1 IOLUG Fall Program November 1, 2013 Indiana Wesleyan University, North Education Center 3777 Priority Way South Drive, Indianapolis, IN Digital Libraries: Live Spaces, Learning Places 9:00 9:30 Registration and continental breakfast Poster Sessions Begin 9:30 10:00 Welcome and Business Meeting Poster Sessions for those who aren t members 10:00 10:05 Break; Poster Sessions closed until Lunch 10:05 10:55 KEYNOTE Title: Maker Mentality in the Learning Commons Speakers: Emily Thompson, Suny Oswego Penfield Library Description: What does a MakerSpace in an academic library look like? Chances are, it looks very much like a learning commons with a few tweaks. This program will look at the ways Penfield Library is infusing its commons with a maker mentality to bring out the creativity in our students. 10:55 11:05 Break Option A 11:05 12:00 Title: Digital Collections Made Easy: Exploring the Omeka Platform Speakers: Bryan Brown, Indiana University Lilly Library Description: Omeka is a free open source platform built to simplify the process of creating digital collections. This session will explore what Omeka is, how it works, why it is a great solution for libraries looking to build a digital collection online, and tips for librarians interested in deploying a digital collection of their own using Omeka. Option B 11:05 12:00 Title: From Distance Education to Online Learning: Practical Approaches to Information Literacy Instruction and Collaborative Learning in Online Environments Speakers: Michael Courtney, Indiana University and Sara Wilhoite Mathews, Ball State University Description: The increasingly ubiquitous nature of online learning, both as a mechanism for course content delivery as well as a means for complementing or

2 enhancing the traditional in person classroom lecture, has necessarily changed pedagogical approaches. Educators are attempting to reimagine the old sit and absorb model of distance education that often hinders the interpersonal connections commonly experienced in traditional in person courses. Current models of online learning can be viewed as a hybridization of the traditional classroom with the technological advancements of distance education delivery. From a pedagogical sense, then, how can online learning effectively foster student centered, active learning, creative environments that encourage collaboration and discussion? Online learning librarians from Indiana University and Ball State University will discuss methods of instruction for online learners, using learning management systems and tools as well as online learning objects, as mechanisms for creating a platform for student investment and ownership in the learning process. From online forums and blogs to the creation of research guides and beyond, participants will be introduced to theoretical and practical approaches to improving online information literacy instruction. Additional discussion will focus on how these methods and approaches can enhance teaching, training, and peer collaboration within the library workplace. 12:00 12:45 Lunch, networking, and poster sessions Option A 12:45 1:45 Title: Mistakes to Avoid When Creating an Online Tutorial Strategy + Guide on the Side Speakers: Andrea Cohn and Sean Socha, Harrison College (Online Tutorial Strategy) Speakers: Teresa Williams, Butler University (Guide on the Side) Description: The Harrison Librarians have been creating online video tutorials for over three years. In this session, we'll discuss some of the lessons we have learned, including choosing software, preparing scripts, shooting video, and choosing hosting sites wisely, We will also share some best practices we have adapted so that you can avoid some of the mistakes we have made along the way. Description: For the past several semesters, librarians at Butler University have used online tutorials to introduce and supplement in person library instruction. This fall, with technical support from PALNI, we ve replaced screen capture tutorials with interactive tutorials created using University of Arizona s Guide on the Side software. In this session, we will share our experience with installing Guide on the Side, and creating and using tutorials. We ll also share feedback we ve received from faculty and students.

3 Option B 12:45 1:45 Title: Information Literacy Integration & LibGuides: Framing Research as (Higher Order) Process Speakers: Andrea Baer, Indiana University Bloomington Description: The now widespread use of LibGuides among academic librarians reflects a growing interest in moving beyond the one shot and looking to sustainable models for information literacy integration. As numerous librarians have shown, course specific library guides can be a powerful way to reach students as they actively engage in the research process. At the same time, some instructors express legitimate concern that LibGuides are an easy shortcut that prevent students from learning how to do library research independently. 1:45 1:55 Break Option A Reflecting on this reservation, workshop participants will explore ways to ensure that course specific guides truly meet the learning goals and needs of a given class. Among the issues we will consider are higher order skills related to research and information use, process oriented approaches, and instructional scaffolding. 1:55 2:40 Title: Beyond the Library: Creating a Mobile Campus Tour Speakers: Ben Rawlins, Georgetown College Description: The expansion of mobile device usage has created an exciting opportunity for libraries to develop services and resources to reach the ever growing group of mobile users. At Georgetown College we have seized this opportunity and developed several mobile friendly resources. We have developed the LRC application (available on ios and Android devices), the LRC Catalog ios application with an integrated barcode scanner, and a mobile website just to name a few. While these ventures have been successful, we wanted to reach campus users outside of the confines of the library. What emerged from that was the development of TigerTrax. TigerTrax is a historic and photographic guide to Georgetown College specifically designed for mobile devices. This presentation will focus on the initial development of TigerTrax, plans for future enhancements, and the collaboration from other departments on campus. Option B 1:55 2:40 Title: Becoming Part of the LMS Sandwich: The Embedded Librarian in the Learning Management System Speakers: Jessie Long, John Burke, and Beth Tumbleson, Miami

