Free Range Librarian
Tuesday, June 3, 2008 - 1:00 to 1:50 Breakout Session
Steve Frye, Madison and Jana Reeg-Steidinger, Stout
FREE RANGE LIBRARIANS Exciting stuff is happening: Facebook, wikis, learning commons, Info lit classes use Utube, gaming. i.e. Fantasy football—students look at nfl.com sites and discuss why one better than another; librarian and library resources at end of session. Discussion Categories: 1. Join forces with other academic support services to create new services. 2. Interaction with pre-existing units and networks 3. Re-defining what it means to be a librarian. Examples from Various Campuses Carroll College library, from WAAL presentation, contact: Linda Hartig, lhartig@cc.edu incorporated study skills center and computer center and are soon to also incorporate placement center. Library staff is cross trained to work in all areas. Steve Frey sfrye@library.wisc.edu College Library UW-Madison envisions one portal chat source for all questions (research, computer, registration, activities); from that singular source, student is appropriately directed. Offer to train computer lab staff to library. Different skills set needed for computer vs. library. Cross training very important. Leah Ujda lujda@library.wisc.edu UW Digital Collections Center. Sources in digital collections are linked to Wikipedia. In instruction for Chemistry class, students are assigned to edit a Wikipedia article. Cris Prucha prucha.cris@uwlax.edu UW- LaCrosse reported for Stephan Smith, Outreach Librarian. Residence life program established. Every residence hall is paired with a librarian; all halls participate. A poster features the librarian + librarian’s web page http://www.uwlax.edu/murphylibrary/Reslife/wentz.html + brochures. Librarians send promotional emails. Randy Hoelzen hoelzen.rand@uwlax.edu mentioned “fun facts” email topics such as DVD collection. READ poster of Chancellor authographed and dedicated for each hall. Utube developed on finding library resources. Murder mystery activity in library. The most frequent outcome is librarian receives email questions from “their” rez hall students. Nancy McClements nmcclements@library.wisc.edu Memorial Reference UW-Madison. Distributed mood pencils at unions; one group’s response “sweet!” Ask Bucky Read posters. Jana Reeg-Steidingerreegj@uwstout.edu UW-Stout. Two reference librarians dressed in super librarian capes and masks. Appeared at beginning of the year orientations. Distributed Ask-A-Librarian Life-Savers. PlayedThat’s EZ library game at RA orientation. Rode bicycles at Frosh picnic. Stout’s D2L coordinators schedule informal visits to academic buildings and stop in at offices to visit faculty-very well received. Martha Stephenson Stephenm@uww.edu UW-Whitewater. Residence halls requested meeting with librarian. Spread outreach to high school to recruit students to UW-Whitewater. Kyle Naff Naffk@uww.edualso mentioned outreach to local business groups and Kiwanis Club focusing on "the value of libraries to businesses in general." Kyle scheduled to spend 5 hours/week in academic buildings; "literally walks the halls." Because he’s more visible to instructors, they more readily schedule library instruction. Terri Muraski. terri.muraski@uwsp.edu UW-Stevens Point. The Student Center’s Info Desk relocated to library’s Circulation Desk during remodeling; ultimately positive for the library. Student groups given space for bake sale. Collaborate with Public Library (UW-SP runs their catalog) LIFE workshops for retires; librarians do sessions on censorship and the Privacy Act. History Day: goes out to participating high schools for BI sessions and then host students’ research visits. Tom Reich treich@uwsp.edu organizes and hosts regional competition judging; works very closely with Point history faculty and a number of high schools to organize that day. Collaborate with Public Library (UW-SP runs their catalog) LIFE workshops for retires; librarians do sessions on censorship and the Privacy Act. Dave Dettman dettmand@uwgb.edu UW-Green Bay. Does +145 instruction sessions so students recognize. Daily lunches in different locations with laptop and students approach with library questions. While shooting 8ball in Student Union is asked alcohol content of rum. Feels uncomfortable at ref desk and does not receive questions. Moves around area +roves in-house; then receives lots of questions. Allan Barkley abarclay@library.wisc.edu Ebling Library UW-Madison. Goes out to medical classrooms (students’ environment) for library instruction. Students more readily come to the library later with their research. They wait til trust is established with librarian and then ask for help; technology consultations done. Dina Kaye kaye@uwp.edu UW-Parkside. Student body is 80% commuters. Asked: (1) how to get them to stay on campus; (2) how to deal with commuters’ unique needs. Response: Terri Muraski terri.muraski@uwsp.edu From Educause Conference: Oakland University in greater Detroit one example of a space that's working on a commuter campus. Multimedia lab, operated by the library offering high end equipment and collaborative space needed by commuting students to complete projects. Response: Jill Markgraf markgrjs@uwec.eduUW-Eau Claire. Library provides family-friendly study room with refrig and toys; greatly appreciated! Sarah Neises neises@uwosh.edu UW-Oshkosh. Goes to high school for orientation session; preferable to requiring high school students to come to UW library. Also collaborate with public library. Wikipedia is research tool of students: utilize; don’t ignore; they aren’t.
