  3. Biology 14 Library Research: In the Beginning…

  4. Biology 14 Library Research: An Evolving Collaboration What are the outcomes? • Students learn information literacy skills through a self-paced, self-scheduled environment. • Students work is graded, making it worth their effort and establishing this library research assignment’s importance.

  5. Biology 14 Library Research: An Evolving Collaboration What are the outcomes? • Information literacy skills are integrated into a traditional lab-based biology course. • Biology teaching assistants and instructors are taught the importance of information literacy pedagogy.

  6. Biology 14 Library Research: An Evolving Collaboration What are the outcomes? • Tisch Library’s resources are better used. • Further outreach and collaboration with the Biology Department.

  7. Biology 14 Library Research: An Evolving Collaboration Outreach and Collaboration • Biology 14 was the foundation for “The Biologist's Guide to Library Resources”

  8. Biology 14 Library Research: An Evolving Collaboration Outreach and Collaboration • Have worked with 15/21 Biology faculty to teach information literacy skills and research resources to their classes. • Steady increase in number of Biology course library sessions.

  9. Biology 14 Library Research: An Evolving Collaboration Outreach and Collaboration • Assist Biology graduate students. • Library web site is linked from the Biology department web site, as well as from a few of the professors laboratory sites.

  10. Biology 14 Library Research: An Evolving Collaboration Future Goals and Challenges • Interactivity: web-based quizzes/assignment; BLOG technology; Robo demos? • Assignments are open-ended and designed to uncover student’s interests…how to change, yet maintain this important aspect. • Continue to assess/evaluate, but bring the student survey to the web; maybe make it mandatory?

  11. Biology 14 Library Research: An Evolving Collaboration Future Goals and Challenges • Integrate with Blackboard? • Roving reference…good possibility. • Investigate integration with Triple III’s Millennium, Metafind and Web Bridge.
