A recent report about higher education completion indicated that about 2/3 of college students would be more interested in returning if the coursework could be applied directly to their work. Alternatives to research writing assignments FTW! 1/3

So thankful to my coeditor Silke Higgins and all the contributors for the publication of our latest book, “Embracing Change: Alternatives to Traditional Research Writing Assignments.” We hope it will help libraries in generating and supporting students with different assignments.

"Supporting Today’s Students in the Library is a valuable read... It would be an excellent addition to MLIS coursework that focuses on these areas as well." Thank you to Ginger H. Williams from Wichita State for reviewing our co-edited book for C&RL: crl.acrl.org/index.php/crl/a…
I am looking for a #conference happening between now and end of March. Topics can be about: #teaching and #learning in general, #library-specific (all aspects), or related to #researchimpact metrics. Please let me know if you have a suggestion.
Excited that our study on academic librarian motivations, strategies, and success rates for finding research collaborators has been published in College & Research Libraries (vol. 81, no. 7): doi.org/10.5860/crl.81.7.109… @ekchan35 #research #Collaboration #academic #librarians #CRL

Loving that Emily recognized during their preso that we all may have other stressors right now and while she has an activity, attendees do not necessarily have to participate.

Remember: Librarians have a definition of info lit, but instructors may define it differently or only see parts of it (finding and evaluating sources) as info lit.
