Open literacy & the problem of access refusal
Presentation at WILU, MacEwan University, Edmonton, AB.
Abstract: The swift evolution of Open Access (OA) publishing of scholarly works has been driven by researchers and librarians who recognize the societal benefits of these resources being freely available on the Internet. Especially in fields relevant to Science, Technology and Medicine, high quality OA content can benefit people conducting both personal and professional research anywhere in the world. These resources can prove exceptionally valuable to students whose access to scholarly research materials may be limited by costly journal subscriptions both while they are in school and long after they have graduated. This presentation will draw on findings from an exploratory research study that involved a survey sent to academic librarians across Canada questioning the degree to which they are educating students about Open Access research materials and their motivations for and against doing so. Based on participants’ responses, suggested teaching strategies and promotional initiatives will be shared with session attendees. Information literacy teaching methods discussed aim to foster a broader understanding of Open resources and overall scholarly publishing processes among students developing critical and sustainable researching skills.
Connecting with first-year students: Online and in-person
Presentation given at OLA Super Conference 2015 by Evelyn Smith, Jennifer Thiessen and Elizabeth Yates, Brock University.
Writing Center And Library Collaboration
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for collaboration between a college library and writing center. It describes how they have started to work together through shared instruction sessions and cross-training of staff. However, barriers like budgets, organizational structures, and perceptions of roles have prevented deeper collaboration. The document proposes identifying ways that students already circumvent traditional service models and finding new partner departments to bust silos. Stronger collaboration could help address student needs and lay the groundwork for a future joint learning commons space.
Connecting with First Year Students: Online and In-Person
This document summarizes several initiatives at Brock University aimed at connecting with first-year students. It describes a Personal Librarian pilot program that assigned 191 first-year health sciences students a librarian for personalized support. It also discusses embedding online research modules called Advantage Plus in courses and promoting library services at a Smart Start orientation event that engaged over 4000 students. The programs helped increase awareness of library resources and student use of services.

The webinar demonstrated features of the Guide and encouraged librarians to get involved by contributing notes, becoming editors, or subscribing their libraries.
Sarah Pittaway: Not just "the help" library service as professional colleagues
Sarah Pittaway: Not just "the help" library service as professional colleagues Relationship Management in HE Libraries Group
This document discusses the importance of viewing library services staff as professional colleagues rather than "the help." It notes that librarians' roles involve more than just answering questions, as they also ask questions, teach, advocate, write, and influence strategy. The document argues that viewing library staff as merely helpful risks disrespecting their time and expertise. It suggests that establishing library staff as professionals committed to learning, pedagogical research, and leadership can help change perceptions of them as support staff rather than professionals.‘The postgraduate research student’s user experience (UX): How can libraries ...
The document summarizes a research project that examined how postgraduate research students at Loughborough University develop their research skills. The project involved surveys and diaries completed by students over 8 months. It found that students develop skills through a variety of routes, including workshops, supervisors, and peers. Many skills are developed before starting a PhD. The project highlighted opportunities to better support students through signposting of library services, embedding good research practices earlier, and facilitating peer knowledge sharing.

The document discusses strategies for converting in-person library instruction sessions to online formats. It suggests focusing online sessions on the most important learning objectives and engaging activities while removing less essential content. Supplemental materials and pre-recorded videos can provide instruction on technical skills. Effective online sessions require clear directions, assessments of student work, and efforts to minimize technical problems and build engagement through surveys and personalized connections. Examples demonstrate reworking a request for instruction to focus on evaluating information sources rather than search mechanics. The goal is to thoughtfully adapt high-quality in-person teaching to sustainable virtual environments.

The document summarizes a study conducted by Taylor & Francis Group and Loughborough University that mapped the user experience of 10 postgraduate research students over 8 months. The study aimed to discover how postgraduate researchers find and manage information, identify opportunities to enhance library user experience for postgraduate researchers, and determine how libraries and publishers can improve services and products. Key findings included that Google Scholar is important but library catalogs are also used, reference management with Mendeley is popular, and supervisors and workshops provide skills development but individual research practices vary widely. Both organizations learned areas for improving discoverability, interfaces, and content access.Pre-search to Research: Credo as 'Academic Google'
Howard University librarians Niketha McKenzie, Kimberly Prosper, and Adia Coleman share their strategy for helping students transition from the open web searching they are accustomed to, toward more rigorous, college-level research. They detail how they use Credo to support the concept of pre-search and build familiarity with research databases. By likening Credo to an “Academic Google,” they have been able to gain buy-in from students while demonstrating the value of authoritative resources. Students have reported feeling less frustrated by the research process, and faculty appreciate that the library is providing a guide that helps students perform better.

This document provides information on how to create Affordable Learning Materials (CALM) on a college campus. It discusses starting a CALM program with funding from the Chancellor's Office, developing branding and a website, and piloting CALM in courses. It outlines reaching out to faculty through department meetings and developing partnerships across campus, including with the bookstore, library, and publishers. The program resulted in 40 courses being CALMed, with 32 faculty participating and an estimated total student cost savings of over $180,000. Student feedback was very positive, with most finding the free resources easy to access and of high quality.

The Art of Collection Budgets
For several years, SUNY Potsdam has been struggling to design a better budget allocation model for library collections. In the past, the formula we used for allocating funds seemed to be equitable, but in reality it was not the best approach. Our “New Budget Model” focuses on supporting the research projects assigned to students rather than what librarians and faculty think ought to be in a “good college library”. While the new model continues to be a work in progress, we have learned a lot about faculty perceptions and have had opportunities to share our ideas about the changing nature of academic library collections and services.

