    Our keynote will examine the progress of work at the intersections of information literacy and scholarly communications, since the publication of “Intersections of Scholarly Communication and Information Literacy: Creating Strategic Collaborations for a Changing Academic Environment,” in 2013. We will discuss the persistent drivers that make the Intersections relevant and essential, including the ACRL Framework released in 2015 and the general higher education landscape, which continues to shift due to changing demographics and economic uncertainty. By focusing on our collaborative and collective action, we will identify how we can continue the momentum behind the Intersections

    Interest in supporting undergraduate research programs continues to grow within academic librarianship. This article presents how undergraduate research program coordinators perceive and value library support of their programs. Undergraduate research coordinators from a variety of institutions were surveyed on which elements of libraries and library services they valued, and where libraries could improve and develop services for undergraduate researchers and their faculty mentors. This article seeks to present a critical perspective on library support for undergraduate research programs from an important external constituent group of faculty and administrators. The data and recommendations can further conversations and aid collaboration between librarians and their campus colleagues.Ope

    "Common Ground at the Nexus of Information Literacy and Scholarly Communication" presents concepts, experiments, collaborations, and strategies at the crossroads of the fields of scholarly communication and information literacy. The seventeen essays and interviews in this volume engage ideas and describe vital partnerships that enrich both information literacy and scholarly communication programs within institutions of higher education. Contributions address core scholarly communication topics such as open access, copyright, authors’ rights, the social and economic factors of publishing, and scholarly publishing through the lens of information literacy. This volume is appropriate for all university and college libraries and for library and information school collections. (Please note: This record and pdf are for the Open Access edition.

    Completing the Research Cycle: The role of libraries in the publication and dissemination of undergraduate student research

    No full text
    Since the publication of Reinventing Undergraduate Education: A Blueprint for America\u27s Research Universities (Boyer Commission 1998), many colleges and universities have committed to systematic programs of undergraduate research. Librarians are increasingly proactive in providing the tools and research support services necessary to build long-term relationships with undergraduate student researchers through a variety of services and outreach including instruction services, space for individual and group research, and targeted collection development. However, two crucial elements are under-developed: dissemination and persistent access to this scholarly work. With the production of original scholarly or creative work comes the expectation to disseminate and share the new knowledge or creation with the scholarly community. A large research university and a small liberal arts institution are collaborating to examine the range of current practices in libraries while documenting the experience of undergraduates in two very different environments. Specifically we ask: Does engagement in the publication and dissemination of their original research help students better understand academic inquiry and knowledge production? How do students understand publishing, intellectual property, and the significance of discrete collections of student research within the context of their broader Web lives? What are the current practices of academic libraries in supporting undergraduate research programs and how can libraries better support the last piece of the research process: publication and dissemination

    Weaving the threads: Scholarly communication and information literacy

    No full text
    Information literacy and scholarly communication are two major outreach activities in academic libraries. We believe these two areas require that librarians engage in conversations and actions related to strategically creating change in the roles of librarians within our organizations as well as within our campus communities. Two publications released in 2013 by ACRL discuss how these two areas can and should be blended in outreach efforts to faculty and students. “Intersections of Scholarly Communication and Information Literacy: Creating Strategic Collaborations for a Changing Academic Environments”(1) is a white paper that was produced by a working group to articulate how these areas intersect. Common Ground at the Nexus of Information Literacy and Scholarly Communication(2) was also published in 2013 and was edited by Stephanie Davis-Kahl and Merinda Kaye Hensley. These works provide an excellent overview of the intersections of both subjects while providing conversational starting points for academic librarians at their institutions

    HOTA Grasses Garden

    The HOTA Grasses Garden was collaboration artists, scientists, and First Nations informants. The site-specific work was exhibited between Jan 2023 and September 2023 at HOTA (Home of the Arts) Gallery, on unceded Kombumerri Country, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, drawing attention to native grasses within a gallery context. The site at HOTA was located outside the Gallery main entrance in the HOTA Gallery sculpture garden, and included the native Australian grasses, Kangaroo Themeda triandra, Barbed Wire Cymbopogon refractus and Scented Top grass Capillipedium spicigerum. A public First Nations-led Yarning Circle event presented at Nerung Ballun/HOTA -, ‘Living Ecology’, built context for the work, with a strong focus on Care for Country - especially native grass and grasslands. In September 2022 the grasses were transplanted to a permanent outdoor site on the public amphitheatre green roof opposite the gallery, assuring the long-term continuance of the project.The project drew on Indigenous cultural, scientific, and artistic understandings to ask, how we might see and engage with Australian native grasses in new, equitable and ecological ways. Such notions of multispecies encounter with, and respect for plants are implicit within Australian Indigenous cultures and practices of ‘Caring for Country’ - and have proven to work because of the mutual responsibility and reciprocity alive in the broader cosmo-ecological frameworks of Indigenous traditional knowledge systems, which are fundamentally different to those of Western extractive colonialism. The sponsoring and planting of a small native grassland artwork/mound fostered a living site for this experimental art/ecology/education experiment whilst engaging a campaign built on partnership, respect, and care. <br/
