  “When used at the hem, they provide extra fabric that, when blocked, creates the shirt-tail like bottom.

  When used at the bust as shown, they create something of a pocket for the fullness of the bust to fit into without disturbing the side seams.”

  follow Invited Paper Title: Understanding the Learner Experience: Threshold Concepts and Curriculum Mapping, Char Booth and Brian Mathews In order to improve library instruction, we need to develop a richer understanding of the holistic learning and teaching experience of our institutions. Threshold concepts are core ideas in a particular area or discipline that, once understood, transform perceptions of that subject. Curriculum mapping is a method of visualizing insight into the courses, requirements, and progressions a learner negotiates as they pass through a particular department or degree. When understood and applied in tandem, these strategies provide a powerful means of developing actionable insight into the learner and faculty perspective, and highlight pivotal points at which to provide library instruction, resources, and research support. This presentation will explore theoretical and applied applications of of threshold concepts and curriculum mapping, as well as feature an interactive portion devoted to collaborative mapping of threshold concepts key to teaching and learning in libraries.

Microsoft Word – Doc 13.1 IL Standards Recommendation 6-2-2012.docx.pdf

• Microsoft Word – Doc 13.1 IL Standards Recommendation 6-2-2012.docx.pdf

  • Grounded in the scholarly literature and professional experience, members of the Task Force believe that the Association of College and Research Libraries Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education should not be reapproved as they exist but should be extensively revised

  • The Standards] also [extend] the work of the American Association of School Librarians Task Force on Information Literacy Standards, thereby providing higher education an opportunity to articulate its information literacy competencies with those of K-12 so that a continuum of expectations develops for students at all levels.

  • however, changes in technology, scholarly communication, and the information life cycle have contributed to the changing face of information literacy in higher education.

  • college students are tasked with navigating a much wider world of information than ever before—online and in print. Students are not only information users, they are information creators, contributing online content that lives outside the print format, and may take the shape of videos, podcasts or other online multimedia works.

  • Helping students become information literate is more critical than ever before

  • The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) released in October 2007 the Standards for the 21st Century Learner.[ii] These standards replace the AASL and Association of Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning, published in 1998.[iii]

  • The definition of information literacy has become more complex as resources and technologies have changed. Information literacy has progressed from the simple definition of using reference resources to find information. Multiple literacies, including digital, visual, textual, and technological, have now joined information literacy as crucial skills for this century.

  • 2008 the Center for Media Literacy published the second edition of Literacy for the 21st Century: An Overview and Orientation Guide to Media Literacy Education thatexpanded and redefined media literacy, stating that it provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with messages in a variety of forms – from print to video to the Internet.

  • October 2011, ACRL approved the Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education

  • meant to complement the Information Literacy Competency Standards

  • Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy

  • we see information literacy as the essential framework that informs and unifies additional literacy types.

  • The Standards must move beyond an implicit focus on format , Information literacy is not just about learning text (print) literacy, visual literacy, or digital literacy in isolation from each other, but about the interactions between all these literacies (formats).

  • 6. The Standards must address the role of the student as content creator.

  • ACRL AC12 Doc 13.1 6 7. The Standards must address the role of the student as contentcurator.

  • provide continuity with the American Association of School Librarians’ Standards for the 21st Century Learner.

  • 1. Creating Page, and Sub-Page, Friendly URLs (LG1 & LG2)

  • Properly nested URLs are important to the User Experience (UX).

  • Proper Page-Level URL Structure:

        

    http://domain.libguides.com/guide/top-level-page/sub-page

  • 2. Cut to the Chase – Front Load your ‘Best Bet’ Content (LG1 & LG2)

  • front-load the first page of your LibGuides with ‘Best Bets’ resources.

  • 3. Organize Your LibGuides Content for Optimal Use (LG2)

  • Think of each guide, page, box, and asset item as a tool – and organizing them for optimal use helps you build LibGuides faster and maintain them easier. 

  • 4. What’s in a Name? (LG2)

  • Tips:

      

     
    • Name for Findability – when naming your assets, giving it a rich description will help patrons understand what the asset is and how to use it. But, giving it a name and description that you’ll remember will help you find it 3, 6, or 12 months from now. 

     

    • Use Search – in Content > Assets, you can search on an asset’s title and description fields. Use that to your advantage when trying to find assets to reuse. 

     

    • Asset Types – You might remember today that you created a link asset to an e-book, but will you remember three months from now? Save yourself time and frustration and always use the right asset type for content you’re adding. 

     

    • Subject Categories – remember, you can assign subject categories to your assets! In the future, you’ll be able to: 
       
      • Retrieve a list of assets by subject

       

      • Build widgets by asset type & category. For example, show me all the links assigned to the subject area of Nursing. 

  • 5. Streamline Your Image Management (LG2)

  • Sharing is Caring – If you have images that at least one other guide author might want to reuse, add them to your shared image library. 

  • Use Folders – In LibGuide2, create folders and store images in them, making it really easy to find the image you need to use again and again. Try: 
     
    • Naming Folders by Guide

     

    • Naming Folders by Type (Database Logos, Screenshots, etc.)

     

    • Naming Folders by Importance (Reused Images, One-Off Images, etc.)
