Chapter 4: Case Profile: Ellen Hampton Filgo
No full textEllen Hampton Filgo, an academic librarian at Baylor University, conceptualizes her work as an embedded librarian as improvisational, like jazz, as her instructional help and interaction with students plays off the class discussion in which she participates through Twitter and blogs. This case study outlines how Filgo became a vital resource for class discussions and research on a weekly basis in a first-year university honors course exploring new media studies
A Librarian and a Hashtag: Embedded Virtually in a Classroom via Twitter
No full textTweeting in the classroom has started to take off, with some notable examples such as Monica Rankin\u27s history class experiment at UT-Dallas and Cole W. Camplese\u27s classroom backchannel at Penn State-University Park. Taking these experiments one step further, Dr. Gardner Campbell, Baylor University\u27s Director of the Academy for Teaching and Learning and Associate Professor of Literature and Media in the Honors College, invited Ellen Filgo, Baylor Libraries\u27 E-Learning Librarian to participate in his First Year Seminar\u27s Twitter experiment by becoming the class\u27 Twitter-based reference librarian.
The students in Dr. Campbell\u27s class were required to blog faithfully on the class readings and tweet their observations and notes during the class period. Filgo was visible in the class\u27 Twitter stream, providing links and library resources related to the discussion, as well as in the class motherblog and syllabus wiki. By having a librarian virtually embedded in real-time in the class, the students were able to draw on a wider web of information both during and after the class discussion. The students\u27 views of the library and library services also underwent a transformation as a result of this experiment. This presentation will highlight the librarian\u27s experiences with the class, summarize best practices, and suggest opportunities for application within your own institution

No full textThis paper discusses providing information literacy to interior design students, specifically how over a few years, and several assignment iterations, we moved from a more traditional one-shot library instruction session to a creative ACRL Framework-inspired assignment using Pinterest as the medium for the students' professionally relevant research project. The outcome of our instruction relied on flexible assignment planning, collaboration as faculty and librarians changed roles, and a focus on information literacy skills needed by professional designers
