Where in the world......is Mt. Pleasant?

2009-05-19T11:02:00.001-05:00

From my colleague Lynn Ellsworth, a very well done e-hunt!

Paula,

I thought you might be interested in this . . . .

My husband Tom’s 4th grade class participated in a “mystery class”, trying to figure out from clues about sunrise/sunset, latitude/longitude, continent, country, and state the location of ten sites around the world. The clues are spread over several months. Last year, his class participated, and this year, Tom applied for Mt. Pleasant to be one of the sites. We were selected! The process is complete now, and if you want to check out what they put on the web site about Mt. Pleasant, follow these instructions:
1. Google “journey to the north.”
2. Click on “Journey to the north: A global study of wildlife migration: Monarch Butterfly”
3. Click on the picture of the globe identified as “Sunlight and Mystery Class”
4. Click under the globe where it says “Meet the Class of 2009”
5. Click on: Turn Globe at the top of the screen to find the U.S. on the globe and mystery site #10—Mt. Pleasant
6. Click on “Mt. Pleasant.
7. You can read the entry and play the video. The kids narrate the video about Iowa Wesleyan history.

Swine Flu Data

2009-04-29T08:47:00.003-05:00

The past week I've been enmeshed in writing the disaster policy manual for Chadwick Library. It has been a very time consuming process, but that's a post for another day. But, the importance of doing this has been underscored by the latest world event, that of the swine flu that has recently grabbed the attention of the world headlines.

While participating in the listserv for the disaster preparedness forum, there has been much discussion pertaining to the rapid response and appropriate forms of communicating about swine flu.

I came across this very interesting map that shows where outbreaks of diseases exist. Its creators are affliated with Harvard, but uses sources from various national (CDC) and world (WHO)agencies. It also adds in other data sources such as Google News, and ProMed to add to the comprehensive view of the current state of global infectious diseases.

HealthMap provides a jumping-off point for real-time information on emerging infectious diseases and has particular interest for public health officials and international travelers.

Take a look:

Goodbye Printed Word?

2009-02-09T08:28:00.003-06:00

If you've noticed lately, many popular magazines are getting thinner and thinner. And no, it isn't because this is a slow news time of year. The Washington Post recently announced that Feb. 15th would be the last print version of "Book World", its Sunday stand-alone book review section. After Feb 15th, book reviews will be found in space inside two other sections of the paper.

Book World was one of the last remaining stand-alone book review sections in the country, along with The New York Times Book Review. The Post’s move comes as the company, like most other newspaper businesses across the country, has been hobbled by a protracted downturn in advertising.

On the heels of that announcement came the announcement from U.S. News & World Report that it would go to a monthly publication with a theme to each issue. Over the past year, the library staff has watched it go from a weekly to bi-monthly to monthly publication. U.S. News cites growth in it's companion digital site as justification for downsizing the rate of publication for the print version.

In March, U.S. News will have a weekly electronic publication available at no extra charge to it's subscribers. Additionally, it is doubling the length of time left on subscriptions.

Here in the library we will establish a link to this online print version. Stay tuned for details about accessing the publication in this manner. Given the nature of our economy and the increased online use of computers by consumers, my guess is that we are likely to see similar responses by other publishers.

Changes in the Basement

2009-01-12T14:29:00.002-06:00

Over the winter break, Nadine and I worked on a major project in the basement to shift the curriculum library and reset the children's literature area in order to integrate the adolescent literature section.

The curriculum library is now located at the beginning the periodical section. It has had the shelves cleaned and disinfected and can now grow in the ample space it has been allocated. The shelving has also been adjusted to a more uniform configuration.

The collections comprising childrens literature and adolescent literature are in the process of being integrated/relabeled and a "new" collection title of YOUTH LITERATURE has been assigned. This new collection is moving into the space once shared by the childrens literature and will also have ample room to expand.

As one of the last phases of this project, labels will be placed on the shelving to assist students and faculty in finding materials.

See what can be done with statistics

2009-01-09T09:56:00.002-06:00

The other night when I was working my night shift, Paula Sanders showed me this really cool site that makes use of statistics, computing and art.

http://flowingdata.com/

Some representations of statistical data have animations. We were especially awed by the Walmart stores growth and the immigration to the United States over the past hundred years.

We marvelled at the interdisciplinary approach to data--using creativity and intelligence to represent the same statistic.

All this just in the first month of school

2008-10-10T13:20:00.004-05:00

It's been awhile since I posted anything and part of that has to do with the intense schedule the library has been experiencing, coupled with learning various new software of both the major and minor variety (more about that later) and, oh yes, a vacation.

First things first--the librarians, Paula, Paula and Sherril have conducted nearly 40 information literacy sessions in just the month of September. Whew! Program areas that we have been collaborating with include: WES 100, Nursing, Philosophy, Business Administration, Psychology, History, and Religion and Forum. We have done a variety of presentations from tours to powerpoints to specifically targeted resources and stand-alone guides. If you have any assignments on the near horizon that we could assist your students with, please let us know!

