“Animals in human situations” OR “Forest & forestry--Menstruation”: Using Sub...TheILC
This document discusses using subject headings and controlled vocabularies in beginning information literacy instruction. It provides examples of student feedback that found controlled vocabulary searches to be useful for exploring topics and finding relevant materials. The document encourages planning instruction that moves from abstract conceptual ideas to specific hands-on activities and gives thanks to Miami University Libraries and Special Collections for images used.
This document discusses Japanese aesthetic concepts like wabi sabi, yūgen, and their relation to learning. Wabi sabi finds beauty in simplicity and imperfection, and sees everything as constantly changing. It is more a feeling than an idea. Yūgen represents a deep and mysterious awareness of the universe that cannot be described. These concepts suggest learners accept imperfections and focus on process over product, understanding the natural order without harsh judgments.
Students as Knowledge Creators: Metacognition and DiscussionTheILC
This document summarizes a discussion forum assignment for an online undergraduate library skills course. The assignment asks students to reflect on how they gather information, create knowledge, and share knowledge with others. Students are encouraged to think about knowledge creation processes in their work or personal lives. Example situations discussed by students include tweaking recipes and posting them online or sharing experiences from intense jobs in healthcare, the military, or business. The goals of the assignment are to develop students' metacognitive awareness of their own learning and knowledge creation processes and to create an engaging online classroom discussion.
This document discusses incorporating tangible student creation projects into one-shot library instruction sessions. It provides examples of past lessons where students were creators, such as producing research strategy emails, working collaboratively in Google Docs, and completing stations with Word documents. Challenges mentioned include developing new lesson plans that engage students as information creators and ensuring students understand the value of their work.

This document discusses using design thinking to address unique educational challenges. It describes a project where design thinking workshops helped special education teachers identify challenges in their classrooms related to distraction, social skills, space limitations, and attitudes. The teachers then developed strategies to address these problems. The document encourages readers to use design thinking to solve one of their own educational challenges by brainstorming with stakeholders, imagining unforeseen possibilities, and addressing problems in new ways.
The document provides details about the schedule and presentations for the 2016 Innovative Library Classroom conference to be held at Radford University on May 11-12, 2016. The conference will include a pre-conference social event on May 11 with poster sessions presented by librarians from various universities. On May 12, the keynote speaker will be Donna Lanclos who will discuss active learning in libraries and classrooms. Additional presentations will be given throughout the day covering topics such as mindfulness in instruction, iPad-based instruction, qualitative data in online courses, and partnerships between libraries and other campus groups.

This document discusses the partnership between Belk Library and the First-Year Writing program (FYW) at Elon University. It describes how the library instruction coordinator (Patrick) and FYW coordinator (Paula) worked together to develop a collaborative model where the library conducts research sessions within FYW courses. This model increased research assignments in FYW courses and improved student information literacy skills. The partnership functions as a community of practice where faculty share the goal of teaching information literacy and learn from each other through instruction, conversations, and professional development. Looking forward, the community will continue working to improve teaching for information literacy.

Embracing the Hulk: Maintaining Your Instruction Program’s Smashing Success TheILC
The document discusses how an instruction program at the University of Virginia has grown beyond its original capabilities due to an increased workload from more instruction requests, customized classes, and partnerships. It identifies characteristics of an overwhelmed program and provides strategies for managing the increased workload while maintaining staff energy, such as reusing resources, co-teaching, limiting back-to-back classes, and taking time away. Contact information is provided for the authors to discuss managing an instruction program's increased success.
Creating Learner Personas for the Library Classroom TheILC
This document discusses creating learner personas to inform library classroom design. It defines personas as narrative descriptions of student types for whom a class is designed. An example persona named Rebecca is provided. The benefits of personas include combating self-referential design and fostering empathy. Data from the target course and institution can be used to create quantitative and qualitative personas. Several sample personas are described including Jian, Janelle, Anthony, and Bridget to represent different student backgrounds, motivations, and learning styles. Personas are intended to help instructors consider diverse student needs in instructional planning.
Paper, plastic, or neither? This ubiquitous question posed at the checkout aisle was recently examined in a comprehensive consumer study by Edelman Berland. Amidst a trend of grocery bag regulations in some cities and states, ‘reusable’ shopping bags which include non-woven polypropylene and low density polyethylene bags, are often emphasized in legislation as an environmentally friendly alternative to paper and plastic bags. The team conducted this consumer survey to determine how often consumers reuse their ‘reusable’ bags and also find out which bag consumers ultimately pick for groceries.
This 3 word document promotes something that is simple, effective and affordable. It conveys that whatever is being discussed should have key qualities of being easy to understand and implement, producing desired results, and costing little to obtain or use.
