Item CH.11 Using Statistical Gathering Tools to Determine Effectiveness and Accountability(ALA TechSource, 2013) Baldwin, Lora K.; McFadden, Sue A.Assessment is commonplace in academia and libraries are not immune to the scrutiny placed on other academic units. Shrinking budgets, mixed with inflationary database and journal costs, force libraries to justify every expense. While librarians may think that LibGuides are wonderful, how does a library evaluate and assess, and ultimately justify, the product’s worth? The chapter explores ways to value LibGuides through review of statistics and other factors using a rubric.Item eTexts and Ham: The Scholar’s Book Fair(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2021-10-28) South, Beth; McFadden, Sue; Shao, ZihangNutrition Information: Similar to Scholastic Book Fairs, which were carnival-like events that created an exciting environment for children to engage with books and reading, the Scholar’s Book Fair is designed to do the same with getting faculty excited about affordable content and digital technologies such as eTexts, OERs, Pressbooks, virtual reality, and underutilized library resources. Faculty are able to drop in to the event at any time, visit the different stations devoted to a certain platform, and collect “scholar dollars” from each station, which they then exchange for prizes and a raffle drawing.Item Expanding Boundaries: Creating an Online History Course.(Indiana University East & Society of Indiana Archivists Annual Meeting, 2018-04) South, BethThe IU East Archives discussed the creation, the tools, and the challenges it encountered in creating an online campus history course featuring archival materials. With a small, relatively unknown collection at a school with many online students, the archives faced an engagement challenge. They set out to make the archives interesting to students, reach out to those who are strictly online, and to extend their presence further into the community and engage with the alumni population.Item Exploring Information Ethics with Undergraduate STEM Students(2016-06-27) Baldwin, Lora; McFadden, SueObservation of students in a for-credit Information Literacy course demonstrates response to information ethics in all its forms. This poster session will explore the literature and provide ideas for further analysis. What are the tools provided to help undergraduates gain knowledge and experience in understanding information ethics? A literature review provides articles on coursework and assignments that help STEM-undergraduates learn about information ethics and application directed specifically to science majors. This poster explores possible interactions and assignments designed to challenge student thinking. Students need to separate fact from opinion, an important critical thinking goal in higher education and scientific work. In the new information environment, opinion is represented as fact, and scientific concepts are represented as opinion. The concept of peer-reviewed literature is sometimes difficult for undergraduates to grasp. As educator’s we provide definitions and examples, but what learning methods assure understanding for all students in a course or program? The assignments have students: define the concepts of opinion and fact by reviewing controversial issues from different perspectives; explore the context of citations; explore copyright and plagiarism; develop individual literature-research plans; and analyze the peer review process using examples of misconduct to explore the effects and outcomes. Questions include: How do STEM students perceive information ethics? Will structured ethics assignments impact learning? How do new methods of information sharing impact student’ understanding of information ethics? Are students who are aware of information ethics able to apply that to future research assignments?Item Faculty Fellowship in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2021(IU East, Academic Affairs Office, 2021) South, BethWhat are Open Educational Resources (OER)? What do IU East faculty think about OERs and is training important?Item Gaining P’interest: Academic Images Reimagined(2016-06-25) McFadden, Sue; Baldwin, LoraLibraries continually renew the concept of library-services. Social Media is a proven method of contact, collection and marketing for libraries. This session will provide ideas and methods of creating a visual conduit into the e-world for e-books, database articles, archives, and other online resources. The presentation includes ideas on how to discover and use academic-resources to locate, “Pin”, and share relevant content with courses and the community of users. In addition, this poster will examine means of assessing the usability of web sites to include. Viewers will learn how to create information access that graphically leaves a trail to follow for multi-modal library-users. Examination of the literature provides context for the “Pinnable” exchange of ideas. Use Pinterest settings for best effect and double your impact by sending Pins to your academic Facebook site. Examples and outcomes of information literacy coursework using Pinterest are provided to help other librarians develop their own content-related-Pinterest sites. Pinterest has generated a large user population. How will we know if students build on this idea and create their own Pinterest boards for research and information access? Answers to this and other questions are discussed at this presentation. Pinterest Business accounts have analytics available to quantify usage. Monthly data provides an account of the top boards seen and also the engagement of Pinners. Further analysis of the data and your email notifications can help you gain understanding of who is repining and following the Academic Pinboards.Item Getting Started with Kanopy: From Trial to PDA Implementation(American Library Association, Association of College and Research Libraries, ANSS Currents,, 2020-10) Elizabeth (Beth), SouthThis overview shares the steps involved in implementing Kanopy’s Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA) model for streaming films. Please see the ANSS Currents Spring 2017 issue by Carolyn McCallum and Jeff Eller for a review of Kanopy’s film content for Anthropology, Sociology, and Criminal JusticeItem Growing Student Research, One Article at a Time(2017-06-25) McFadden, Sue AThe information shared in the poster describes the steps taken to begin to publish the Journal Student Research at IU East. The poster describes process, example documents, and links to information about planning, process, options, and technical information.Item NATIVE AMERICAN RESOURCES-Review of Native American Archives(ALA/ACRL/ANSS, 2012-10-18) Clements, Helen; McFadden, SueIntroduction from the article, "Studies of indigenous people in North America have grown significantly in the last generation. While they began largely in the writings of anthropologists, missionaries and government administrators, today’s indigenous studies are multidisciplinary and cover the literatures of the social sciences, the humanities, and the sciences. They extend from the populations of Canada’s Arctic North to Northern Mexico and from Hawaii to the Caribbean. There is a real need for in-depth indexing on Native topics