Learning (2.0) To Be A Social Library, Beverly Simmons
Learning (2.0) To Be A Social Library, Beverly Simmons
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
What do you do when your faculty and staff are 1.0 people living in a 2.0 world? At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga we realized that many of our librarians and staff were unfamiliar with the Web 2.0 technologies that are so important in our students’ lives. We see students devoting an enormous amount of time and attention to online social networking. In fact, Alexa reports that five social networking sites - YouTube, MySpace, Orkut, Wikipedia and Facebook – all rank in the top 10 global Web sites for usage volume. We figured that if every librarian and staff …
The Multicultural Classroom: Plan, Build, Renew - Librarian As Constructivist Architect, Kimberly Davies Hoffman, Susan Preston Norman
The Multicultural Classroom: Plan, Build, Renew - Librarian As Constructivist Architect, Kimberly Davies Hoffman, Susan Preston Norman
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
Of New York State’s largest urban school districts, Rochester ranks lowest with an appalling graduation rate of 39%.1 With goals of keeping our poorest children in school and focusing their futures on college, SUNY Geneseo hosted 50 young “CSI candidates” who worked tirelessly to solve fictitious art thefts. Library research, blogging, public speaking, interviewing, forensic science, and digital photography were among the skills incorporated, forming a solid base of critical literacy for these young scholars. Milne Library helped create an educational yet recreational learning environment by offering instructors, classroom space, technology, potential suspects, and ultimately, one of the indicted “criminals.” …

Library Instruction And Student Engagement In The Age Of Google, William H. Weare Jr., Michelle Kowalsky
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
A typical library instruction session generally includes demonstrations of how to use the library catalog, how to access information via library-provided electronic resources, and how to use the electronic journal list. Given limited time with a new group of students, many librarians would not opt to include instruction on how to effectively and efficiently use a search engine. The 2006 OCLC report College Students’ Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources indicates that “that 89 percent of college student information searches begin with a search engine." Librarians should also consider beginning their library instruction sessions at the place where their students …

We Built It, They Came, Now What? Lessons Learned From Creating A Successful Course Integrated Information Literacy Program, Margaret Fain, Jamie Graham, Lisa Hartman
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
What happens to an instruction program when it becomes successful; when demand for sessions outstrips available teaching space, technologies and teachers? Much instruction literature focuses on building programs, but there is little on managing a program that has become so popular that there are not enough spaces in the instruction calendar to handle the demand. This session will focus on building and sustaining such a program and the challenges to keep it moving forward. Over the last decade, Coastal’s instruction program has grown 68% and the number of students reached has grown 82%.
This session will focus on the success …

Vanderbilt Visions: An Exercise In Collaboration, Melinda Brown, Lee Ann Lannom, Amy Stewart-Mailhiot
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
Five months before the Fall 2007 semester the Committee on Undergraduate Information Literacy (CUIL) and Vanderbilt Libraries were notified their proposal to present one of the weekly sessions for Vanderbilt Visions, the university’s first-year orientation program, was accepted. Through a collaborative effort, over 30 staff from 5 libraries, the Center for Teaching, the Writing Studio and the Learning Resource Center worked together to design and present a session that focused on intellectual engagement at Vanderbilt and explored the differences between college and high school research. This was the first opportunity for the Libraries to work with our campus partners on …
We Go Together: An Information Literacy/English Composition Learning Community, Val Ontell
We Go Together: An Information Literacy/English Composition Learning Community, Val Ontell
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
A Librarian and an English Professor combined their Community College classes into a learning community. Unlike most such collaborations, the two classes were scheduled back-to-back, blending their syllabi into one. The class was conducted as an integrated whole, with Information Literacy components scattered throughout the semester to facilitate learning the material at the most opportune time within the English curriculum. Greater student success resulted. This PowerPoint presentation will cover insights gained in collaborating with another faculty member to create a learning community, obstacles that may arise, and why this can be successful. Information handouts will be provided.
The Tablet Pc: Cool Toy Or Useful Tool?, Sara D. Miller
The Tablet Pc: Cool Toy Or Useful Tool?, Sara D. Miller
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
The tablet PC, or convertible laptop computer, is a relatively new technology - the potential of which is still being tested in the field of education and in libraries. This presentation will provide a brief overview of available tablets, evaluate some of their current uses in libraries and education, and demonstrate how a tablet PC is currently being used during information literacy sessions at Michigan State University. Participants will discuss the tablet’s potential uses in information literacy and will walk away with ideas, information, and best practices for incorporating this new technology into library instruction.
Learning Infused Libraries: Honest Talk About What It Really Takes To Create A Learning Commons, Laura Baker
Learning Infused Libraries: Honest Talk About What It Really Takes To Create A Learning Commons, Laura Baker
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
The Learning Commons concept integrates technology, library services, and other academic support to create a more holistic learning environment. In 2006, the ACU Library partnered with eight other academic entities on campus to transform the library’s role in student learning. Using photos, results from user surveys, and honest talk, we will share insights into how we changed our physical space, our educational role, and our self concept.
Our library conducted user surveys to discover how student learn and how faculty teach. We will first present results from these surveys that guided us in understanding what patrons need in a learning …

