Cooke, Rachel, Donlan, Rebecca
Abstract/Description
In a comparison of Google Scholar, Windows Live Search Academic, and Serials Solutions' Central Search, relevant retrieval increases in direct relation to the complexity of the search interface. Central Search, as customized for Florida Gulf Coast University Library, permits far more complex searching than Google Scholar or Windows Academic and performs better than its simpler competitors.

Show moreIn a comparison of Google Scholar, Windows Live Search Academic, and Serials Solutions' Central Search, relevant retrieval increases in direct relation to the complexity of the search interface. Central Search, as customized for Florida Gulf Coast University Library, permits far more complex searching than Google Scholar or Windows Academic and performs better than its simpler competitors. However, a close review of sample searches in these three databases reveals that the simpler, more streamlined interfaces may be equally useful, depending on the user's preference, and the information need.

Students Use More Books after Library Instruction: An Analysis of Undergraduate Paper Citations.
Creator
Cooke, Rachel, Rosenthal, Danielle
Abstract/Description
In fall 2008, students from first-year Composition I and upper-level classes at Florida Gulf Coast University participated in a citation analysis study. The citation pages of their research papers revealed that the students used more books, more types of sources, and more overall sources when a librarian provided instruction. When these results were compared to those produced by students in upper-level classes (all of whom received instruction), it was discovered that, as the class level...
Show moreIn fall 2008, students from first-year Composition I and upper-level classes at Florida Gulf Coast University participated in a citation analysis study. The citation pages of their research papers revealed that the students used more books, more types of sources, and more overall sources when a librarian provided instruction. When these results were compared to those produced by students in upper-level classes (all of whom received instruction), it was discovered that, as the class level increased, the number of citations and the percentage of scholarly citations generally increased and there was a high preference for books from all disciplines, especially history.

Show moreEffective communication is one of the most important resources for successful outreach efforts. This article addresses the benefits that can emerge from successful communication as well as the negative effects that may stem from ineffective communication. A case study of Florida Gulf Coast University Archives, Special Collections, & Digital Initiatives' outreach efforts among local cultural heritage organizations will demonstrate methods used to approach these organizations and subsequent results. After attempting to provide several organizations with professional assistance regarding digitization and digital preservation of historic records, Archives, Special Collections, & Digital Initiatives sought to establish a formalized outreach approach. While there is a large amount of literature discussing broad outreach efforts, few articles delve into specific communication methods, potential benefits, and possible drawbacks. This article will show that with specific methods of communication, outreach can prove advantageous for both the community organization in need and the library institution providing the service. © 2016, Published with license by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

K-State Grant Opportunities Encourage Librarian/ Faculty Collaborations.

Academic librarians are expected to reach out to faculty to promote library services to the university community and to represent our departments in library meetings. But beyond these functions, faculty may not consider librarians as potential collaborators, especially on projects unrelated to the library.

Show moreAcademic librarians are expected to reach out to faculty to promote library services to the university community and to represent our departments in library meetings. But beyond these functions, faculty may not consider librarians as potential collaborators, especially on projects unrelated to the library. One prime opportunity for librarian/faculty collaboration at Kansas State University is the Tilford Incentive Grants. The grant’s stated purpose is to “encourage the infusion and assessment of the Tilford multicultural competencies with the educational experiences of our students”. This paper discusses the proposal and outcomes of one such collaboration between a journalism faculty member and the department’s subject librarian.

An Investigation of Graduate Student Knowledge and Usage of Open-Access Journals.
Creator
Beard, Regina M.
Abstract/Description
Graduate students lament the need to achieve the proficiency necessary to competently search multiple databases for their research assignments, regularly eschewing these sources in favor of Google Scholar or some other search engine. The author conducted an anonymous survey investigating graduate student knowledge or awareness of the open-access journal articles that resulted from those types of searches. The intent, in part, was to facilitate the creation or expansion of library services...
Show moreGraduate students lament the need to achieve the proficiency necessary to competently search multiple databases for their research assignments, regularly eschewing these sources in favor of Google Scholar or some other search engine. The author conducted an anonymous survey investigating graduate student knowledge or awareness of the open-access journal articles that resulted from those types of searches. The intent, in part, was to facilitate the creation or expansion of library services targeting graduate students. Additionally, the survey sought to elicit student interest in open-access publishing. This article discusses the survey outcomes and potential next steps.

Interlibrary Loan Requests Canceled Due to Availability: Problem or Opportunity?.
Creator
Reycraft, Kimberly
Abstract/Description
The phenomenon of library users attempting to use interlibrary loan to obtain items that are already available at their home libraries appears to be an ongoing problem among academic libraries. This study examines the problem in the context of a midsized academic library and compares the results to those of two previous, similar studies. Possible reasons for the phenomenon are discussed along with ideas for addressing the problem. The idea that this may represent an opportunity to satisfy an...

This study examines the problem in the context of a midsized academic library and compares the results to those of two previous, similar studies. Possible reasons for the phenomenon are discussed along with ideas for addressing the problem. The idea that this may represent an opportunity to satisfy an unmet demand for document delivery of locally held items is explored.

Hematology Resources.
Creator
Petersen, David
Abstract/Description
This column will discuss freely available interactive hematology resources. An important component in medical, nursing, and allied health fields, finding hematology resources that are interactive and engaging can be difficult. Indeed, hematology overlaps several specialties. In this column, we will review several websites offering a variety of resources that go beyond mere textbook learning. These websites are useful for learning basic hematology skills or refreshing knowledge already learned.

Abstract/Description
This column will focus on freely available online interactive resources for pediatrics. Four websites are examined that offer interactive experiences for studying various facets of the pediatric specialty. The websites vary in approach and emphasis, but many concentrate on case-based studies for learning the pediatric specialty. While useful for refreshing basic knowledge, these resources also teach, challenge, and inform advanced learners, thus making them suitable for medical students,...
