Cost Per User
The document discusses analyzing EZProxy logs to understand library resource usage at the user level and calculate a cost per user. It describes how EZProxy logs can be matched to student data to attribute usage to individual users. Calculating cost per user provides insights not available from typical usage statistics like most-used resources, heaviest users, and subject areas of use. The analysis can reveal which user groups use which resources, how resource use relates to student attributes like class standing and GPA, and the return on investment for individual subscriptions. A live demonstration shows interactive visualizations of usage data. Analyzing this granular level of usage data helps libraries understand user behaviors and the value of resources.

Why can't students get the resources they need results from a real availabili...
Availability studies estimate the proportion of items in a collection that library users can access. This traditional research method can help librarians find and fix the most significant access problems with electronic resources, and connect patrons with information through better collection development and acquisitions decisions.
To date, all electronic resource availability studies have been "simulated" studies, in which a librarian tests access to a sample of items. Simulated availability studies identify technical problems with electronic resources, but don't address how database interface design or insufficient library research skills could prevent a student from successfully obtaining a desired item.
This study represents the first known attempt at a "real" electronic resource availability study, in which recruited students generate and test the sample. It uses quantitative methods to estimate overall resource availability, and a cognitive walkthrough (a usability research method) to compare the way Redlands students actually retrieve full text against an ideal process articulated by Redlands librarians.
The study's conclusions can be used to benchmark studies of e-resource availability at other campuses, provide input into database interface design and improve library instruction concerning electronic resources.

The document describes a project to create a student network called Student Ambassadors for Digital Literacy (SADL) at the London School of Economics. The project aimed to explore how digital and information literacy skills could be embedded into the curriculum by training student ambassadors. Student ambassadors participated in workshops on topics like finding and evaluating information, managing their digital footprint, and were recruited from the departments of Social Policy and Statistics. Data collected found that students had varying skills depending on their discipline and that peer support was a valuable role for ambassadors to help others develop research skills. Lessons learned included the need for clear role expectations for ambassadors and developing relationships takes time.

Measuring Library Impact at DBS
Academic libraries need new methods of demonstrating their value to their institutions and their patrons. One potential method is to investigate a link between library usage and student attainment. This presentation describes some work undertaken in DBS library looking at the possible effect of a number of library usage criteria on the final exam grade achieved by final year degree students. A correlation was found between final exam grade library borrowing, off-campus resource usage & printing from Moodle and final exam grade. In addition, mandatory attendance at a information skills class increased library borrowing and off-campus electronic resource usage. This leads to the supposition that information literacy instruction may drive better exam results.
Dbs lorls gary brewerton presentation
The document discusses the development of the Loughborough Online Reading List System (LORLS) to address issues with traditional printed reading lists. LORLS allows academics to create and maintain online reading lists, notifies librarians of changes, and enables students to search for and view reading lists along with library holdings. The system was later made open-source and its use has expanded to other institutions, including Dublin Business School. While the software provides benefits, successful implementation also requires integrating it into workflows, advocacy efforts, training, and ongoing monitoring.
Assignment planner and reference tracking
This document discusses using reference transaction analysis to assess and improve academic library reference services. It recommends that libraries track reference interactions to understand patron needs and questions, identify traffic patterns, and assess staff time and knowledge used. This can help libraries plan staffing, tailor instruction, and market services effectively. The document outlines setting up a tracking system and addressing challenges like staff buy-in and consistency. The goal is providing timely reference help with limited resources.
The role of the librarian in measuring research impact
In recent years there has been a greater emphasis by research councils, and other bodies, on measuring the impact of research. This presentation examines the different ways in which impact can be measured and discusses the advantages and disadvantages impact measures such as citation analysis, bibliometrics and altmetrics. The role of the librarian in the assessment of impact factor is also discussed.
Librarian as publisher
Alex and Conor introduce SAH Journal (sahjournal.com) as an open access academic journal project involving the collaborative efforts of emerging and established scholars as well as academic librarians. Conor explains the benefits of collaborating with research librarians through publishing. Alex asserts that librarians (libraries) are perfectly positioned to enter into direct competition with established commercial journal publishers. He explains the mechanics of electronic publishing from conceptional planning to implementation via, in this instance, Open Journal Systems (OJS).
The benefits of cross-institutional collaboration
This presentation discusses inter-institutional collaboration in the Higher Education sector in Ireland with a particular focus on academic library collaborative initiatives and networks. It begins by asking ‘what is collaboration’? and where collaboration sits within a continuum of partnership. It highlights that true collaboration requires invested parties to relinquish a certain degree of autonomy in order to achieve a common goal. Key collaborative networks and initiatives within the sector are listed with a particular focus on the history of collaboration between academic libraries. Collaboration between private higher education institutions is discussed with particular emphasis on perceived barriers and changes that are bringing about increased collaboration. Cooperative and collaborative exchanges between DBS and NCI are also discussed as well as opportunities for future collaborative projects.
Research Services at DBS Library
Marie O' Neill explores the expansion of DBS Library's research support services. She discusses key developments during this process including the production of a research development plan, the establishment of a research librarian post, the setting up of an institutional repository and the recent acquisition of Ebsco's Plumx software. The presentation also discusses the impetus, challenges and benefits of this expansion.
High School to College: Preparing for College Research
This document discusses preparing high school students for college-level research. It begins by noting a gap between what high school teachers expect students to know and what college professors expect. The workshop aims to discuss Common Core standards, college research expectations, and strategies to improve high school student research readiness. It outlines faculty research assignment expectations and national ACRL standards. While students are proficient with everyday online research, they struggle with academic research skills like evaluating sources and citing properly. The document suggests long-term and short-term classroom activities as well as collaborating with school librarians to better prepare students before college.