Secondly, we have been "playing" with and learning our new databases from the Proquest family in the areas of Psychology, Nursing, and Religion. I recently gave four InfoLit sessions that demonstrated these databases and how to use them to our students. I'm happy to report that they have been well received and constituted over 20% of our total database use for the month of September. Not a bad first showing for our newbies!

Finally, some of you may be hearing inklings about new library software. Some of you may have already gotten a first hand look at this software. We're very excited about our new LibGuide software. Two guides have already been written and I invite you to take a look at them. You can find them here. Can't miss them--they're marked by the big purple boxes. Several more are forthcoming as is more information in a later blog.

Enjoy your fall break!

Quotable Facts about Academic Libraries

2008-09-03T09:51:00.002-05:00

From the American Library Association...here's some interesting statistics about academic and public libraries. Statistics in purple give you an idea of where Chadwick Library fits in with the rest of the country.

Academic Libraries

Academic librarians answer 72.8 million reference questions each year--almost twice the attendance at college football games.

Chadwick Librarians responded to 4800 reference questions last year. This is a 22% increase from the previous year.

College libraries receive less than two cents of every dollar spent on higher education.

Chadwick Library 1.96% (2006-2007 figure) of IWC college educational and general fund. We spent approximately $310 per student (2006-2007 budget figure).

If the cost of People magazine had risen as fast as academic library periodicals since 1990, its subscription would cost about $150 per year.

The average cost of our academic paper subscriptions has risen approximately 10% each year.

The number of librarians per 1000 students enrolled in 2 and 4 year colleges and universities in the U.S. dropped from 2.4 in 2000 to less than .5 in 2004.

The number of Chadwick staff having direct interaction with students is .5 per 100 students. The number of librarians per student is .35 per 100 students.

Public Libraries

63% of adults in the U.S. have public library cards.

A total of 711 people (students and faculty/staff) are registered Chadwick Library patrons. Over 80% of our campus constituency is a registered patron at Chadwick Library.

Americans go to school, public, and academic libraries more often than they go to the movies.

Attendance at Chadwick Library has set two consecutive all time attendance records. During the 2007-2008 academic year, 81,171 people visited the library. Seven months saw record breaking attendance and October 2007 saw 10,898 people visit the library which is the all-time record attendance for one month.

There are more public libraries than McDonald's in the U.S.--a total of 16,549, including branches

Americans check out an average of more than seven books a year.

At Chadwick Library, 98.7% of our registered patrons check out materials during the 2007-2008 academic year.

Americans spend nearly ten times as much money on home video games (9.9 billion) as they do on school library materials for their children (1 billion).

Excluding salaries and wages, Chadwick Library spends over 85% of the library budget on materials that directly focus on student academic needs.

Library Annual Report

2008-08-27T14:45:00.003-05:00

One of my major summer projects is to write the annual report for the library. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting sections of the library annual report. Here's the first section which is the Executive Summary.

Frame of Reference for our incoming First-Year Students

2008-08-20T10:15:00.001-05:00

Along with the scholastic profile of our incoming first-year students, here’s a cultural profile: the Beloit College Mindset List for the Class of 2012:

http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/

Beloit’s list, published for the past 11 years by two professors, attempts to provide "observations that help to identify the experiences that have shaped the lives–and formed the mindset—of students starting their post-secondary education this fall."

2008-06-10T08:26:00.006-05:00

As I was working on collection development the other day, I came across this entry for a very unique and unusual book titled, "Indexed". Being a librarian and concerned with access, I must say that this piqued my interest. How could there be a book on indexing in the past tense? What kind of information would it hold? And, why would anyone buy it? Well, it turns out that
this isn't a book on indexing from a librarian's perspective, but one from a unique, creative and sometimes even thought provoking perspective.

The author, Jessica Hagy, thinks in a very visual manner. On her blog, indexed.blogspot.com (which BTW was named a 2007 Webby Awards nominee) she posts charts, graphs, and Venn diagrams drawn on index cards that provide observations on unusual connections in our culture.

Curious? Here's an example:

Those simple steps are never so simple:

Here's another....

Out with the old, in with the new

So, how does this tie in with student learning and information literacy?

During the first year English 101 program one of our information literacy sessions has a segment on the grammar and syntax of searching. This is more commonly known as Boolean logic which uses Venn diagrams and the connectors of and, or and not to represent search statements. This encourages the students to represent their searching in a graphic manner. So, when I explored this book and blogspot, my intention was to provide some interesting (and yes, entertaining) examples of Boolean logic that would help eliminate that glassy eyed look we get from students when we present this material.

I think it's especially interesting that this has applications to all sorts of discipline areas--philosophy, marketing, sociology, and math to name a few. Yes, I know, it's not a scholarly resource, but hey, it's summer!

What is Information Literacy Anyway?