that meets the specialized needs of scholars in these fields. There is also growing consciousness that indigenous people deserve to speak for themselves; that their stories will differ in many ways from the stories that have been told for them. Access to primary source documents such as census records, treaties, and tribal membership rolls, especially those which were removed to the Indian Territory and underwent allotment of their lands in the nineteenth century can provide insights not available from secondary sources. With this goal, we have chosen two sources published by EBSCO that provide in-depth information on Native North Americans."Item The OER Awareness Campaign: Small Steps in OER Programming(Indiana University East, 2022) South, BethThis presentation provides ideas to support campus awareness of the growing benefits of OER in small steps and related programmingItem On a scale of one to check: fake news and IU east(2019-11-21) Lowe, KTAlcott and Gentzkow ‘s definition (2017) has appeared to serve as a benchmark in the literature, as it acknowledges the online nature of “fake news” in its current iteration. While fake news is hardly new as a concept (Darnton 2017, who cites 6th century CE propaganda against Emperor Justinian), its online nature, speed of delivery and intentionality are heightened to dimensions that require a broader definition than in the past.Item On the Road Again, with a Low-Tech, Community, Mobile-Maker's Space(2017-06) Baldwin, Lora K.; McFadden, Sue A.This poster describes 2 academic librarians’ community service project, Needs for Beads (N4B) that began in 2015 as an idea to provide service to our community through bead and craft projects and workshops, in the Richmond, IN area. The initial plan was to serve local Non-Profit Organizations (NPO) and other groups of people in need of creative, hand-mind projects. Individuals in unexpected circumstances have many needs, and generally diverse funding, organizations, donations, and government agencies support and provide the necessities. But what about individual’s mental well-being? Stress significantly impacts health and well-being. A beading/craft project will not solve all problems, but it offers an experience of mind and hand interaction to set aside the seemingly insurmountable for a moment of peace. As the program has developed, it fits in with the concept of a low-tech, Mobile Makerspace. The craft projects are portable and may be created in a variety of physical spaces; it does require equipment and supplies.Item The Online, Interactive Exhibit Book: Using Scalar to Highlight Faculty Content in the Archives.(Indiana University East & Kentucky Council on Archives Annual Meeting, Frankfurt, KY., 2019-05) South, BethScalar, a project of the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture (ANVC), is an open source authoring and publishing platform that allows archives, museums, and libraries to bring media from multiple sources togethe create long-form, born-digital content. As part of the Indiana University Bicentennial, the IU East Archives sought a way to showcase content so that it could be accessible to online students and researchers. Scalar allowed the archivist to create a digital book containing photos, oral histories, news articles, and research. This talk will provide an overview of Scalar, a rationale for the project, and the challenges and benefits of using the platform.Item The Rainbow in Rose City: Documenting, Engaging, and Celebrating the Richmond, Indiana LGBTQ Community(2019-11-09) South, Beth; Rountree, PhD, TravisThe idea for this collaborative project, featuring a mix of student research and primary source gathering, grew from the Indiana University Primary Source Immersion Program that we both attended in the summer of 2018 in Bloomington, Indiana. This program connected faculty with special collection librarians and archivists in order to incorporate more primary source research into the classroom. Archivist Beth South was interested in adding more student research and diverse collections to the IU East Archives and Dr. Travis Rountree wanted his Eng-W270 argumentative writing course to address rhetorical constructions of LGBTQ identities in the Richmond, IN area and to have his students establish an LGBTQ archive collection. As Richmond or Wayne County didn’t have any type of LGBTQ collection available anywhere and the LGBTQ community has been mostly closeted, the course was adapted to have the students build and contribute to the first LGBTQ archive collection for Richmond and the surrounding areas.

A review of the literature provides a narrow focus on undergraduates. How can academic libraries and librarians define their work to support PIM? Should there be intentional learning opportunities for undergraduates? What is the next step in digital/information literacy? As librarians expand their skills to actively include PIM in their interactions with patrons/students, this changes library services. This change can be described as moving the organizational structures of yesterday’s library into the new technologies as students and patrons adopt their own information management skills. Stem undergraduates, as individuals practice PIM and are active-information managers, accessing a configuration of individualized e-tools, selected resources, links and personal organization to support intellectual events and life choices. The individual adapts, upgrades, and organizes for self-awareness, efficacy and actualization. The individual relies on the ability to adapt and reskill in support of a continually dynamic environment. Subject specialties and academic programs provide greater needs for STEM-undergraduates to build individual understanding and flexible PIM resources. The poster discusses the available content and possible curricular implications to support PIM.Item Strategic Planning for Improving Awareness & Adoption of Open Educational Resources(IU East, Academic Affairs Office, 2021) South, Beth; Whitehead, Stephanie; Rivard, TJ; Shao, ZihangSmall steps to spread OER awareness to faculty to begin a practice of OER awareness and usage. Reasonable actions to start. It takes planning and building skills.Item Item Where to Start? Laying the groundwork for an OER program at a regional campus(Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association, 2023-11) South, BethThis chapter focuses on an evidence-based approach to developing and accessing faculty outreach of open educational resources at Indiana University East (IU East). Open educational resources (OER) are described as any teaching or learning materials (i.e., courseware, textbooks, PowerPoint slides, syllabi, lesson plans, images, etc.) that are openly licensed, allowing individuals to retain, reuse, redistribute, remix, and revise the material to suit their needs. Indiana University East is a regional campus of Indiana University (IU) and is the regional leader in public higher education for eastern Indiana and western Ohio, offering over 60 programs and serving an estimated 3,200 students, and employs 300 full-time and adjunct faculty members. The IU East Campus Library is the only library on campus, located in Hayes Hall. The library employs two professional staff members, three librarians, and the director.
