Parental Leadership: The Mary Poppins Metaphor, Brad Van Alstyne

Brad Van Alstyne

Existing theories on leadership are usually based on efforts we are familiar with in which leaders are easily defined (work, war, sports, etc). Little analysis to date has been placed on the role of parents as leaders outside of the social sciences where the focus of the research is usually an offshoot of psychology or childhood development. The parent as leader is a unique focus in that there are several qualities of the parent role that are quite different from that of the typical supervisory roles we normally discuss, while at the same time it would be foolish to think …

Albertsons Library Data Management Strategic Agenda, Margie Ruppel, Megan Davis, Michelle Armstrong, Amber Sherman

Amber Sherman

Albertsons Library Data Management Strategic Agenda outlines areas of emphasis and specific activities that the library will engage in over the next two years (January 2015 - December 2016) in support of its data management services initiative. These activities will help define an evolving framework where the library serves as an active partner throughout the scholarly and research lifecycle. The foundation for this framework is a commitment to collaboration, open information sharing and discovery, and a focus on providing point of need services.

Movements Toward An Open Research Culture, Sfaa Presentation, Anne Larrivee

Anne Larrivee

As scholars begin their tenure-track position, so too begins the expectation that they will publish within all the traditional channels. However, many of these publication channels often restrict access to who will read and learn from these works. The academic culture has traditionally focused on where scholars should publish, and less frequently on how to make these works open and public. Open access publishers and institutional repositories are influencing academic culture, but there are still many reservations, anxieties, and lack of awareness. Marcel Mauss (1990) is well known for his gift theory, human exchange is expected to be reciprocal. The …

Using Pedestrian Choice Research To Facilitate Resource Engagement In A Midsized Academic Library., Kaya Van Beynen, Patricia C. Pettijohn, Marcy Carrel

Patricia C. Pettijohn

For a one year period, visitors to the Nelson Poynter Memorial Library, University of South Florida St. Petersburg were observed regarding how they negotiated through the first floor and interacted with the library resources and educational displays. Pedestrian choice research was applied to the library to better understand visitor movement and facilitate greater interaction and engagement. To encourage greater interaction, future library design needs to strategize the high demand services and resources along the natural pathways and to the immediate library entrance, while remote locations should be redesigned as desirable destinations that provide high benefits to students and library visitors.

The Most Overlooked Spiritual Discipline - Part 1, Daniel Reynaud, Paul Bogacs

Daniel Reynaud

Listening, while frequently mentioned in the Bible, is virtually never listed as a spiritual discipline. However, the Bible has much to say about practicing it, enumerating the many benefits to be had by listening and hearing. It is a distinguishing skill of both God and Jesus. As humans, listening is a skill to be practiced toward God, toward each other and toward our own self. This article explores the biblical foundation of listening and some of its benefits and implications.

Collaborative Repurposing Of Existing Technology To Enhance Student-Directed Research, Kristi Palmer, Anthony Stamatoplos

Anthony Stamatoplos

An educational team comprising instructor, subject librarian, and digital librarian collaborated to repurpose a digital collection content management system as a tool that solved a multitiered data-collection and analysis problem, enhanced student understanding of ethnographic data collection and description, and provided a means for openly distributing the final product of a community-rooted research project.

Analyzing The Data Management Environment In A Master's-Level Institution., Anthony Stamatoplos, Tina M. Neville, Deborah Boran Henry

Anthony Stamatoplos

The data management environments at research-intensive institutions have been studied extensively. Few studies, however, have assessed the environments at institutions that are not classified as research-intensive, where scholarship and obtaining external funding is still highly encouraged. Using results from semi-structured interviews with faculty from an array of disciplines, the authors describe the research processes and data concerns at a Master's-level institution. A comparison of the results illustrate that, at least at this institution, faculty face very similar issues as those identified at research-intensive organizations and many of the same practices and services could be implemented on a smaller scale.

Collaboration In Library Research, Anthony Stamatoplos, Robert Mackoy

Anthony Stamatoplos

Collaboration provides many opportunities and benefits to partners in library research, as well as to the library profession and literature. Through the application of diverse but complementary perspectives and skills, each partner plays an important role and makes a unique contribution to the whole enterprise. Research collaboration is a relationship and a process in which two or more persons work together to produce new knowledge. Ideally, each party contributes in various unique ways to the endeavor.

Librarians As Improvisers: An Improvisational Approach To Teaching Information Literacy, Anthony Stamatoplos, Edward Trout

Anthony Stamatoplos

Using an improvisational approach in the classroom, librarians can address their own predetermined objectives and also respond to unanticipated questions and concerns as they emerge. Lesson plans and learning outcomes are valuable components of information literacy instruction and assessment; however, they need not imply a rigid approach to teaching. Recent scholarship suggests that using techniques from improvisational theater engages students in their learning and facilitates a responsive and collaborative learning environment. Guided by experienced improvisational actors, participants in this workshop will learn principles of improvisation in a fun and lively setting, and explore ways to apply them to their teaching.

The Role Of Academic Libraries In Mentored Undergraduate Research: A Model Of Engagement In The Academic Community, Anthony Stamatoplos

Anthony Stamatoplos

Mentored undergraduate research is an emergent pedagogy in higher education. It differs fundamentally from course-related student research and is largely independent of the curriculum. Academic libraries should engage formally with the undergraduate research community. To do so, librarians will need to think and work beyond traditional models of library service, most notably in information literacy programs. The intent of this article is to raise awareness about opportunities for library involvement with undergraduate researchers and programs. Lessons from one university, including a formal partnership between a library and an undergraduate research center, suggest some general strategies that academic libraries might explore.

Effects Of Library Instruction On University Students' Satisfaction With The Library: A Longitudinal Study, Anthony Stamatoplos, Robert Mackoy

Anthony Stamatoplos

Consideration of satisfaction should be an important part of the evaluation of library services. Satisfaction depends, to some extent, on patron expectations of services. This study evaluated changes in student expectations following library instruction and how they were related to overall, long-term satisfaction with the library. Satisfaction appeared to be related to student perceptions of information accessibility, staff competence and helpfulness, computer usefulness and ease of use, and skill level for using libraries. The study suggests that libraries may be well served by measuring patron satisfaction and learning what variables drive satisfaction at particular libraries.

The Sacred And The Secular: Aligning A Marianist Mission With Professional Standards Of Practice In An Educational Leadership Doctorial Program, Darla J. Twale, Carolyn Ridenour

Carolyn S. Ridenour

This inquiry was conducted to explore how the characteristics of our university’s religious mission are interwoven into our educational leadership doctoral program and are manifest in the structure and learning experiences that our students encounter. We examined how these characteristics might correspond to or relate to the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards that resulted from national reform initiatives in educational leadership in the mid 1990s. We concluded that the foundations of the PhD program are built solidly on the distinctive characteristics and identity of our founders and are aligned with these professional standards as well. Implications for universities …
