Authors can contribute new content, use existing content or edit content, thereby contributing to a database of quality collaboratively developed material to enhance student learning.Présentation d'un outil multidisciplinaires et communautaire qui permet aux professeurs, aux assistants à l'enseignement ou aux bibliothécaires de créer du contenu illustrant des pratiques de recherche et de rédaction propres aux disciplines. Les auteurs peuvent fournir du nouveau contenu ou encore utiliser ou éditer le contenu existant, contribuant ainsi à une base de données de matériel de qualité développé en collaboration dans le but de rehausser l'apprentissage des étudiants.

The Fall 2000 incoming class was just over 1,000 students. USD recently revised the general education requirements, which resulted in the inclusion of a basic course in Speech Communication. Additionally, a 1999 mandate from the Board of Regents required the six Regental institutions to develop a program for information technology literacy. The University of South Dakota decided to go beyond that mandate to develop a full information literacy program. The first phase of this program was to design and implement an information literacy component at the freshman level and to develop a tool for assessing information literacy competency at the end of a student's first year. The competency tool will be piloted in the Spring 2001 semester. Currently, the instruction librarians work with first-year students three times: 1) through participat...

This exercise highlighted the need to add another column for a middle stage between muddling through and the transformed library. The following lists show responses that are characteristic of each stage.

Why? Because, as writing center directors, WAC professionals, and librarians are well aware, the academic environment is rapidly changing on all fronts. Administrators are more concerned than ever with writing proficiency, information literacy and student retention. And students, though more tech savvy, often seem to be unprepared to judge the credibility and usefulness of sources of information and unskilled at incorporating such material into their writing. in response to these developments, librarians and writing center professionals have recently begun to examine one another’s discourse and have discovered some remarkable and productive affinities in their evolving theory and practice. For example, as Colleen Boff and Ba...

This addition, covering the years 1986-1990, maintains the goals of the first two installments: 1) to update John Miles Foley's original bibliography, Oral-Formulaic Theory and Research (Garland 1985), which provided an annotated listing of scholarship on the Parry-Lord theory of oral composition up until 1982, and 2) to expand the scope of the bibliography into other fields related to the study of oral traditions. The initial year of this installment also marks the beginning of Oral Tradition itself, and all articles published in the journal from 1986-1990 are herein annotated.

Information literacy experiences are usually intended to be, in some ways, transformational for students in their academic lives. This study is specifically intended to assess the extent of the transformation. The particular methodology will be described below, but it is designed to evaluate students' operational perceptions of "libraries" and "information" at the beginning and at the end of three courses designed to teach students to think critically about information. The findings will reflect the changes. It should be mentioned that this study does not explicitly address the Standards 1 developed by the Association for College and Research Libraries.

Any of these groups create new content, use existing content or edit content, thereby contributing to a database of quality collaboratively developed quality material to enhance student learning.

Budd, then editor of ACRL's Publications in Librarianship series, who had asked Marie if she would be interested in working on a volume that would update Academic Libraries: Research Perspectives edited by Mary Jo Lynch and Arthur P. Young, published by ACRL in 1990. The Lynch and Young book provided a summary of research in academic libraries that was useful both for practitioners seeking access to the scholarly literature and for researchers. The chapters of that volume ...
