Abstract:

Purpose To describe how a personal librarian program at a large university developed, has evolved, and continues to function. This paper aims to assist other librarians in developing their own personal librarian programs. It will also assist librarians who are working to connect to students. Design/methodology/approach To produce this paper, internal documents were reviewed, existing data were investigated, those who assisted in the development of the program were consulted and literature on personal librarian programs was reviewed. Findings Personal librarian programs can be an efficient way to connect to students and can create awareness about library services, especially without a formal orientation for new students. The personal librarian program discussed here connects the library to a large number of students with little time and effort. Planning is important in developing a working program. Practical implications Librarians can use this article to understand how a personal librarians program functions and how it can benefit their libraries. The paper emphasizes revising an existing program to work more effectively and using planning documents and assessment to help an outreach program run smoothly. Originality/value This paper details how a personal librarian program was developed and has evolved as well as how the program functions. The value is in the ways in which the program has been revised and has evolved and in the role that planning has taken in creating an effective program.

Abstract:

School is the gateway of entering into the world of knowledge and school library plays a vital role to introduce the library system among the school children. First duty of the school library is to make the school children as the library user through library orientation programme. Library orientation programme helps to transmit knowledge and information search skills among the students. Students, newly joined teachers and parents are enlisted for the orientation programme which can be conducted in the beginning of the academic session or any specific time of the session. In this article, the components which are related to the school library use, services and activities are discussed. The formal and informal processes of library orientation, requirements for the programme are included. The effectiveness of such programme is always good for the school library users. A number of studies have recommended that it is the crucial time for the libraries to rejuvenate them by preparing suitable users. Library orientation programme creates the awareness among the users about the using of school library.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to provide an understanding of the experience of developing instruction to first-year-experience (FYE) students by introducing multiple library resources in 20 minutes. Design/methodology/approach – Introduce FYE students to library resources using activity-based learning models. Using activity-based learning models, FYE students at Cal Poly Pomona, in Pomona, California, were introduced to multiple library resources that were woven into major library resources that fulfilled FYE competencies. Findings – This paper demonstrates that librarians can effectively conduct library instruction to introduce FYE students to the core library resources in a 20-minute breakout session without the use of written assessments. Originality/value – This paper would be beneficial for academic librarians developing library instruction for FYE students. The instruction designed within this paper provides useful examples for teaching information literacy for limited time, one-shot sessions and semester-long library instruction courses, using active teaching and learning methods that call for student participation and engagement.

Abstract:

This study examines the awareness of the orientation program of the academic library towards the attainment of performance of undergraduates. The research exposes the facts to both students and academic staff on the importance of the library orientation towards understanding the right information usage to aid performance and also create awareness of the image to the social, economic, and educational value of library orientation in Nigerian universities. Five Research objectives were formulated; they are: to know the perception of users about the library orientation programs, to find out how orientation programs are designed towards helping the need of students on proper information utilization, to find out how orientation program impacted to student's academic performances, to examined the challenges occurring in academic library orientation, to formulate solutions to challenges occurring in academic library orientation. The instrument was subjected to face and content validation by three experts, from Library and Information Science, requesting to examine the clarity of expression used as well as the appropriateness of the language used in the instrument. Cronbach alpha method was used to determine internal consistency of the questionnaire items and a coefficient of 0.978 was obtained. With this reliability coefficient yielded, it was deem fit for the research to be conducted using the questionnaire designed for the data collection. The study took a survey of orientation programme of Federal University of Lafia using a descriptive method to analyse data collected, selecting one hundred and thirty-nine (139) research instruments distributed out of which 132 copies were collected for analysis. The population was sampled using simple random sampling technique, and questionnaire was distributed to the selected sampled respondents. The findings of the results obtained from the analysis are that user orientation has an impact vividly on students' academic programs. The orientation has introduced students to libraries around the University for the Information Resources and services provided therein, including the way of accessing and uses. It particularly enhance and improved the use of the library for students in pursuance of their education 100(75.8%) opine that Orientation confirms students access, while 108(81.8%) posits that it creates awareness on how to use the library. It also finds out challenges associated with the exercise; such as unqualified personnel to handle the program, inadequate time to treat all programs, more alarming the lack of collective curriculum amongst universities, uncooperative attitudes of some staffs 86(65.2%) indicated inadequate time to treat all programs. 96(72.7%) considered the use of unqualified personnel. In conclusion, user orientation and instruction has become important in all the tertiary institution in Nigeria, more so it’s assist patrons to know how to maximize the use of our libraries for self-motivated and self –reliant clientele.