Modeling Scholarly Inquiry: One Article At A Time, Anne Marie Gruber, Mary Anne Knefel, Paul Waelchli, Jessica Schreyer
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
Librarians and the Director of the Writing Center at the University of Dubuque describe how they teamed with English faculty to create and implement an assignment that incorporates critical thinking, ethical inquiry, and information literacy in a beginning composition and rhetoric class. In the assignment, a team of faculty, librarians, and writing tutors lead student peer groups as they write a research paper using common journal articles in support of a single thesis. Because a recent campus-wide ethics initiative frames this assignment, students examine topics that may challenge their existing beliefs. Librarians will also analyze qualitative data collected during the …
"Why Does Google Scholar Sometimes Ask For Money?" Leveraging The Economics Of Information And Scholarly Communication Processes To Enrich Instruction, Scott Warren, Kim Duckett
"Why Does Google Scholar Sometimes Ask For Money?" Leveraging The Economics Of Information And Scholarly Communication Processes To Enrich Instruction, Scott Warren, Kim Duckett
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2008
Librarians at North Carolina State University have developed useful techniques for enhancing information literacy instruction through the systematic incorporation of concepts pertaining to scholarly communication and the economics surrounding information. This presentation describes ways to leveraging such concepts as the Deep Web, Google Scholar, the nature of scholarly communication, and the inflated costs of journal subscriptions to contextualize hands-on instruction in the use of library resources. Assessment data from open-ended quizzes and surveys positively reflects students’ attitudes towards this instruction and exposes the impact of such instruction on student understanding about how research is made available on the Web.

An Empirical Investigation Of Group Acceptance Using The Big Five Personality Domains, Arpita Joardar, Linda M. Matthews
An Empirical Investigation Of Group Acceptance Using The Big Five Personality Domains, Arpita Joardar, Linda M. Matthews
Organization Management Journal
In this paper, we examine task-based and relationship-based group acceptances of a newcomer from the perspective of personality theory. We used policy-capturing with an MBA student sample for our study. As predicted, our findings indicated that task-based group acceptance was affected by a newcomer’s perceived conscientiousness, openness, neuroticism, and extraversion, while relationship-based group acceptance was influenced by his/her perceived openness, neuroticism, and agreeableness. However, we failed to find support for the effect of perceived extraversion on relationship-based group acceptance. The implications for groups and suggestions for future research directions are discussed.
Executive Search Relationships – Contacts Between Executives And Search Firm Professionals: Scale Development And Validation, Thomas A. Clerkin, Jeong-Yeon Lee
Executive Search Relationships – Contacts Between Executives And Search Firm Professionals: Scale Development And Validation, Thomas A. Clerkin, Jeong-Yeon Lee
Organization Management Journal
This exploratory study investigates the nature of contacts between executives and search firm professionals, which together encompass the executive search relationship. An initial scale was developed, reviewed by experts and tested. Factor analysis led to a revised scale for further testing, which based on multiple samples identified three types of executive search contacts: (1) search firminitiated contacts; (2) executive-initiated contacts; and (3) contacts for mutual benefit. Correlational studies among these types as well as related concepts in networking behavior are presented, showing executive search relationships to be a unique and distinct measure. A discussion of the executive search construct’s potential …
The Relationships Between Social And Formal Working Conditions And Charisma, Rudi Kirkhaug
The Relationships Between Social And Formal Working Conditions And Charisma, Rudi Kirkhaug
Organization Management Journal
This study discusses the relationship between social and formal working conditions and employees’ propensity to attribute charisma to their leaders in normative and professional organizations. Several studies have argued that crises, organic structures, and social conditions, such as group and organizational belonging, are positively correlated with charisma, while formal conditions such as rules and routines are negatively correlated with charisma. However, this study hypothesized that employees attribute charisma to their leader if they are provided with conditions that help them succeed in performing their work, and if such conditions can be related directly to their leader, such as rules and …
A Naturalistic Study Of Exercise Adherence Among A Community Based Sample At A Fitness Facility, Felicia M. Johnson
A Naturalistic Study Of Exercise Adherence Among A Community Based Sample At A Fitness Facility, Felicia M. Johnson
College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This study aimed at investigating the factors predictive of exercise for short-term (i.e., at least six months) and long-term (i.e., at least one year) adherence at a fitness facility. Exercise adherence, defined through the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) as the maintenance stage of change, and frequency of participation in exercise were measured through member utilization of the fitness facility as it occurred in the participant’s natural setting without interference of the researcher. Each time a member entered the exercise facility they scanned their member card and their attendance was automatically recorded into the membership computer system. Fitness Planning & Positive Appraisal, …
