Faculty tend toward dis- orderliness whereas order, efficiency, economy and the like seem to be pre- dominant in librarians.10 Librarians do not like unused books and they do like circulation figures,11 again a kind of pre- ciseness that is contrary to what faculty value highly. keywords: books; college; faculty; librarians; library cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-12026.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-12026.txt item: #1558 of 6666 id: crl-12027 author: Taylor, Robert S. title: Question-Negotiation and Information Seeking in Libraries date: 1968-04-30 words: 14195 flesch: 83 summary: q u i r y c o m - p r i s e t h e c o n t e n t a n d T h e r e is also the who knows what file, not on cards but in the li- brarian's memory. keywords: e r; h e; n t; o n; r o; r t; t e; t h; t o cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-12027.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-12027.txt item: #1559 of 6666 id: crl-12029 author: Sitzman, Glenn L. title: Uganda's University Library date: 1968-04-30 words: 6971 flesch: 57 summary: In the absence of an effective public library service or national library, Makerere library finds itself obligated to assume responsibili- ties in those directions as well, though the needs of schools are left to the In- Uganda's University Library / 203 stitute of Education library.

Just as the white collar crime perspective suggests that there is pressure from status inconsistency which motivates white collar criminals to trespass the law, many librarians have suggested that library book theft is a re- sponse to academic pressure.16 The research tested the pressure by in- vestigating whether students steal books to ensure better grades, to deal with stiff competition from their peers, to have books for their personal collections, or because they cannot afford to purchase the books. keywords: book; book theft; library; study; theft; thieves; university cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-12955.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-12955.txt item: #2456 of 6666 id: crl-12956 author: Hernon, Peter; Pastine, Maureen title: Student Perceptions of Academic Librarians date: 1977-03-01 words: 6071 flesch: 54 summary: STUDIES HAVE FOCUSED on faculty at- titudes regarding librarian-faculty rela- tionships and faculty lack of awareness about the services librarians offer.1 Li- brarians are often more aware of fac- ulty than of student perceptions.

In contrast to the conclusions in Currents of Wann Life that popular culture's struggle for life is over, Stevenson and other advocates of popular culture collections in academic li- braries realize that they are still on the de- fensive.13 They know, What librarians have traditionally identified as 'trash,' 'entertainment,' and 'escape literature' are the basic resources of popular culture research. keywords: collection; culture; fiction; libraries; library; popular; popular culture; research; science cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-14043.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-14043.txt item: #3528 of 6666 id: crl-14044 author: Shirk, Gary M. title: Financing New Technologies, Equipment/Furniture Replacement, and Building Renovation: A Survey Report date: 1984-11-01 words: 3818 flesch: 66 summary: Public libraries and university libraries, both public and private, differ in their use of financing methods.

Since attitudes are pivotal to the development of competent research- ers, it was decided that the following ob- jectives should be stressed in presenting the library to students: an understanding of the intrinsic role of library research in undergraduate education; a sense of ben- efit to result from effective library use; the development of an attitude of library com- petence in the student; an appreciation of the reference librarian's professional role · and the complexity of academic libraries; an understanding of library search as chal- lenging rather than frustrating; and a re- definition of library success as compe- tence in search processes rather than as number of items retrieved. keywords: information; library; process; research; students; writing cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-14045.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-14045.txt item: #3530 of 6666 id: crl-14046 author: Carlson, David; Miller, Ruth H. title: Librarians and Teaching Faculty: Partners in Bibliographic Instruction date: 1984-11-01 words: 6121 flesch: 57 summary: These are the questions that now face BI librarians.

This program was necessitated by such factors as limited vendor training; the need to recruit system trainers from among the staff; and the recognition that staff training for an ILS required far more planning than for single-function auto- mated systems and that staff training is an ongoing project because of personnel changes and future system enhance- ments. keywords: learning; library; new; program; skills; staff; system; trainers; training cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-14352.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-14352.txt item: #3835 of 6666 id: crl-14353 author: Michaelson, Robert title: Scientific and Technical Libraries (Book Review) date: 1987-11-01 words: 1791 flesch: 66 summary: • Additional information about library catalogs, indexes, abstracts, reference and government publications.

Gittings found that librarians accom- panied users about 54% of the time when answering reference questions in one ac- ademic library.6 About 46% of the time, they showed them how to find the an- swer, and about 34% of the time, they found the answer for the user. keywords: accuracy; answer; librarian; library; questions; reference cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-14660.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-14660.txt item: #4142 of 6666 id: crl-14661 author: Snelson, Pamela; Talar, S.

Still another stance is to assert with Karl R.

In fact, if higher copying costs do induce more individuals to subscribe and thereby influence publishers to re- duce journal subscription prices to li- braries, then the net effect will be that the library has more money to subscribe to more journals, thereby enhancing access to information. keywords: cost; journal; library; market; price; subscriptions cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-14756.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-14756.txt item: #4238 of 6666 id: crl-14757 author: Bustion, Marifran; Eltinge, John; Harer, John title: On the Merits of Direct Observation of Periodical Usage: An Empirical Study date: 1992-11-01 words: 7020 flesch: 54 summary: To reduce the effect of observer fatigue on recorded use counts, no stu- dent worker observed aisles for more than two hours at a time.

DePew expressed his views on problems gener­ ated by faculty status for librarians: Faculty status is inappropriate for li­ brarians because it creates tensions that obscure the proper role of the li­ brarian, and it interferes with the ef­ fective delivery of library services by diverting librarians’ energies and at­ tentions from those services.1 The Debate Continues The ACRL Academic Status Committee has been quite active in strengthening the con­ cept and practice of granting/maintaining academic status for librarians. Notwithstanding the tremendous growing pressures on academic librarians to meet higher expectations of users, it is my opin­ ion that most librarians with faculty status still firmly believe in the virtues associated with this standing. keywords: false; status; true cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15298.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15298.txt item: #4776 of 6666 id: crl-15299 author: Budd, John M. title: Increases in Faculty Publishing Activity: An Analysis of ARL and ACRL Institutions date: 1999-07-01 words: 3668 flesch: 54 summary: This factor may affect per capita publications but may not explain increases in total publications.

In the wake of Derridan deconstructionism and especially Gérard Genette’s discov­ ery of “paratexts” (e.g. titles, dust-jacket blurbs, etc.), humanists, too, are seizing with new vigor upon the physicality of books, their various nontextual qualities that serve as coconstituents of meaning in “the complex mediation between book, author, publisher, and reader.” keywords: book; new; rota; tion cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15374.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15374.txt item: #4852 of 6666 id: crl-15375 author: McKinzie, Steve title: Stover, Mark.

Some of the evalua­ tions were articles or presentation papers by individual reviewers, some were com­ mittee or task force reports, some were raw spreadsheets or checklists correlat­ ing criteria and vendors, and a few were combinations of the above.23–26 Only three of the thirty-two evaluations made any mention whatsoever of access to or inte­ gration of library resources as criteria for selection.27, 28 For at least the initial wave of ALN implementation, this would seem to suggest that the reductionist viewpoint has prevailed and that to a certain extent libraries have been marginalized. keywords: distance; education; feb; http; journal; learning; libraries; library; online; services; students; web cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15383.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15383.txt item: #4861 of 6666 id: crl-15384 author: Williams, James title: Bowker, Geoffrey C., and Susan Leigh Star.

With these findings, the authors called the concern over acceptance a “non-issue” and credited it to the merit criteria of peer review, which is applicable in both print and electronic mediums.1 A subsequent survey of business faculty supported this conclusion.2 Unlike ar­ ticles in e-journals, Web projects are rarely peer reviewed, and the issue of accep­ tance remains very real. keywords: faculty; helpful; projects; review; re­; satisfied; web cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15448.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15448.txt item: #4925 of 6666 id: crl-15449 author: Meyer, Richard W. title: A Tool to Assess Journal Price Discrimination date: 2001-05-01 words: 10929 flesch: 54 summary: The article concludes with a description of an analytical tool that may be used to assess journal prices. Economic Theory and Model To analyze the effects of electronic avail­ ability on journal price, a straightforward model was established that applied ordi­ nary least squares (OLS) regression on cross-sectional data similar to analyses reported by others.3 Earlier models typi­ cally regressed price on a number of vari­ ables to distinguish the statistical rel­ evance of publisher type in determining price.4 Not only do these studies confirm librarians’ belief that certain publishers practice price discrimination, but they also show that periodical prices are driven by other factors, as well. keywords: electronic; journal; model; monopoly; power; price; publishers; titles; variables cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15449.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15449.txt item: #4926 of 6666 id: crl-15450 author: Veaner, Allen B. title: Arms, William Y.

Shaughnessy and Sa­ rah M. Pritchard have provided overviews of benchmarking in libraries.8, 9 Recently, several reports of benchmarking studies in academic libraries have been published that look at service measurements such as wait times and Web site usage.10–12 Suzanne H. Angel and Leslie G. Mackler described a benchmarking survey of hospital libraries that examined a range of library services, including reference performance.13 How­ ever, the libraries that Angel and Mackler studied did not use a standardized means of determining patron satisfaction, so it is unclear how comparable their results were. A 1998 pub­ lication by Peter Hernon and Ellen Altman provided thorough background information on assessing service quality in libraries using a variety of methods.1 Charles A. Bunge, as well as John C. Stalker and Marjorie E. Murfin, described the Wisconsin–Ohio Reference Evaluation Program, which compares librarians’ and patrons’ perceptions of the same reference transactions and points out the strengths and weaknesses of both sets of percep­ tions.2, 3 Jennifer Mendelsohn reported on a study designed to better understand what constitutes reference service qual­ ity by interviewing reference staff and patrons.4 Other researchers have relied solely on patron perceptions and opin­ ions, explaining that only the patrons know if they have been satisfied with a service.5, 6 Although measuring service quality in a single library can be accomplished with a variety of methods, self-assessment alone may not be very useful. keywords: academic; libraries; library; reference; service cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15460.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15460.txt item: #4937 of 6666 id: crl-15461 author: McGillis, Louise; Toms, Elaine G. title: Usability of the Academic Library Web Site: Implications for Design date: 2001-07-01 words: 7290 flesch: 60 summary: John D’Angelo and Sherry K.

Also missing is the recognition that most such institutions are wholly and traditionally dependent on “outside copy” from the Library of Congress and vendors (including library networks), that this copy is frequently flawed and dysfunctional, and that the library and information science profession appears totally immobilized about actually im­ proving the situation (for example, devot­ ing more staff and resources to critical copy revision and enhancement, as well as dynamic subject heading reform, cross-referencing, and innovation at lo­ cal and network levels, in tandem with efforts to correct and reinvigorate the cata­ loging operation at LC and make govern­ ing codes, such as AACR2, more Index to advertisers Academic Press keywords: book; library; white cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15468.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15468.txt item: #4945 of 6666 id: crl-15469 author: RIGGS, DONALD E. title: Getting Research Published date: 2001-09-01 words: 1496 flesch: 40 summary: Very few of these manuscripts reflected a thorough knowl­ edge of research methods.

This vague caution centered on the necessity of preserving electronic documents in a mul- titude of formats, including native formats such as Microsoft Word for contextual in- formation, raster format such as PDF or TIFF for access, the OCR output so that documents will be searchable, a structured format such as SGML or XML for preser- vation purposes, and an ASCII document to serve as a last-ditch method of recover- ing lost data. keywords: access; digital; electronic; etd; information; long; preservation; term cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15501.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15501.txt item: #4977 of 6666 id: crl-15502 author: Hernon, Peter; Powell, Ronald R.; Young, Arthur P. title: University Library Directors in the Association of Research Libraries: The Next Generation, Part Two date: 2002-01-01 words: 7395 flesch: 31 summary: At the same time, funding organizations ought to be persuaded of their obligation to assist ef- forts to produce library directors with the prerequisite expertise and attributes. Li- brary directors generally found them- selves at a higher level of leadership de- velopment and ability than did their sub- ordinates, a common outcome of leader- ship studies.4 Paul H. Mosher, vice provost and di- rector of libraries at the University of Pennsylvania, characterized the position of university library director as one that has gone through various stages of change: “the ‘keeper ’, evolving to the ‘professor-librarian’” (up to 1928), “the collection or ‘bookman-librarian” (1928– 1970), “the organization man (or woman) or ‘scientific’ librarian” (1970–1985), and “the provocative or ‘networked’ librarian: the ‘change agent’… on the university stage” (1985–present). keywords: attributes; directors; libraries; library; list; research cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15502.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15502.txt item: #4978 of 6666 id: crl-15503 author: Lutz, Maija M. title: Collection Development in an Electronic Environment.

Of course, the Oxford En- glish Dictionary also lists some of the more familiarly contemporary meanings of the term: unintelligibility, meaninglessness in speech and writing, nonsense, gibberish, and other verbal gestures of contempt, par- ticularly where the language in question is characteristic of some identifiable set of practitioners, occupations and professions being among the more obvious examples of these. keywords: academic; envy; false; garber; true; values cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15504.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15504.txt item: #4980 of 6666 id: crl-15505 author: Berry, John title: Gorman, Michael.

Moore’s 1996 article described library instruction as one of three endur- ing reference service categories, the other two being informational services and reader ’s advisory services.10 In the early 1990s, librarians debated how reference services ought to incorpo- rate instruction. Such courses vary dramatically from institution to institution, and for the purposes of this particular survey, including them as part of library instruction would not render comparable results.14 Library tours are considered part of library instruction and counted toward the yearly number of classes. keywords: departments; instruction; librarians; library; reference; services; survey cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15529.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15529.txt item: #5003 of 6666 id: crl-15530 author: Lum, Raymond title: Briscoe, Peter.

And in a time of diminishing budgets, library admin- istrators will not be overwhelmed with the creativity of a suggestion to solve the qual- ity control problem in cataloging by hiring more catalogers, or even paying highly qualified nonprofessional staff more money to do specialized cataloging work. keywords: cataloging; false; true cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15554.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15554.txt item: #5028 of 6666 id: crl-15555 author: Boyer, Larry M. title: Brown, Carol R.

LC 00-055178. date: 2002-09-01 words: 2652 flesch: 49 summary: In the introduction to this collection of es- says on the relationship between typog- raphy and the content and meaning of printed texts, editors Paul C. Gutjahr and Megan L. Benton argue that “the ethic of typographic invisibility” has prevailed in Western bookmaking since the time of Gutenberg. Typography is primarily a visual art; and perhaps if li- brarians attended to traditional uses of ty- pography in printed books, they might learn more from the objects that surround them in their daily work and even learn to apply that learning to the way readers in- teract with words, both in print and online.—Cecile M.