Abstract:

For those engaging with first-year students and planning first-year programs in academic libraries, the library orientation is a key part of the work we do. “Library orientation” is often a catch-all term that is used to describe many types of library activities aimed at new college students, including in-class sessions, tours, online tutorials, and more. For a librarian revising an existing orientation program or starting from scratch, the possibilities are almost limitless, and it can be daunting to weed through the many options and settle on one that works for your library, your institution, and your students.

Abstract:

This study is designed to reveal whether students acquire the domains and levels of library skills discussed in a learning library skills theory after participating in an online library instruction tutorial. The acquisition of the library skills is demonstrated through a review of the scores on online tutorial quizzes, responses to a library skills questionnaire, and bibliographies of course research papers. Additional areas to be studied are the characteristics of the participants enrolled in traditional and online courses at a community college and the possible influence of these characteristics on the demonstrated learning of library skills. Multiple measurement methods, identified through assessment of library instruction literature, are used to verify the effectiveness of the library skills theory and to strengthen the validity and reliability of the study results.

Abstract:

Due to a shortage of librarians to teach classes coupled with a growing student body, librarians at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) decided to explore alternative means to deliver instruction. Their charge was to supplement traditional classroom instruction by utilizing ETSU's course management system (Desire2Learn, D2L) to inform students about resources and search techniques. They created a D2L module consisting of short films and documents about the library that faculty could add to their course sites. This paper outlines the process of selecting topics, creating materials for the module, and promoting the module to faculty.

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the Impact of Information and Communication Technology among the Physical Education Students in Alagappa University, Tamilnadu. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 214 students of various branches of physical education. The population includes UG students, PG students and Research Scholars. The findings show that Internet has become a significance source for the students as they use internet for education purposes, research work and updating knowledge. A half of the respondents (72.90%) have stated that internet used for E-Mail purpose only. Up to 72% of the respondents have stated that no computer lab is the prime barrier of using ICT Resources. The study suggests that for the optimum utilization of e-journals, consortia's and various other ICT based resources and services and the library should undertake the literacy/orientation programs on regular intervals for their respective respondents.

Abstract:

Academic libraries in India make use of ICT as tools to meet the information need of users who in this context are students and faculty staff. Academic libraries are established to support the objectives of their parent institutions which are to promote teaching, learning, and research. Therefore, academic libraries are expected to serve the students, lecturers, and other members of the academic community. To meet the information need of users, academic libraries provide various services such as user education (orientation/instruction services), inter-library loan/connection services, abstracting and indexing services, referral services, and circulation services. The finding of the respondents problems encountered while using ICT-based resources and services reveal the fact that, out of 732 respondents, 543 (74.18%) respondents stated too few computers with internet and 421 (57.51%) lack of subscription for more foreign journals for their main problems.

Abstract:

This chapter shares seven examples of transdisciplinary practices in the areas of assessment, undergraduate and graduate classroom learning, with accomplished industry leaders, and using educational technology (in the form of a learning management site) to create inclusive communities. The application of the Critical Incident Questionnaire for classroom and program assessment amplifies the voices of diverse students coming from different disciplines to dynamically impact class and curriculum design for broader engagement. Classroom and industry leader examples include integration of image, artifact, case study, reflection, documentary, image and metaphor generation, movement, orchestral music, chosen art forms, leadership studies and practices, experiential learning, writing, speaking, and discussing to create deep learning experiences that provoke growth, creativity, and the building of communities. Undergraduate students with jobs in a multi-department unit report that a planned and creative use of a learning management system for an online work orientation program results in their perceptions of belonging and connection to the work unit and each other.

Abstract:

Although research and writing for publication are seen as important responsibilities for most graduate students and faculty, many struggle to understand the process and to succeed. Unfortunately, writing centers at most universities do not cater to these kinds of needs, but rather to course-specific needs of undergraduate students. This chapter describes a writing center, The Office of Academic Writing and Publication Support, at Florida International University, USA that was specifically designed to aid the scholarly writing endeavors of graduate students. First, the authors review literature on how individual instructors and programs assist graduate students in improving their writing skills. Then they provide a history of university writing centers and examine the evolution of their purpose. In the second half of the chapter, the authors share their experiences envisioning and building this writing center and creating, implementing, and improving its services. In doing so, they also reflect on successes and missteps along the way. The authors hope this chapter may be especially helpful to educators who seek to create similar centers or services at their own institutions.