This document discusses a research project exploring communities of practice around information literacy among faculty at York St. John University. The research aims to understand differing conceptions of information literacy, establish if critical approaches are already part of teaching practices, examine how faculty experience and evaluate information literacy, and create a platform for information literacy dialogue. It reviews relevant literature on communities of practice and social learning approaches. Initial pilot interviews provided evidence that faculty have information literacy concerns and values embedded in their teaching, with one faculty more aligned with emerging critical approaches and one with traditional skills models.

New Spaces of Belonging: ePortfolios, Community and Digital Placemaking Brian...ePortfolios Australia
This document discusses the concepts of space, place and belonging in relation to ePortfolios. It argues that ePortfolios can be reimagined as permeable, flexible spaces that foster placemaking and belonging. When designed to give students ownership, control and agency, ePortfolios have the potential to become safe places where students can engage in self-authored learning and knowledge production. However, ePortfolio spaces are often constrained and act as anti-belonging environments due to issues like surveillance, limited access and lack of student control. The document proposes rethinking ePortfolio design through the lens of space and place to create environments that facilitate belonging, flexibility and student-driven inquiry.The Human Element: An Essential Online Course Component
The document summarizes research presented at the Sloan-C Emerging Technologies Conference on April 9th about using a MOOC to teach the Community of Inquiry framework. It discusses the importance of the human element and social presence in online courses. It provides information on course structure, participation rates, learner demographics, the role of the instructor, and how tools like blogs, videos and social media can enhance cognitive and social presence. The goal is to understand how to design online activities and discussions to engage learners and facilitate a community of inquiry.

The document proposes a multi-layer map model to improve self-directed learning through resource organization and community-based learning on the web. It describes difficulties in locating suitable resources and navigating large amounts of information. The model visualizes common learning behaviors like resource location, categorization, and sharing. It was developed into a system allowing learners to easily find resources, organize them into personal topic maps, and share with a community topic map merging all personal maps. A case study found learners could locate resources faster, organize more meaningfully, and collect community resources more easily.

This study aims to uncover the assumptions that the way in which quantitative research and qualitative research are conventionally contrasted with each other runs along familiar lines and to identify how they are rooted in our underlying preconceptions about the perceptual process itself. It outlines a new platform upon which the distinction between quantitative and qualitative research can be established and which links the latter with semiotics. The way of distinguishing the two methodologies is rotted in quantitatively determined beliefs about human experience.

Numerous studies have provided evidence that interracial interaction can contribute to the development of leadership skills and behaviors for university students. Yet, little empirical research has been dedicated to understanding the effects of structural (compositional) racial diversity within leadership programs on program participant outcomes. This study examined the impact of the structural racial diversity of 50 leadership program sessions on student leadership capacity gains over time. A total of 667 participants in sessions coded as either "High," "Moderate," or "Low" with regard to racial diversity within the session served as the sample. Results from data collected immediately prior to, directly after, and 3-4 months after program participation suggest the training effects of a leadership initiative may be augmented by the recruitment of racially diverse participants.

The document provides a reflection on a portfolio module focused on e-learning. It discusses the author's expectations for the module, issues with the module design, struggles engaging with directed tasks and research, insights gained from the structured research, and opportunities to improve collaborative elements and make resources more openly accessible. The author felt the module provided a useful framework for developing an understanding of e-learning but that some tasks seemed tokenistic and that the resources could be better shared to build a wider learning community.

This document provides an overview of a seminar on reading list management software given by Marie O'Neill, Head of Library Services at Dublin Business School, and Gary Brewerton, Systems Librarian at Loughborough University. The seminar discussed why reading lists are still important, DBS's requirements for online reading list software, and how LORLS (Loughborough Online Reading List System) was selected and implemented at DBS. Key points included that reading lists are still important for student learning and collection development, LORLS matched DBS's criteria and was selected due to its open source nature and functionality. Future plans for LORLS at DBS include populating it with existing reading lists, customizing it, training
The opportunities and challenges of hosting on the cloud
The idea of the presentation is to present at a high level the benefits and pitfalls of using Cloud Computing within a Library setting. As budgets within libraries are becoming further squeezed, more and more of the daily operations are either being automated or migrated to the cloud. The benefits are clear, the potential for hassle free computing, cheaper to run, easier to scale, the provision of test environments, reliable archiving functions, open source software, etc.. However there are large potential pitfalls that need to be avoided, regarding governance issues, security, data protection and retention, licensing, potential for vendor-lock in, etc.. These all need to be understood before an informed decision can be made re migration to the Cloud, in the hope of avoiding Gartner’s “trough of disillusionment”.
