    There are many more questions and results on this blog. This particular question just seemed worth pointing out. Have you ever suffered from "OPAC envy" when looking at someone else's OPAC?

  • Early last month Megan posted about recent research connecting academic libraries and student achievement. She mentioned that there are multiple projects in the U.S. currently underway to correlate library use and GPA, and I have results from just such a project to share with you all!
  • In a recently completed study at University of Wyoming I discovered a positive correlation between upper-division library instruction and higher GPA at graduation (by upper-division, I mean post-first-year). This is based on an analysis of 4,489 transcripts of graduating seniors at the University of Wyoming, and the transcript analysis was supplemented by focus groups with graduating seniors
  • Look for the article in the March or June 2012 issue of Evidence Based Library and Information Practice. Here’s the citation: Bowles-Terry, M. (2012). Library instruction and academic success: A mixed-methods assessment of a library instruction program. Evidence Based Library and Information Practice.

  • Each of the CIL tests has an online tutorial and a practice test so you can really test your CIL skills before taking the actual tests. Some students prefer to just come take the tests, and if they don't pass, they can see in which areas they did poorly, so they know what they need to study on the tutorials. You can also come in to one of our Tuesday or Thursday night Short Courses and have a CIL Technician review one of the tutorials with you.

      How do they enforce these CIL tests? What motivates students to take them?

    I especially liked this quote: I'll call attention once again to the University of Wisconsin-Madison's House Party as an example of an excellent new year kick-off event. There's no bait-and-switch, but they have built-in incentives to keep students coming back to use the library for its intended purpose. For example, the winner of the Texas Hold'Em tournie wins their own study table in the library for the year, complete with a nice sign designating it their table. The first interaction most new students have with a librarian is having their palm read or playing ninja tag with them, not finding out about resources which they don't yet need. We do much the same with our button-making booth and CARNinfoVAL. It's a strong, unexpected first impression.