According to Glogoff, rather than being driven by tech- nology, library leaders can be the drivers if they use organizational structures that invite new ideas and promote adaptability. keywords: false; information; leadership; library; true cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15558.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15558.txt item: #5032 of 6666 id: crl-15559 author: Ruppel, Margie title: The Role and Impact of the Internet on Library and Information Services.

Tacking back and forth between the ACRL Stan- dards and the English 102 objectives, as well as mining their own experiences with student research (including their own college research experiences), the authors drafted a matrix-style rubric that divided each of these categories, which they called Relevance, Credibility, and Engagement, into three qualities they hoped to see in successful papers and as- signed a numerical value to each of four degrees of success they thought it would be possible to identify. keywords: authors; english; library; program; research; sources; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15564.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15564.txt item: #5038 of 6666 id: crl-15565 author: Dilevko, Juris; Atkinson, Esther title: Evaluating Academic Journals without Impact Factors for Collection Management Decisions date: 2002-11-01 words: 9050 flesch: 49 summary: Any choices of this kind are necessarily based on such issues as time constraints, staff availability to carry out the proce- dures, and the degree to which the insti- tution is committed to ensuring that nonranked journals are given the same consideration as ranked journals. Yet, when libraries do use JCR to evaluate journals in their collections, it is often the case that “the journals one wishes to evaluate may not be contained in the JCR.”15 For example, of the approxi- mately 126,000 scientific journals pub- lished worldwide, the JCR Science Edi- tion covers only about 5,700 of them.16,17 Faced with the fact that many of the jour- nals in their collections, or journals they may wish to purchase for their collections, are not part of JCR and therefore cannot easily be compared with ranked journals in the same field, collection management librarians may not be properly evaluat- ing such journals for selection and de-se- lection purposes. keywords: annals; articles; citation; factor; impact; journal; research cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15565.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15565.txt item: #5039 of 6666 id: crl-15566 author: Henige, David title: Collecting and Safeguarding the Oral Traditions: An International Conference.

To answer this research question, the following survey questions were used as the basis for evaluating student library use behavior: • Survey question 4, “During a se- mester, how often do you visit a library to complete course-related assignments?” • Survey question 5, “When you do visit a library, which library do you visit most often to complete course-related as- signments?” • Survey question 6, “Please rank the quality of library services and materials in the library you visit most often.” Trends in Distant Student Use of Electronic Resources: A Survey 179 Sixty-six percent of respondents re- ported they “seldom” or “never” visited a library versus 32 percent who reported they “frequently” or “often” used a li- brary.

Maughan states, “to establish a baseline of student skills around which an information literacy program might be built; to assess the effectiveness of particu- lar library instruction sessions or ap- proaches to instruction; to determine the impact of library instruction programs on student information literacy skills and academic success; and to generate data with which to communicate with fac- ulty.” keywords: assessment; information; information literacy; learning; library; literacy; outcomes; student cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15628.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15628.txt item: #5101 of 6666 id: crl-15629 author: Macklin, Alexius Smith title: Theory into Practice: Applying David Jonassen’s Work in Instructional Design to Instruction Programs in Academic Libraries date: 2003-11-01 words: 3930 flesch: 46 summary: There are many types of problem situ- ations.

Both comparisons reveal that frequen­ cies of all searches (figure 3) as well as no- hits searches (figure 4) across the five types of search indexes were quite similar, thereby suggesting that the sample week was not atypical of searching done over the full year. keywords: catalog; hits; hits searches; lcsh; library; online; records; searches; searching; study; subject; users cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15640.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15640.txt item: #5113 of 6666 id: crl-15641 author: Dilevko, Juris; Dali, Keren title: Reviews of Independent Press Books in Counterpoise and Other Publications date: 2004-01-01 words: 10276 flesch: 57 summary: For instance, within category B, Lambda Book Report (39) and Women’s Re­ view of Books (26) reviewed Counterpoise- reviewed titles most frequently, followed by the New York Times Book Review (23) and 62 College & Research Libraries January 2004 World Literature Can any patterns be detected with regard to the Counterpoise-reviewed titles that also are frequently reviewed in popu­ lar and academic publications but are not reviewed in review publications com­ monly used by library professionals? keywords: books; category; counterpoise; library; press; publications; reviewing; reviews; states; table; titles; united cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15641.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15641.txt item: #5114 of 6666 id: crl-15642 author: Veaner, Allen B. title: Bok, Derek.

When that effort failed, Columbia filed new patent claims that would have guaranteed it seventeen more years of a multimillion­dollar income.1 Many universities have gained great wealth by allying themselves with the commercial sector, licensing their patents or otherwise associating themselves with large­scale industries.2 Although modern American universities may not all be ex­ actly rolling in money, many have found ways to tap wealth undreamed of only a generation ago. keywords: academic; bok; higher; universities; university cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15642.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15642.txt item: #5115 of 6666 id: crl-15643 author: Arlen, Shelley title: Charleston Conference Proceedings 2001.

Of special relevance to librar­ ians is the author ’s view that even the “smallest preservation and curatorial insti­ tutions” have a role to play in a future na­ tionally organized digital preservation in­ frastructure, but that there will not be a need to replicate full-scale digital preservation activities at each and every node in that in­ frastructure because many functions will be most efficiently consolidated in a number of regional repositories, parts of a national distributed network. keywords: digital; new; scholarship; smith cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15647.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15647.txt item: #5120 of 6666 id: crl-15648 author: Small, Ruth V.; Zakaria, Nasriah; El-Figuigui, Houria title: Motivational Aspects of Information Literacy Skills Instruction in Community College Libraries date: 2004-03-01 words: 12784 flesch: 52 summary: In a study that investigated which fac­ tors college students considered to be most effective in avoiding and causing boredom, Small, Dodge, and Jiang found that stu­ dents perceived their instructors to be the primary source of their learning interest and boredom.27 The factors students con­ sidered most likely to cause learning bore­ dom were a dry, monotone delivery style; repetition of information students already knew; the presentation of irrelevant infor­ mation; and a lack of variety of teaching methods.

This study looks at articles in four disciplines at varying stages of adoption of open access—philosophy, political science, electrical and electronic engineering and mathematics—to see whether they have a greater im- pact as measured by citations in the ISI Web of Science database when their authors make them freely available on the Internet. keywords: access; articles; available; impact; journals; online; open; research cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15683.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15683.txt item: #5156 of 6666 id: crl-15684 author: Joswick, Kathleen E.; Bauerly, Ronald J.; Johnson, Don T. title: Assessing Marketing Literature: A Study of the Readings Assigned in Doctoral Seminars in Marketing date: 2004-09-01 words: 7210 flesch: 54 summary: Robert H.

Kohl and C.H. Davis’s study was considered to be high among the ARL di- rectors and deans, it appears that journal prestige for the ARL directors is similar to that of the practicing physical science librarians in the present study and may be influenced more by a journal’s applicabil- ity to practice than by the publication of original research.28 Indeed, Mary T. Kim subsequently reported that the deans in Kohl and Davis’s study placed a higher value on research-oriented publications, but the ARL directors preferred a mix of research-practitioner journals.29 Similar to the physical science librarians’ data pre- sented here, Kim also found that for ARL directors, citation factors did not influence prestige rating for the highly rated prac- titioner-oriented journals.30 In contrast, however, she did find that citation factors for research journals were correlated with the journal prestige rankings of both ARL directors and deans.31 The preferred library and information studies journals publish virtually equal proportions of research and nonresearch articles, with the majority of research articles being reports of qualitative surveys without statistical analysis. keywords: articles; information; journals; librarians; library; physical; physical science; research; science cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15727.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15727.txt item: #5199 of 6666 id: crl-15728 author: Heinrichs, John H.; Sharkey, Thomas; Lim, Jeen-Su title: Relative Influence of the LibQUAL+™ Dimensions on Satisfaction: A Subgroup Analysis date: 2005-05-01 words: 8521 flesch: 62 summary: In addition, this study evaluates whether the relationship between these four dimensions and user satisfaction varies by various user characteristics including electronic usage, library usage, gender, and academic group.

Not only are these examples of important trends in the social use of information and communications tech- nologies that connect well to both Freud’s concern for the human condition and Rawls’s theory on social justice, they are likely to be among the more contentious challenges to federal telecommunications and information policy. keywords: digital; issues; policy; reference cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15744.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15744.txt item: #5216 of 6666 id: crl-15745 author: Rhodes, Kelly C. title: Digital versus Non-Digital Reference: Ask a Librarian Online and Offline.

Further, citation checking of research documents and comparison of those citations with the availability of materials in a local collection offers an unobtrusive and cost-effective method of evaluating that collection’s ability to support research.2,3 As Smith’s and Robert N. Broadus’s literature reviews noted, citation check- ing is a time-honored and well-studied method for determining the usefulness of collections.4,5 It is part of a broad category known as citation studies, defined by Paul H. Mosher as “any specific methodologies that use source citations or references drawn from the scholarly apparatus of articles and books as the basis for manipu- lation, research, and study.”6 keywords: bibliographies; citations; journal; library; percent; research; study; undergraduate cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15748.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15748.txt item: #5220 of 6666 id: crl-15749 author: Beall, Jeffrey; Kafadar, Karen title: The Proportion of NUC Pre-56 Titles Represented in OCLC WorldCat date: 2005-09-01 words: 2511 flesch: 66 summary: The authors therefore prepared a list (using the R so ware) for each volume of 30 (page number, column number, record number) triples, where they randomly selected “page number” from the numbers {1, 2, …, 694}, randomly selected “column number” from the num- bers {1,2,3}, and randomly selected “record number” from the numbers (1,2, …, 7).

In November of 2002, the Association of College & Research Li- braries’ (ACRL) Focus on the Future Task Force identified recruitment, education, and retention of librarians as core issues facing academic libraries.1 Fewer quali- fied individuals are seeking positions in academic libraries, which has led to shal- lower pools of applicants with advanced subject skills.2 Moreover, many academic libraries are also increasingly having difficulty recruiting librarians who pos- sess the foreign language expertise that academic institutions seek.3 In 2002, keywords: academic; fellowship; graduate; libraries; library; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15834.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15834.txt item: #5306 of 6666 id: crl-15835 author: Nash, Katie title: Gordon, Rachel Singer.

Specifically, whereas critical thinking disposition is positively related to performance in academic-re- lated activities,33 library anxiety is nega- tively associated with academic-related achievements, such as research proposal writing,34,35 grade point average,36 and performance in research methodology courses.37,38 Moreover, Anthony Onwuegbuzie, Qun Jiao, and Sharon Bostick suggested that library anxiety hinders information search performance by impeding stu- dents’ ability to receive, to concentrate on, and to encode information necessary for the research proposal writing pro- cess.39 They explained this phenomenon by speculating that library anxiety may create cognitive interference by causing the students to shi from task-relevant to task-irrelevant thoughts. keywords: anxiety; critical; critical thinking; library; library anxiety; students; thinking cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15868.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15868.txt item: #5339 of 6666 id: crl-15869 author: Nash, Katie title: Bosmajian, Haig.

They also reported that, as libraries and librarians acquire more experience with electronic resources and digital projects, more functional areas throughout the institution are involved.27 Therefore, not only does the progression of technology seem to be introducing more opportuni- ties for project-based work in libraries, but the increased complexity caused by a project’s need for expertise from multiple departments leads to an increased need for project management skills in modern librarian jobs. keywords: ads; job; management; manager; project; project management; skills cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15880.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15880.txt item: #5351 of 6666 id: crl-15881 author: Quintana, Isabel del Carmen title: Baca, Murtha, et al.

Librarian involvement with FYE programs (and with fi rst-year student instruction more broadly) has been documented many times, but this collection represents the most substan- tial attempt to bring discussions of the academic library as a “critical and central learning environment of undergraduate education in the United States” into the mainstream literature of higher educa- tion. keywords: fye; information cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15907.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15907.txt item: #5378 of 6666 id: crl-15908 author: Kocen, Leila; Collins, John title: Youth Information-Seeking Behavior II: Context, Theories, Models and Issues.

Although there has been recognition of a range of different types of library evaluation, and increasing sophistication in the actual tools of evaluation, there has been insufficient attention to how library evaluation can be integrated into the library as a continuing planning and responding process.13 That is, evaluation should ideally be a built-in process, con- http:process.13 http:sustained.12 http:achieved.11 38 College & Research Libraries January 2008 ducted by the library itself. keywords: learning; libraries; library; organizational; organizational learning; staff cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15911.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15911.txt item: #5382 of 6666 id: crl-15912 author: Walter, Scott title: Librarians as Teachers: A Qualitative Inquiry into Professional Identity date: 2008-01-01 words: 12592 flesch: 36 summary: Drawing both on the idea of teacher identity from the literature of teacher education and on existing studies of professional stereotypes and professional identity development among academic librarians, this study explores the degree to which academic librarians think of themselves as teachers, the ways in which teaching has become a feature of their professional identity, and the factors that may influence academic librarians to adopt a “teacher identity” as part of their personal understandings of their role on campus. Drawing on the literature of profes- sional education and professional identity among academic librarians as well as the literature of teacher education, this study will explore the ways in which academic librarians are introduced to teaching as part of their professional work, the degree to which academic librarians think of themselves as teachers, the ways in which being a teacher has become a significant feature of their professional identity, and the factors that may influence an academ- ic librarian to adopt a “teacher identity” as part of his or her understanding of the librarian’s role on campus. keywords: academic; academic librarians; education; identity; instruction; instruction librarians; librarians; library; professional; research; teacher; teaching cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15912.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15912.txt item: #5383 of 6666 id: crl-15913 author: Vallmitjana, Núria; Sabaté, L.

LC 2007-13558. date: 2008-09-01 words: 2015 flesch: 55 summary: The sub- sequent five chapters discuss the structure of FRAD and its relation to FRBR; FRBR, and the history of cataloging (this chapter, by William Denton, is a delightful and in- formative read that provides a broad per- spective on the history of the organization of bibliographic information); the history of FRBR research and its impact on the further development thereof; the concept of “bibliographic families” as groups of related works; and—the most direct area of professional concern—the incorporation of FRBR concepts into the new cataloging code now being developed: RDA (Re- source Description and Access). Alexander C. Thur- man notes that FRBR would have to be a supplement to archival control as exhibited in finding aids or collection- level MARC records, as FRBR concepts cannot sufficiently represent the collec- tion, which is the “central unit of archival organization.” keywords: cataloging; frbr; libraries cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15964.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15964.txt item: #5432 of 6666 id: crl-15965 author: Ryan, Michael title: William H.

