This poster describes the UL Reading Lists project that the library undertook to enhance student literacy and improve the library's teaching collections. The poster was presented at the Academic and Special Libraries conference in Dublin in 2019.
This presentation discusses open access, institutional repositories, and altmetrics. Open access refers to freely available research online. Institutional repositories allow researchers to self-archive publications, increasing their visibility and impact. Altmetrics are new metrics that measure attention research receives online through social media and other platforms, providing a more comprehensive view of scholarly impact. The presentation encourages researchers to communicate work online and include digital object identifiers to help capture altmetrics.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Fintan Bracken on assessing and maximizing research impact. The presentation defined research impact, outlined methods for measuring impact including bibliometrics, altmetrics and peer review, and provided tips for researchers to increase the visibility and uptake of their work such as publishing in high impact journals, collaboration, open access publishing and use of online profiles and social media. Maximizing impact requires strategic dissemination of research as well as clear identification of authored works.
The document discusses a project at a university library called "Every Seat Counts" which aimed to address the problem of students reserving library seats by leaving personal items on desks when not in use. Observational studies found that a third of students who entered the library in the mornings left within an hour, while many seats remained occupied by unattended belongings. The library implemented patrols by student monitors to remove unattended items after 45 minutes, placing them in a collection box. Surveys found students supported the new policy as it increased seat availability during peak periods. The project helped enforce an existing rule while maintaining a welcoming environment.
This poster describes an innovation put in place at the University of Limerick’s Glucksman Library to counter the student practice of reserving library desks.
This single site study used mixed methods to explore the phenomenon of students reserving library seats, and to measure the impact and effectiveness of an intervention put in place to alleviate the space constraints caused by the practice. The data from focus groups and surveys provides an understanding of the problem before and after the intervention.
The desk clearing initiative described in this study was successful in reducing the practice of seat reserving and thus increasing the availability of seats for use. This research gives library managers practical advice about how to tackle the problem of seat reserving in libraries.

This document discusses developing digital skills training and resources at the Glucksman Library. It outlines how the Technical Services Department has expanded its role to take on new digital services like digitization, metadata creation, and digital preservation. Training programs through organizations like the National Forum for Teaching and Learning and All Aboard help library staff learn skills for working with digital files, systems like Islandora and DSpace, and technologies like XML and HTML/PHP. The library aims to provide these new digital services and encourage students and staff to improve their own digital skills through initiatives like the T1 Step collaboration.
The document discusses repurposing children's literacy games as reflective tools for graduate students. It summarizes Peter Reilly's presentation at the IGBL Conference at Trinity College Dublin on September 2nd 2016. The presentation explores using games to help graduate students develop critical self-awareness and identify their preferred learning styles based on Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. It also outlines Sternberg's five-step process for creativity and strategies for developing motivation and challenging conventions.
The document outlines an agenda for the LILAC Workshop 2016 on creative techniques to engage students. The workshop includes 5 activities to help participants understand creativity. Activity 1 involves forming groups to discuss what creativity means and whether they apply it in their work or teaching. Activity 2 explains creativity as a 5 step process of immersion, incubation, insight, evaluation and elaboration. Activity 3 presents theories of multiple intelligences and learning styles. Activity 4 demonstrates tools for visual thinking and strategy development. Activity 5 explores techniques for improving creativity based on developing motivation, non-conformity and deep subject knowledge. A post-assessment exercise adapts a critical incident questionnaire to gather feedback.

Digital literacy skills will be required for 90% of jobs in the near future across many career fields such as engineering, accounting, nursing, and medicine. Digital literacy is about using technology to change the way one thinks, rather than having an in-depth knowledge of computers. The All Aboard project provides research, feedback, and training on digital skills and digital badges through partnerships between universities.
Liz Dore along with Blaneth McSharry from NUIG presented this at the CONUL Teaching & Learning Seminar at TCD in November 2015. It summarises the work to date on the digital literacy work undertaken by the All Aboard consortium.
Michael Smalle is a librarian at the University of Limerick. Michael works with First Year students in particular, to assist with their transition to University.
This talk was given at an Innovation Day held at Maynooth University in October 2015. It details the many changes that have been undertaken in the provision of frontline services at the University of Limerick's Glucksman Library in the years 2008 to 2015.
The University of Limerick Library outsourced the cataloguing cleanup of over 300,000 records to improve consistency and prepare for uploading records to OCLC. The cleanup standardized formatting, applied authority control and Resource Description and Access enrichment according to the supplier Backstage's program. It took 3 months to load back the cleaned records 5,000 at a time and addressed challenges like location name changes. The benefits included records ready for OCLC, consistent formatting, and improved discovery capabilities.
This document provides creative teaching strategies for deeper student engagement. It recommends combining andragogy and transformative learning theory to hypothesize, analyze, strategize, and evaluate. Creative strategies include visual thinking, solution fluency, and drawing on resources about 21st century skills, digital citizenship, and innovations in deeper learning. The strategies aim to engage students and foster creativity through collaboration, trust, and emotional intelligence.
In the space of 5 years, the library presence in both Maynooth University (formerly NUI Maynooth) and the University of Limerick have been transformed beyond recognition. Many of the most dramatic and successful transformations have been enabled by technology. These changes have varied from the dramatic revolution of the library place harnessing cutting edge audio visual technology, through the transformation of services, via the adoption of targeted technologies. As two relatively small universities in the middle of a national recession, the sustainability of these technologies and their ability to demonstrably enhance our services has been critical. Coupled with this has been the need to consider and avoid the dangers of ‘soft’ techno determinism - where we become seduced by the potential in these technologies and the development of our services becomes influenced by the technology available to us, as opposed to us adopting technology to help us do our job better.
By examining the transformation of the Maynooth and Limerick Library services via the adoption of 4 technologies we will endeavour to show that harnessing these technologies in a considered, strategic manner is not only necessary, but has a positive impact across the service as a whole, including in several unexpected ways.
This document discusses the University of Limerick Library's efforts to prioritize first-year student engagement and success. It outlines the library's student peer advisor program, which provides guidance to new students on using library resources. Evaluations of the program show it helps overwhelmed students navigate the transition to university. The library has also expanded orientations, classes, and open days. Going forward, a new Assistant Librarian role will develop additional initiatives across the university to improve student retention, working with committees and new staff positions focused on the first-year experience. The goal is to provide coherent support through students' academic careers.
The library migrated their subject guides from old portals to LibGuides over 6 months with help from a co-op student. They developed guides for every academic department with common front pages and tabs. This improved the online presence of subject librarians. They have continued maintaining and expanding the guides with the co-op student's manual. The migration to LibGuides 2 was done following Springshare's guidelines to retain customizations. Database assets now simplify updating the A-Z list across guides. Overall, LibGuides 2 is easier to maintain though customization options are more limited than previously.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
