In analyzing library impact, Jonathan DaSo questions if institutional measures of student success align with students' own definitions. What did we find from interviewing students on what success means to them? #EBLIP10 https://t.co/zOn6dwFQu5
Jonathan DaSo & Jessica Barmon on tutoring - library is only place to offer late-night tutoring, which runs Sun-Weds 9pm-1am (!!). Group, peer-to-peer, focused on Chem/Maths/Phys courses with high drop/fail rates #EBLIP10
"There's nothing special to do about it" - one student felt that international and native students should be treated the same. There is no one-size-fits-all, everyone will have unique & intersecting challenges #EBLIP10
Laura Rocco & Elise Feltman recommend being proactive in reaching out to international students, continue R&D work in orientation & outreach, encourage students to share experiences safely #EBLIP10
International students discuss information overload - found that follow up integration was more effective & useful than orientation because it came at a time when it was more relevant & they were more settled #EBLIP10
@superjax @estregger This looks really interesting! Would you be able to share a link to the full poster? Ironically no walk-up access as virtually attending!
Really interesting talk on the 'Entrepreneurship Librarian' role by @BizQueery - will be rifling thorugh the SPEC kit mentioned for ideas & inspo to take to our Business Centre! https://t.co/HF82leuycW #EBLIP10
@D_McMenemy @preater That is surprising. Ime it's really hard to learn RM generically, so of course you end up with a better grounding in what you use for a dissertation project & feeling less skilled/confident in using other RM? Not just a course issue, workplaces must commit to staff dev & support.
@preater If it's helpful, I felt that Frankie's focus was on confidence to engage, & the ability to move between research methods/frameworks - rather than just doing surveys cos libraries do surveys!
@D_McMenemy @preater Idk. I've done 2 MAs & 2 research methods modules - feel that they prepare you for undertaking a specific research project within that context, not for lifelong researching. They also felt like a tick box exercise...
Skills gap: we lack the confidence & ability to use different research methods & different paradigms. iSchools should build this into curriculum, managers should encourage staff to research, journal editors should welcome diff paradigms & we should all be reading more #EBLIP10