Ideally, working with the client takes marketing concepts far beyond the boundaries of a textbook and provides students a realistic context5 and can help them develop problem-solving and team­ work skills that they will continue to use after graduation.6 While valuing the benefits of experi­ ential learning, educators also recognize the difficulty of engaging students en ­ rolled in lower-level marketing courses in a practical marketing experience when Collaboration between Marketing Students and the Library 111 those students typically lack a firm grasp of marketing concepts.7 One common way to overcome this obstacle is to find a client accustomed to volunteers without formal training, such as not-for-profit organizations (NPOs). keywords: ames; librarians; library; marketing; reference; reference services; services; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15993.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15993.txt item: #5460 of 6666 id: crl-15994 author: Miller, Jonathan title: “Publishers Did Not Take the Bait”: A Forgotten Precursor to the NIH Public Access Policy date: 2009-03-01 words: 5771 flesch: 51 summary: In the 1960s, copyright policy was a rela- tively arcane area of the law of interest to content industries like publishing, film, ra- dio, television, education, and the nascent information industry. “Publishers Did Not Take the Bait”: A Forgotten Precursor to the NIH Public Access Policy Jonathan Miller This article compares the recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy (2005–07) with the United States Office of Education policy on copyright in funded research (1965–70). keywords: access; copyright; nih; policy; public; research; usoe cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-15994.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-15994.txt item: #5461 of 6666 id: crl-15995 author: Feldmann, Louise Mort title: Information Desk Referrals: Implementing an Office Statistics Database date: 2009-03-01 words: 3676 flesch: 42 summary: To gather statistics and track the success of this new service, the College Liaison Librarians, formerly known as Subject Librarians, implemented an office statistics database to record and track referrals received in their offices from Information Desk staff.

Beaver); citation selection appears to be random (for example, it includes Rory Kennedy’s book American Hollow but neither the video documentary upon which it was based nor the extensive “roundtable” discussion it received in Appalachian Journal); it includes mate- rial that is from areas not included in ARC’s or any other previous definition of the region (one example being Louisa County, Virginia, to the east of Appala- chia and Williamson County, Tennessee, to its west); articles are misclassified (for example, folklorist Richard Blaustein’s article on musician Clint Howard is under Appalachian Studies rather than Music); the subject index was apparently computer generated and egregiously in- adequate; and various publications such as the Encyclopedia of Appalachia and three special Appalachian issues of the Black Music Research Journal (full disclosure: I served as guest editor of the latter) were sampled without an explanation of why some articles were included and oth- ers were not (for instance, included are Pearson’s article on Appalachian blues, Higby and Wright’s on Appalachian jazz, Lightfoot’s on white blues but not Zol- ten’s on Appalachian R&B, Davenport’s on great blues singer/poet Ida Cox, or Hay’s on the Appalachian roots of James Brown’s music). keywords: appalachian; bibliography; book; lincoln cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16036.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16036.txt item: #5503 of 6666 id: crl-16037 author: Hunter, David title: Music and the Book Trade from the Sixteenth to the Twentieth Century.

Senf describes bringing her undergraduate Victorian studies class to the Special Collections Department as a means to encourage students move beyond their tendency to use “already digested” secondary sources that were often chosen without much thought.5 Senf also notes that archival sources can dramatically reduce plagiarism, since their individual nature means that sec- ondary sources defining and analyzing a particular document are less likely to exist.6 Additional benefits of course proj- ects conducted in the Special Collections, as detailed by history professor Marian J. Matyn, are an increase in the confidence level of student research and papers that are better informed and more engaging.7 In contrast to these testimonies, Kath- leen D. Roe writes, “The general lack of understanding of archives is painfully evident to the archival profession.”8 The following statements extracted from student papers aim to show a variety of the student observations and sentiments without being redundant. keywords: archives; collections; materials; research; sources; special; students; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16058.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16058.txt item: #5525 of 6666 id: crl-16059 author: Malenfant, Kara J. title: Leading Change in the System of Scholarly Communication: A Case Study of Engaging Liaison Librarians for Outreach to Faculty date: 2010-01-01 words: 8172 flesch: 52 summary: While the framework identifies roles and responsibilities in nine Leading Change in the System of Scholarly Communication 69 areas, those for scholarly communication are the following: • educate and inform faculty, gradu- ate students, and campus administrators about scholarly communication issues.

For example, a source lists Africa Hamlin of Pembroke, Massachusetts, as a possible African American soldier; later research revealed that he was of European descent and had siblings named Asia, Europe, and America. keywords: african; american cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16101.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16101.txt item: #5568 of 6666 id: crl-16102 author: Daniels, Tim title: Robert Allan.

It is noted that we know far more about authors and contributors than about any other type of IR user.31 In an earlier study, it was discovered that, although nearly half of the surveyed IR managers reported gathering user counts to assess the success of their IR, just 10 percent stated that they had interviewed their users and only 4 percent stated that they had surveyed their users.32 We do not know where IR end-users are coming from, how they find the IR, what they look for in the IR, and how they use the IR functionality available.33 We also do not know who end-users are, how they are using IR content, and how satisfied they are with the quality of IR content.34 keywords: content; end; information; institutional; interviewee; irs; university; users cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16130.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16130.txt item: #5597 of 6666 id: crl-16131 author: Brown, Christopher C. title: Knowing Where They Went: Six Years of Online Access Statistics via the Online Catalog for Federal Government Information date: 2011-01-01 words: 9274 flesch: 53 summary: A publication comparing online access with print circulation is forthcom- ing.19 Brigham Young University – Idaho (Rexburg) also appends a prefix before document URLs and uses these numbers to get an overall feel for how many docu- ments are being accessed.20 At the 2009 Fall Depository Library Conference, a panel presentation featured the clickthrough projects of the University of Denver, San Jose State University, Auburn University, Louisiana State University, Brigham Young University – Idaho, and the University of Colorado at Boulder.21 In mid-2009, Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, began track- ing online clickthroughs to government documents in their online catalog.22 Since October 2000, the GPO has been providing a URL tracking system of sorts.23 This service allows depository libraries to register Internet subdomains from which online links to PURLs within GPO Access resources originate (such as Web sites, research guides, and library online catalogs).

NL015366895. date: 2011-01-01 words: 623 flesch: 45 summary: Even though the history, sociology, and information science departments could no doubt use a systematic examination of information policies from either the historiography or methodological frame- works, Information Policies and Strategies will likely only benefit academic libraries that support library science programs, where information professionals can use it as a catalyst for developing concrete studies of how information policies are developed.—Timothy Hensley, Virginia Holocaust Museum. Despite this omission, he begins with a brief survey of how information has contributed to, and even shaped, our society and uses this position as a backdrop of assumptions for the remainder of the book, attempting to demonstrate how each of the forthcoming areas he investigates influences the way in which we handle information policies. keywords: information cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16135.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16135.txt item: #5602 of 6666 id: crl-16136 author: Lum, Raymond title: Diane E.

LC2009-048167. date: 2011-01-01 words: 1827 flesch: 41 summary: Peters addresses the crux of her thesis, thus: “The educational, linguistic, and cultural barriers that have been long recognized in the literature on international students and libraries remain important considerations, but cur- rent literature also raises new questions about what international students expect from North American libraries, the library skills they bring with them from home countries, and ways in which librarians should respond.” Similarly, international visits and library exchanges are noted as means to enhance librarians’ knowledge of the aca- demic and social environments in which international students functioned before beginning their study abroad. keywords: information; librarians; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16136.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16136.txt item: #5603 of 6666 id: crl-16137 author: McBride, Kelly R. title: Lori Mestre.

LC2009-047658. date: 2011-01-01 words: 1203 flesch: 44 summary: The book is divided into ten chapters, and, through the use of surveys, interviews, and other relevant sources, Mestre interweaves both quantitative and qualitative data to provide a framework for the discussion of the education, training, experiences, and strategies employed by librarians and libraries in their pursuit of diversity efforts. The author indicates that job descriptions for these types of positions can be sweeping in the list of responsibilities that need to be performed and often presume a level of foundational knowledge regarding diversity efforts. keywords: diversity; librarians cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16137.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16137.txt item: #5604 of 6666 id: crl-16138 author: Simons, Marcy title: Advocacy, Outreach, and the Nation’s Academic Libraries: A Call for Action.

In it, the Pope acknowledges a deep-seated sociocultural anxiety about the new technology of printing, stating that, although the reading of books can be a profitable pursuit for those seeking knowledge and the invention of printing has helped spread truth and learning more widely and inexpensively than ever before, the very same technology that en- ables the dissemination of truth also facili- tates the transmission and perpetuation of pernicious error that corrupts rather than edifies the reader. keywords: book; history; libraries; library cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16159.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16159.txt item: #5626 of 6666 id: crl-16160 author: Johnson, Eric J. title: The History of the Book in the West: A Library of Critical Essays.

Flood’s look at the rise and decline of the Frankfurt Fair and its impact on the commercial distribution of books across Europe during the Early Modern period; and Ian Maclean’s informative analysis of the market for scholarly books in northern Europe between 1570 and 1630. Although each of these respective periods encompasses a wide range of differences between, and developments in, the way books were manufactured, distributed, and con- sumed, both volumes prioritize the same basic themes: the physical production of books; their “look” and textual layout and how these factors affected their use; the cultural impact of books—whether manuscript or printed—as material objects; economic processes of textual dissemination; and, finally, processes and practices of book consumption. keywords: books; new; printing; production; volume cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16160.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16160.txt item: #5627 of 6666 id: crl-16161 author: Mitchell, W.

Most researchers have concluded that method of delivery (F2F vs. online vs. mixed) appears not to greatly impact the effectiveness of or satisfaction with LI, indicating that properly planned and executed online LI activities can be suit- able adjuncts or substitutes for F2F LI.14 Research in all of the above areas is vital to the continued success of academic libraries, especially in a higher education environment where accountability and assessment are increasingly important.15 There can be no doubt that academic librarians need to continue to explore issues of user satisfaction, the measure- ment and benchmarking of information literacy skills, and the effectiveness and perception of various forms of LI. keywords: activities; instruction; libraries; library; online; reporting; research; statistics cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16204.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16204.txt item: #5670 of 6666 id: crl-16205 author: Kayongo, Jessica; Helm, Clarence title: Relevance of Library Collections for Graduate Student Research: A Citation Analysis Study of Doctoral Dissertations at Notre Dame date: 2012-01-01 words: 10056 flesch: 59 summary: A previous study of graduate students at Notre Dame found that students identified materials relevant to their research by searching a database or reading an article or book and that, if the library did not own an item, 64 per- TABLe 10 Hesburgh Libraries’ Ownership of Cited items by Disciplinary group* group Citations Owned % Owned % Top 1,000 Cited items Owned ** Arts and Humanities 10,818 7,297 63 90 Engineering 7,032 4,395 67 83 Science 5,369 4,093 76 92 Social Sciences 5,185 3,378 65 75 Overall 27,652 18,461 67 93 * % 3% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 1% 2, 02 5 A ve ra ge fo r Sc ie nc e* 78 % keywords: analysis; citation; dissertations; graduate; journal; library; science; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16205.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16205.txt item: #5671 of 6666 id: crl-16206 author: Gaffney, Megan title: Interlibrary Loan Requests for Locally Available Materials: WorldCat Local’s Impact date: 2012-01-01 words: 5622 flesch: 49 summary: Examining data on ILL requests for locally owned titles is an invaluable way to evaluate how well researchers are finding materials in their own library and how well library interfaces are assisting them in locating what they need.

In passing, it might be noted that the 2010–2012 stra- tegic plan of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL), the lead- ership organization for the Canadian research library community, calls on the Association to “work to develop research skills in research libraries and to promote evidence-based librarianship”; and, more recently, CARL published a new model “Core Competencies for 21st Century CARL Librarians,” which addresses re- search and professional contributions as a key component of practitioner expertise.3 Vicki Williamson (2010) undertook an informal questionnaire survey of academ- ic librarians’ faculty status and publishing requirements within the 29 members of CARL.4 keywords: academic; faculty; knowledge; librarians; library; research; saskatchewan; scholarly; survey; university cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16217.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16217.txt item: #5683 of 6666 id: crl-16218 author: Manning, Mary; Silva, Judy title: Dual Archivist/Librarians: Balancing the Benefits and Challenges of Diverse Responsibilities date: 2012-03-01 words: 8935 flesch: 37 summary: q 0%–20% q 21%–40% q 41%–60% q 61%–80% q 81%–100% Comments (optional): 13. q 0%–20% q 21%–40% q 41%–60% q 61%–80% q 81%–100% Comments (optional) 14. keywords: archival; archives; archivist; dual; librarians; library; nonarchival; responsibilities cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16218.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16218.txt item: #5684 of 6666 id: crl-16219 author: Nariani, Rajiv; Fernandez, Leila title: Open Access Publishing: What Authors Want date: 2012-03-01 words: 7177 flesch: 52 summary: By subsidizing article processing fees for OA journals, univer- sities and funding agencies can provide equitable support for the business model for open access journals.

Our focus on academic librarians was also supported; Luo notes, “Academic librarians were more motivated than Academic Librarian Research 439 public librarians in pursing knowledge in research methods via continuing educa- tion, and those who engaged in research at work were more interested in continu- ing education opportunities than those who did not.”17 Institute for Research Design in Librarianship The purpose of conducting this study was to find ways in which the research- ers might support academic librarians in their efforts to conduct research and dis- seminate the results. keywords: academic; librarians; library; lis; research; survey cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16252.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16252.txt item: #5718 of 6666 id: crl-16253 author: Regazzi, John J. title: Constrained?

