Capturing Learning in the Library Commons: A Whiteboard Photo-Ethnographic Study
11:00am - 12:30pm
Uta Hussong-Christian, Oregon State University; Rick Stoddart, University of Idaho
|
Libraries are increasingly called upon to provide evidence of their contributions to, or impact on, student learning. Whiteboards, which fill many learning spaces, furnish evidence via student-generated visualizations. Librarians at Oregon State University undertook an exploratory, term-long, photo-ethnographic study to determine the types of visualization activities in which students engage to help them learn. Results show differences in visualization activities across discipline groups and suggest the need to design study spaces to accommodate those needs. This study serves as a model for those seeking to identify and convey ways in which learning spaces support and contribute to student learning. |

Elizabeth Brookbank, Western Oregon University

Narrative-length, self-directed reading facilitates critical thinking and information literacy skills-building, fosters creativity, increases empathy, and – for students – has been linked to greater overall academic achievement. Given this, readers’ advisory activities, while not generally within the purview of academic libraries, are a novel (no pun intended!) and creative way to contribute to student success. This session will examine the place of recreational reading and readers’ advisory in academic libraries. It will also discuss real-life experiences conducting readers’ advisory with college students, and tips for creatively and effectively promoting recreation collections and encouraging a culture of reading in your campus community.

In this session, we will present how we have used the concepts in ACRL’s draft Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education to guide conversations with faculty about teaching research competencies at Reed College. The Framework and its presentation of threshold concepts is particularly useful for developing discipline-specific teaching strategies and approaches when working with core and gateway courses.

“Do you have any princess stories?” “Where are the “Eyewitness” books?” “What’s the right book for my 1st grader?” Traditional shelving practices don’t always make it easy for patrons to find exactly what they’re looking for…unless we shift towards a “reader-first” approach to collection arrangement. The Wilsonville Public Library now features Picture Books arranged by topics, genre shelves for Children’s Fiction, Early Readers in four distinct levels, and a Non-Fiction Series section. Learn how these and other collection adjustments have changed how young patrons, their grown-ups, and the library staff that help them find the books they really want.
