Rachel Dolan – Campus Library Manager discusses Challenges at University of Sunderland libraries - the role of library spaces as learning styles and access to resources are evolving inc brief tour of Murray Library.
This workshop will explore the skill sets for scholarly
communication including questions about future
requirements, the language we are using in this space and,
beyond skills, what type of people are suited to different
aspects of librarianship. Scholarly communication requires
people who are able to be flexible in their approach, rather
than ‘rule followers’, which may mean a fundamental shift
in the library workforce into the future. Working collectively,
the session will consider the implications for upskilling our

IFLA ARL Webinar Series | Held online on August 1, 2019
This presentation focuses on Academic Libraries Engaging in Publishing: a Burgeoning Service Model in the Open Access Sphere, presented by Jody Bailey, Head of Scholarly Communications Office, Emory University Libraries, and Ted Polley, Social Sciences & Digital Publishing, IUPUI University Library.
Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming
activity for individual libraries who have a legal and
ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As
access to online content has grown and funding for support
diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits
of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty
content and then work with publishers and other suppliers
to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide
some case studies from UK universities that show how we
are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library
content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively
to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors,
many of whom have engaged with their
customers. In some cases quite simple changes to
publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others
a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use
their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be
relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.

The reading list challenge : implementing Loughborough Online Reading List So...dbslibrary
This presentation explores the importance of reading lists in the higher education sector asserting that they are integral in transitioning students from ‘dependent to autonomous learners.’ The presentation opens by exploring reasons why reading lists are not afforded the importance that they should be within the higher education sector. The key benefits of reading lists for students, academics and librarians are elucidated. The presentation suggests that paper reading lists are incongruous with today’s digital learning environment. The role of reading list software in transforming paper reading lists into a ‘scaffolded learning experience’ is explored. DBS Library’s collaboration with Loughborough University regarding their open source reading list management system LORLS is discussed. Business case construction and implementation of LORLS software at DBS is elaborated upon. The history and features of LORLS software are outlined. The presentation concludes with a discussion of the positives that have arisen from the Loughborough-DBS Library collaboration.
Librarians and faculty members now have the opportunity, through open access publishing, to work together to make faculty-produced scholarly content available to the entire academic community, not just to those scholars or institutions privileged enough to afford it. The University of South Florida Libraries have been working with bepress’ Digital Commons platform to create a substantial institutional repository that includes open access journals, conference proceedings, and data sets, among other materials. Publication of open access journals at USF officially began in 2008 with the launch of Numeracy from the National Numeracy Network. Library staff members are currently involved in a variety of activities, including negotiating memorandum of understandings, loading backfiles, registering DOIs with CrossRef, designing layout, doing final publication steps, and assisting with technical issues. In 2011, our institutional repository, Scholar Commons @ USF, went live, allowing the library to pull fragmented collections previously hosted on other platforms into a single system with improved discoverability. This session will discuss some of these efforts, what is involved, how we have retrained existing and new staff, and plans for future directions.

Using computing power to replace lawyers-advances in licensing and accessNASIG
Students and researchers need access to more content than ever before. However, the demise of the big deals and the rise of new purchasing models have added complexity to licensing and legal frameworks. The iTunes model has shown that most users prefer an easy purchase/access method to piracy, and advances in computing power are using smart rules-based systems to replace lawyers. Learn how to get the most out of your licensed content and how to provide simplified access for coursepacks and library reserves. Learn how to reduce your legal liability through license integration with your LMS. Let’s get the lawyers out of the picture, so that professors and students can access content quickly and efficiently.

An evolution of Vscene in action - John WilsonJisc
The Jisc Vscene videoconferencing service will be evolving over the coming year with help from our new strategic partner, Ajenta. With this new partnership, there will be improved focus on enhancing the teaching and learning experience.
In this workshop you can discover how, through VScene, students learn through virtual classrooms, e-learning and MOOCS as well as enhanced interoperability with desktop applications and mobile devices.
Teaching and learning has been enhanced for a community of 1200 physicists, academics, research staff and postgraduate students, whilst significantly reducing their annual teaching and collaboration overheads. How? By effective use of VScene.
Further education colleges use a variety of approaches to track and monitor student engagement and performance.
By integrating these approaches with the national learning records warehouse, we can move from descriptive to predictive analytics, making a significant impact on retention, achievement and successful outcomes for learners through timely, targeted interventions and support.
See how data from Grade Tracker, developed at Bedford College, is being integrated into the Jisc learning analytics architecture.
Inclusively enhancing learning from lecture recordings: using Synote without ...Jisc
The government have clarified changes to the Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA), which mean that universities need to find ways to make teaching and learning more inclusive.
This demonstration will enable participants to experience how Synote has been used at the University of Southampton and other universities to address DSA cut by enhancing a lecture recording through providing an online searchable interactive transcript time synchronised with video, audio and notes.
Automatic machine captioning is affordable compared with professional human captioning and notetaking and can give just as good results when students are provided with the ability to correct any speech recognition errors in the transcript.