These concerns were voiced nearly 30 years ago with the “serials crisis” and the effects that high journal prices were having on the overall fiscal capabilities of academic libraries. keywords: academic; libraries; library cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16253.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16253.txt item: #5719 of 6666 id: crl-16254 author: Fischer, Karen S.; Wright, Michael; Clatanoff, Kathleen; Barton, Hope; Shreeves, Edward title: Give ’Em What They Want: A One-Year Study of Unmediated Patron-Driven Acquisition of e-Books date: 2012-09-01 words: 10326 flesch: 49 summary: Table 2 Publishers Purchased on PDa Sorted by Titles Purchased Publisher Titles Purchased Total Uses average Use per Publisher Taylor and Francis 211 758 3.6 Elsevier* 184 1,309 7.1 Wiley* 83 347 4.2 Cambridge University Press 60 246 4.1 McGraw-Hill 53 942 17.8 Oxford University Press 53 332 6.3 Guilford Press 46 430 9.3 Palgrave Macmillan 32 145 4.5 Sage 23 107 4.7 Princeton University Press 14 134 9.6 Duke University Press 12 69 5.8 Brill 12 66 5.5 Ashgate 11 37 3.4 University of Minnesota Press 10 114 11.4 AMACOM 8 104 13.0 University of Chicago Press 7 27 3.9 MIT Press 6 23 3.8 Continuum International Publishing 5 66 13.2 Emerald 5 14 2.8 Zed Books 5 9 1.8 University of North Carolina Press 2 13 6.5 University of Toronto Press 2 4 2.0 ME When the profile was scaled back at the end of December Table 3 Publishers Purchased on PDa, Sorted by average Use per Publisher Publisher Titles Purchased Total Uses average Use per Publisher McGraw-Hill 53 942 17.8 Continuum International Publishing 5 66 13.2 AMACOM 8 104 13.0 ME Sharpe 1 13 13.0 University of Minnesota Press 10 114 11.4 Louisiana State University Press 1 11 11.0 Princeton University Press 14 134 9.6 Guilford Press 46 430 9.3 Elsevier* 184 1,309 7.1 University of North Carolina Press 2 13 6.5 Oxford University Press 53 332 6.3 Duke University Press 12 69 5.8 Brill 12 66 5.5 Sage 23 107 4.7 Palgrave Macmillan 32 145 4.5 Wiley* 83 347 4.2 Cambridge University Press 60 246 4.1 University of Chicago Press 7 27 3.9 MIT Press 6 23 3.8 Taylor and Francis 211 758 3.6 Ashgate 11 37 3.4 Springer 1 3 3.0 University of Michigan Press 1 3 3.0 Emerald 5 14 2.8 University of Toronto Press 2 4 2.0 CABI Publishing 1 2 2.0 Zed Books 5 9 1.8 IGI Global 1 1 1.0 Total 850 5,329 6.3 *Elsevier and Wiley were blocked from profile in Feb 2010 because of consortial deals. keywords: books; collection; ebrary; libraries; pda; press; print; sessions; table; titles; university; user cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16254.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16254.txt item: #5720 of 6666 id: crl-16255 author: Lewis, David W. title: The Inevitability of Open Access date: 2012-09-01 words: 8060 flesch: 56 summary: For the reader, open access journals have a clear advantage.

The lack of quan- tifiable detail about library theft extends from information regarding the items that are reported missing (leaving aside the volumes and artifacts that are never discovered or publicized as stolen) to in- formation about other aspects of the theft. keywords: collections; insider; libraries; library; special; theft; value cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16266.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16266.txt item: #5732 of 6666 id: crl-16267 author: Kellsey, Charlene; Knievel, Jennifer title: Overlap between Humanities Faculty Citation and Library Monograph Collections, 2004–2009 date: 2012-11-01 words: 7515 flesch: 56 summary: The overall average does not tell the entire story, though, since considerable variation was found among the four FIGURE 4 Cited Books by Discipline, Represented or Not Represented in Chinook, the Local ILS (N=5,611) 81% 67% 84% 72% 19% 33% 16% 28% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Philosophy Classics English History In Chinook Not in Chinook FIGURE 5 Percentage of Owned Books Acquired Via an Approval Plan Versus Direct (Firm) Ordering by Discipline (N=1,217)* 84% 72% 86% 80% 16% 28% 14% 20% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Philosophy Classics English History Approval Firm *Calculated as a percentage of books for which ordering information was available (21% of total citations) Overlap between Humanities Faculty Citation and Library Monograph Collections 577 fields examined.

LC 2012-010910. date: 2013-07-01 words: 1241 flesch: 47 summary: After a brief introduction to RDA and how it relates to FRAD, Jin provides 18 examples of brief RDA authority records, each with an explanation of how they use the FRAD concepts to describe and clarify entities and their relationships to other entities: while the structure of an RDA authority record is, at root, similar to that of an AACR2 authority record, RDA (and the FRAD structure) allows for greater levels of description and for clearer delineation of the relationships between concepts. Jin states, in her introduction, that the book is to “provide a basic explanation of the Functional Requirements for Author- ity Data (FRAD)”; she goes above and beyond this statement of principles in a clearly written, copiously illustrated, and well-organized book that truly does “demystify” FRAD and illustrates how to create authority records according to the principles thereof. keywords: authority; frad cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16320.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16320.txt item: #5785 of 6666 id: crl-16321 author: Dickey, Timothy J. title: W.

It has been six years since the Asso- ciation advanced its “Research Agenda for Scholarly Communication,” which included the call to promote research in ar- eas such as authorship, value metrics, and the adoption of successful innovations.2 As a print publication, C&RL provided a venue for disseminating the results of such research, including Malenfant’s study of scholarly communications services as an emergent component of the core respon- sibilities of liaison librarians, Nariani and Fernadez’s study of the factors influencing Endings and Beginnings authors’ decisions to publish (or to avoid publishing) in open access journals, and Walters and Linvill’s study of the characteristics of open ac- cess journals.3 Most recently, a study by Ramirez et. keywords: october; research cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16335.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16335.txt item: #5800 of 6666 id: crl-16336 author: Francis, Mary title: Peer Reviewers of Academic Journals: Who Is Responsible for Our Professional Literature date: 2013-11-01 words: 4969 flesch: 57 summary: This article will take a look at this group of peer reviewers, to provide demographic data as well as understanding for the reasons individuals take on the duty of peer reviewer.

A peer can talk with students about relationship violence, parking tickets, study skills, self-advocacy, library resources, and mo- tivating a resistant student organization, in ways even the most knowledgeable professionals cannot.”2 Academic libraries would be remiss in not seeking to harness peer learning dynamics to enhance student learning and success. keywords: information; instruction; learning; library; peer; peer reference; program; reference; research; sessions; students; undergraduates cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16356.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16356.txt item: #5821 of 6666 id: crl-16357 author: Scarletto, Edith A. title: Mapping the Literature of GIS date: 2014-03-01 words: 9982 flesch: 49 summary: Determining a usable core list of GIS journals is a difficult endeavor and depends heavily on intended purpose of the final list.

Upon review of the empirical literature on the topic, Applegate stated that, while the paucity of relevant literature made it difficult to draw conclusions regarding faculty librarians’ job satisfaction versus that of nonfaculty academic librarians, librarians with faculty status may be less satisfied in key areas.38 Bruce Kingma and Gillian M. McCombs cautioned that librarians with faculty status may be less produc- tive in the areas traditionally associated with academic librarianship because their attention is necessarily diverted to other functions inside the academy.39 Also of concern is the possibility of faculty academic librarians being con- signed to what Danielle Hoggan terms “nominal” faculty status. keywords: academic; academic librarians; academy; college; disciplinary faculty; education; faculty; faculty status; frame; librarians; librarianship; library; library faculty; research; status cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16368.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16368.txt item: #5833 of 6666 id: crl-16369 author: Hazen, Dan title: Researching Library Support for International Studies: Successes to Celebrate, Goal Posts to Move date: 2014-07-01 words: 1856 flesch: 33 summary: For one high-profile example, the following broad recommendations emerged from the “Global Dimensions of Scholarship and Research Libraries: A Forum on the Future” that took place at Duke University in 2012: • Aggressively pursue broad digital access to international information resources; • Internationalize research library services and perspectives; • Broaden and internationalize library collaborations.

However, since there were 36 copies available in various OhioLINK libraries, the average annual per item circulation was only 3.53. keywords: books; circulation; collection; item; libraries; library; ohiolink; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16389.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16389.txt item: #5854 of 6666 id: crl-16390 author: Ramírez, Marisa L.; McMillan, Gail; Dalton, Joan T.; Hanlon, Ann; Smith, Heather S.; Kern, Chelsea title: Do Open Access Electronic Theses and Dissertations Diminish Publishing Opportunities in the Sciences? date: 2014-11-01 words: 6340 flesch: 43 summary: 0.0% Ocean Science 25 10 0.400 3 30.0% Physics 52 21 0.396 –2 6 31.6% Psychology 5 2 0.400 2 100% Transportation 5 2 0.400 0 0.0% Veterinary 4 2 0.500 0 0.0% Total 715 300 — (10) 72 24.8% * % of Respondents by Stratum was calculated by subtracting Out of Scope Respondents from Sample Size and dividing the difference into Respondents by Stratum TABLE 3 Journals by Country of Origin Country # (%) Australia 1 (1%) The current study investigated science journal policies on open access ETDs and found that more than half of the science journals responding (51.4%) reported that manuscripts derived from openly accessible ETDs are welcome for submission and an additional 29.1 percent would accept revised ETDs under certain conditions. keywords: access; etds; journals; research; respondents; science; study cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16390.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16390.txt item: #5855 of 6666 id: crl-16391 author: Ondrusek, Anita L.; Thiele, Harold E.; Yang, Changwoo title: Writing Abstracts for MLIS Research Proposals Using Worked Examples: An Innovative Approach to Teaching the Elements of Research Design date: 2014-11-01 words: 8596 flesch: 44 summary: Zhu and Simon substituted worked examples for lectures and other classroom activities in physics problem-solving among college students with promising results in knowledge acquisition.21 Owen and Sweller found that students learned solutions to algebra problems, made fewer errors, and required less time to solve test problems similar to those presented to them in worked examples.22 In follow-up studies, stu- dent performances demonstrated that the use of worked examples could substitute for extended instruction and practice in solving algebra problems.23 A review of the worked example literature concluded that worked examples “promote the type of flexible transfer that educators are seeking in their classroom[s].”24 The worked examples used in mathematics and science have been described as classical worked examples. Using typical worked examples, the students learn the descriptive elements more readily than the compositional elements, and composition, or rhetorical skills, improve through the confluence of worked examples along with other interventions.42 Improvement of those rhetorical skills appeared not to be amenable to significant change during a short exposure to worked examples. keywords: abstracts; examples; exposure; learning; research; students; study; worked; writing cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16391.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16391.txt item: #5856 of 6666 id: crl-16392 author: Thompson, Cheryl A.; Davenport Robertson, W.; Greenberg, Jane title: Where Have All the Scientific Data Gone?

C&RL has published many excellent studies of information literacy instruction and as- sessment over the past decade, and our IS colleagues are faced with a difficult decision each year choosing one publication from the wealth of journal articles, book chapters, and books produced on this essential subject of study, but it strikes us as notable that not a single study published in C&RL has been selected for this recognition during a decade when the scholarship has blossomed under renewed focus and benefited from new methodologies for research on teaching and learning in libraries. keywords: libraries; library; research cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16397.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16397.txt item: #5862 of 6666 id: crl-16398 author: Bailey, Timothy P.; Scott, Amanda L.; Best, Rickey D. title: Cost Differentials between E-Books and Print in Academic Libraries date: 2015-01-01 words: 7562 flesch: 53 summary: Among these pricing models is the purchase of a collection of e-book titles at a substantial discount.

Exactly how to do this is a practical question of fundamental importance for library educators interested in increasing student learning. keywords: authentic; authenticity; learning; psychology; reference; research; rogers; self; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16399.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16399.txt item: #5864 of 6666 id: crl-16400 author: Fabbi, Jennifer L. title: Fortifying the Pipeline: A Quantitative Exploration of High School Factors Impacting the Information Literacy of First-Year College Students date: 2015-01-01 words: 6349 flesch: 46 summary: Finally, although outside the scope of this study, there is evidence to suggest that the same pedagogies and educational practices recommended for high school students and their development of information literacy competency would continue to benefit them into the college years. Examples of cognitive activities classified as higher order include analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information, constructing arguments, making comparisons, asking research questions, dealing with controversies, and identifying hidden assumptions, all of which draw directly from constructivist learning theory and relate directly to information literacy best practice.11 Several methods have been developed to assess information literacy competency, and they have been classified into the categories of fixed-choice tests, performance assessments, and rubrics.12 Most recently, the Educational Testing Service developed the iSkills assessment to measure ICT literacy. keywords: high; information; iskills; literacy; school; students; study cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16400.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16400.txt item: #5865 of 6666 id: crl-16401 author: Lundrigan, Courtney; Manuel, Kevin; Yan, May title: “Pretty Rad”: Explorations in User Satisfaction with a Discovery Layer at Ryerson University date: 2015-01-01 words: 8674 flesch: 50 summary: They may include, but are not limited to, comparisons between Summon users and those who used other academic search tools, such as Google Scholar or particular databases. q Professor/Instructor q Ryerson University Library q Other Library (Toronto Public, U of T, York U, etc.) keywords: easy; library; research; resources; satisfaction; search; summon; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16401.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16401.txt item: #5866 of 6666 id: crl-16402 author: Kingma, Bruce; McClure, Kathleen title: Lib-Value: Values, Outcomes, and Return on Investment of Academic Libraries, Phase III: ROI of the Syracuse University Library date: 2015-01-01 words: 8260 flesch: 54 summary: This paper adds to the base of empirical research about academic library value, library contribution to institutional outcomes, and assessment using the Lib-Value CV method.

In a study of the effect of professional development workshops on teacher-librarian collaboration, Montiel-Overall and Hernández report that the use of professional de- velopment workshops may be instrumental in affecting changes in perceptions and behaviors as they relate to teacher-librarian interaction and collaboration.21 Ercegovac suggests the fostering of more collaborative partnerships between academic librar- ians and school librarians as a means of providing information literacy instruction to in-service educators.22 Additional research is needed to study the effects of K–12 and postsecondary collaborations and the roles of academic librarians in these projects. keywords: education; educators; habits; information; library; literacy cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16407.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16407.txt item: #5872 of 6666 id: crl-16408 author: Schadl, Suzanne M.; Todeschini, Marina title: Cite Globally, Analyze Locally: Citation Analysis from a Local Latin American Studies Perspective date: 2015-03-01 words: 6960 flesch: 39 summary: Portuguese-Language Book Usage Dissertations from five departments—History, Latin American Studies, Anthropology, Political Science, and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese—include Portuguese- language book citations.

The resonance I felt when I read about library anxiety was powerful: yes, I thought; this is what I’m seeing in my students, who seem over- whelmed by the library, in need of librarians’ help, yet reluctant to approach us. keywords: anxiety; information; library; mellon; research; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16422.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16422.txt item: #5887 of 6666 id: crl-16423 author: Mellon, Constance A. title: Library Anxiety: A Grounded Theory and Its Development date: 2015-03-01 words: 3667 flesch: 55 summary: While we considered it unlikely that composition faculty would radically revise their courses to incorporate more sessions on library use, we began sharing our findings with supportive colleagues in the English department to determine where changes could be made to acknowledge and deal with library anxiety.

