Program Description: In a time of tightening budgets and calls for increased student-centeredness in academia, college libraries need find more concrete ways than traditional library measures to demonstrate their effectiveness. Librarian Jeff Knapp has joined with sociologist Nicholas Rowland, who runs a cohort-based, undergraduate research experience in the social sciences, and is being woven into all activities, from design to implementation, including co-teaching seminar meetings and working closely with lab students.

1. * While the errors are our own, we’d like to thank Dr. LA Wilson for release time to prepare the National Science Foundation grant
proposal that helped to generate this presentation (and others), Dr. Lori Bechtel, Dr. Ken Womack, and Dr. Tim Slekar for their ongoing
support of the Integrated Social Science Research Lab for our undergraduate students, and Dean Barbara Dewey for supporting our
National Science Foundation grant proposal and “letting Jeff play in the sandbox with the rest of us.” These ideas have been presented
at the 2013 PA Forward Information Literacy Summit and Library 2.012, Worldwide Virtual Conference.