Full text

Abstract:

As information resources of all types and disciplines are being stored and retrieved in digital form, libraries are responding to the demands for more effective retrieval of such documents and to provide even more digital access to scholarly and recreational library materials. This has led schools of library and information science to develop special programs, degrees, and certificates in digital librarianship. These programs vary from one school to another, but they all demonstrate the multidisciplinarity of education for librarians who will work specifically with digital librarianship. Library and Information Science education has always had a multidiscipline orientation, with traditional faculty consisting of those with degrees in the fields of sociology, communications, history, public administration, education, engineering, and computer science, as well as advanced degrees in library and information science. But with the advent of special programs in digital librarianship, the curriculum has begun to switch to a multidiscipline curriculum content which may be evolving into a sub-specialization in the field. These trends are examined in this paper and recommendations are made regarding future research needed to determine the advisability and sustainability of this trend.

Full text

Abstract:

As the popularity of video game playing has increased, educators have sought to co-opt video games as an instructional tool. However, educational games have made little impact in either the commercial market place or the average game player’s home library. The modification, or modding, of video games using in-game editors may be used by instructors to introduce educational content to professionally designed video games. This paper examines the effectiveness of a modified video game, Civilization IV, in improving the comprehension and retention of historical knowledge of 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. Students exposed to the modified video game significantly improved their immediate recall of knowledge level history items. Students expressed interest in future educational game playing and felt that they had a better understanding of application level history items. While these results are encouraging, the small sample size of this experiment prevents generalization and necessitates further study.

Full text

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of using the capabilities of Digital Humanities in the preparation of research projects in history. In particular, the article reveals the methodology for using a complex of areas of information computer technologies when working with sources, on the example of studying Russian Theosophical Journalism of Emigration of 1920s-1930s, which can be used when studying other topics by students of humanitarian orientation. The teacher can teach students to use information technology in different ways. First, get acquainted with the databases of archives and electronic libraries. Modern capabilities allow you to remotely analyze the catalogs of emigrant publications. Secondly, the researcher has access in a number of cases to already digitized sources in databases, for example, in the Consolidated Catalog of Periodicals of the Russian Emigration - Emigrantika (http://www.emigrantica.ru/), getting acquainted not only with the text, but also visual information. Thirdly, Digital Humanities allow using a variety of tools for interpreting texts, in particular, programs for creating author's databases with the introduction of hypertext, programs for conducting content analysis. It is these components that allow us to conclude that modern information computer technologies are increasingly allowing historians to conduct a source study of electronic resources, interpret the received primary data, and in the future create more and more advanced distributed systems. Acquaintance of students with the models of work of researchers using the capabilities of Digital Humanities should also contribute to the more active implementation of modern methods of working with various types of information contained in historical sources.

Robotics is a science, which aims at controlling mechanical systems through electrical systems and computer techniques. Robotics has a high rate of applicability but, in order to make it easier to comprehend when it comes to learning processes, methodologies that enhance the student's performance and learning curve, like the project-based learning method, are indispensable. The project-based learning technique diverges from the conventional approach, as it makes the many students the object itself of their learning development, by giving them the power of choice and major control over the entire process. This article aims at presenting the project developed by students from the “Robotics and Its Elements” class ministered at Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto - UFOP. The project dealt with concepts, approaches, explanations, and techniques that created a robot-cell (Melfa RV-2AJ and its peripherals) which used the ROS framework system alongside computer vision resources. The robot, after its completion, was able to perform repetitive tasks such as the detection and gathering of specific physical elements – it can manipulate them properly. To make those tasks possible, a Kinect camera was used to obtain data such as the depth and location of the elements which were in the robot's range of grasp. In addition, a detection mechanism derived from the combination of an open source graphic library called OpenCV with the usage of the HSV color system was an important accessory, so that color calibration and orientation addressed properly. Finally, the designated framework (ROS) suited to establish a connection between the robot and its whole operational environment, in order to make the data-sharing and input signal both able to work over the robot's mobility.