4 2:40 2:45 Break University Middletown Description: Students are often overwhelmed by the demands of online research, and do not take the time to visit the physical library or even use the library's website. How can librarians connect with students and teach them digital literacy and information literacy skills? By collaborating with faculty and integrating themselves into the learning management system (LMS), librarians build a virtual presence in the learning nexus for face to face, online, and hybrid courses. Whenever students log into their LMS course sites to interact with faculty to work on research assignments, they may encounter an embedded librarian, familiar with their assignment and able to guide them to relevant electronic resources and library services. The embedded librarian shares links to library databases, research strategies, and screencasts to provide quick access for students. They answer individual student questions, keep pace with course developments, and create learning objects on demand. Join a team of embedded librarians as they describe their five year outreach to faculty and students through their university s learning management system. Learn how to market embedded librarianship to faculty, how to build inviting course content for students, and how to effectively collaborate in learning at your institution. 2:45 3:30 Keynote Title: Using Google Glass to Teach Privacy Speakers: Jen Waller, Miami University Libraries Description: Google Glass is Google s latest consumer technology and is a wearable, head mounted computer that acts like a voice activated, hands free smartphone. Hailed by some and reviled by others, Glass provides a peek into the future of information delivery and a route by which to discuss privacy and sharing. In August 2013, Google chose the presenter as a "Glass Explorer" one of approximately 8000 people using Glass. This presentation will demonstrate how she integrated Glass technology into instruction about privacy and sharing for Miami University students. 3:30 3:45 Door prizes Poster Sessions: Going Beyond the Classroom: Incorporating Information Literacy with Jing Sarah Crissinger, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign

5 As in person reference statistics continue to steadily decrease, the need for librarians to showcase the variety of resources and services they have to offer continues to increase. Information literacy initiatives seem to be the only way bridge the gap and tackle both of these issues (Maddison, 2013). Reference desk interactions provide librarians the perfect opportunity to bridge this gap by extending information literacy beyond the classroom. While working with students one on one at an in person desk enables librarians to teach students efficiently, virtual interactions can be more challenging. Jing, a screencast tool made by TechSmith, allows librarians to facilitate learning with every interaction. Using Jing teaches students how to search, limit, and evaluate items themselves while still helping them find the item virtually. This poster session will focus on what types of chat interactions Jing is most suited for and how Jing compares to other screencast software, including Camtasia. Handouts will include sample chats that either utilized Jing or could have been improved by utilizing Jing as well as a guide on how to download and use Jing at your library. Maddison, Tasha. (2013). Learn Where You Live: Delivering Information Literacy Instruction in a Distributed Learning Environment, Journal of Library & Information Services in Distance Learning, 7(3), , DOI: / X Select and Present Useful Apps Kirby Cheng Almost everyone has a portable mobile gadget. It can be a palm size iphone, a notebook like ipad, or an Android tablet. As most mobile devices need apps to access certain publishers online content and perform some unique functions, we collected, evaluated and compiled a list of useful apps and published them on the web site of Indiana University South Bend library. The presentation will focus on the selection criteria and the methods to effectively present the apps to library users. Social Meets Learning: a personal approach to LMS Laura Menard & Ryan Keller In the fall of 2011, one third of the students at Harrison College were taking all their courses online. Distance learners, non traditional students, and busy adults looking for an alternative to the classroom model of education all take advantage of online classes, and it's not just a trend that we're seeing at Harrison. Across the nation, online courses, MOOCS, and blended classrooms are becoming the norm. KnowU was Harrison College's response to some concerns about the online model of education: that online classes aren't as engaging as classroom learning, response time from the instructor can be slow, and the sense of community that comes with a traditional college campus can suffer.

6 KnowU is an interactive, graphics rich, customizable "skin" for our LMS, Angel Learning. Some of the features of KnowU are as follows: Ability to synch with other social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) Analytical engines suggest personalized resources for students based on academic, personal, and career needs. Access to built in 24/7 support systems. Groups feature for extracurricular interests as well as class resources. Community wall feature similar to Facebook to allow students to communicate with other students and instructors. Other enhancements to KnowU that are currently under construction include notifications for course announcements and gamification modifications to increase student involvement. For our presentation, we would like to take some time to demonstrate KnowU as a system to IOLUG, show how it has been working for Harrison College, and discuss the future of social media and the LMS. Thank you for your time and consideration.
