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.
The librarian’s new role as course content curators. To address the rising cost of textbooks, we have established a framework for assisting faculty with course development. This session will prepare you to help faculty build courses that are rigorous as well as affordable using library resources and open access tools.
An evolution in learning and teaching has been enabled by providing access to online, content rich, interactive, personalized, meaningful, and timely tools through online courseware, learning management systems and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
Engaging students has been a major challenge for online learning. Data shows that only a fraction of online course enrollees actually begin their courses; an even smaller number finish them.

Scholars often rely on librarians as gatekeepers and tour guides of information in a variety of different fields, but should librarians, especially reference librarians, also be engaged in “librarian as scholar activities”? Science Librarian Charles Smith, among many others including past award winners Cheryl LaGuardia, have written about this. He notes that in conducting research themselves librarians (1) become more familiar with the operational needs of their patrons (2) become more adept at search techniques (3) encounter new tools and databases useful in aiding their patrons (4) draw additional attention to their library and university, and (5) find that those they serve have higher levels of confidence in them. During his live conversation with Rosemary Meszaros of WKU, Brian will offer tips and insights into how librarians can cultivate their own research activities while bolstering their reference collections in new and exciting ways.
Reimagining and Reinforcing Student Success Into Career Success Across the Cu...credomarketing
The final webinar in Credo Education webinar series "The Onus is On Us - How Higher Education Can Close the Skills Gap" presented by Kate Sawyer, Higher Education Administration and Library Consultant.
Are we still teaching students the same old way we were taught and expecting them to learn the same way we learned?
Maybe it’s time to rethink where and how often we teach critical thinking, problem solving and information skill sets, as well as how and when we teach them.
It seems that in just the last few years, the rapid explosion and proliferation of new computer and communications technologies have the potential to alter the learning and teaching experience forever.
We as educators are painfully aware of how “career” or “foundational” skills are essential in today’s ever changing global environment, and that knowledge of and experience in problem solving, critical thinking and information competencies can assure increased graduate success-- or, as one university put it, “keys to reaching your full potential”.
While most higher education institutions are today including career competencies in their FYE curriculum or core general curriculum, this webinar will discuss whether that is enough for today’s learning environment.
Are we still teaching students the same old way we were taught and expecting them to learn the same way we learned?
Maybe it’s time to rethink where and how often we teach critical thinking, problem solving and information skill sets, as well as how and when we teach them.
What would be the advantage to faculty and administration if we did this?
What would be the advantage to students and graduates?
How would it look?
What are the challenges to this approach?
In a world where concerns about the employability of postsecondary graduates is growing for students, parents, and employers, how can higher education best prepare students for future success? Join us for a discussion with Matthew Hora, author of Beyond the Skills Gap, and Mike Sweet, CEO of Credo Education. They will explore the diverse types of skills sought by employers, the role of culture in teaching and hiring, and the value of broader twenty-first-century foundational skills in postsecondary education.

17. Student Voices
Cultivating curiosity
“Most students admitted that they had never used library
databases to conduct research. Indeed, most rarely even enter
the library to take advantage of the wealth of resources
available to them.”
Cultivating curiosity requires taking risks and allowing time for student innovation.
Steps to flex the curiosity muscle:
• Reframe "boring" situations.
• Promote Exploration and Experimentation.
• Support Questioning.
18. Student Voices
“ I am equally as thrilled with the opportunity to have a
second session during which the students will focus on specific
databases and have time for searches.”
Increase comfort in academic research and independent learning.
Steps to achieve independent learning:
• Model and release.
• Build in time for play and process.
• Support student thinking.
Increase comfort in academic research
19. Faculty Buy-In and Engagement
Research Improvement in the curriculum
“I am so glad that the library is moving in a direction
that meets our students where they are and moves them
to understand the need for critical thinking using a
step-by-step process for researching. In Ms.
McKenzie's words, "pre-search for research" is an
excellent approach for our students.”
Research Improvement in the curriculum:
• Use libguides as a collorbative tool for
curriculum design and development.
• Identify the problems and highlight the
library as the solution.
• Build respectful relationship with trust and
accountability practices.
20. Faculty Buy-In and Engagement
Aligning to Curriculum
“Helping the students focus on their topic and what they need to
know, i.e. a broad knowledge of their topic and narrowing the
topic through the research process fits right into the theory they
are reading about in the textbook.”
Curriculum collaboration:
• Bridging the gap between the information literacy standards and course learning outcomes.
• Creating an instructional plan as a collaborative tool for library instruction and faculty buy-in.
• Establish a dedicated website for disseminating library resources.
21. Library Value Added
