Turning a Service Learning Experience into a Model of Student Engagement: The Lighthouse Heritage Research Connections (LHRC) Project in Hong Kong     

Steve H. Ching 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(2):196-206

The digital shift has provided easy access to academic library users, and yet, the usage of archival collections continues to be low. At the same time, the need for innovation in library services for cultural heritage scholarship and its advancement is emerging. This paper outlines a library-led service-learning program that connects students with lighthouse artifacts, archival collections, scholars in global academia, and wider communities. Student engagement cases are provided to illustrate the way in which the librarian utilizes the Framework of Information Literacy for Higher Education by ACRL to work closely with students. These cases also demonstrate how students can contribute to knowledge creation and preservation efforts for a specific cultural heritage topic that is not static, but which keeps receiving new contributions or additions to the depository. Thus, this paper is an answer to the ACRL's call for pilot projects to be assessed and shared with the wider community of academic librarians and support staff. It also builds on emerging roles for academic libraries like engaged learning. Librarians must move beyond simply seeing themselves as partners. Instead, librarians should see themselves as prime facilitators that co-create and co-develop cultural heritage research and historical projects by connecting actors and resources more effectively than any single actor can do alone.  相似文献   

Ecological Study of Graduation Rates and GPA in a Library Credit Course     

Christina Heady  Megan M. Morrison  Joshua Vossler 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(5):642-649

The purpose of this ecological study was to examine the impact of a library credit course on graduation rates and GPA using pre-existing records. Over 20?years of aggregate institutional data were analyzed to evaluate the course's impact on first-time-full-time, white, and black students. Results were mixed: students who took the course were less likely to graduate than their peers who did not take the course but enjoyed slightly higher GPAs at graduation. It was discovered that students taking the course are not representative of the overall student body and struggle academically. Implications for revisions to the library credit course are discussed.  相似文献

We May Be Teaching Information Literacy,but Are the Design First Year Students Actually Getting It?     

Debby R. Wegener 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(5):633-641

The purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes of information literacy instruction for the Design first year students at the Temasek Polytechnic Library. Also of interest was whether or not the librarian was being seen as easily approachable, and if the students were deeming the lessons to be worthwhile. A participant action research approach was used, with the data being collected from multiple choice tests delivered via the institutional learning management system, group exercises, and a diagnostic assessment that was delivered before the workshops. It was found that the students did see the librarian as someone who was eminently approachable, and the majority of them found the lessons to be of value. It was concluded that the use of a diagnostic tool can be very useful in highlighting the gaps in students' knowledge, and that it would be beneficial to use it for all information literacy instruction at TP. Suggested future research could include a study of how much the students retain of IL skills into their third year of study.  相似文献

If we built it,would they come? Creating instruction videos with promotion in mind     

Leticia Camacho 《Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship》2018,23(1):26-34

This article reports on a video project done in an academic library where faculty were included in the production and marketing of the library instruction videos. The videos allowed the librarian to provide a shorter presentation and spend most of her time working individually with each student. The results showed that 97% of the students watched the videos and were able to benefit from the content. The implementation of the videos was a success due to the collaboration of the professors teaching the three courses and the buy-in of the course coordinator; both factors were essential in the success of the video project.  相似文献   

OER evaluation as a means of teaching information literacy in individual and small group settings     

Sarah Evelyn  John Kromer 《The Reference Librarian》2018,59(1):1-9

ABSTRACT

Open education resources represent a great opportunity to reduce textbook costs, but many of them have not been evaluated for quality. Librarians and former students in an introduction to engineering course collected and evaluated open education resources to supplement the course textbook in future semesters. Both searching for and evaluating these resources created opportunities for the librarians to evaluate information literacy skills of these students and to provide instruction to improve these skills.  相似文献

Is There a Future for Journalism?     

Guy Berger 《Journalism Practice》2018,12(8):939-953

A functionalist perspective on the future of journalism would posit that because human society needs journalism, we will find ways to support this communications practice. Yet such a perspective, however consoling, assumes a teleology that is far from guaranteed. What will happen is far from easy to predict; nevertheless, this paper pinpoints several key issues that impact on the future of journalism. It also advances some general propositions and a broad periodisation around UNESCO’s historical role in relation to these issues. The analysis gives particular attention to political and economic matters, the safety of journalists and internet governance. Each of these dimensions entails existential threats to journalism, but some opportunities are also noted. Four paradoxes are also identified, with tensions that may lead to change in one direction or another.  相似文献   

纳米流体液滴撞击固体壁面的实验和模拟研究     

王睿  沈学峰  霍元平  王军锋  郑诺  刘海龙 《中国科学院大学学报》2020,37(2):281-287

液滴撞击固体壁面现象常见于动力机械、喷雾冷却和薄膜材料沉积制备等工业生产中。将石墨烯和碳纳米管作为分散颗粒，应用超声波分散技术制备均匀性与稳定性良好的树脂基纳米流体。利用高速摄像技术，研究纳米流体液滴撞击固体壁面的动力学行为。基于有限元法，通过修正的幂律黏度模型耦合纳米流体的剪切变稀特性，采用水平集方法捕捉相界面的移动，建立纳米流体液滴撞击固体壁面的数值模型。模拟结果与实验结果较好一致，验证了数值模型的正确性与准确性。研究发现实验配制的纳米流体表现出非牛顿剪切变稀特性，纳米颗粒的加入抑制了液滴撞击固体壁面过程中的铺展和回缩行为。随着幂律指数m的减小，液滴撞击固体壁面后的铺展范围变大。随着表面张力的增大，液滴的无量纲直径在铺展阶段无明显变化，但在回缩阶段逐渐减小。  相似文献
