From student to graduate trainee : a user perspective / Liz Antel, Graduate L...CIGScotland
An insight into the user experience of modern library resource discovery. Presented at the CIG Scotland seminar 'Resource Discovery : from catalogues to discovery services' at the National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh, 21st March 2018.
[Prepared for Faculty Development Day 2017 at Lone Star College-University Park.] Students often get lost in research assignments, especially when they try to run with a topic (jumping into specialized searches) before they can walk (gathering background information). This session will look at breaking down your research assignments into the research process. Credo Reference will be highlighted as resources to support the pre-research phase.
Against Instinct: Choosing Discovery & Making it WorkLisa Ancelet
Three universities will discuss assessment of discovery systems. Texas State University-San Marcos believed a discovery tool wouldn’t offer value beyond existing cross-platform searching tools. After two years of testing, we changed our minds and learned many lessons. We will present strategies and recommendations for conducting usability testing and surveys, testing and customizing interfaces, and post-implementation management. Florida International University and the University of North Florida have both implemented or trialed discovery systems in the past year and have been working on strategies to assess these systems. We will share what we have done so far, and then would like to open the floor to see what assessments attendees have planned or performed.
Created as an orientation to library research for our IUON nursing students, this presentation provides a preliminary overview to the types of information resources available to them; as well as a brief introduction to searching for medical information with a focus on nursing.

Discovery is a key component of a library's services, and user expectations are high. Even if a web-scale discovery system isn't in the cards, there is plenty a library can do to improve discovery for their users. Librarians at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville have been engaged in an ongoing discovery improvement project encompassing the website, catalog, database lists and more, all based on extensive user feedback. The presenters will share successful strategies for evaluating and improving discovery, no expensive software or programming skills necessary.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

23. Catalogue Practice
• Go to the Library Catalogue. Do a keyword search on
narrative inquiry. Now do a keyword search on “narrative
inquiry.” Why is there a difference in results?
• Do the same search in Super Search
• What changes?
24. Click on Education to
see a list of databases
for that subject area.
Click on Research,
then Databases.
28. • Looks for full text in other locations (Does not guarantee
full text).

the Quick Search toolbar
OR set up Library Links in
Settings
• Why use Google
Scholar?

particular article/book

authors/researchers are
• Watch: Get Better Results
with Google Scholar
30. Database Practice
• Find the Education databases.
• Select Education Research Complete.
• Search “international students.” How are the results
arranged? How can you limit your results to peer
reviewed journal articles?
31. More Search Tips
• Use quotation marks for phrases
• “grounded theory”; “educational leadership”
• Use * to search for alternate endings
• Canad* = Canada, Canadian, etc.; reflect* = reflect, reflection, reflective, etc.
• Use synonyms
• Teenager, adolescent, adolescence, teens, etc.
• Too many results?
• Use limits (peer-reviewed, date, language, etc.)
• Add additional keywords; get more specific
• Too few results?
• Remove one or more keywords
• Go broader (e.g. search Canada instead of Ontario)
