This document provides an overview of a library staff development session on supporting students through the use of reading lists. The session aims to explain how reading lists can help with collection management and add value for both students and staff. Benefits of accessible reading lists are outlined, such as ensuring recommended materials are available in the library or online. The document also discusses how reading lists can support students with disabilities by providing alternative formats and links to resources. Statistics on disability are presented to argue that more should be done to meet the needs of print impaired students through reading lists.
This document outlines the benefits of using ePortfolios and provides 8 steps for creating an ePortfolio. Some key benefits mentioned are that ePortfolios make connections between theory and practice, document learning over time, provide evidence of meeting standards, and encourage reflection. The 8 steps provided are to consider goals and objectives, gather artifacts, convert files to recommended formats, create folders, upload documents, use naming conventions, share folders, and optionally create a website.
This document summarizes reports from four university libraries about changing operations due to shifts from print to online resources. It describes trends over eight years at Western Oregon University, including an 82% increase in electronic expenditures and 727% increase in e-journals. Physical circulation decreased 18% while e-usage increased 116%. Core operations have shifted from collecting to instruction and systems. Personnel budgets have remained static, requiring shifts via attrition to cover new roles in publishing, archives, and digital initiatives.

E-books for the Classroom & Open Access Textbooks: Two ways to help students ...NASIG
In order to help students withstand the rising cost of textbooks, and in turn support the mission of student success, the University of South Florida has implemented two electronic resource based initiatives as part of the Tampa Library’s Textbook Affordability Project.
Through the E-books for the Classroom program, the Library purchases electronic versions of texts required for coursework, providing equitable access to needed materials at no cost to the students. For the past five years, this program has evolved into a highly successful Textbook Affordability measure, acquiring hundreds of e-books and serving thousands of students, as well as becoming an integral part of the e-book acquisition process.
The Library, with the support of the Office of the Provost and in collaboration with other departments across the University, is publishing a faculty-authored multimedia Open Access Textbook to be used by hundreds of students each semester in USF’s children’s literature courses. The USF institutional repository, Scholar Commons, will host the textbook, making it freely available on a global scale. This program effectively uses library expertise and skills, coordinating university-wide faculty, professional, and technical resources, to create library-as-publisher for the benefit of the students and textbook affordability.
This presentation will include a review of the need for these types of Library based initiatives, the processes involved in establishing and maintaining them, and a discussion of their challenges and successes along with plans for future improvements.

This document summarizes a process improvement project at Emory University Libraries. It discusses mapping the end-to-end electronic resources selection, acquisition, and management process which involves over 40 staff across multiple libraries and has an annual budget of $5M. The project involved creating process maps for each step through a systems approach. It identified areas for improvement such as lack of prioritization and communication issues. The final report included revised process maps and recommendations to address roles, responsibilities, and documentation.
The document discusses moving a workshop from in-person to online delivery. It recommends defining clear learning objectives and creating a skeleton plan that outlines the workshop content and type of content. Examples of content types include information, activities, quizzes and screencasts. The document also suggests developing a storyboard to flesh out the skeleton plan in more detail. Common pitfalls to avoid include making the learning tool-driven or including too much information. The workshop leaders are asked to share their storyboards for feedback.
Partnering with academic deans to pay for online reading list help by Anne Wo...CILIP ARLG
The document discusses a partnership between academic libraries and deans at the University of Portsmouth to pay graduate students to help populate the university's online reading list system.
Key points:
- The library had struggled to encourage faculty to contribute reading lists to the existing online system.
- An innovative funding model had certain deans provide money to hire recent graduates to work with faculty librarians and collect reading lists.
- This approach was successful in getting much higher reading list coverage across multiple faculties. It provided benefits to students, faculty, and the library.
- The graduates also found the experience valuable for future employment opportunities.
This is the presentation used to guide our discussions at a teacher professional development workshop for teachers who have spent the last year implementing student research into their curriculum. Teachers used the "STEM Student Research Handbook" as a student text and have been developing unit and lesson plans to guide their students through the process.

The document discusses the implementation of a new reading list system at the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol. It describes problems UWE previously had with students not being able to access required readings. UWE addressed this by developing reading strategies in collaboration with academics that focused on ensuring core readings were accessible while developing students' information skills. It then discusses UWE's enhanced reading list project which includes adopting reading list software, expanding digital content, and working with faculties to pilot the new system from 2016-2017. The goals are to improve students' experiences, engagement, and outcomes.
A webquest is an inquiry-oriented lesson that uses mostly online resources. It has five key characteristics: it is classroom-based, emphasizes higher-order thinking, preselects sources to emphasize use over gathering of information, and is often group work with roles. Webquests are compelling for teachers because they easily incorporate the internet, encourage collaboration and sharing, can be interdisciplinary, develop critical thinking skills, and motivate students with authentic tasks. A webquest has six essential parts: introduction, task, process, resources, evaluation, and conclusion.

