Westminster & Wai: a library and literacy projectG.G. Jadhav LibraryWith the staff of the G.G. Jadhav Library

G.G. Jadhav Library Children’s areaThe Library building is the former home of the founder- donated to the community.

Dr. Ashokrao Joshi is the CEO of a Salt Lake City tech firm with family from the village of Wai. He’s so well thought of in the village that a local school had billboards made to honor him on his birthday.

TeachersSchool Building & Classroom

The village is full of examples of both richness and poverty.There is no state financial support for public or school libraries.

The staff and volunteers at the Jadhav Library & their families have become great friends.

Harry Potter in MarathiThe G.G. Jadhav Library has about 2000 children’s books- we’re helping to build that collection.

Students held a benefit dinner with silent auction, a bake sale and a used book sale in the library with donated items that were not a good fit for our collection.

Fall Enrollment = 25,794 UndergraduatesFirst Time Freshmen = 5,095

Components of a Freshman Seminar Course

The librarian perspective on students…

Course Objectives“efficiently locate resources”“Information literacy skills ““evaluate sources and search processes ““determine which sources are most credible and relevant for the information need”“use information in an ethical and legal manner”“effectively use information “

What we learned from a faculty perspective

So where do our faculty see the library fitting into the freshman experience?

We gained a whole new perspective on the needs of our students

Prioritizing the needs of students navigating college for the first time

Figuring out the library’s place in the academic routine

What did we really give our students? What they needed ≠ What we thought they needed

When we asked our students to demonstrate what they learned…

Time to take another look at the course objectives

Biggest impact?“Time management assignment helped because I never really thought about my day before I wrote it down”“Organization has kept me up with my other classes”“I TRIED to start studying 3 hours a day”“The research part helped in Writing Composition a lot.” “The research! The time management! And the library resources. So many!”“Stuff on personality/learning styles”

Figuring out where the library fits for our new freshmen

Learning from our mistakesDesigning a new class for the fall

Library = Place Library = Services Library = When students need us

Librarian As Writing Ambassador: Finding the Path from the Library to KnowledgeCaitlin A. BagleyMurray State University

Waterfield LibraryMurray State University is located in Murray, KY.We are a midsize university with just above 10,000 FTE students.

Writing Across the CurriculumGoal is to help students raise their writing skills, university wide across departments.A Math Major should have the same writing skills as an English Major.

Library as Central LocationWaterfield Library hosts two main places for students to get help:Racer Writing CenterReference Desk

Racer Writing CenterThe Writing Center is designed for one-on-one consultation.Only 3-4 consultants at any time.

Reference DeskTraditional roles also apply, but when students bring their papers to the desk, we encourage and help them with what we can before we pass them on to the Writing Center.

MissionThe library’s mission is to serve as the Intellectual Commons of the University. WAC’s mission is to “believe that writing and writing instruction should occur across the university curriculum and throughout a student’s education.”The two concepts work together seamlessly.

WAC WebsiteThe library helped design the WAC website, and how they didn’t want to be reliant on Purdue OWL.We first had initial debate over whether the site should be for students or faculty.

The Internet – The Great Equalizer?We try to teach students to learn how to swim through the good & bad, taking only the good with them.WAC is in the beginning stages of creating their own website.Currently exists as a help link of style guides and writing examples.

First Semester ResultsNumber of clients: 154Number of sessions: 377Most students fell into one of the following three colleges:BusinessHumanities & Fine ArtsScience/Engineering/Technology

Second Semester ResultsNumber of clients: 170Number of sessions: 412Again, most students came from the Business school, and the College of Humanities & Fine Arts. Gains in all areas though.

OutreachSpreading the word.Physically, the RWC is a removed area of the library. We have to find ways of making it accessible and noticeable.Mention in all Instruction SessionsHandout bookmarks, pamphlets, etc.Do your own publicity!

Embedded LibrarianshipPublicity only works for so long.Become close w/professors and be added into classes to become go to stops for help.ENG 105 and HIS 400

ENG 105Introductory writing course, mandatory for all students.I try to speak to every section at least once.Some sections I work with in-depth over the semester.

HIS 400This is a combination undergraduate/graduate level course, and so the writing they are expected to turn in is at a higher level.Traditionally, I would teach them research methods. Now I often combine writing techniques in with this.

LOR 101Alongside, regular duties I teach a 3 CR research class with a heavy writing component. This enables me to see the tangible proof of students who actually use the service.

One on One InstructionWhen a student comes to my office looking for help with a paper, we both read the paper together.It is usually helpful to have the student read their paper out loud, word for word, omitting no typos or mistakes.

Oral Communication CenterCurrently we are building an Oral Communication Center that we hope to pair with the RWC, in bringing students a better rounded out experience.
