Session M430 ELD Lightning Talks

1. Session M430ELD Lightning Talks Sponsored by

2. Health, Engineering, and Business Reference Cross-Training at the University of Michigan Libraries Paul Grochowski grocho@umich.edu http://guides.lib.umich.edu/heb/

3. Major Background Resources for Health Sciences • AccessMedicine (textbooks) • MDConsult (textbooks, drug database) • STAT!Ref (textbooks; some EBM content) • Dynamed (point of care clinical resource; EBM) • Up to Date (point of care clinical resource)

4. Industry Information:Value Chain & Market Research • Value Chain: Mergent Horizon • Provides information about public firms’ competitors, suppliers, customers, partners • Shows a company’s place in the industry and “value chain,” the connections between companies that result in a product • Market Research • Hundreds, if not thousands, of vendors sell market research reports and most have web sites! • Kresge doesn’t have the resources to subscribe to most of these market research packages (often tens of thousands of dollars for a dozen or two reports) • Kresgedoes subscribe to MarketResearch.com Academic • Different than publicly available http://www.marketresearch.com/, which acts as a reseller for hundreds of these market research vendors • The Academic subscription includes reports from five vendors: Kalorama, Packaged Facts, Paul Budde, SBI Energy, and Simba Information • Kalorama in particular is useful for medical industry information • ICON (formerly part of Kresge’s MarketResearch.com subscription) reports are next to worthless. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_M_Parker

5. Engineering Reference • ASM Handbooks – Used for finding materials and materials properties, especially for metals • Materials for Medical Devices – Used for finding mechanical, physical, biological response, and drug compatibility properties for materials • MatWeb – Another source for materials properties

6. Assessment • “...learning about tools I did not know even existed...” • “...gave me a place to start with difficult questions outside of my subject area...” • “... the HEB LibGuide is wonderful – I’ve used it a lot already...”

13. Print Engineering Index Volumes: To Keep or Not to Keep Tom Volkening Engineering Librarian, Michigan State University ASEE Annual Conference 2011

14. Print Indexes • Does anyone have a current subscription to a print index? • Have you helped anyone use a print index in the last year? • Do you keep any print volumes of Engineering Index in your Reference Collection?

15. My Question • I am interested in hearing from anyone who has access to the entire online Compendex database and what they have done with their print volumes of Engineering Index?

16. Retain vs. Withdraw

17. Retention Options

18. My Decision • The volumes will be moved from our Reference Collection to our stacks after compact shelving is installed in our reference area and a number of print indexes currently in our stacks are withdrawn.

19. Open mining reclamation information to the world Eugene Barsky, Science and Engineering Librarian, University of British Columbiaeugene.barsky@ubc.ca

20. British Columbia and mining The industry accounts for about 3% of total GDP GDP is expected to grow faster than in other industries (BC Government, 2011 , http://www.guidetobceconomy.org/major_industries/mining.htm) Mining life-cycle… what happens to mine after the work is done Mine reclamation is a complex process, involving governments, industry and academia

21. British Columbia Mine Reclamation Symposium Since 1977, the British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation (TRCR) has annually sponsored the British Columbia Mine Reclamation Symposium to foster the exchange of information and ideas on reclamation. The TRCR originated in the early 1970's, in response to a demonstrated need in British Columbia for greater government-industry communications in the area of environmental protection and reclamation associated with mining.

22. British Columbia Mine Reclamation Symposium Collaboration between the UBC Library, BC government, and mining industry Digitized, uploaded and made available 34 years of conference proceedings 628 papers in total The metadata work was done by the library technical services – shift to a new direction for them

23. British Columbia Mine Reclamation Symposium High usage for this collection Most popular papers accessed 5,000 times / year Next step – working on other conference materials – Tailing and Mining Waste 2011 is the first to come in Summer 2011…

24. Graduate Student Information Literacy Jay Bhatt, Drexel University Peggy Dominy, Drexel University and John T Pell, Temple University ASEE ELD (2011) - session M430

25. Background • We start with a question: • Why is it necessary to think about Information Literacy for graduate students? • Familiarity with information resources • Graduate students in the Biology and Chemistry departments indicated that: • Students were not adept in using their primary databases, especially for extensive literature reviews. • My observations with engineering graduate students –very similar

26. New initiatives • An opportunity to address these issues came in fall 2010 • Bridge to the Doctorate Program • NSF funded program • Engage students from underrepresented populations (African American, Native American and Latino) in graduate study within STEM • 12 students this year • Innovative partnership to help enhance research and information skills

27. Instruction sessions and clinics Instruction sessions over a period of two quarters: • Literature Review • Searching for funding opportunities • Keeping current with new information in your research area • Finding Funding opportunities • Managing references with EndNOTE and/or RefWORKS

28. Hands on experience • Students exploration of articles using databases • Each student had his or own computer • Students brought questions for discussion • Active learning focus through dialog and interaction • Presentation by students as an assignment • Before presentation, students submitted paper using Refworks • Evaluation and feedback to students during individual consultations • Students loved the overall experience

29. Thank you! • Our contact information:Jay Bhatt - bhattjj@drexel.edu Peggy Dominy – dominymf@drexel.edu John Pell - johnpell@temple.edu • Source: Dominy, Peggy, Bhatt, Jay & Pell, John. (2011). Graduate Student Information Literacy, Poster presentation, SLA conference, Philadelphia.

30. Best Practices in Ethical Writing: Creating a Workshop Amy S. Van Epps, Purdue University ASEE ELD Lightning Talk June 27, 2011

31. Start with the End in Mind! Understanding by Design, Wiggins & McTighe, 1998

32. Content

33. Ensuring Understanding: Differentiate between quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing, know when to use each method, and create all three methods when writing Create sufficiently paraphrased versions of texts Write a paraphrase, trade with a partner, critique, share questions during discussion Teach a paraphrasing technique, use HGSE example Alignment

34. Embedded in an Office David E. Hubbard ELD Lightning Talks 2011 ASEE Conference & Exposition

35. The Office • Starts with chemistry chemical engineering • Weekly office hours in the Chemistry Bldg. • Office hours promoted with weekly emails • Emailed to all chemistry faculty and grad students • Office hours (Thurs 10-noon and Fri 1-5pm) • Weekly topic/demo

36. Weekly Topic • Focuses on a particular resource or feature • Topic ideas • Faculty/student questions • New features, updates, or resources • My own experiences • In addition to being an outreach effort, it’s also learning opportunity for me

37. Chemical Engineering • Leverage the weekly chemistry topics • The ChemE Librarian blog and Twitter • Directed to grad students and faculty

38. Results • Office Hours • Patrons: 0-8 consultations/week • Types of questions • Weekly topic • Questions unrelated to the weekly topic • Just stopped in to say “Howdy” • The ChemE Librarian Blog and Twitter • Little activity and few followers

39. From Design Projects to Career Design: A Collaboration Karen Vagts Tufts University

40. Plans for a Digital, Rare Map Room at Stanford ASEE Annual Meeting June 27, 2011 Robert Schwarzwalder Stanford University

41. Provides digital access to map content from the Rumsey collection, donor map collections, and Stanford’s rare map collection. • Combines cartographic and geospatial services into a seamless suite of services both in paper and digitally. • Sophisticated searching across collections exposing content from a variety of sources. • Access SU’s rich collections to place the maps in context with other materials throughout the library.

42. 3D maps with fly through capability 2D maps with the ability to compare, resize, and view different thematic or time period maps in the same space Georeferenced map in Google Earth