Although Quinn concedes that “there are obvious advantages in maintaining a well- organized and efficient work environment,” ultimately, he sees the “bureaucratic, Mc- Donaldized environment” characteristic of academic libraries as a form of irrationality: It is difficult to accomplish much that is innovative. keywords: academic; academic libraries; education; higher; information; libraries; library; mcdonaldization; new; public cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16428.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16428.txt item: #5892 of 6666 id: crl-16429 author: Quinn, Brian title: The McDonaldization of Academic Libraries? date: 2015-03-01 words: 8284 flesch: 43 summary: Many academic libraries use the same vendors, and although particular subject profiles may vary somewhat, the differences often depend more on a particular library’s depth of collecting than on the books themselves.

Storage is also part of the large footprint for graduate students and a key component as they continue to prefer print formats and tend to compile large collections of print and online research materials.13 Graduate students also pay attention to the atmosphere of a space and their sur- roundings. keywords: graduate; graduate students; library; needs; space; students; study; work cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16461.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16461.txt item: #5925 of 6666 id: crl-16462 author: May, Francine; Swabey, Alice title: Using and Experiencing the Academic Library: A Multisite Observational Study of Space and Place date: 2015-09-01 words: 10324 flesch: 54 summary: This study examines how students are using academic library spaces and the role these spaces are playing in the campus community. Other researchers have found that, while in the library, students are likely to engage in both academic and social pursuits, often simultaneously.11 Academic work remains their primary activity, however; Foster found that academic vs. recreational activities happened at a ratio of 6:1 in the library, while Suarez observed that, even with their flirting, chatting, and other social endeavours, students in the library are engaged in academic work most of the time.12 Students have repeatedly indicated that they want library spaces to support both academic and social activities, and these researchers conclude that the library succeeds in fulfilling these disparate roles. keywords: academic; libraries; library; place; spaces; students; study; work cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16462.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16462.txt item: #5926 of 6666 id: crl-16463 author: Detlor, Brian; Ball, Kathryn title: Getting More Value from the LibQUAL+® Survey: The Merits of Qualitative Analysis and Importance-Satisfaction Matrices in Assessing Library Patron Comments date: 2015-09-01 words: 6760 flesch: 39 summary: What was insightful was the need to present coded library comments in a way that Getting More Value from the LibQUAL+® Survey 799 showcased both the importance of coding categories along demographic lines, as well as the extent to which coded comments were positive or negative in tone.

Paper, $42.00 (ISBN 978-0-8389-8740-7). date: 2015-09-01 words: 1200 flesch: 40 summary: Anthropology students, with proper training and back- ground, conducted ethnographic studies of the library to determine their peers’ study patterns; library staff, broken into teams, conducted structured observations of library patrons, while others were part of co-design sessions, allowing various constituen- cies to articulate their thoughts on an ideal library, with the final team interviewing undergraduates, the major users of McKeldin Library. By describing the various students and task forces employed, the volume also shows what academic libraries do best—fostering the interconnectivity and interplay between various disciplines and users—no matter the condition of the building in which we work.—Harlan Greene, College of Charleston Tomas P.

College & Research Libraries has provided a venue for many studies of innovation in academic libraries, both in terms of the application of new technologies to library practice and in terms of the expansion of academic library services into new areas that support the changing landscape of higher education. keywords: academic; innovation; libraries; research cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16472.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16472.txt item: #5935 of 6666 id: crl-16473 author: American Library Association, title: Errata date: 2015-11-01 words: 177 flesch: 17 summary: North Carolina State University Libraries, “Hunt Library Vision,” accessed October 23, 2015, http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/huntlibrary/vision 13.

Perhaps the most notable trend is that all of the interviewees val- ued their mentoring programs for the personal benefits they provided, which suggests that library mentoring programs often have positive professional effects for librarians, regardless of whether they are participating as mentees, mentors, or program facilitators. keywords: librarians; library; mentoring; mentors; new; program; tenure cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16477.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16477.txt item: #5940 of 6666 id: crl-16478 author: Zhang, Qinqin; Goodman, Maren; Xie, Shiyi title: Integrating Library Instruction into the Course Management System for a First-Year Engineering Class: An Evidence-Based Study Measuring the Effectiveness of Blended Learning on Students’ Information Literacy Levels date: 2015-11-01 words: 11113 flesch: 49 summary: We also would like to gather students’ feedback on the library module from a pedagogical perspective to develop best practices of designing online library modules in the future.

Even if the growth in enrollments, alone, was sufficient argument against any concern with the trend to embrace “information” over “libraries” in nam- ing our field, it is an argument that no longer obtains, as enrollment in these programs has seen a steep decline in recent years.7 That decline is one context within which the future of professional education must be considered, and not only in LIS; consider the situation in legal education, which has seen a similar decline in program enrollments and similar concerns about the market for recent graduates.8 Another context to consider in higher education is the growth (and role) of contingent faculty in the academy. keywords: education; faculty; libraries; library cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16486.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16486.txt item: #5949 of 6666 id: crl-16487 author: Yang, Le title: Metadata Effectiveness in Internet Discovery: An Analysis of Digital Collection Metadata Elements and Internet Search Engine Keywords date: 2016-01-01 words: 6243 flesch: 45 summary: This study analyzed digital item metadata and keywords from Internet search engines to learn what metadata elements actually facilitate dis- covery of digital collections through Internet keyword searching and how significantly each metadata element affects the discovery of items in a digital repository.

This lack of transfer connotes a need for translation of these skills from the academic setting to the workplace.1 Previous research on information literacy in the workplace shows that the skills valued by the American Library Association (ALA) are not exactly the same as the skills valued in the workplace.2 Being information literate is a critical factor to success in the information age, and it is necessary to include information literacy skills valued by employers into library instruction curricula for students. keywords: badges; digital; information; information literacy; learning; literacy; q ability; q q; research; skills; survey cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16492.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16492.txt item: #5955 of 6666 id: crl-16493 author: Graziano, Vince title: LGBTQ Collection Assessment: Library Ownership of Resources Cited by Master’s Students date: 2016-01-01 words: 8200 flesch: 46 summary: This denotes a strong working relationship between the library and these important user groups, which Adler stated was key to developing LGBTQ collections that meet the needs of users.36 In years without funding, or when development funds were spent, titles of interest to LGBTQ studies were sent to subject librarians with a request to purchase, a practice recommended by Clarke.37 Librarian requests are normally accepted by other librarians at Concordia. It should be noted that there are no plans to establish a master’s degree in LGBTQ or sexuality studies at Concordia University, but there is sufficient graduate student interest and faculty expertise in LGBTQ studies to justify a collection assessment for this level of research. keywords: citations; collection; journal; lgbtq; library; percent; studies cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16493.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16493.txt item: #5956 of 6666 id: crl-16494 author: Costello, Laura title: Robert J.

What is more, following Jiao and Onwuegbuzie’s recommendations, hiring Aboriginal staff in the library (even if through student positions) might also further alleviate student library anxiety and, if librarians, able to transform the libraries to make them more relevant.31 There are a number of ways in which the PLAS program contributed to the univer- sity as well as the university constituencies’ understanding of the value of the library. keywords: aboriginal; aboriginal students; library; plas program; program; research; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16503.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16503.txt item: #5965 of 6666 id: crl-16504 author: Jones, Phil; Bauder, Julia; Engel, Kevin title: Mixed or Complementary Messages: Making the Most of Unexpected Assessment Results date: 2016-03-01 words: 7402 flesch: 41 summary: The range of sources students in Spanish TABLE 4 Student Responses on Identifying Influential Source Question 2: Influence: “Which single source has most influenced your thinking on the topic?

Literature Review In assessing information literacy skills as learning outcomes, much literature exists that examines why and how academic librarians should establish and improve the contributions that academic libraries make toward student learning.6 Most literature on assessing students’ information literacy skills also focuses on evaluating students engaged in particular disciplines, courses, or assignments,7 prompting Hernon to ask: “Will libraries embrace broader assessment and carve out a role, or will they continue to focus on course-level assessment?”8 Far less literature exists that explicates methods for assessing simultaneously the sufficiency of multiple instructional mechanisms, both inside and outside the library’s purview, in leading students to demonstrate desired information literacy competencies. keywords: assessment; college; information; literacy; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16507.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16507.txt item: #5969 of 6666 id: crl-16508 author: Drabinski, Emily; Walter, Scott title: Asking Questions that Matter date: 2016-05-01 words: 3179 flesch: 39 summary: Methods give librarians the tools with which to answer research questions central both to curiosity and to daily practice, and having an ample toolbox with which to do that work is important. themselves.6 A number of textbooks offer a straightforward introduction to a variety of research methods currently employed in Library and Information Science, as does the American Library Association’s Office for Research and Statistics.7 While this suggests that our field has embraced a broad spectrum of methods in the design of scholarly research, one of the authors recalls a number of questions regarding his decision to employ a qualitative research design in a study published in this journal as recently as 2008, and representation of a variety of perspectives on “what counts as research” continues to present a challenge in the composition of editorial boards and peer reviewer pools in leading journals in our field.8 Concerns about methodology, thus, are complementary to epistemological debates about what counts as knowledge in our field. keywords: field; libraries; library; research cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16508.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16508.txt item: #5970 of 6666 id: crl-16509 author: Swindler, Luke title: New Consortial Model for E-Books Acquisitions date: 2016-05-01 words: 10577 flesch: 38 summary: Second, librarians, publishers, and vendors need to understand and accept the experimental “Wild West” nature of e-books publishing, vending, licensing, pricing, and accessing.

For instance, scholars have provided evidence for the positive associations between college students’ use of academic libraries, fall semester grade point averages, and retention from fall to spring semester.1 These benefits also extend to students’ reten- tion from their first year to their second year of enrollment and to their final first-year cumulative grade point average.2 Similar studies have revealed positive associations between the number of books students borrowed and their grade point average,3 as well as significant relationships between the number of resources held at libraries and students’ development of critical thinking skills.4 keywords: academic; engagement; libraries; students; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16564.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16564.txt item: #6025 of 6666 id: crl-16565 author: Skinner, Julia; Gross, Melissa title: The ISSAS Model: Understanding the Information Needs of Sexual Assault Survivors on College Campuses date: 2017-04-19 words: 6744 flesch: 44 summary: Summary and Conclusions Existing literature in Library and Information Science does not adequately address the information-seeking behaviors and information needs of sexual assault survivors, which is a sizable group of people who often are hesitant to self-identify.

Similar to Gayton’s ideas of library space, Scott Bennett argues that, when designing learning spaces in a library, it is crucial to consider what types of behavior the design will elicit.29 Hannah Bennett’s discussion of library design, as seen through the lens of neuroscience, is intriguing and posits that library space is similar to “productive research environments” in fostering creativity and innovation. keywords: academic; behaviors; creativity; innovation; learning; libraries; library; spaces; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16566.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16566.txt item: #6027 of 6666 id: crl-16567 author: White, Bruce title: Citations and Circulation Counts: Data Sources for Monograph Deselection in Research Library Collections date: 2017-04-19 words: 8209 flesch: 43 summary: The Association of Research Libraries SPEC Kit 337: Print Retention Deci- sion Making noted that “Citation counts are often used as a criterion” in decisions on deselection; but no specific questions on the topic were asked in the survey of American academic libraries—and the technique barely rates a mention in the summary of re- sults—while the use of circulation data is noted in nearly all of the reports.13 She went on, however, to suggest that citation counts had a value in the deselection process independent of usage considerations and that “citation frequency can be used to supplement other measures such as faculty input and frequency of use.” keywords: books; circulation; citation; collection; counts; data; libraries; library; research; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16567.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16567.txt item: #6028 of 6666 id: crl-16568 author: Pitts-Noggle, Stephanie; Rafferty, Ryan title: Investigating Textbook Reserves: A Case Study of Two Models for Reserves Collections date: 2017-04-19 words: 7896 flesch: 54 summary: A 1990 paper by Sommer and Estabrook found that faculty members at four-year institutions sig- nificantly underestimated the cost of textbooks; this had considerable implications for library budgets.5 Further, in 1994, Sayles examined the collection development policies of twenty-seven college libraries and noted that the policies were often contradictory with regard to textbooks, stressing the importance of collecting based on student need while dismissing textbooks as inappropriate for the collection.6 In 2005, Hsieh and Runner conducted a survey and collection development policy analysis that probed into libraries’ practices and policies surrounding the acquisition of textbooks and leisure reading materials.7 Sixty-one percent of respondents reported 68 College & Research Libraries January 2017 that their library had specific “no textbooks” policies, citing budgetary concerns as the primary reason for avoiding the practice and, second, that purchasing textbooks was the students’ responsibility.8 Pilot projects initiated after 2005 in response to these articles and the GAO report have focused on developing textbook reserve collections and services. While broad applicability of the model warrants further investigation, academic libraries may be bet- ter able to meet patron needs by implementing open textbook reserves. s textbook prices have steadily increased, academic libraries have consid- ered what role they might play in mitigating this burdensome expense for students. keywords: collection; library; open; reserves; students; textbooks cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16568.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16568.txt item: #6029 of 6666 id: crl-16569 author: Budd, John M. title: Faculty Publications and Citations: A Longitudinal Examination date: 2017-04-19 words: 4993 flesch: 53 summary: This investigation does demonstrate that there is a considerable amount of com- municative activity taking place among research university faculty.

A Comparative Analysis of Ringer’s 1961 Copyright Renewal Study and HathiTrust CRMS Data date: 2017-04-19 words: 8954 flesch: 52 summary: Estimates of the size of the corpus of public domain books published in the United States from 1923 through 1963 have been inflated by problematic assumptions, and we should be able to correct mistaken conclusions with reasonable effort. U.S. law required compliance with certain rules for works published through most of the 20th century, and many books published in the United States during that period entered the public domain as a consequence of failure to comply with those rules.1 One of those rules, a requirement that the copyright holder for a work published between 1923 and 1963 renew the copyright of the work 28 years after it was published, was the subject of an important Copyright Office study discussed here.2 Many cite this study to suggest that 93 percent of books published in the United States during this period are in the public domain.3 Recent work by the IMLS-funded CRMS project, a HathiTrust project focused on books digitized from research libraries, found a significantly smaller percentage of public domain books for the same period, approximately 50 percent.4 The significant difference in the numbers established by these two efforts is puzzling. keywords: books; copyright; crms; public domain; renewal; ringer; works cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16582.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16582.txt item: #6043 of 6666 id: crl-16583 author: Tracy, Daniel G. title: Libraries as Content Producers: How Library Publishing Services Address the Reading Experience date: 2017-04-19 words: 11349 flesch: 42 summary: LPC now has 66 member institutions and had identified 153 institutions with library publishing services between the two editions of the directory released prior to the survey reported here.

