Promoting Personal Connections: Innovative Library Outreach Within Your LMS

Promoting Personal Connections: Innovative Library Outreach Within Your LMS is a poster in the 2020 PNLA Virtual Poster Session. We encourage you to engage in discussion by leaving a comment on the page. The author of the poster will respond to comments the week of August 4-7, 2020.

Presenter: Lorelei Sterling & D’Arcy Hutchings

Track: Academic & School Libraries

Abstract: How can you maximize your library’s presence at your institution in this time of increased online instruction and limited physical access to the library? Connect with your students where they are already: in your learning management system (LMS). This poster session will show you two high impact ways to create community and personal connection with your students. Learn the benefits of developing a library information tab in your LMS and a customized library landing page in every course — using what you already have.

These pages personalize the student experience by linking to 24/7 self-guided help and links to relevant resources, but most importantly provide direct access to librarians. Now more than ever, students need to know that we care about their success and that we are there for them.

This poster is ideal for universities, colleges, and K-12 schools of all sizes that use an LMS and have a library web presence.

Abolitionist De-Escalation and the Library

Presenter: Katy Anastasi

Track: Academic Library

Abstract:
As calls for abolishing the police gain momentum in the United States, academic libraries and library workers are confronted with our own relationship(s) to white supremacy, racist policing, and the prison-industrial complex (PIC).

Without awareness of police violence, deescalation tactics, and alternatives to policing, library workers may feel that dishing off an issue in the library to armed security or police is the safest or easiest option (or, even, a policy). Increasing the presence of officers with lethal weapons and track records of racist, sexist, and ableist violence, however, can further endanger the lives of many library patrons and staff — and especially our Black and disabled community members.

The grassroots abolitionist organization Critical Resistance reminds us that PIC abolitionists strive to “create lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment.” Abolitionists call for investing in community-based systems of care, support, safety, and accountability. As most libraries remain physically closed due to COVID-19 while local police and federal officers brutalize Black Lives Matter protesters across the country, I argue that libraries have not only the opportunity, but also the responsibility, to take steps towards eliminating our complicity in the PIC.

Drawing from my experience as a new-to-the-field, part-time reference librarian, my presentation explores PIC abolition and deescalation as they relate to libraries. Grounded in an abolitionist framework, I propose possible steps and resources for library workers interested in joining the movement to abolish policing as we know it and, together, build a safer and more just world.

Maximizing Student Learning Through Instructor and Librarian Collaboration in the Time of COVID-19

Presenters: Justin Otto, Kathy Rowley, & Qing Stellwagen

Track: Academic Library

Abstract:
This poster details the collaborative work between two librarians and a First-Year English Composition instructor at Eastern Washington University to migrate the library research component of an English Composition course to the online-only environment necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic. During the past three years, the composition instructor and two librarians worked together on composition courses employing a “flipped classroom” model. The library instruction component of composition was a combination of online and in-person content designed to help composition students create original arguments driven by 1) teaching students why and how to do research, 2) walking students through research question development and research guide choices, and 3) guiding students through choosing research sources. Due to COVID-19, they adapted the research instruction section of the course for asynchronous online learning while still meeting and supporting the student learning objectives for the composition course.

This poster incorporates the pedagogical approaches, perspectives and contributions of the two librarians and the composition course instructor to illustrate how a successful conversion to online-only library research instruction was made in short order. It will include information on the effectiveness of the sessions gathered from student feedback, and examples of the recorded instruction employed in the online research instruction sessions.

Presenters: Sherry Buchanan & Maika J. Yeigh

Track: Academic Library

Abstract: Library-supported open access journal publishing has been flourishing amidst the pandemic, but we recognize that our work is rapidly evolving and will never be “business as usual” as we extend our services to meet new needs and challenges. Portland State University (PSU) Library has always been empathetic and service-oriented toward journal editors as we provide hosting and technical support, but now we find ourselves going the extra mile for our editors and authors whose lives have been disrupted — doing whatever it takes to maintain sustainable publishing and highlight social justice. Our focus is directly aimed at helping the underdogs and fostering change.

Portland State University offers an online publishing platform and support for five journals and has uploaded content for two conferences during the pandemic. Readership is at an all-time high across the board. Three out of five journals released issues in May 2020, including our undergraduate journal that had been on hiatus since 2017. The other two hosted journals are publishing in summer and fall, along with a special issue from Northwest Journal of Teacher Education set for fall 2020, solely devoted to manuscripts that take a critical, social justice stance on teacher education at this time of the COVID-19 crisis.

This poster provides readership data for all PSU-published journals, highlights events/issues published this year, and offers strategies that the Library and editors have used to serve as scaffolding and net for authors and each other in a time of unprecedented adversity.

Presenters: Laura Baird & Lynda Irons

Track: Academic Library

Abstract:To measure the Libraries’ impact on Pacific University researchers, we analyzed citations from their publications. By using the cited references of Pacific-published works from Web of Science, our discovery layer (Primo), browser automation, and scripting, we found that 78.0 percent of Pacific-cited works are available through the Libraries. Free or open source content accounted for 17.3 percent of availability, and 60.7 percent were provided by paid library subscriptions. Our analysis included top journals and databases used as well as the number of unique content in each database or aggregator. We will share our analysis techniques, findings, and practical applications.

What Can OER Advocates Learn From The Traditional Faculty Textbook Adoption Experience?

Presenters: Jylisa Doney, & Jessica Martinez, Rick Stoddart

Track: Academic Library

Abstract: Previous research has demonstrated the positive impacts that Open Educational Resources (OER) can have on student retention and learning, but these connections may not be compelling enough to persuade faculty to adopt OER resources in lieu of traditional textbooks and materials. What are OER advocates missing? What could OER advocates do better or differently? To be successful with OER, it is important to understand not only what OER is replicating or replacing in the classroom, but also understand the whole faculty experience around textbook adoption. How do faculty hear about textbooks? How do vendors communicate with faculty? What are faculty expectations when interacting with new textbooks? This poster reports on a campus survey of faculty and their experiences and expectations regarding textbooks adoption. The results of the survey suggest some lessons OER advocates can learn from when interacting with faculty about textbook selection options such as OER.
