What’s on the Horizon for Higher Education Publishing?

Keynote—Joan K Lippincott., Associate Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) - What’s on the Horizon for Higher Education Publishing

E-Content: Student Content Creators: Convergence of Literacies

There is ample evidence that students are creating all types of digital content and disseminating it via the Internet. When they graduate from universities and colleges and enter such fields as business, education, government, medicine, research, or the arts, they will continue to produce digital content. Employers often select new graduates for positions in the expectation that they will take on technology-intensive assignments related to the Web presence of the organization. While in school, many students create digital materials without guidance from faculty, information technologists, or librarians, but such products are typically recreational and do not have the hallmarks of academic work. This is not to say that producing academic-quality work in the Internet environment is impossible or beyond our current understandings

Opening Keynote: Fulfilling Our Mission in the Digital Age

Academic libraries have always supported the institutional missions of teaching, research, and service or community. There are many opportunities to enhance that support in the digital environment. Digital tools are fundamental to many research activities and many students would like to use digital technologies in meaningful ways in their education. In supporting digital scholarship, libraries can promote partnerships with faculty in research and teaching. Faculty engaging in digital research frequently involve their students, often including some on their research team and then either developing some of their digital content as part of class work or using the products of their digital work in their teaching. A number of digital projects in the humanities focus on local or regional communities and foster the third prong of the institutional mission for service. At the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) we have been analyzing trends in digital scholarship and their intersection with libraries, teaching, learning, and research. This talk will report on some of the findings from our work and will identify trends and good practice

Learning Spaces

Edited by Diana G. Oblinger. Includes a chapter by former College at Brockport Faculty member Joan K. Lippincott: Linking the Information Commons to learning. Space, whether physical or virtual, can have a significant impact on learning. Learning Spaces focuses on how learner expectations influence such spaces, the principles and activities that facilitate learning, and the role of technology from the perspective of those who create learning environments: faculty, learning technologists, librarians, and administrators. Information technology has brought unique capabilities to learning spaces, whether stimulating greater interaction through the use of collaborative tools, videoconferencing with international experts, or opening virtual worlds for exploration. This e-book represents an ongoing exploration as we bring together space, technology, and pedagogy to ensure learner success.https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/bookshelf/1077/thumbnail.jp

Educating the Net Generation

Edited by Diana G. Oblinger and James L. Oblinger. Includes a chapter by former College at Brockport faculty member Joan K. Lippincott: Net generation students and libraries. The Net Generation has grown up with information technology. The aptitudes, attitudes, expectations, and learning styles of Net Gen students reflect the environment in which they were raised—one that is decidedly different from that which existed when faculty and administrators were growing up. This collection explores the Net Gen and the implications for institutions in areas such as teaching, service, learning space design, faculty development, and curriculum. Contributions by educators and students are included.https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/bookshelf/1278/thumbnail.jp

Collaboration and ETDs: Institutional and International Strategies

Developing collaborative projects requires focused goals and a process that encourages participation and takes advantage of each parties' skills. In this session, the presenter will describe some principles of successful collaborations and some characteristics of good teamwork. In addition, the presenter will discuss collaboration issues for ETD projects at both the institutional and international levels. At the institutional level, collaboration for ETD projects involves a number of constituencies such as graduate students, faculty, librarians, information technologists, and academic administrators. Each group brings skills and resources to the partnership. However, often environmental or institutional barriers exist that impede collaboration. Understanding the incentives as well as the barriers to collaboration will assist in planning collaborative projects. On the international level, many possibilities exist for collaboration on ETDs. The NDLTD itself is a model of a collaborative organization. Recommendations on possible international collaborative initiatives as well as suggestions for collaborative processes will be presented in this session. The presentation will include conceptual issues as well as practical considerations and strategies

Is This a Library?

Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age is a national conference that brings together academic, public and K-12 librarians, administrators, technologists, architects, designers, furniture manufacturers, and educators. Participants gathered to collectively re-think the increasingly important role libraries play in the communities they serve. The conference was held January 8-10, 2018 at the University of Texas and other locations in Austin. In its second edition, Re-think it 2018 is co-hosted by The UT Libraries, the Austin Public Library, the Austin Community College Library Services, and seven additional local library partners.UT Librarie

Interior Design Perspective

Picking out furniture is but one aspect of interior design of new and renovated library facilities, but it usually receives all of the attention. In addition, clients should talk with their designers about the use of color, incorporating cultural and institutional representations, displays and signage that promote content and services, and separation of collaborative and quiet spaces.Ye

Directions in Digital Scholarship

Ce rapport d’une initiative de 2023 de la Coalition pour l’information en réseau (CNI) examine l’engagement des bibliothèques à propos du savoir numérique (DS) et passe en revue les liens avec la recherche intensive en données et en informatique au cours des cinq dernières années et dans l’avenir. Il n’y a pas de formule établie pour un programme de DS, alors qu’il pourrait y avoir de bons modèles et de bonnes pratiques