It is recommended that librarians work with faculty to make them aware of students’ lack of understanding of information literacy terms and that librarians also reinforce their meaning during library instruction and in one-on-one consultations. keywords: information; library; literacy; research; students; terms cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16588.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16588.txt item: #6049 of 6666 id: crl-16589 author: Forbes, Carrie; Schlesselman-Tarango, Gina; Keeran, Peggy title: Expanding Support for Graduate Students: Library Workshops on Research Funding Opportunities date: 2017-04-19 words: 8995 flesch: 42 summary: This case study describes the development, implementation, and assess- ment of a series of grants research workshops for graduate students, which were implemented to fill a gap in graduate student support.

In the next stage, OA papers were separated from non-OA ones using “open access” label. keywords: access; apc; countries; model; oa papers; open; scientific; total; total papers cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16602.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16602.txt item: #6063 of 6666 id: crl-16603 author: Jones, Kyle M.L.; Salo, Dorothea title: Learning Analytics and the Academic Library: Professional Ethics Commitments at a Crossroads date: 2018-04-04 words: 11582 flesch: 19 summary: That our values pose ethical dilemmas for us in practice is a good thing and should be welcomed by us: from debating such dilemmas comes strength of mission.”— David McMenemy1 Introduction Higher education institutions (HEIs) are aggregating and analyzing student data, in- formation, and the digital trails they leave in information systems to better understand student behaviors.

While we felt that these two strategies were important to bring our program up to date with successful first-year writing programs across the country, they did not address our two identified weaknesses in student writing with a clear and pointed sense of purpose. keywords: center; collaboration; information; information literacy; instruction; libraries; library; research; students; studio; trilateral; writing cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16609.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16609.txt item: #6070 of 6666 id: crl-16610 author: Faniel, Ixchel M.; Connaway, Lynn Silipigni title: Librarians' Perspectives on the Factors Influencing Research Data Management Programs date: 2018-01-03 words: 10103 flesch: 41 summary: They included: current versus planned RDM services, institutional RDM champions, motivations behind RDM services, librarians’ RDM involvement and the value they brought versus gained, challenges and benefits of helping researchers, suggestions and ideas that would make it easier for librarians to help researchers, and librarians’ perceived confidence that they were helping researchers and meeting needs.

Many print journals have been charging authors page charges to offset the cost of publishing.7 Shen and Björk contended that basic journal practices and elements of article publication, including peer review, have not changed appreciably.8 Because some OA journals charge a fee, despite having no print costs to cover, the practice of OA journals charging fees has opened up debate about questions of qual- ity, and whether authors are simply paying to have their work published (rather than publishing quality work). keywords: access; beall; criteria; information; journals; predatory; publishers cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16614.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16614.txt item: #6074 of 6666 id: crl-16615 author: Kohn, Karen title: Worth the Wait?

This could skew the data toward showing a higher percentage of e-book availability than in the industry as a whole, as they exclude publishers that are not as likely to produce e-books. keywords: books; libraries; library; print; wait cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16615.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16615.txt item: #6075 of 6666 id: crl-16616 author: Tewell, Eamon C. title: The Practice and Promise of Critical Information Literacy: Academic Librarians' Involvement in Critical Library Instruction date: 2018-01-03 words: 14306 flesch: 37 summary: Using a survey and follow-up inter- views with thirteen librarians practicing critical information literacy, this paper illustrates some of the many ways that librarians incorporate this vital approach to teaching the complexities of information, as well as the potential advantages and difficulties of doing so. This call to recognize the importance of social justice to libraries and librarians’ work has gained visibility in the scholarly literature and profession as a whole since first making its appearance fifteen years ago.1 As a theory and practice, critical information literacy (critical IL) aims to understand how libraries participate in systems of oppression and find ways for librarians and students to act upon these systems. keywords: critical; critical il; critical information; information; information literacy; instruction; librarians; library; practice; students; teaching cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16616.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16616.txt item: #6076 of 6666 id: crl-16637 author: Ford, Emily title: Advancing an Open Ethos with Open Peer Review date: 2017-05-04 words: 3824 flesch: 46 summary: In fact, early exploration of open review by Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Avi Santo outlines the need for open review to be formed by each community adopting it.5 However, for purposes of this editorial, a functional definition is that OPR allows for the disclosure of author and referee identities to one another, and supports the publication of referee reports and author responses on the open web. In my view, OPR allows for and supports transparent scholarly conversations, improves and enhances collaboration and research, and exposes and alleviates problems endemic in blinded peer review processes. keywords: open; opr; publishing; review; scholarly cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16637.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16637.txt item: #6077 of 6666 id: crl-16638 author: Kong, Ningning; Fosmire, Michael; Branch, Benjamin Dewayne title: Developing Library GIS Services for Humanities and Social Science: An Action Research Approach date: 2017-05-04 words: 7657 flesch: 40 summary: In the downstream, GIS data services can be developed around spatial data organization, metadata creation, online spatial data visualization, or data dissemination via a spatial data portal.

The National Center for Education Statistics reported that, in fall 2012, there were 26,606 librarians at 3,172 responding U.S. academic libraries (out of 3,793 U.S. academic libraries surveyed).26 These data indicate that less than 10 percent of USALs published a peer-reviewed journal article in one of the major LIS journals studied during a five-year period. keywords: academic; articles; authors; journals; libraries; number; study; u.s cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16640.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16640.txt item: #6080 of 6666 id: crl-16641 author: Samson, Sue; Granath, Kim; Alger, Adrienne title: Journey Mapping the User Experience date: 2017-05-04 words: 5213 flesch: 52 summary: One method of assessing library services and access is journey mapping, also called service blueprinting, a methodology that uses library experiences and touchpoints at which a student comes into contact with the service.1 The use of journey mapping is *  All interns will participate in a focus group at the end of the semester to analyze the data collection and make recommendations on how access to library services and resources can be improved. keywords: experience; journey; library; mapping; scenario; service cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16641.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16641.txt item: #6081 of 6666 id: crl-16642 author: Boyd, Angela; Blue, Yolanda; Im, Suzanne title: Evaluation of Academic Library Residency Programs in the United States for Librarians of Color date: 2017-05-04 words: 18880 flesch: 45 summary: These guidelines expected host institutions to report diversity efforts, offer residencies that were a minimum of one year in length with the possibility of a one-year extension, not consider the residency as a probationary employment period, be large enough to manage residencies effectively, include an educational component for residents, and offer residents salaries that were equivalent to starting salaries for other beginning professionals.34 Evaluation of Academic Library Residency Programs 477 Affirmative Action and Residency Programs Starting in the 1980s, library residency programs were shaped by affirmative action policies that aimed to increase the number of librarians of color in academic libraries. Brewer mentioned that the University of Delaware (1984) and the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) (1985) were the first institutions to implement library residency programs with minority recruitment as a programmatic focus in the mid-1980s.39 Due to the ban on affirmative action in California, the UCSB residency program continues, but it ceased to be used as a minority recruitment tool. keywords: academic; libraries; library; mentoring; percent; program; research; residency; residency program; residents; university cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16642.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16642.txt item: #6082 of 6666 id: crl-16643 author: Luo, Lili; Kennedy, Marie; Brancolini, Kristine; Stephens, Michael title: Developing Online Communities for Librarian Researchers: A Case Study date: 2017-05-04 words: 8071 flesch: 41 summary: Online communities are defined as “cyberspace[s] supported by computer-based information technology, centered upon communication and interaction of participants to generate member-driven content, resulting in a relationship being built.”24 Iriberri and Leroy25 reviewed the literature and identified the following benefits of online communities for individuals: • Information exchange—access a to a wide variety of members, information, and experiences • Social support—opportunity to provide/receive support, build and maintain social ties, and bond socially and generate social action • Social interaction—opportunity to meet people and build friendships • Time and location flexibility—flexible access to the community, flexible time management, and spatial and temporal independence • Permanency—ability to edit responses, ability to archive and search messages, ability to establish permanent social presence through photographs and text, and ability to control one’s level of participation in the community Researchers in different disciplines have studied online communities with differ- ent emphases—in computer science, technology media and mechanisms is the focus; in sociology, physical versus virtual community comparisons have attracted most researchers; in management, the emphasis is on the value of user-generated content; in psychology, relationship and attachment among community members have been extensively investigated; in information systems, researchers have concentrated on development, implementations, outcomes, and applications of online communities.26 Multiple theories have also been adopted to examine online communities, such as technology acceptance model (TAM), trust theory, social cognitive theory, social capital theory, social learning theory, social network theory, commitment theory, and social influence The area of online community research most relevant to our study is the exploration of determinants for online community success. keywords: cohort; communities; community; facebook; irdl; members; online; research; study cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16643.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16643.txt item: #6083 of 6666 id: crl-16644 author: Roberts, Linds West title: Research in the Real World: Improving Adult Learners Web Search and Evaluation Skills through Motivational Design and Problem-Based Learning date: 2017-05-04 words: 11239 flesch: 45 summary: How do we increase students’ perception of the relevance and importance of information literacy skills for academic work and life in the real world? Heery noted that nontraditional students “often show an unusual degree of motivation and commitment” in spite of barriers such as time, family or job responsibilities, inadequate academic preparation for college work, and language or cultural barriers.45 The question for information literacy instructors be- comes, “How can we most effectively teach information literacy skills to nontraditional students during one-shot or noncredit library sessions, when the students are pressed for time and vary widely in their backgrounds and interests?” Knowles, Holton, and Swanson recognized the needs of adult learners in their work on andragogy.46 Adult learners want information they can immediately use and ap- ply to help solve problems or keywords: college; confidence; information; information literacy; learning; literacy; posttest; research; skills; students; workshop cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16644.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16644.txt item: #6084 of 6666 id: crl-16645 author: Cardoso, Kristen title: Joe Eshleman, Richard Moniz, Karen Mann, and Kristen Eshleman.

Identifying ways to assess these integrated abilities will challenge librarians and campus partners to take an integrated approach to information literacy and information literacy assessment. keywords: assessment; education; information; information literacy; iskills; literacy; students; study cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16764.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16764.txt item: #6129 of 6666 id: crl-16765 author: Albarillo, Frans title: Information Code-Switching: A Study of Language Preferences in Academic Libraries date: 2018-07-02 words: 11109 flesch: 51 summary: Carol Myers-Scotton, a linguist writing in the 1990s about research in code-switching, summarizes Gumperz’s characterization of CS as the use of language codes as a type of “social strategy” As the CS data suggest, our libraries are not monolingual spaces, so making sure that printers can print in different scripts (and in general having technology capable of supporting users’ linguistic preferences), as well as having welcome signage in other languages are steps that libraries can take to make non-English speakers feel more included when using the library as a space for studying or meeting with classmates. keywords: academic; code; english; information; language; library; students; survey; switching; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16765.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16765.txt item: #6130 of 6666 id: crl-16766 author: Carlozzi, Michael J. title: They Found It--Now Do They Bother?

Access to academic journals is essential for scholars to be aware of existing research and to disseminate their own findings.2 Fei Shu is a Professor at Chinese Academy of Science and Education Evaluation (CASSE), Hangzhou Dianzi University and is an Associated Researcher at École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l’information, Université de Montréal, e-mail: fei.shu28@gmail.com; Philippe Mongeon is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, e-mail: p.mongeon@cwts. leidenuniv.nl; Stefanie Haustein is an Assistant Professor at School of Information Studies, University of Ottawa and is an Associated Researcher at Observatoire des Sciences et des Technologies (OST), Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche sur la Science et keywords: academic; big; big deal; cost; deal; journals; libraries; publishers cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16829.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16829.txt item: #6153 of 6666 id: crl-16846 author: Sayre, Franklin; Riegelman, Amy title: The Reproducibility Crisis and Academic Libraries date: 2018-01-03 words: 3945 flesch: 27 summary: In many cases, academic libraries are the natural organizations to lead ef- forts to implement recommendations from journals, funders, and societies to improve research reproducibility.

Additionally, the design process should be undertaken with professional planners and architects and be completed with the understanding of the growing importance of communal working spaces to users and students.10 Also, in keeping with the forward-thinking trend of increased library digitization, room reservation systems should be available online and easily navigable via the main library homepage. keywords: google; library; reservation; room; staff; students; study; system cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16888.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16888.txt item: #6164 of 6666 id: crl-16889 author: Alverson, Jessica; Schwartz, Jennifer; Shultz, Sue title: Authentic Assessment of Student Learning in an Online Class: Implications for Embedded Practice date: 2019-01-07 words: 5798 flesch: 38 summary: The increased amount of time that instruction librarians have spent working with online students has sparked conversa- tion about the sustainability of this level of librarian involvement. The activities that the librarian was expected to perform were murky, and the teaching faculty at times had different expectations from those of the librarian.9 Drawing from different research studies, Hoffman and Ramin establish a set of best practices for interacting with online students: creating a library module open to each online student, posting the librarian’s contact information in the course, posting in a single library- specific discussion board, posting information proactively, and including visuals in discus- sion board posts.10 Kvenild and colleagues surveyed a range of librarians at an open forum of two professional conferences about the most effective communication habits of librarians in embedded courses and found similar anecdotal advice. keywords: course; librarians; library; online; research; sources; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-16889.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-16889.txt item: #6165 of 6666 id: crl-16890 author: Dressler, Virginia; Kristof, Cindy title: The Right to Be Forgotten and Implications on Digital Collections: A Survey of ARL Member Institutions on Practice and Policy date: 2018-11-01 words: 9523 flesch: 47 summary: A survey conducted in the spring of 2017 focused on the process of decision mak- ing by digital librarians for takedown requests in digital collections at ARL member institutions.

As well, given the uncertainty surrounding the various types of academic library patrons as purchasers of scholarly works, it would also seem worthwhile to examine whether PDA books acquired by the various types of patrons are of commensurate interest to scholars. keywords: academic; appr; approval; books; libraries; library; libs; order; order type; patron; pda; plans; research; sciences cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-17114.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-17114.txt item: #6205 of 6666 id: crl-17115 author: Li, Xiang title: Citing East Asia: A Citation Study on the Use of East Asian Materials in East Asian Studies Dissertations date: 2019-05-03 words: 6697 flesch: 44 summary: The current study takes a citation-analysis approach to evaluate the information needs of East Asian Studies scholars.