Institutional visions for a digital student experienceJisc
This panel discussion will explore institutional visions for a digitally-enhanced student experience.
We will hear the views of leaders on how technology is changing the design, delivery and assessment of learning for both on campus and remote learners; what challenges and opportunities this poses and how this is supporting their students to prepare for a digitally-enabled workplace.
The panel will also share their thinking on how digital content and resources are being successfully integrated into a digitally-enhanced curricula.
Increasing student satisfaction by closing the feedback loopJisc
One of the biggest challenges universities and student unions’ face today when enhancing the student experience is closing the feedback loop between students and staff. With a constant stream of survey and systems, university staff struggle to demonstrate how they are acting on student feedback in a timely and relevant manner. As a result this leads to students feeling further disengaged and dissatisfied as they feel their voice is not heard or do not adequately supported.
Unitu aims to provide an effective way for universities to engage with the student voice and close the feedback loop. We will present findings, best practices, potential consequences of an ineffective feedback system and how we've discovered a great way to close the feedback loop and improve the student experience.
Exploiting digital collections in learning, teaching and researchJisc
The use of digital resources in teaching and learning relies on the ability to discover online content and the reliability of such content for use and reuse.
Jisc has developed a training package on making your digital resources easier to discover to help content creators optimise their digital collections for discovery, use, reuse and citation so that they can have a stronger impact on teaching, learning and research.
Join this demonstration to see the actions collections owners can take to assist resource discovery and to find out more about the training.
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.

Integrating library services more closely with the student’s learning environment has long been a goal. A recent report on course reading from a Canadian university probably sums up the attitude of most UK academic libraries. ‘The Library has long placed a strong emphasis on working directly with faculty to tailor its services and resources to academic programs and integrate them at the point of need’. For over a decade the library/learning system space has been contested by a variety of approaches. It remains imperfectly resolved.

Program was started
• In 2010 a librarian and hybrid learning director
began discussing how online student information
resource and service needs were being met
• It soon became apparent that a link to the library
website from within our Moodle (FoxTALE) Learning
Management System (LMS) was not enough
8. How it evolved
• Embedding librarians inside our existing
Moodle Learning Management System
(LMS), to be available at the point of need,
made the most sense
• An “Ask Your Librarian” Forum was inserted
in online courses with a research component
9. Our basic LMS
module - created from
library website content
and designed to provide
general information
applicable to all courses
11. Example of librarian created customized content
for a graduate Education course inside a Moodle site
-Though they
varied, customized
modules contained
course specific
content and built-in
librarian assistance

18. Once a librarian has created a course
research guide (LibGuide), a Library
Resource widget with button containing
the course guide can be added to the
corresponding Foxtale (moodle) site →
(currently this is done manually)
Because the Library Resource widgets
are “smart” or contextually aware, the
system will default to a general purpose
guide if no corresponding course guide
has been created
19.
20. • The plan is for all of the GFU
Moodle course sites to include a
Library Resources widget by default
beginning in Fall 2013. This will
eliminate the need to add the block
manually and further increase
efficiencies.
21. “Embedded librarianship is a
powerful way to show the impact
that librarians can and do have
beyond the traditional functions of
the library, and why librarians are
needed now more than ever.”

