not an annotated bibliography or a laundry list of articles. It integrates and synthesizes what is found into something new.
