Managing Your Rights as an Academic Author
No full textWhat are your rights when it comes to using academic material that you have written yourself and published in a journal or academic text? What did the publishing contract you signed state about copyright? If you are among the many faculty who do not have confident answers to these questions, this workshop will help you examine how to manage your rights as an author going forward, as well as introduce you to the concept of Open Access and the library\u27s institutional repository, EngagedScholarship.

Whip Up a Statewide Team of Affordable Learning Ambassadors
Full text linkIn 2016, OhioLINK, Ohio’s statewide higher education library consortium, reached out to its member library deans and directors asking for suggestions about emerging demands that might be addressed at the statewide level. Library leadership expressed a need to address textbook affordability and to explore how libraries and OhioLINK could lead the charge to make course materials more affordable. OhioLINK developed a multi-faceted strategy, based on a long history of determining different pathways that could work for different institutions depending on funding, staffing, faculty interest, and administrative support. The first course of action was to “whip up” a team of library champions to help support the affordable learning efforts led by OhioLINK

Recipes for Success: Comparing ALA-Accredited MLIS Programs
Full text linkDiscussion about the MLIS degree and what could be done to produce well-prepared new librarians for the workforce abounds in the current literature. As the ALA Committee on Accreditation re-evaluates its standards, and frustrated librarians continue to add to the over 150 comments on the Library Journal editorial Can We Talk about the MLS? by Michael Kelley, the time to re-evaluate the MLIS degree has arrived. In order to effectively move forward, however, a gap in the literature must be addressed: an overview of the MLIS as it currently stands is needed. This dataset presents information about the current requirements, opportunities, and structure of 60 of the 64 ALA-accredited library science programs as a basis of comparison and a foundation for future change. The data were gathered through investigation of program websites and direct consultation of program administration personnel. The results show existing trends among programs in required courses, services and opportunities available for students, online vs. in-person courses offered, and admission requirements. The information gathered in this study may be useful to library school administrators and faculty, those in libraries responsible for hiring and/or training new LIS professionals, recent LIS graduates, those in LIS graduate programs, and those considering which LIS program to attend

Reflective Teaching: Improving Library Instruction Through Self-Reflection
Full text linkIncreasingly, the role of librarians in higher education is shifting from primarily librarian-as-expert to include librarian-as-educator (Holt, 2002). As a result, academic librarians with a wide variety of job titles are finding themselves contributing to the instructional services of their library (Hall, 2013). Even those librarians who have instruction as a principal responsibility may have little to no training or experience in instruction when they begin teaching students in one-shot or credit-bearing instruction situations. In a recent study of employer’s expectations for library instruction training, nearly 90 percent of respondents found instruction to be important to their library (Hall, 2013). The study also found that employers expect new librarians with instruction duties to find training on the job or through observation, not necessarily through formal training programs (Hall, 2013). While informal training may be less than ideal, it is sometimes the only available option to instruction librarians. One way librarians can make concrete, positive changes to their instruction skills without a formal instruction training program is by engaging in reflective practices about their teaching decisions