2008-04-18T14:59:00.003-05:00

It has been said that information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of education. It enables learners to master content and extend their investigations. As defined by the American Libraries Association (ALA), information literacy is defines as the ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand. The ALA has identified five standards for determining an "information literate" person. Each standard builds on and expands the previous one. The text below is from the ALAStandards: Step-by-Step document. It does a wonderful job of clearly articulating the intent of each standard.

Standard One seeks to focus on an information need, explore various options for meeting this need and requires a basic understanding of how information is generated, organized and disseminated. The student must be able to identify these questions:
What is it you want to know?
What kind of information do you need?
How much information do you need?

Standard Two builds on Standard One. It focuses on student's ability to access information in an effective and efficient manner, once they have clarified their need for information. It's probably the easiest to understand since it's all about getting at the information. The student must be able to answer these questions:
What is the best way to gather this information?
Am I using the best terms for this search?
Which search system or other resource will get me this information?

Standard Three is perhaps the most important as it stresses the need for all of us to evaluate information critically as we select and use it. This is especially important because of the amount and nature and formats of the information available. Students must develop abilities that critically analyze information. The student must be able to answer these questions:
Is this s credible source of information?
Is there another interpretation or point of view?
How does this new information change what I know?

Standard Four focuses on the various uses of information as we communicate with others. The student must be able to answer these questions:
What is the best method for presenting this information?
Will this image convey the message I want?
Are these quotes supportive of my ideas?

Finally, Standard Five outlines important aspects of legal and ethical issues surrounding the use of information. Besides focusing on the plagiarism issue, freedom of speech, privacy, intellectual property, fair use and other aspects fall into this category. The student must be able to answer these questions:
Can I make a copy of this material?
What are the issues surrounding censorship?
Are there college policies about information gathering, use or reproduction and dissemination?

So, that's information literacy in a nutshell. As librarians, we integrate these standards into our class instruction. But, I think that you will agree that they are relevant far beyond the walls of academia.

New Library Exhibit! Chapel Renovation Project

2008-02-21T13:53:00.005-06:00

Chadwick Library announces a new exhibit focused on the current chapel renovation project. Entitled, "Renovation is Revealing History", the exhibit will provide insight into the history of the building which is the heart of Iowa Wesleyan College’s liberal arts education. The exhibit, made possible with the invaluable assistance of Mike Morrissey, Physical Plant Director; his staff and the project contractor, will evolve and fluctuate as artifacts are retrieved from the building.

Built in 1893, at a cost of $45,000, and known originally as "University Chapel", the College Chapel and auditorium has served as a center for cultural events for many years. When it was originally erected, it was intended to provide space for the flourishment of the arts and sciences. Over the years, many different domains of the campus community were located in this space. These included the Art Department, Library, Business Office, President's Office, men's gymnasium, mail and printing offices, and most recently a student recreational facility and storage for the Mt. Pleasant Community Theatre.

Items currently on display include original bricks, flooring, other architectural elements, and scientific items unearthed during the demolition process. Photographs displayed will show how the building evolved from it's original construction through two remodeling efforts. Glimpses of current construction progress will also be included.

Our gratitude is expressed to Mike Morrissey, Physical Plant Director; his staff; and the contractors working on this project for their diligence and vision in preserving the past while building for the future.

Library adds CREDO Reference Database
Rapid electronic convenience with accuracy and focus

Chadwick Library has recently added a new database to it's growing collection. CREDO Reference is a full-text cross disciplinary database loaded with nearly 300 respected reference books that cover nearly every major subject. Credo Reference offers a seamless interface and acts as a portal to a multitude of highly regarded reference resources that include images, video and audio clips, flash animations, maps and charts and illustrations. Credo is also available remotely to IWC students, faculty and staff.

One very unique feature is the concept map option. This visually represents a topic and it's related sub-topics as they relate to a variety of disciplines. This kind of map can assist students in narrowing or expanding their ideas for papers.

Take a look at Credo and try it out for yourself! You can access it here: http://www.credoreference.com/search.jsp
If you need assistance, please contact a reference librarian at X6318.

Winter Photographs

2008-01-23T09:20:00.001-06:00

Images of Winter

Yes, It' still winter and I thought you might enjoy some photos from one of the many storms we've had already this winter.

This is taken from the front door, looking east. The trees were so pretty all covered in ice. I was trying to capture how the tree encased with ice glittered in the sun. Unfortunately, my pictures just don't do mother nature justice!

Here is a side view of the library.
Even in the austere greyness of winter,
the building still emerges from the hill as a pillar of learning!

Finally, the "mushroom tree" picture. This is the large fir tree directly across the street from the library. As you can tell, it was heavily laden with ice. It reminds me of the morel variety of mushrooms.

Blogging Acquisitions Lists

2008-01-22T09:59:00.001-06:00

In addition to sending out the Acquisitions Lists to a faculty and staff, I have decided to post them to this blog. This will provide another avenue for you, as a faculty member, to review or refresh your memory regarding recent library acquisitions. This is for the regular monthly acquisition list. You will still continue to receive via your iwc email individual notifications regarding status of materials that you request.