Editor's Notes
Introduction
Three main areas to be covered during this presentation
There are many definitions for embedded librarians, the concept is still emerging, and depending on how and where one is serving in this role, the embedded librarian can look very different – Therefore, I’ll share a couple of broad definitions that I think hit the mark in a general sense and a few of the characteristics of embedded librarian work as well.
This quote captures the essence of the concept - After reading this quote by Dede, in the book titled “Embeddedlibrarians: Moving beyond one-shot instruction” David Shumakerwrote in a blog post “From now on, when I’m asked what embedded librarianship means, I’ll say it means that librarians become integral parts to the units and groups in which they work.” This definition is applicable to librarians embedded in both virtual and physical environments.
In this quote from the newly published book by Shumaker titled “The Embedded Librarian: Innovative Strategies for Taking Knowledge Where It’s Needed” Shumaker goes on to state “It emphasizes the importance of forming a strong working relationship between the librarian and a group or team of people who need the librarian’s information expertise.” And, according to Shumaker, Factors that define embedded librarianship and set it apart from traditional reference work include, ongoing working relationships, knowledge of and commitment to information user-group goals and objectives, and highly customized and value-added contributions to the group.
Next lets look at the history of the embedded librarian program at GFU. For those who would like more detail than what I’ll be able to provide here today, I’m including a link to a presentation that three of us from my university gave at a conference in June 2011.
Long story short, with the level of need, and limited resources, in our case human resources, we simply could not maintain this model. In addition our university was expanding their online and blended course offerings to include more undergraduate courses and the need was growing. We had to find a sustainable way to meet these needs.
What you’re seeing here is a screen shot of part of a page on our library website (link below). LibGuides are fairly well known amongst librarians and are often subject specific guides, but they can also be course-specific – how many here are using LibGuides? There are many advantages to moving to using LibGuides to create our course content, one is that they are fairly simple to create, though they can be time consuming. And as librarians create guides for their various courses, some of the content can be reused by other librarians by simply copying a page or box. An example is our APA cite page that’s used in several of our guides. Also, now the work could be more evenly divided amongst all the librarians. Subject liaisons are primarily responsible for guides in their subject areas. In addition, the work that we would put into these guides significantly broadens our reach as we can now use these guides for online and blended students as well as sharing the guides in face-to-face courses with a research component during our one-shot library instruction sessions.
This is an example of a course-specific libguide pop-up web page inserted inside a moodle course site –After collaborating with a faculty member, reading over the syllabus and creating the course content, we would publish the guide and send the link to our IT department to request the guide be inserted inside a specific moodle course. This was a step we realized from the start would be far more efficient if automated.We found using libguides to create course content to be easier and more robust than using the Moodle web resources. LibGuides allow us to easily embed different types of content.A chat widget that can’t be seen in this image is also included in the guide along with the librarian liaison’s profile box with contact info and for times when the liaison librarian is not available there is a “contact a librarian” link that takes students to our page with four different ways to reach a librarian. This was a problem within the moodle system as only one librarian was embedded in the Ask Your Librarian Forum.
Example of a course-specific LibGuide for a graduate Counseling Course
In attending the Online Northwest Conference in Corvallis, Oregon in February 2012, I learned about some exciting work being done by folks at Portland State University, they had created a contextually aware or “Smart” widget for their D2L courses.I wanted to understand more about what it could do so a short while after the conference I contacted PSU Distance Learning Librarian, Amy Hofer to inquire about this widget they were using in their course sites. Amy was glad to help and spoke with Mike Flakus the PSU Programmer, who kindly shared his work in creating the widget for their LMS, D2L. I quickly sent off the link to our IT department and requested they take a look. Could it be tweaked a bit to work inside of our Moodle LMS as well?
Before I answer that, the open source project, Library Widget for D2L is documented on the page link on this slide.The paragraph states:Library Widget for D2L: This application works with the Desire2Learn LMS platform and SpringShare'sLibGuides API to create a library widget containing a dynamic selection of content based on the course page where it is displayed. The default configuration includes a search box for the library's catalog, contact links for more research help and a link to the most relevant course/subject guide based on the context of the page where the widget is being viewed.
And here is the widget that our Programmer, Ryan Backman, was able to create to use within our Moodle LMS – In a moment I’ll show how it looks inside a moodle course site – Notice that the one widget has a button that reads “Guide to Course Research” – that button only appears if there is a course specific libguide that was created and tagged with the course ID number of the moodle course. If that does not exist, then the second view of the widget will appear. Notice there is no button to Course Research. Instead, using the widget students can search the library catalog or visit the library website. If immediate contact with a librarian is desired, the Chat button can be selected and a chat widget will pop-up inside of the foxtale course site. The Phone, text, and email link takes students to our contact a librarian page where they can choose their favorite method to contact.
The widget is "smart" because it knows when a LibGuide exists for a certain course by matching Moodle course names to LibGuides with that tag. This strategic re-positioning of the librarian left us with an embedded presence, without the entanglement of being personally in the course, allowing for a sustainable program.
We currently have over 1000 moodle course sites, any sites without a course guide, the majority of them, will automatically receive the general Library Resources widget. Adding the library resource widget to the moodle template is a big step and one that should help increase efficiencies and help librarians better serve our students. We’re excited to see this progress and thankful to our IT team and Portland State University’s team for their great work.