The document summarizes the Putting Students in the SADL project at the London School of Economics. The project aimed to create a student network called Student Ambassadors for Digital Literacy to help embed digital and information literacy skills into the curriculum. Students participated in workshops on topics like finding information, reading and writing, managing information, and digital identity. The project found that students learned about new resources and peer support was valuable, but the ambassador role required clear expectations. Ongoing data collection and expanding the program to more departments was discussed.
"Perfection is the enemy of the good "Supporting research data management: A ...Incremental Project
The document summarizes a scoping study conducted by Cambridge University Library to determine key research data management needs of researchers and develop a plan to address these issues. The study found that while concerns were similar across disciplines, training and guidance needs to provide disciplinary examples to be understood. The implementation plan recommends producing simple, visual guidance on data management and making support easier to find and understand through a centralized website with categorized resources, guidance translated to plain language, and practical training resources with discipline-specific examples.
This senior thesis research project aimed to fate map Hoxa5-expressing cells and their descendants in mouse embryonic somites over time. The student used an inducible Cre-ERT2 transgenic mouse line to identify and track the progeny of Hoxa5-expressing cells at stages E9.5, E12.5 and E13.5. Observations found that Hoxa5 descendants gave rise to dermis, perichondria and adipocytes in a tissue-specific manner. However, the absence of chondrocyte descendants early on suggests Hoxa5 cells contribute to chondrocytes in a temporally-specific manner.

Report in assessment of learning senior high school (k-12)Jewell Ann Manabat
The document discusses the implementation of the K-12 program in the Philippines, which will involve adding two years to basic education, resulting in 12 years of schooling before university. This is being done to better prepare students and make their qualifications more recognized internationally. The new program includes a senior high school component with specialized tracks for students' final two years, including academic, technical-vocational, and sports/arts tracks. The senior high school aims to provide career guidance and opportunities for immersion experiences in students' chosen fields.
This document provides information to students about completing a senior thesis or project for the Commonwealth Honors College. It discusses why students complete a thesis or project, the benefits, and differences between the two options. The document outlines the general process, including defining a topic, finding an advisor, submitting proposals, conducting research, and presenting findings. It also provides a timeline for the thesis or project work over junior and senior years. Students have options to complete an independent study thesis/project or register for a thesis seminar course. The document provides examples of the scope and formats of both thesis and project work.
This study used a descriptive correlational survey method to examine the impact of social networking sites as information dissemination tools of government agencies as perceived by second year Foreign Service students at Lyceum of the Philippines University Cavite Campus. Questionnaires were administered to 82 second year Foreign Service students to collect data on the role and impact of social networking sites, and their potential benefits as public information tools. A Likert scale was used to analyze the data and determine student perceptions.
This document summarizes the key points of a study about parents' reactions to the implementation of the K-12 education program in the Philippines. The study aims to understand parents' sources of information about K-12, their positive and negative perceptions of the program's rationale and impact on students' welfare, and any problems they foresee. The study is focused on parents of 7th grade students at Sta. Maria High School in Iriga City and will provide insights for students, teachers, administrators and policymakers.
This document summarizes a study that used genetic fate mapping to track the cell lineages derived from cells expressing the Hox gene Hoxa5 in mouse embryo somites. The study found that Hoxa5-expressing cells give rise to dermis, perichondria, adipocytes, and neurons at early stages, but also contribute to chondrocytes at later stages. Specifically, Hoxa5 descendants were not present in vertebral bodies at e9.5, suggesting chondrocytes do not express Hoxa5 until after e10.5. This fate mapping analysis provides insight into how Hoxa5 patterns regional identity in the developing musculoskeletal system in a tissue- and time-dependent manner.
The document provides an introduction to a study that aims to determine the factors affecting career preferences among senior high school students. It discusses the background and context of the problem, which includes various socioeconomic, political, and financial crises faced by the country. It then presents the statement of the problem, objectives, hypotheses, theoretical framework based on Super's vocational development theory and Tiedeman's self-development approach to career, conceptual framework, scope and limitations of the study, significance of the study, and definition of key terms. The theoretical framework focuses on how vocational self-concept and ego involvement influence career preferences as external factors and internal drives can alter career patterns over time through a process of exploration, crystallization, choice

The projects aim to better integrate in-person and online services and leverage collaboration between librarians, developers, and other partners.
Organizational Implications of Data Science Environments in Education, Resear...Victoria Steeves
Data science (DS) poses key organizational challenges for academic institutions. DS is a multidisciplinary field that includes a range of research methodologies and fields of inquiry. DS as a domain is interested in many of the same issues as libraries: data access and curation, reproducibility, the value of ontologies, and open scholarship. At the same time, identifying opportunities to collaborate and deploy unified services can be challenging. The Data Science Environment (DSE) program, co-funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore and Alfred P. Sloan foundations, provides resources to help universities develop collaborations between researchers, develop tools in DS, and create new career paths for data scientists. Working groups within the DSE focus on reproducibility, career paths, education/training, research methods, space issues, and software/tools. This program has introduced new opportunities for libraries to explore how to engage with this community and consider how to bring the expertise in the DS community to bear on library missions and goals. In this panel, program members from each of the three partner universities, the University of Washington, New York University and the University of California, Berkeley, consider the research questions of the DSE and the organizational impact of these groups in the University as a whole and for the libraries specifically. The panel will employ a case-study presentation model framed through three lenses: the role of data sciences in information science, the
potential career paths for data scientists in libraries, and the potential
amplification of information services (e.g. data curation, institutional repositories, scholarly publishing).

