1. The Role of the Library Faculty in the California Community College. Position Paper. Adopted Spring 2019

Author

Academic Senate for California Community Colleges

Abstract

Libraries are the central resource for supporting faculty and students in their research and information needs, both physically and remotely. This essential role of libraries and library faculty has remained consistent amid significant technological and pedagogical changes within the community college system. As librarians continue to determine their other roles within the California Community Colleges System and local districts in response to evolving demands, the inclusion and engagement of library faculty in college decision-making processes, program development, and other academic and professional matters are critical. Just as each student body and community is diverse with its own characteristics, needs, and goals, so are each of the libraries throughout the California community colleges. This paper provides encouragement for library faculty, administrators, and staff to apply the various recommendations outlined throughout its text to meet their individual campus needs and requirements in providing impactful and equitable library instruction and services. It outlines the importance of library faculty in facilitating student success and provides information on the core roles of library faculty in the California Community Colleges System. The content of the paper may be used to inform the development of local and external policies, regulations, and guidelines that pertain to the operation and performance of California community college libraries and assist in the ongoing dialog among library faculty, staff, and administration regarding the role, services, design, and development of libraries and librarians. [The paper was developed by the Transfer, Articulation, and Student Services Committee of the Academic Senate in partnership with the Council of Chief Librarians.]

3. Planning and Designing Academic Library Learning Spaces: Expert Perspectives of Architects, Librarians, and Library Consultants. Project Information Literacy Research Report. The Practitioner Series

Author

Project Information Literacy and Head, Alison J.

Abstract

This paper identifies approaches, challenges, and best practices related to planning and designing today's academic library learning spaces. As part of the Project Information Literacy (PIL) Practitioner Series, qualitative data is presented from 49 interviews conducted with a sample of academic librarians, architects, and library consultants. These participants were at the forefront of the same 22 recent library learning space projects on college and university campuses in the US and Canada between 2011 and 2016. Most library projects had allocated space for supporting at least one of these four types of academic learning activities: collaborative, individual study, tutoring by campus learning partners, or occasional classes taught by campus instructors. Successful collaboration between the architect and the librarian was fostered by their shared commitment to meeting users' needs, though few stakeholders systematically collected input from users beyond standard usage statistics and gate counts. Most interviewees reported facing some common challenges during their project planning and implementations. One challenge was translating design goals into tangible designs while trying to resolve issues of noise mitigation, shared space allocations, and providing enough electrical power for IT devices. Another challenge was ensuring effective communication practices with planning teams as well as campus-wide constituents throughout projects. Additional challenges included building consensus, compensating for project interruption and inadequate knowledge about both architecture and library IT issues, and having too few a priori evaluation metrics for linking learning outcomes to goals of the library space projects. Taken together, the success of library learning space projects depends upon shared knowledge and understanding of the sweeping learning, pedagogical, and research changes facing the academy. Librarians and architects need to work together to apply that knowledge and understanding to the unique environment and learning and teaching needs of their specific institution. Contains a list of further readings. [Funding from a Strategic Research Grant from the University of Washington Information School helped to make this report possible.]

4. Can Academic Reference Librarians Enhance the Cultural Diversity of the Nation's Colleges and Universities?

Author

Wilkinson, David

Abstract

Academic reference librarians can enhance the campus cultural diversity of colleges and universities by displaying sensitivity at the reference desk; understanding multicultural group behaviors; avoiding stereotyped attitudes; appreciating a wide range of cognitive style differences; striving to make multicultural students feel comfortable; retaining an appreciation of gender and racial points of view; understanding the need for end-user training tailored to multi-ethnic users for the various computer systems now located in libraries and essential for research; showing that they do not necessarily always expect perfect English from students; possessing personal interaction skills; and encouraging an understanding of the importance of cultural diversity in academic settings. In addition to reference desk interaction, librarians also have opportunities to enhance cultural diversity through bibliographic instruction, academic committee work, outreach activities, summer enrichment programs, literacy advocacy, intern recruitment, and informal mentoring. A tangential benefit of the successful application of these activities is the awareness that preservation of our nation's cultural heritage is an essential library role. (KRN)

7. Degrees of Impact: Analyzing the Effects of Progressive Librarian Course Collaborations on Student Performance

Author

Booth, Char, Lowe, M. Sara, Tagge, Natalie, and Stone, Sean M.

Abstract

The Claremont Colleges Library conducted direct rubric assessment of Pitzer College First-Year Seminar research papers to analyze the impact of diverse levels of librarian course collaborations on information literacy (IL) performance in student writing. Findings indicate that progressive degrees of librarian engagement in IL-related course instruction and/or syllabus and assignment design had an increasingly positive impact on student performance. A secondary indirect analysis of librarian teaching evaluations and self-perceived learning gains by students and faculty showed no correlation to rubric IL scores, suggesting the importance of "authentic" assessment in determining actual learning outcomes. This mixed-methods study presents findings in each area and examines their implications for effective IL course collaborations.

8. A Study of Faculty Data Curation Behaviors and Attitudes at a Teaching-Centered University

Author

Scaramozzino, Jeanine Marie, Ramírez, Marisa L., and McGaughey, Karen J.

Abstract

Academic libraries need reliable information on researcher data needs, data curation practices, and attitudes to identify and craft appropriate services that support outreach and teaching. This paper describes information gathered from a survey distributed to the College of Science and Mathematics faculty at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly), a master's-granting, teaching-centered institution. There was a more than 60 percent response rate to the survey. The survey results provided insight into the science researchers' data curation awareness, behaviors, and attitudes, as well as what needs they exhibited for services and education regarding maintenance and management of data. It is important that professional librarians understand what researchers both inside and outside their own institutions know so that they can collaborate with their university colleagues to examine data curation needs.

Abstract

As the new generation of discovery systems evolve and gain maturity, it is important to continually focus on how users interact with these tools and what areas they find problematic. This study looks at user interactions within SearchWorks, a discovery system developed by Stanford University Libraries, with an emphasis on identifying and analyzing problematic and failed searches. Our findings indicate that users still experience difficulties conducting author and subject searches, could benefit from enhanced support for browsing, and expect their overall search experience to be more closely aligned with that on popular web destinations. The article also offers practical recommendations pertaining to metadata, functionality, and scope of the search system that could help address some of the most common problems encountered by the users.

Abstract

This article explains the importance of education in computer safety at the library of the University of California-Berkeley. Berkeley's local impact on the intellectual and cultural life of the Bay Area, in San Francisco, California, is far-reaching. This is particularly true when the underlying causes of the successive security breaches they have witnessed locally have to do with person-to-machine interfaces of a more mobile nature than usual. The Berkeley campus has instituted vastly tighter security rules, anticipating a highly publicized moment in June 2005 when minimum-security guidelines will be enforced for any computer that is connected to the campus network. Information technology professionals at Berkeley are doing their jobs and have protected the network itself to a reasonable degree. But the one set of factors that is the most difficult to guarantee is also the most familiar: individual user patterns. How we choose to use computers on a daily basis creates a set of security threats that can only be countered by education and outreach. More than ever, security has become an instructional concern. Education is key. Digital librarians, both as content managers and instructors, have a lot to offer.
