ACRLog » Can We Flip the Library Classroom? - 0 views

  •  
    Short article by Maura Smale published April 30, 2012 posing the possibility of flipping the library instruction classroom. She raises the challenge of flipping a classroom that is already discussion based, and also brings forward the idea that if in these classes it is challenging to have students to reading ahead of time, what hope is there that students would come prepared to a flipped classroom?

The Humanities in process, not crisis - 0 views

  •  
    by Anne Jumonville, C&RL News February 2014 Central research questions: "How do nonlibrarian faculty adopters of information literacy in the humanities incorporate information literacy in a variety of disciplines? What are their conclusions about the results of this effort?" Argues that it is possible to integrate information literacy concepts as outlined by ACRL standards into assignments in the humanities classroom where the assignments add value to the research process and student learning. Strategy 1: Assigning annotated bibliographies, some which asked for a reflection of the research process to be included in the annotation, creating online annotated bibs that allowed for links to sources. Strategy 2: Using online discussion forums to talk about the research process.

asking for it « Bethany Nowviskie - 0 views

  •  
    Blog post by Bethany Nowviskie in response to OCLC's report on digital humanities and academic libraries. In it she challenges the underlying assumptions and implications of the report. She argues against a "one-size fits all" approach to starting DH centers and calls for a collaborative approach to DH. "Librarians are helping to philosophize DH, not just support it."

InfoLit Zine Pic by UG Librarian @chrisdaaz - 0 views

    Four volume zine on info lit by academic librarian. I really love this non-tech, low-budget approach to providing materials about bibliographic instruction. It's a great way to think about non-traditional formats in academic settings.

Picking Your Topic IS Research: NCSU Libraries - 0 views

  •  
    Fantastic video by NCSU libraries, just over 3 minutes long, explaining the best way to select a topic for a short research paper. I really like that this shows the common pitfall of selecting a topic, then doing research, and feeling stuck because, as it turns out, there are no scholarly resources. This explains the process to students about having an idea, doing some exploratory research, tweaking your topic, etc. Really nice production quality, too.
