Steve Lee "How to make yourself almost irreplaceable"CILIP ARLG
This document discusses how librarians can make themselves almost irreplaceable by practicing community librarianship. It recommends librarians get out of the library, find out what users' needs and problems are, plan ways to address those needs and problems, take action, and check the results. The document provides examples of librarians visiting faculty to identify time management issues and ways the library could help, such as providing research assistance and easier access to resources. The overall message is that librarians should focus on solving users' problems to demonstrate their value and ensure support for the library.
Using Surveys to Improve Your Library: Part 2 (Sept. 2018)ALATechSource
This document provides an overview of Emily Daly's ALA eLearning Workshop on using surveys to improve libraries. The workshop covered survey validation and piloting, basic survey structure, writing actionable questions, survey tools, and acting on survey data. Daly emphasized involving colleagues in survey design, sharing results, coding free text responses, crowdsourcing work, and following through on projects identified through survey findings. The key takeaways included involving colleagues and users, ensuring form follows function, planning data analysis, testing surveys early, triangulating methods, and acting on insights from surveys.
This document discusses how the five guidelines for reference and information services (visibility/approachability, interest, listening/inquiring, searching, and follow-up) can be applied to virtual reference services in school libraries. It provides examples for each guideline in a virtual environment, such as communicating personality online, promptly responding to questions, asking clarifying questions through email, co-browsing websites with students, and following up to ensure understanding. The conclusion emphasizes that virtual reference skills improve with experience and research will help establish best practices over time.
CTD Wi14 Weekly Workshop: Best practices for running peer instruction with cl...Peter Newbury
The document outlines best practices for running peer instruction with clickers. It recommends having students first think about and vote on conceptual questions individually before discussing them with peers. When facilitating these discussions, the instructor should wander and listen to conversations to identify student misunderstandings without inserting themselves. The document provides guidelines for instructing and timing group discussions and votes, and confirming correct answers at the end to ensure student understanding.
Knowing what we don't know rodrigues-apqla2013ABQLA2013
The document discusses a study conducted by a university librarian to assess undergraduate students' self-perception of research skills compared to their actual skills as measured by an assessment tool. The study invited students to complete a self-assessment survey and interviewed some students. Results showed that students rated their skills higher than measured. Challenges students described included finding relevant articles and citations. The study aims to help the library better support students."
This document discusses Just in Time Teaching (JiTT), an evidence-based instructional strategy where students complete online pre-class assignments called "warm-ups" and the instructor modifies their lesson plan based on the student responses. Research shows JiTT improves student preparation, engagement, learning, and retention compared to traditional lecture-based methods. The presenter advocates that JiTT is easy for instructors to implement and addresses important areas often neglected in teaching like student metacognition and holding students accountable for pre-class work.
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.

Open literacy & the problem of access refusalRobyn Hall
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.

Teaching what you know and knowing what you teach_by AJSA.J. Schuermann
The document summarizes key points from two books on teaching:
- Teach What You Know discusses different learning styles and the importance of understanding why learners need to know information. It provides an example of teaching bridge building to different learning styles.
- Teaching What You Don't Know argues that being a content novice can make one a better teacher. Novices are better at estimating learning times, predicting student mistakes, and relating concepts to common knowledge to aid student understanding. The focus shifts from content coverage to ensuring students learn the material.
The Re-education of Administration: Why every school administrator should be ...rhinocerology
Library media programs can sometime be undervalued by administration because they don’t understand the many roles librarians fill or the importance of information literacy in academic success and in the role of being a lifelong learner who uses information wisely. Using SUU’s LM Program curriculum as a framework a review of each course will highlight the roles that librarians fill that administrators need to know about, and appreciate in order for the library to be properly staffed, the space used effectively, and for information literacy to be a part of the regular school curriculum as well as a lifelong skill. Courses include: collection development, cataloging, technology, reference, literature, management and instruction, and practical experience. This presentation will help librarians develop strategies to advocate for their programs and their classroom space with in-house administration and can be applied to district administrators or even city and state level for library support as well as collaboratively when working with other teachers.
The document discusses principles and practices of learning-centered education. It outlines several key principles, including that learners' ideas should be valued and not ridiculed, learning involves thinking, emotions and doing, learners remember more when visuals support verbal presentations, the 20-40-80 rule of remembering based on hearing, seeing and doing, learning must be immediately applicable, involve discussion and learning from peers, allow two-way dialogue between learner and teacher, and draw on learners' own knowledge and experience. It also discusses assessing learners' needs and resources to effectively design learning.
The document summarizes feedback from students on the previous term's feedback system. Students found the system too long, repetitive, and not focused on the most important factors like lecturer competence. They suggested making the system more concise by reducing questions, combining similar ones, and focusing on lecturer and course quality. Students also wanted to see the results of their feedback and any changes made in response.
Taking the Library to the people: Community Librarianship in Academic Institutions
The document discusses taking library services directly to users by visiting them in their departments and learning about their needs. It provides examples of librarians addressing problems students and faculty mentioned by setting goals and taking action. The approach aims to demonstrate the library's value by directly helping resolve users' issues.
This document provides advice and best practices for teachers. It suggests that teachers should focus on imparting wisdom to students and using techniques to excel at teaching. It emphasizes that teachers will make mistakes but should acknowledge errors and move on. The document also stresses the importance of understanding students' levels, using age-appropriate vocabulary, collaborating with other teachers, modeling good behavior, focusing on student strengths, incorporating hands-on learning, finding real-life applications, and assessing student understanding authentically. Overall, the advice is aimed at helping teachers improve and provide rewarding learning experiences for students.

Given at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Centre for Education Innovation, May 11, 2018. Focussed on using the LMS as an audience response system, without the need for external tools.
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 discusses the benefits of a "Digital Classroom" for writing instruction. It allows students to publish writing, comment on each other's work, and engage in a community of writers online. The technology draws students in and gives them an authentic audience and purpose. Through giving and receiving regular feedback, students learn from each other in a supportive environment. The goal is for the learning community to prepare students for civil discourse in the digital world.