In January 2016, ACRL replaced its Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education (Standards) with the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (Frame- work).2 While the Framework is intended for use by all types of higher education institutions, the often remedial reading, writing, and IL skills of the vulnerable community college student population may challenge community college librarians when integrating the more advanced and theoretical Framework into their instructional work. keywords: acrl; college; community; disagree; framework; information; librarians; literacy cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-17574.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-17574.txt item: #6235 of 6666 id: crl-17617 author: Kaspar, Wendi Arant title: Global Scholarship date: 2019-03-01 words: 1039 flesch: 35 summary: While academic libraries have focused on ways to enhance the global literacy of the students they serve as well as meet the needs of international students, providing diverse perspectives from various states in the global community is also important.

An Analysis of Gender Pay Inequality date: 2019-05-03 words: 7230 flesch: 48 summary: As a result of the polarizing nature of this debate, many people have come to view references to a gender wage gap with a learned sense of either bitter injustice or decided skepticism—effectively hearing only what they want to from reports about gender wage gap statistics. Of course, opponents of this view argue that the remaining unexplained difference is not the result of pay discrimination but is due instead to the inability of adjusted wage gap models to take into account every possible factor that could affect wage and differences in the way that men and women respond to labor market incentives.6 Regardless of whether or not people believe that the difference in wages between men and women is due to gender bias, there is a general consensus on the existence of sizable raw and adjusted wage gaps between men and women across almost every profession in the United States.7 Although limited in scope, prior research within the field of library science on the topic has revealed findings that differ from the general perception of the gender wage gap found in the literature.8 As suggested by such research, there is little to no gender wage gap among aca- demic librarians. keywords: gap; gender; salary; survey; wage; wage gap; women cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-17735.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-17735.txt item: #6245 of 6666 id: crl-17736 author: Anderson, Melissa title: Digital Literacy Unpacked.

Students demonstrate their information literacy through literacy events, such as research assignments, situated within a specific cultural context,27 in which students must know “the codes used by the community and the customs and conventions in play”28 and “non-conforming students are [viewed as] ‘rejects.’”29 keywords: academic; class; college; critical; cultural; education; higher education; information literacy; research; social; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-17822.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-17822.txt item: #6253 of 6666 id: crl-17824 author: Wood-Doughty, Alex; Bergstrom, Ted; Steigerwald, Douglas G. title: Do Download Reports Reliably Measure Journal Usage?

More important, the survey method and data analysis demonstrate a workable way for other libraries or consortia to explore leadership capabilities using a set of common vocabulary, with which they can initiate discussion on how leader- ship competencies play out among their librarians at different levels, and to provide basis for further discourse on leadership competencies and leadership experiences relevant to their own context. keywords: academic; competencies; competency; development; leadership; libraries; library; management; services; skills cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-18156.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-18156.txt item: #6260 of 6666 id: crl-18157 author: Reiter, Lauren; Ford, Bronson title: Library Support for Student Financial Literacy: A Survey of Librarians at Large Academic Institutions date: 2019-07-11 words: 9690 flesch: 24 summary: Although these activities, as well as the authors’ experiences and case studies in the literature, suggest possible academic library interest and participation in student financial literacy, there has been limited research on academic library support for this topic.

He found that the number of library directors at small colleges who held advanced degrees (second master’s or doctorate) increased by the year 2000. keywords: arl; degree; directors; libraries; library; mls cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-23526.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-23526.txt item: #6264 of 6666 id: crl-23527 author: Thompson, Hilary H.; Smith, Austin; Ostos, Manuel; Gardinier, Lisa title: Borrowing Latin American Materials in the Big Ten Academic Alliance: A Case Study for Consortial Data Analysis date: 2019-09-04 words: 9463 flesch: 32 summary: However, there is a correlation between overall UBorrow and ILL activity and Latin American ILL request volume, with high UBorrow and ILL borrowing volume cor- responding with higher levels of Latin American ILL requests.

He writes for an audience of historians and other scholars who would seek to use web archives in their research, but the result is a work that proves richly instructive and valuable for librarians and archivists too. keywords: brügger; digital; web cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24253.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24253.txt item: #6291 of 6666 id: crl-24254 author: Alabi, Jaena title: Pushing the Margins: Women of Color and Intersectionality in LIS.

Information literacy has been widely recognized as a critical college learning outcome for decades.2 However, assessing information literacy skills has been difficult for librarians and other assessment professionals, as the conventional methods frequently focus on small samples at or within a single institution, testing knowledge of specific skills, are time intensive (rubrics), or use instruments that have not been psychometrically validated.3 Due to these concerns, instructional librarians approached the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to collaborate with NSSE researchers on expanding the information literacy content in keywords: engagement; factors; information; information literacy; learning; literacy; module; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24335.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24335.txt item: #6301 of 6666 id: crl-24336 author: Saunders, Laura title: Core Knowledge and Specialized Skills in Academic Libraries date: 2020-03-05 words: 8705 flesch: 32 summary: This suggests that some skills, such as describing information sources, metadata creation and management, and knowledge management are more likely to be considered core skills in settings other than academic libraries. These results align with earlier studies in which library directors identified instruction services as their top priority and predicted the most growth in positions related to teaching and research support, specifically instruction, instructional design, information literacy, and faculty research support.15 Indeed, in each survey since Ithaka began these studies in 2010, more than 90 percent of academic library directors have rated the statement that “the library helps undergraduates develop research, critical analysis, and information literacy skills” as important, and it is the most highly rated function in terms of importance for baccalaureate, master, and doctoral institutions. keywords: academic; core; information; knowledge; libraries; library; professionals; skills cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24336.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24336.txt item: #6302 of 6666 id: crl-24337 author: Anderson, Christopher J. title: Peter Botticelli, Martha R.

We hired two writing and research tutors after the course ended to serve as student research assistants for our assess- ment initiative, giving them further leadership opportunities but also including key student perspectives on the evolution of our assessment design and implementation. keywords: academic; assessment; college; learning; libraries; research; students; tutor; writing; year cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24372.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24372.txt item: #6318 of 6666 id: crl-24373 author: Cheng, James; Hoffman, Starr title: Librarians and Administrators on Academic Library Impact Research: Characteristics and Perspectives date: 2020-04-03 words: 13242 flesch: 41 summary: This study addressed this limitation by surveying and interviewing professional librarians who are directly conducting library impact research, asking about their research experience, their attitudes about impact research, and their response to the ACRL report.

For example, several had had experiences such as being older than the instructor, receiving unwanted attention while pregnant, performing emotional labor to make other students comfortable, coordinating group work with childcare, coming out as the only single mother in their program, feeling out of place and excluded in the classroom and casual conversations, and being unable to relate to peers without similar responsibilities and demands on their time. keywords: academic; campus; children; focus; library; parents; participants; research; student; study cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24431.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24431.txt item: #6322 of 6666 id: crl-24432 author: Walters, William H.; Gormley, John; Handfield, Amy E.; López-Fitzsimmons, Bernadette M.; Markgren, Susanne; Paradise, Laurin; Sheehan, Sarah E. title: Library Book Selection Decisions and Selectors’ Effectiveness: Differences among Librarians, Faculty, and Students date: 2020-05-05 words: 15693 flesch: 42 summary: Book selection experience is coded 1 for those with significant book selection experience and 0 for all others.47 Librarians received credit for book selection experience if “regular (e.g., weekly or monthly) selection of books/monographs was a significant component of [their] professional work” for one or more years.

Recently, Quinn Galbraith, Adam Henry Callister, and Heather Kelley looked at 35 years of ARL salary data, as well as the 2014 ARL Salary Survey data, and found that the gender wage gap is substantially smaller in ARL libraries than in the workforce as a whole.28 Starting salary can have a giant impact on the pay gap for librarians, given the nature of wages over time. keywords: arl; gap; gender; libraries; positions; research; salary; women cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24434.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24434.txt item: #6325 of 6666 id: crl-24435 author: Couture, Juliann; Gerke, Jennie; Knievel, Jennifer title: Getting into the Club: Existence and Availability of Mentoring for Tenured Librarians in Academic Libraries date: 2020-05-05 words: 9971 flesch: 38 summary: However, survey responses suggest that promotion processes are not as objective as librarians might believe and are perceived as highly political processes by those seeking promotion.

In an era of attention to work/life balance, the authors were interested in determining the degree to which professionals were able to separate work time from personal time. keywords: academic; authors; department; libraries; library; research; survey; time; work cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24436.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24436.txt item: #6327 of 6666 id: crl-24437 author: Beile, Penny; deNoyelles, Aimee; Raible, John title: Analysis of an Open Textbook Adoption in an American History Course: Impact on Student Academic Outcomes and Behaviors date: 2020-05-05 words: 8472 flesch: 39 summary: Perceptions Finally, student perceptions of the general quality of open textbooks, as well as the course open textbook’s credibility, relevance to the course, and support of their performance in the course were explored.

For example, the expectation that students go to college to find themselves and gain independence from their families is a distinctly White 418 College & Research Libraries May 2022 middle-class value that contradicts many Native students’ need for cultural connection and desire to give back to their communities.16 To support Native students, several scholars have argued that institutions of higher education need to adopt culturally responsive education practices that further the goals of Native American sovereignty, self-determination, and nation building.17 Building on Critical Race Theory, Brayboy proposed a Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribalCrit), which outlines cen- tral tenets of a framework to address Native Americans’ complex relationship to the United States government and society.18 Based on the primary tenet that “colonization is endemic to society,” TribalCrit articulates eight additional tenets addressing issues such as imperialism, White supremacy, sovereignty, assimilation, liminality, cultural knowledge, and tradition.19 As such, TribalCrit can provide a useful lens for understanding and addressing issues facing Native American students in higher education. keywords: american; campus; experiences; library; native; native american; native students; students; study; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24739.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24739.txt item: #6379 of 6666 id: crl-24740 author: Burress, Theresa title: Data Literacy Practices of Students Conducting Undergraduate Research date: 2022-05-02 words: 7877 flesch: 33 summary: However, student reports of engagement with data practices, together with proxy evidence regarding three data practices (that is, ob- taining data, analyzing data, creating visualizations), supports the assertion that data literacy is an integral component of undergraduate research.

In more recent years, the literature pertaining to academic libraries’ contribu- tions to academic success (GPA) are steadily increasing such as Ula Gaha, Suzanne Hinnefeld, and Catherine Pellegrino’s study examining the correlations between library instruction and GPA;6 Tiffany LeMaistre, Qingmin Shi, and Sandip Thanki’s investigation of the relationship between library online resource use and GPA;7 and Francesca Marineo and Qingmin Shi’s examination of the relationships between library use sessions and GPA.8 Given that GPA has been widely used in various fields as a quantifiable indicator of student academic success and learning (for instance, in Psychology, Educational Psychol- ogy, and Library and Information Sciences), it is very important to have empirical evidence demonstrating that academic libraries have a positive impact on students’ academic success using GPA. keywords: academic; gpa; library; library use; students; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24743.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24743.txt item: #6382 of 6666 id: crl-24749 author: Riegelman, Amy title: Considering Registered Reports at C&RL date: 2021-01-04 words: 2571 flesch: 35 summary: Registered reports enable research methods to be peer-reviewed before data collection.

This is in part due to the larger number of journals in those disciplines, but it is also influenced by the greater diversity of paradigms and methodologies in those disciplines.49 It also shows that, surprisingly, smaller universities have a higher proportion of core journals, which suggests a more even usage of resources than larger universities, in which a larger body of researchers might work on similar topics, thus concentrating journal usage. keywords: big; core; journals; libraries; number; percent; research; universities; university; usage cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24833.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24833.txt item: #6404 of 6666 id: crl-24834 author: Barr-Walker, Jill; Hoffner, Courtney; McMunn-Tetangco, Elizabeth; Mody, Nisha title: Sexual Harassment at University of California Libraries: Understanding the Experiences of Library Staff Members date: 2021-03-03 words: 7236 flesch: 32 summary: In a 2018 pilot study that surveyed library employees at the University of California, San Fran- cisco (UCSF) campus about sexual harassment experiences, 48 percent of respondents indicated that they had experienced sexual harassment at work.1 These findings provided the impetus for the current study and correspond to results of a 2018 report by the National Academies of Jill Barr-Walker is Clinical Librarian at San Francisco General Hospital at the University of California, San Fran- cisco, email: jill.barr-walker@ucsf.edu; Courtney Hoffner is Librarian at the University of California Los Angeles, email: choffner@library.ucla.edu; Elizabeth McMunn-Tetangco is Instruction & Research Librarian at the Univer- sity of California Merced Library, email: emcmunn@ucmerced.edu; and Nisha Mody is Associate Director at the Network of the National Library of Medicine, Pacific Southwest Region, based at UCLA, email: nmody@library. ucla.edu.

This is reflected in the literature that covers undergraduate25 and graduate students.26 Notably, the literature high- lights the need to look at the role of the librarian in online courses, how students interact with librarians, and assessment of this practice in various contexts.27 Alverson et al. focus on the need for authentic assessment of student work to determine the impact of embedded librarian- ship on student learning.28 Further, the need to look at this practice “particularly examining the student interactions with content (instructional materials), librarian, and fellow students for their information literacy needs” was raised by Heathcock.29 374 College & Research Libraries May 2021 To reduce TD, the literature encourages the instructor to consider four types of interac- tion: “student-student,” “student-content,” “student-instructor,” “student-interface (course structure).” keywords: assignment; course; distance; instructor; librarian; online; student cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24916.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24916.txt item: #6418 of 6666 id: crl-24917 author: Lundstrom, Kacy; Fagerheim, Britt; Van Geem, Stephen title: Library Teaching Anxiety: Understanding and Supporting a Persistent Issue in Librarianship date: 2021-05-01 words: 8334 flesch: 44 summary: Those respondents experiencing psychological symptoms chose from the following list: feelings of apprehension or dread, negative self-talk, feeling restless or irritable, anticipating TABLE 4 Factors Contributing to Teaching Anxiety Factors Contributing to Teaching Anxiety % of Respondents 1 Fear of looking foolish or unknowledgeable in front of others 13.70% 2 Fear of being unprepared 12.73% 3 Of the respondents who did not want to teach when they entered the library profession, 54.8 percent felt unprepared or very unprepared, and 85 percent of those reporting to be unprepared when they entered the profession experienced teaching anxiety. keywords: anxiety; librarians; library; percent; respondents; symptoms; teaching cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24917.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24917.txt item: #6419 of 6666 id: crl-24918 author: Garoufallou, Emmanouel; Gaitanou, Panorea title: Big Data: Opportunities and Challenges in Libraries, a Systematic Literature Review date: 2021-05-01 words: 12191 flesch: 41 summary: Cervone provided a practical example of how Big Data and analytics can help li- braries and information organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of social media efforts to improve the perception of products and services in information organizations.44 Qin proposed five stages in the process of getting Big Data information: preparation, preprocessing, data mining, output, and evaluation, among which data mining is the core of Big Data thinking.

