Editor's Notes
- #4 Why this outline? Why not just ‘here’s the library stuff?’ Because you need to know why you need to use the library….
- #6 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
- #7 CRAAP test = Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose
- #8 Stanley Milgram…setting the stage: social psychology experiment on obedience.
- #9 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)
- #10 Since information has value, we can assume that some is “more valuable” than others. How do we find it?
- #11 What are we talking about here, and where did it come from? On how all these virtual, online resources come from print origins….
- #13 OA – “How much money does the average professor make on a published scholarly article?”
- #14 It’s easy to find an answer. “GIYF” …but it’s a little harder to find good information. This means you need to search broadly—not just a Google search—and search in depth. Examples: Broadly Summon but also research guides, individual databases, library catalog… and Deeply using limit options and Boolean operators. It’s the tension between RECALL and PRECISION. Example: (social media OR facebook OR twitter OR instagram) AND ("social control") …beginning with “social media”
- #15 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
- #16 “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).
