Presentation Transcript

  1. Research performance in undergraduates receiving face to face versus online library instruction: A Citation Analysis Sarah Clark and Susan Chinburg Rogers State University Claremore, OK Fourteenth Off-Campus Library Services Conference, April 29, 2010

  2. Academic Libraries & the rise of Online Education

  3. Evolution of the Embedded Librarian: In the Literature • Laying the groundwork • Coining a phrase • Case Studies of embedding • Best Practices

  4. Evolution of the Embedded Librarian: Rogers State University

  5. Beyond the Launch: Quantitative Embedded Librarian Assessment

  6. Citation Analysis in face-to-face instruction assessment • Hovde • Davis • Robinson and Shlegl

  7. Methodology • Population • Teaching methods • Face-to-face • Online • Assignment requirements • Data analysis • Citations vs. Sources cited • Citation Categories Citation Categories • A: Textbooks, scholarly/technical books, and dictionaries • B: Peer-reviewed journals, dissertations, and conference proceedings • C: Publications/websites from educational orgs. • D: Trade, technical, and industry publications/websites • E: Corporate websites, ads, and whitepapers • F: Non-scholarly, non industry specific publications (including general business publications, encyclopedias and websites not belonging to any other defined group) • G: Primary sources and Personal communications, blogs, and social networking sites • H: Government publications

  8. Results: Per Citation

  9. Results: Per source

  10. Conclusions • No statistically significant differences in citation patterns • Citation behavior suggests embedded librarian program meets ACRL Standards • Methodology can be useful for assessing Face-to-Face vs. online instruction, and is easily implemented by faculty and librarians

  11. Limitations and Special Considerations • Small Sample Size, only two semesters • Unique citation patterns in MIS course (Current trade journals > peer-reviewed sources in business & technology) • Narrow Research Question • Does NOT explore instruction quality, simply whether students cite similar sources after receiving online vs. face-to-face library instruction

  12. Further Study • Expand Scope • Timespan • Additional courses • Additional Institutions • Expand Variables • Currency of sources cited • Average Bibliography size
