Through targeted strategies and a caring environment, the Library of Architecture, Construction, and Design proves small libraries make a big impact on student success
Follow the Leader: Empowering Graduate Book Club Leaders Within EDI Conversations
Full text linkThe poster will focus on multiple case studies from 2020 to 2023, ranging in interdisciplinary topics to highlight all lesser-known historical and contemporary women of color and ethnicity at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. Each term, faculty members select graduate students within the Education Psychology and Leadership program. The elected four members were part of the graduate reader advisory book group. The group helped establish speakers, created discussion questions for the larger and break-out Zoom rooms, co-planned the weekly agenda for the monthly program, and helped connect with local and global partnerships. Each graduate facilitator gained experience in all areas of communication and delivery of large-scale engagement opportunities. The poster aims to provide information about a lengthy book-read program with successes and challenges to inform better how to work with graduate student leaders. This includes an introduction to working with graduate students, 2020-2023 data of the book read programs, graduate student handbook for expectations, and implementation of the beginning stages of creating an extensive scale program with graduate students and future conversations for performance amongst audience members

I have not been in school for over ten years? Can you help me? Understanding and Developing Information Literacy Skills for Non-Traditional Graduate Students
Full text linkStudies by the United States Department of Education have shown that non-traditional students steadily grow within college campuses\u27 enrollment rates. The National Center for Education Statistics defines that most often age, especially over the age of 24 has been the defining characteristic for this population. The direct impact of social class (Bambe & Tett, 1999; Quinn, 2010), gender and age (Merrill, 2014), and ethnicity (Bron et al., 2014) on the individual academic lives of the students. The presenter used Tinto\u27s (1987) interactionist quantitative theory to look at value-added to variables such as socioeconomic background, academic preparation, and achievement level based on a mixture of educational and social engagement.
At Texas Tech University (College of Education), over half of the enrolled students return from an over ten-year hiatus within the academic environment. This presentation will provide information on incorporating instructor-driven digital storytelling in both asynchronous and synchronous formats. The focus will examine real-life experiences, video editing examples, and instructor storytelling; the presenter found that students had overwhelming success with personalized instruction with the instructor that focused on both their research and overall career goals. Additionally, the presenter will provide information on implementing pre-and post-assessment on working with non-traditional students in face-to-face and online environments. Each participant will come away with innovative technological approaches to working with non-traditional graduate students
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
