Item Adventures in the study of scholarly communications(2023-05-02) Hall, Robyn; Hurrell, Christie; Hayman, RichardScholarly communications practitioners are increasingly conducting important research into the practices, services, and programs that define and sustain their work. During this session, hear about the opportunities and challenges that presented themselves during three such projects recently undertaken by librarians who have lived to tell the tale of their scholarly endeavours to better understand scholarly communications in the Canadian context. Participants will also have an opportunity to discuss their own experiences conducting research relevant to scholarly communications, and identify research gaps attendees may be interested in engaging with moving forward. We anticipate that this session will equip attendees with practical skills for engaging in research activities, whether as part of a formal research leave, or in the course of their daily work.Item Authentic and active: a pilot project to assess a large-scale information literacy program(2012) Knoch, Jessica; Hayman, Richard; Shamchuk, Lisa; Townsend, LeahThe dual goals of helping students achieve immediate success in their first year English class and developing a baseline set of IL skills and attitudes form the basis of MacEwan University Library’s English Library Instruction Program (ELIP). With more than 120 sessions offered each year, ELIP has become a sizable yet essential service offered by MacEwan University Library. While the resources, personnel and time needed to develop and administer ELIP at MacEwan are substantial, these needs are mitigated by the impact that this program may have on student ability to locate and evaluate information relevant to their courses. In January 2011, MacEwan University Library undertook a pilot project to begin measuring this impact. Informed by the assessment-for-learning theory, ELIP team members designed a pedagogical approach that included a learning tool to collect assessment data while providing an authentic and active learning experience for students. A rubric was then used to evaluate the learning tool and determine the extent of student learning. Join us as we discuss how we blended authentic IL assessment with fresh pedagogical approaches to demonstrate the effectiveness of our library’s largest instructional program. Preliminary results will be shared along with the tools you will need to deliver a similar program in your institution.Item Talking to faculty and students about open access(2018) Hall, Robyn; Wakaruk, Amanda; Hayman, RichardFacilitated discussion about various ways librarians and library staff can work with students and faculty concerning open access publishing options and issues.
