The document provides an overview of research resources and services available through Beaman Library. It discusses locating and evaluating different types of information sources like books, articles from scholarly journals and popular magazines, and websites. The document also covers topics like the research process, using the library catalog and databases to find sources, interlibrary loans, and citing sources properly.
Basics of Information Sources in Reference Services
The document discusses different types of information sources, including primary sources which present original information, secondary sources which analyze and interpret primary sources, and tertiary sources which compile and summarize information from primary and secondary sources. It provides examples of different fact-finding sources like encyclopedias, dictionaries, and biographical sources. Controlled vocabularies and bibliographies help users access and direct them to relevant information sources.
Advanced Research Skills
Reg Erhardt Library, SAIT Polytechnic, Advanced Research Skills for Faculty. Come along on a whirlwind tour of the library’s many databases and e-resources, including a review of the advanced search features and tools available to faculty. Google Scholar will also be discussed.
Reference Sources: Origin, Evaluation and Use
This document discusses reference sources, including their definition, categorization, history, and evaluation. It provides details on the different types of reference sources such as indexes, bibliographies, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. The document also covers the development and arrangement of reference collections in libraries. While reference sources are increasingly available in electronic formats, the document argues that the ability to evaluate content and differentiate between source types will remain important skills for reference librarians.
Understanding Print Reference Resources
Reference books provide quick background information and facts to help with initial research on a topic. They include dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, directories, almanacs, and more. Reference books are carefully edited and reviewed to ensure accurate information. They are kept separately from other books and used in the library since the information may be needed by many researchers.

The History Fair research process involves three stages of increasing specificity:
1) Basic background research using general secondary sources to develop a broad understanding.
2) Focused research on the topic using more specialized secondary sources and some primary sources to narrow the topic.
3) In-depth research using expert secondary sources and archival primary sources to tell the story.

When evaluating information sources, criteria like the author's authority, purpose, objectivity, currency, and relevance should be considered. Primary sources contain original material while secondary sources analyze and comment on primary sources.

The document discusses the final dismantlement of slave systems between 1807-1886. It provides details on the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade by various countries from 1803-1824. It then examines the factors that led to the British abolition of the slave trade in 1807, including the work of abolitionists, the Haitian Revolution, economic reasons, and changes in government.

The Abolition Of Slavery
Slavery was abolished in 1807 in Britain, though some continued the trade illegally. Slaves were kept in horrific conditions on ships during the Middle Passage. After abolition, freed slaves faced continued discrimination through Jim Crow laws and segregation until the American civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1950s-60s. The Ku Klux Klan formed to terrorize black communities but declined in the mid-20th century as civil rights progressed, though small groups still operate today.
Atlantic slave trade
The document summarizes the history of slavery in Africa and the Atlantic slave trade. It describes how slavery existed in Africa prior to European contact, with slaves typically being war captives with no rights. The slave trade expanded dramatically with the arrival of Europeans due to demand for slaves in the Americas.

Over 12 million Africans were ultimately transported through this system, devastating Africa's population and economy.

Academic Library Reference Collection
The document summarizes a project to weed the reference collection at a university library to reduce the footprint by 4-6 ranges, improve traffic flow and visibility, and improve the quality of the collection. It was determined that 50% of the collection could be weeded by moving materials to the circulating collection, stacks with restricted access, storage, or discarding them. The envisioned new reference collection would focus on high quality subject encyclopedias, dictionaries, and unique sources to answer factual or unique questions to support brief periods of focused research with librarian assistance or self-directed browsing.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
