Librarians Answer Reference Questions With Text Messages - Wired Campus For a student who doesn’t want to swing by the reference desk, there are plenty of other ways to ask a librarian a question—instant messaging, e-mail, a phone call. And now, on a growing number of campuses, students can ask questions with text messages. Oregon State University is among the institutions that have recently added “text a librarian” services. Students text a question to an advertised number during library hours, and an alert appears on the computer screen of any librarian who is signed into the library’s instant-messaging service. Margaret Mellinger, an assistant professor and engineering librarian at Oregon State, said the library staff expected that students would ask only questions with quick, simple answers. “We weren’t thinking that they were going to ask serious research questions,” Ms. Students have also asked about checking out laptop computers and locating library books.

University at Buffalo Libraries Le projet | www.2025exmachina.net Ce Serious Game a pour objectif d’amener les 12-17 ans à porter un regard critique sur leurs usages d’Internet fixe et mobile, à travers une démarche ludique.

Home | Princeton University Library Expérience pédagogique avec des iPod - TIC et éducation au Canada : l'Infobourg L’application eClicker a été spécifiquement conçu pour répondre aux besoins de l’éducation. Elle permet aux enseignants de questionner les élèves par le biais de questions à choix multiples. L’enseignant doit se doter de l'application « hôte » de eClicker (25 $) pour pouvoir envoyer les questions aux élèves. Quelques jours avant de vivre l’activité en classe, M. Martel avait donc demandé à ses élèves de lui soumettre des questions à choix multiples sur la langue française en général ; une trentaine de questions qu’il avait ensuite intégrées dans son application hôte. Finalement, la journée de l’activité, M. Regroupés en équipe, les élèves avaient 15 secondes pour répondre à chaque question. Une fois le questionnaire complété par tous, il a pu s’envoyer l’ensemble des résultats par courriel. « Je n’ai jamais vu personne répondre à des questions de français avec autant d’enthousiasme », ajoute-t-il. L’enseignant a définitivement aimé l’expérience et il souhaite bien recommencer.

Blog U.: Puzzled by Patron-Driven Acquisitions - Library Babel Fish The buzz at the recent Charleston Conference (and practically every other recent conference at which academic librarians have gathered) is a combination of new formats and a new collection development philosophy, shifting from print collections with titles chosen by librarians and faculty to making thousands of e-books available and letting the purchasing choices be made by "patrons"--an old-fashioned term for library users of all stripes, a large contingent of which are undergraduates writing "research papers" that are mostly papers synthesizing other people's research. (Though one might think the "research paper" that has little to do with genuine research should have disappeared sometime after 1982, when Richard Larson famously skewered it as a "non-form of writing" that gives authentic research a bad name, but in fact this kind of expository writing from sources is more prevalent than ever. But I digress.) I'm not faulting the companies that are making these products available.
An Evaluation of Library Instruction Delivered to Engineering Students Using Streaming Video Jack M. Maness Engineering Reference and Instruction Librarian Gemmill Engineering Library University Libraries University of Colorado at Boulder Boulder, Coloradojack.maness@colorado.edu Abstract This paper evaluates the use of streaming video applications in the delivery of information literacy instruction to engineering students. Introduction CAETE is the distance education entity of the University of Colorado's College of Engineering and Applied Science. The lectures are recorded using Tegrity software, a program that captures the lecturer's desktop, physical image via a digital camera, and audio of the classroom (see www.tegrity.com). Literature Review The use of streaming video technology is not new in librarianship, and while a fairly extensive literature regarding its feasibility exists (cost, technical requirements, etc.), little has been written on its viability (how users perceive and use it) and efficacy (how well it imparts instructional content). Methods Results Conclusion
ACRL | Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education The Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education (originally approved in 2000) were rescinded by the ACRL Board of Directors on June 25, 2016, at the 2016 ALA Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, which means they are no longer in force. This document (and the PDF) will remain on the website until July 1, 2017 to allow for the transition to the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. ACRL is developing resources to assist librarians in using the Framework.