Building a Culture of Assessment: What I've Learned from Research, Trial, and...
This document discusses building a culture of assessment in academic libraries. It begins by defining a culture of assessment as one where assessment is a regular part of practice, focused on users and learning, and used for improvement. However, assessment in many institutions is top-down and not integrated into teaching and learning. The author shares their experience with "Coordinator Syndrome" and lack of support for new roles. Studies suggest factors like leadership commitment, staff expertise and time, and evidence-based decision making can facilitate assessment culture. The document advocates applying Kotter's model of organizational change to shift culture through developing urgency, vision, empowering staff and celebrating wins. It notes limitations of relying on survey data to make claims about building assessment culture.
The OER Story
OER has the potential to be a powerful new story in education that provides benefits but also faces challenges. Some key benefits are significant cost savings for students and increased creativity and choice of resources for instructors. However, adopting OER requires a major time investment from instructors to prepare materials and stay current. The story of OER is still unfolding and will take many years to fully develop as more instructors and students contribute their experiences to help address challenges like ensuring all students have adequate technology access.

This document discusses the partnership between Belk Library and the First-Year Writing program (FYW) at Elon University. It describes how the library instruction coordinator (Patrick) and FYW coordinator (Paula) worked together to develop a collaborative model where the library conducts research sessions within FYW courses. This model increased research assignments in FYW courses and improved student information literacy skills. The partnership functions as a community of practice where faculty share the goal of teaching information literacy and learn from each other through instruction, conversations, and professional development. Looking forward, the community will continue working to improve teaching for information literacy.
Oer ppt
The document discusses open educational resources (OER), which are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for anyone to use and adapt. OER can improve access to education by making course materials available online anywhere and reducing textbook costs. They can also improve quality by allowing instructors to reuse existing resources rather than reinventing materials, and giving access to more global courses and resources. Additionally, OER reduce costs to students by providing free or low-cost textbooks and tutoring services. They add variety to classrooms by providing new and creative teaching methods, while also encouraging collaboration between educators. Some challenges to OER include determining the credibility of resources, potential homogenization of knowledge, reluctance of educators to share, non-revoc

This document summarizes Linda Jones' experience developing online referencing and library access resources at the University of Portsmouth. It describes how she identified needs, recruited teams, launched pilots, gathered feedback, expanded the resources, and celebrated their success. The Referencing@Portsmouth database and Body in the Library resource helped reduce student and faculty queries over time. Jones reflects on unexpected benefits like reputation-building and new problem-solving skills gained. She concludes by outlining future information literacy projects and ambitions.
Ocl atl 2013
The document provides an overview of the Open Course Library (OCL) project in Washington State. It discusses preliminary findings from research on the impact of OCL courses on faculty teaching practices. Key findings include that faculty who adopted OCL courses liked the complete course packages and institutional support, while barriers to adoption included courses residing in the ANGEL platform and lack of support. Student perspectives shared that open resources improved learning but could be better organized. The presentation showcases an anthropology course to illustrate student and faculty views on OCL courses.

If Reporters Can Do It, YOU Can Too!
This document discusses embedding librarians in online courses at a small academic library. It describes the library staffing and outlines different levels of embedding support librarians can provide, from basic to full service. Basic support includes linking to library resources from the course site, while full service allows librarians to participate directly in online discussions and assignments. Case studies from faculty suggest students benefit from embedded librarians' research guidance. Barriers like workload must be addressed, but embedding improves students' research skills above traditional one-shot instruction sessions.
Iceri, 2009
The document summarizes efforts by the library director at Saint Xavier University to improve student research skills and engagement with the campus community through the use of new online tools. The library started using tutorials, social media like Twitter and Facebook, and a new search tool called WorldCat Local to make the research process easier for students and facilitate communication. Initial feedback indicates these new methods have been successful in helping students and engaging faculty, though the library will continue assessing their impact over time.

Student research eds ugm melbourne presentation (public edit)
Student researchers presented research on user experiences and behaviors. Primary research methods discussed included contextual inquiry, surveys, interviews, usability testing, video diaries, and card sorting. Research on college students found they begin with "presearch" on Google and Wikipedia to scope their topic before doing "serious research". Student research occurs in "microbursts" with periods of dormancy. Many students are novice researchers who find library websites challenging and don't understand terms like "Boolean". Top search terms were often broad, misspelled, and focused on results on the first page.

The document discusses a student experience project conducted at a university library to understand student research behaviors and needs. The project used ethnographic and user experience research methods like customer journey mapping workshops, photo diaries, and student and academic interviews. Preliminary themes identified a gap between student and academic expectations of assignments. Academics expected more critical thinking and reading than students demonstrated. The interviews highlighted a need for coordinated information skills training between the library and colleges. Lessons learned included the value of conversations with academics but also the time required to analyze qualitative data.

Feedback about SAm Programs “ The University of Toronto Library entered into the Scopus Ambassador Programme (SAm) with trepidation - how could we allow a publisher to promote the use of their product on our campus? However, we were very aware of the fact that we spend literally millions of dollars on providing access to e-resources for our users and we know that many of them are oblivious to what is available to them. Our library does not market to our users. That is not our tradition.” “ It's the synergy and the team spirit and the leg work that the SAms [Student Ambassadors] provide to get us into the classroom or the office or places that we have no time to venture out to. They help open little doors for us so to speak because they have the time…” Haymwantee Singh Reference Librarian New Jersey Institute of Technology Warren Holder Electronic Resources Co-ordinator University of Toronto Libraries