High School to College: Preparing for College Researchbwest2
This document discusses preparing high school students for college-level research. It begins by noting a gap between what high school teachers expect students to know and what college professors expect. The workshop aims to discuss Common Core standards, college research expectations, and strategies to improve high school student research readiness. It outlines faculty research assignment expectations and national ACRL standards. While students are proficient with everyday online research, they struggle with academic research skills like evaluating sources and citing properly. The document suggests long-term and short-term classroom activities as well as collaborating with school librarians to better prepare students before college.
Collaborative Partnership for Managing the Crucial Aspects of Libraries: Spac...Jay Bhatt
The crucial issues in present era in the science and technology library are, space and technology. The physical space in library is either reducing or it can be said that the requirement has been increasing in the recent time, and also the digital technology is rising phenomenally. Creative Integration of Space and Technology can enhance collaborative partnership among faculty, students and librarians to inspire active learning through the exploration of various resources and tools available from libraries. User awareness of such services is absolutely critical and this integration can help develop this awareness. To deal with this matter, the presentation tries to discuss in detail about different aspects of the above mentioned two important areas of library viz., Space and Technology. For reviewing it, the examples of advanced libraries of different countries have been included to showcase the measures being taken up by them to overcome the problems of the space and technology pertaining in the library. Through this presentation, an attempt has been made for enhancement of administration of the library management as well as for providing better user services.

From Creation to Preservation: Transforming the Culminating Student Project T...Marie Sciangula
This project briefing, presented at the METRO's 2nd Annual Conference (#metrocon14) on January 15, 2014 at Baruch College, shows how key members of the Purchase College Library and the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center came together to transform the year-long Student Projects process. At Purchase College, Student Projects is the blanket term used to refer to the ‘culminating student experience’ and includes senior projects, capstone papers, and master’s theses. We will show how librarians, catalogers, developers, and TLTC staff partnered to create a workspace that has taken Student Projects from a traditional paper-based process and transformed it into a dynamic, digital, student-centered venture that is interwoven with reference, instruction, assessment, access, and other practical innovations such as the ability for faculty readers/sponsors to approve projects within the workspace. We will explain how we adapted technologies already in place at Purchase (Moodle, LibGuides, and Drupal) to enhance and streamline the process of researching, developing, submitting, and archiving Student Projects. The flexibility of these systems allows us to respond to student and faculty feedback quickly and make adjustments as needed. We will present our successes, challenges, and share our current plans for developing an open, fully searchable, and aesthetically mindful digital repository. We will also discuss future plans for a large-scale digitization effort to make accessible nearly 40 years of Student Projects, allowing for better and broader access to this collection of important student scholarship and creativity. We hope that our collaboration and the development of the Student Projects digital repository will make a meaningful contribution to Purchase College’s institutional memory and serve as an inspiration to other institutions interested in preserving student scholarship.
The Institutional Repository Exploratory Committee (IREC) at Mott Community College researched the concept of institutional repositories and their potential benefits. IREC is comprised of faculty and staff from various departments. They attended demonstrations of repositories at other Michigan universities to learn about software options, policies, and lessons learned. IREC will make a recommendation to the college president in November on whether MCC should implement a repository to showcase faculty, staff and student work and make it accessible worldwide. Key considerations include costs, stakeholders, and potential collections.
The document summarizes an educational workshop for librarians that covers three parts: 1) E-resources implementation and innovation with ideas and practical steps, 2) Getting the most out of Credo Reference services and increasing usage, 3) New features from Credo Reference including topic pages and subject collections.
The document discusses how the UC San Diego Library embedded library resources directly into the university's learning management system, WebCT. By collaborating with campus partners, the library was able to link directly from course pages to curated subject guides of the library's top 5 resources for over 90% of subjects. This increased the visibility and accessibility of library resources for faculty and students. Key lessons included the importance of cross-campus collaboration, maintenance planning, and designating staff roles for ongoing web updates and content ownership. Embedding library resources directly into the systems users interact with on a daily basis helps place the library in the information space of the campus community.
About the Webinar
Presenters will discuss the role of the library in the academic research enterprise and provide an overview of new librarian strategies, tools, and technologies developed to support the lifecycle of scholarly production and data curation. Specific challenges that face research libraries will be described and potential responses will be explored, along with a discussion of the types of skills and services that will be required for librarians to effectively curate research output.
The UCLA Library partnered with graduate students over 5 weeks to work on digital research projects. Students focused on a new topic each week like data visualization, network analysis, and timeline mapping. Library staff from different departments formed a team to support each project, providing expertise in areas like scraping, mapping, and metadata. Students responded positively, finding value in the structured format and collaborative approach with experts who helped realize their visions. The library aims to continue building infrastructure for interdisciplinary digital scholarship research.
