We discuss a variety of projects and innovations that have developed from this collaboration and provide insight into how to build and foster successful partnerships. We will also share some of the challenges we have faced creating and sustaining collaborations outside of the library and invite feedback and discussion as to how to overcome some of these obstacles.

Specifically, found proliferative images (digital memes), are arranged as though they have evolved visually. The project begins with two bookends, an image of isopods, creatures whose fossil record dates back 300 million years, and an image of Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist who introduced the concept of memes. These images were then connected through a kind of visual tracing back, in which visually similar found images act as stand-ins for the logical evolutionary steps that would otherwise connect Dawkins with 300 million year old forms of life.

Join us on a do-it-yourself quest to harvest meaningful assessment data from real student work. Learn how librarians are implementing a campus-wide information literacy assessment rubric for senior capstone projects. We’ll share how we aligned our homegrown rubric to institutional and national standards, used free cloud-based tools, and planted the seeds for "slow assessment" across campus. If our small library can do it, yours can too!

Learn how we adapted technologies already in place at Purchase (Moodle, LibGuides, and Drupal) to enhance and streamline the process of researching, developing, submitting, and archiving Student Projects. The development of the Student Projects digital repository will make a meaningful contribution to Purchase College’s institutional memory and serve as an inspiration to other institutions interested in preserving student scholarship.

This session provides an inside look into fashion blogs, from research and creation to preservation. Kimberly Detterbeck, Marie Sciangula, and Nicole LaMoreaux have recently completed research regarding the information seeking behaviors and research methods of fashion bloggers. This segment of the presentation will offer an enlightening exploration of how bloggers function as researchers and knowledge creators, a population not yet explored in librarianship. Ari Seth Cohen is the creator of Advanced Style, a blog devoted “to capturing the sartorial savvy of the senior set". Seth-Cohen will discuss the sources of his inspiration which led to the documentation and creation of a blog, a book, and a film about fashionable older women. Finally, Lisa Ryan will discuss LIM College's use of Archive-It to preserve both the college’s website and a collection of fashion blogs. She will examine the challenges and opportunities presented by preserving a medium (the web) and subject matter (fashion) that are both inherently ephemeral.

We will show how we adapted technologies already in place (Moodle and LibGuides) to enhance and streamline the process of researching, developing, submitting, and archiving students’ culminating educational experience. We will show how librarians, catalogers, developers, and TLTC staff partnered to create a workspace that has taken Student Projects from a traditional paper-based process to a digital, dynamic, student-centered venture that are interwoven with reference, instruction, assessment, and access. The poster will include a timeline depicting major milestones in retooling the Student Project process. We will have an iPad to show the digital workspaces in Moodle. This poster could serve as a model for campuses using an open source LMS to replicate.

An environment conducive to partnership and the exchange of ideas has fostered numerous projects that have enhanced student learning, deepened relationships with teaching faculty, and improved workflows. We summarized these projects, outlined our future goals, and provided direction for those wishing to develop similar partnerships and projects in the future.

Our report is comprised of a literature review, information gathering methodology, conclusions drawn from survey results and overall observations about the research methods and information needs of fashion bloggers. The intended audience of our report will likely be researchers/librarians working with/for fashion bloggers.

The purpose of this Edit-a-thon is to contribute to and improve articles on Wikipedia for the national Black WikiHistory Month outreach campaign and help address the underrepresentation of minorities as both subjects of articles and as contributors to Wikipedia.
We’ll be looking to students and faculty to identify information gaps, use their research skills, and provide meaningful contributions to Wikipedia about underrepresented topics / individuals / organizations, etc, with a focus on race (though participants can edit or create articles on any topics of interest).
This event is in conjunction with the Black Life Matters Edit-a-thon at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a research unit of the New York Public Library (NYPL).

1. the importance of appearing authentic and knowledgeable discourages bloggers from consulting information professionals for research assistance;
2. the majority of fashion bloggers tend to access and use information in a manner characteristic of millennials. This along with blogging’s inherently fast-paced nature stymies in-depth research;
3. fashion blogging hinges on information sharing among bloggers and other online sources but a fair and consistent standard of citation has not been established
Going forward, additional research is warranted on a number of related topics: fashion bloggers as compared to “traditional” journalists, fashion bloggers as millennials, and fashion blogs-to-books publishing.
Attend this session to learn how to set up and work with Zotero so that you can share its benefits with colleagues/students and incorporate it into your instruction sessions. The first part of this hands-on workshop will cover basic and advanced features of Zotero. The second half of the workshop will be dedicated to strategies and examples of how to use Zotero to teach information literacy skills and as an organizational tool for individual and collaborative research projects.
Prerequisite knowledge/experience:
No prior experience necessary. This workshop is open to librarians from public, academic, and special libraries who are interested in learning about Zotero and how to effectively use Zotero for bibliographic instruction and collaborative and personal research.
By the end of this program, participants will know how to:
- get your research resources into Zotero
- organize your Zotero library according to your specific needs
- cite your resources within Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and/or Open Office
- generate bibliographies
- customize your Zotero preferences
- take snapshots of web pages and add notes
- sync your resources between multiple computers and to the cloud (Zotero’s servers)
- create and setup a group library in Zotero
- integrate Zotero into information literacy and other instruction
- advocate for Zotero at your institution
