Editor's Notes
- Why this outline? Why not just ‘here’s the library stuff?’ Because you need to know why you need to use the library….
- Exercise – divide class into four groups: come up with a list of different ways you use information in a day: games, music, phone calls, texts, social media, etc. Take 7 minutes; report back. Google (gun violence - .org .edu .gov) … excerpt from The Social Dilemma…Wikipedia
- Stanley Milgram…setting the stage: social psychology experiment on obedience.
- all information has value… Google (guns) YouTube (My Sweet Lord [Guardians of…], He’s So Fine) “Define ‘muggle’…” – Canvas module on “citing and plagiarism” Rowling v. Vander Ark (information has value – intellectual property)
- OA – “How much money does the average professor make on a published scholarly article?”
- OA – “How much money does the average professor make on a published scholarly article?”
- Brief history of the library as a physical facility, then— “…for books and other media” = Catalog (Summon) “…for scholarly journal articles” = Databases, Summon …be sure to mention ‘keyword’ vs. ‘subject’ searching! “…and for help!” = Research Guides, Chat
- “And the library can help you do that.” Books and other media (in our catalog); articles, ebooks, and streaming content (Summon), and librarian assistance (Chat widget, Research Help).