However, the topics under the umbrella of librarians’ core competencies are nothing novel; they have been deeply rooted in the historical discourse in library science core curriculum for nearly a century.7 In the late twentieth century, although there had existed several library science school standards and curriculum guidelines put forward by organi- zations such as The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and American Library Association (ALA),8 almost no consensus had been reached on the core curricula or accreditation standards due to two facts: first, the dynamic sociotechnical environ- ment made the core competencies changeable; second, without any mechanism to ensure that consensus would be broadly accepted and applied, agreements on core competencies failed to make a difference in practice.9 For instance, ALA’s Standards for Accreditation 1972 was only a passing reference without any elaboration or enforcement.10 Consequently, library schools nationwide were still developing curricula on their own.11 ALA started to specify core competencies for graduates of ALA-accredited programs in the late 1990s. keywords: competencies; core; core competencies; information; librarians; library; lis; management; research; respondent; skills cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-24928.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-24928.txt item: #6430 of 6666 id: crl-24961 author: Metzger, Rebecca; Jackson, John M. title: Developing Competencies for Outreach Work in Academic Libraries date: 2022-07-01 words: 9960 flesch: 34 summary: 646 Developing Competencies for Outreach Work in Academic Libraries Rebecca Metzger and John M.

An Analysis of ARL Libraries’ Accessibility Webpages date: 2021-11-02 words: 10389 flesch: 43 summary: Mary Cassner, Charlene Maxey-Harris, and Toni Anaya (2011) reviewed ARL library accessibility webpages, discussing the located content of these pages under the headings of general features, services, staffing, facilities, and assistive technology.18 Stephanie Graves and Elizabeth German (2018) had a more narrow focus than the prior two studies, looking solely at whether these pages provided information on library instruction content, including the physical and technical accessibility of library classrooms.19 K.T.L. Vaughan and Stefanie Warlick (2020) went broader again, reviewing accessibility web- pages for the presences of 12 specific content types: statement, campus contact, library contact, AT lab, book/article retrieval, building information, computers and equipment, research help, study rooms, circulation help, resource inks, and video captioning.20 All four studies found that the presence of information within the defined categories was limited. The participants’ responses provided an expanded view into what information accessibility pages could contain to more fully support students with disabilities, including those with invisible disabilities, such as attention deficit hyperactiv- ity disorder (ADHD) and depression, which are some of the more prevalent disabilities within the university student population.5 Armed with insights from that study, and a hope that ARL libraries may have expanded their accessibility webpages in recent years, this study located and analyzed ARL libraries’ * keywords: academic; accessibility; accessibility webpages; content; disabilities; information; libraries; library; services; users; webpages cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25195.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25195.txt item: #6475 of 6666 id: crl-25196 author: Zhang, Mei; Wei, Xiaofei title: What Can “Marriage Announcements” Tell Us? A Content Analysis of News Articles on Library-Press Collaboration date: 2021-11-02 words: 8645 flesch: 32 summary: ”24 Another main challenge of library-press collaboration lies in their different financial operations: university press is a revenue-generating organization, whereas library operates on “subsidized, expenditure-based budget”;25 therefore, library sometimes does not fully understand press’s revenue-driven operations to maintain its financial viability.26 Limitations of Current Literature The literature review demonstrates that the majority of these articles were written by stake- holders either from libraries or university presses and have covered a relatively comprehensive range of the topics on the library-press collaborations. This study collects 23 news articles on the collaboration between university presses and academic libraries from the formal news sites of the affiliated institutions and then conducts content analysis on these articles, focusing on their content coverage and purposes. keywords: articles; collaboration; library; news; press; press collaboration; publishing; university cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25196.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25196.txt item: #6476 of 6666 id: crl-25197 author: Barrick, Katie; Riegelman, Amy title: Phrasing in Reproducible Search Methodology: The Consequences of Straight and Curly Quotation Marks date: 2021-11-02 words: 5819 flesch: 44 summary: When scholars seek peer-reviewed and grey literature on a given topic, they have many options for search platforms, and these platforms have differing search syntaxes and algorithms for displaying results that can shift over time without any indication to the user.

Understanding core contributions of academic library spaces is more important than establishing its users’ satisfaction; within higher education learning organizations, a task hi- erarchy is explicit, and fostering environments in which students can best engage with their coursework should be perceived as the main priority. keywords: academic; college; learning; learning spaces; libraries; library; research; spaces; students; study cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25264.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25264.txt item: #6490 of 6666 id: crl-25265 author: Cobley, Joanna title: Why Objects Matter in Higher Education date: 2022-01-03 words: 8360 flesch: 45 summary: As one Univer- sity of Melbourne OBL student said: “I just cannot go past the immense aid the objects and practical exercises were toward learning.”33 Another way is expanding the number of practitioners and scope of institutions involved at a national level, similar to the study by Thogerson et al., to help OBL practitioners better understand student learning as well as find ways to improve OBL methods. keywords: collections; education; higher; history; learning; new; obl; research; students; university; zealand cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25265.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25265.txt item: #6491 of 6666 id: crl-25266 author: Goodsett, Mandi; Schmillen, Hanna title: Fostering Critical Thinking in First-Year Students through Information Literacy Instruction date: 2022-01-03 words: 9237 flesch: 38 summary: Higher educational institutions generally agree that critical thinking is a key learning outcome for students and an important indicator of success.23 The focus on critical thinking instruction for first-year students in this study was deliberate for several reasons.

In their review, only a handful of pub- lications covered the practical issues of collections diversity, such as descriptive metadata and collection assessment, while the majority of publications focused on workforce diver- sity.6 As of July 2020, there were few additions to this body of literature, with the majority of publications focusing on particular topics of diversity, such as race and ethnicity,7 LGBTQ representation,8 Indigenous knowledge and tribal libraries,9 or the role of special collections in addressing diversity.10 Although a systematic approach to conceptualizing and measuring diversity is necessary for managing library collections, there are few examples beyond a handful of studies in the 168 College & Research Libraries March 2022 1980s and 1990s that applied statistical measures of diversity to materials selection and collec- tion keywords: academic; collection; development; diversity; libraries; library; library collections; materials; metadata; research; studies; subject; use cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25342.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25342.txt item: #6503 of 6666 id: crl-25343 author: Pickard, Elizabeth; Sterling, Sarah title: Information Literacy Instruction in Asynchronous Online Courses: Which Approaches Work Best? date: 2022-03-03 words: 15596 flesch: 50 summary: This approach also allowed researchers to unearth granular differences in students’ work in response to the different modes of ILI students had received.

For example, one Morehouse interviewee shared that “people who get on certain [student group] boards or positions feel like they have to like hide parts of who they are,” whereas later, when asked what advice they would provide to incoming students, the same participant said, “Morehouse is a place where you can be comfortable in your sexuality and your queerness in general.” Others expressed a sense of pressure to conform to the ideal of the “Spelman Woman” and “Morehouse Man.” keywords: campus; college; information; lgbtqia+; library; morehouse; social; spelman; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25346.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25346.txt item: #6507 of 6666 id: crl-25347 author: Witherspoon, Richelle; Taber, Philip; Goudreau, Alex title: Science Students’ Information Literacy Needs: A Survey of Science Faculty on What and When Each Skill Is Needed date: 2022-03-03 words: 8005 flesch: 38 summary: Findings from the study align with previous research on information use and literacy in the sciences and build on it by offering librarians greater insight into what underlies, drives, and impedes IL skill development for science students.

Neoliberal practices also leverage affect to produce and reinforce desired behaviors and subjectivities; in the neoliberal university workplace, these include flexibility, lifelong learning, entrepreneurialism, and a willingness to accept work intensification.103 Similarly, diversity as liberal multiculturalism draws on an affective technol- ogy of happiness to assuage white guilt and obscure the persistent whiteness of institutions such as universities, while diversity as self-work echoes neoliberal technologies of affect.104 Affect has recently been invoked to theorize issues central to information literacy and diversity work, including affective labor, resistance, and antiracist pedagogy. keywords: affect; affective; ahmed; critical; diversity; education; higher; information literacy; library; practices; work cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25580.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25580.txt item: #6548 of 6666 id: crl-25581 author: Bastone, Zoe; Clement, Kristina title: Serving Everyone or Serving No One?

Librarians regularly express the need to be further integrated into courses to better teach information literacy skills and to scaffold information literacy across the curriculum.34 Likewise, centering student feedback can foster reflection on how to reform their instruction to better serve the needs of their students, including consider- ing delivering information literacy instruction through a lens of information privilege. keywords: equity; information; information literacy; instruction; librarians; library; literacy; shot; students cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25581.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25581.txt item: #6549 of 6666 id: crl-25582 author: Ding, Yi title: Feminized Flexibility, One-Shot, and Library Professionalism: Oxymoron or Opportunity? date: 2022-09-02 words: 6751 flesch: 19 summary: By reimagining professionalism with a feminist and intersectional lens, the author concludes that destigmatizing gender stereotypes in imposed flexibility and embracing practices of autonomous flexibility in one-shots are key for library instructors and administrators to advance both workplace and student equity. Specifically, imposed flexibility is to accommodate the schedule, content, and pedagogy needs of teaching faculty due to asymmetrical power dynamics between librarians and teaching faculty40 or that between librarians and administrators’ or institutional need of efficiency, but librarians need autonomous flexibility to determine the means and amount of instructional labor. keywords: academic; flexibility; instruction; labor; librarianship; libraries; library; professionalism; shot; teaching cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25582.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25582.txt item: #6550 of 6666 id: crl-25583 author: Arellano Douglas, Veronica; Gadsby, Joanna title: The Power of Presence: One-Shots, Relational Teaching, and Instruction Librarianship date: 2022-09-02 words: 7222 flesch: 47 summary: As Nel Noddings states, “time spent on building a relation of care and trust is not time wasted,” so whatever time we have, however brief, is best used in relational connection.20 Joan Piorkowski and Erika Scheurer’s article on devel- opmental writing students highlighted how brief interactions with professors can be “caring encounters that spur motivation” and note that these demonstrations of care do not need to 810 College & Research Libraries September 2022 be elaborate.21 Rather, the professor or instructor shows that they are relationally available to students and establishes a foundation of care through their small actions or suggestions. However, there are one-shot classes or workshops that leave us, as librarians, feeling connected to students and faculty, deeply moved by the learning that has happened in the last hour or two (and in the hours of planning before the class even occurs). keywords: caring; connected; connection; relational; relationship; students; teaching cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25583.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25583.txt item: #6551 of 6666 id: crl-25584 author: Nataraj, Lalitha; Ibarra Siqueiros, April title: “Slow Your Roll”: Making Time for Reflection and Diverse Epistemic Practices in Library Instruction date: 2022-09-02 words: 7969 flesch: 40 summary: Qualitative data from zines also offer both librarians and students a profound understanding of how BIPOC students construct their scholar identities and act as counternarratives to epistemic white supremacy.

Jessica Tai has argued the need for archival institutions to conduct reparative redescription of finding aids and catalog records, and Anti- Racist Description Resources, a practical guide from the Archives for Black Lives in Philadelphia, provides concrete steps to address such racism in archival description, as well as an extensive annotated bibliography of scholarship in this area.3 Once processed, archival materials become available for researchers to use; such access is influenced by structures of white supremacy, as identified by Michelle Caswell and her students.4 keywords: archival; materials cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25589.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25589.txt item: #6557 of 6666 id: crl-25590 author: Santamaria, Michele; Schomberg, Jessica title: It Doesn’t Matter How Many “Doses”: One-Shots Aren’t Cures date: 2022-09-02 words: 1383 flesch: 39 summary: But, as we see with discussions about neutrality, this “common sense” approach does not factor in information systems that “inflict structural violence on BIPOC,” nor does it acknowledge the motivations behind any other form of epistemic injustice.5 It also doesn’t account for research around “sticky” information, which sometimes sticks around even after being corrected because it’s linked in people’s heads with other information they know to be true or because it provides them with a sense of safety or because it is a norm within social groups.6 As discussed by Maura Seale in relation to information literacy practices informed by the Standards, this “mechanistic” and “simplistic” view of how someone becomes infor- mation-literate is also “positivist” in its disregard of the means of knowledge production.7 Positivism approaches the world by observing it and reducing complexities in the attempt to identify universal patterns without acknowledging the social construction of knowledge.8 From this positivistic, mechanistic perspective, becoming information literate should then be “procedural,” as scripted and carefully controlled as many of our one-shots. Or, to frame this within the vaccine metaphor and in terms of corresponding learning implications, students given the “one shot” of information literacy frequently fail to apply what they have learned to new information literacy situations in ways that demonstrate they have been able to transfer knowledge. keywords: information; shots cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25590.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25590.txt item: #6558 of 6666 id: crl-25591 author: Berry, Kathleen title: Fotini Iconomopoulos.

As a former archivist and rare book librarian at New York Public Library, and now rare book dealer and small press publisher with Granary Books, she has witnessed how “institutional practices shape our expectations of the use and value of poets’ libraries, just as they shape our understanding of the archival materials and research collections that they house.” keywords: book; libraries; poets cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-25685.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-25685.txt item: #6571 of 6666 id: crl-25686 author: Filippelli, Carolyn title: Jo Angela Oehrli.

I would urge emphasis for university librarians on the extension of reference work into periodicals, society publications, documents and particularly printed bibliographies, while in cataloging it might well be explained even to be- ginners that our card catalogs were just the best available present device for mak- ing known the contents of libraries; that for large scholarly libraries there were valid criticisms against the dictionary card catalog on the score both of its complexity in use and of its cost; that much subject work is likely in the future to be done through reference to printed bibliogra- phies; that the rapidly developing arts of photography and cheap mechanical repro- duction may within the professional lives of our students bring back the printed catalog in new forms, with cards necessary only for supplements; that classifications, particularly in the biological and physical sciences and in what some optimistically call the social sciences, being concerned with the literature as it now exists, must go out of date, become inadequate, as that literature, geared as it is to the sub- ject matter and its treatment, changes. keywords: librarians; library; university cache: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/cache/crl-9760.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/college-and-research-libraries/txt/crl-9760.txt item: #6578 of 6666 id: crl-9761 author: Williamson, C.
