From Creation to Preservation: Transforming the Culminating Student Project T...Marie Sciangula
油
This project briefing, presented at the METRO's 2nd Annual Conference (#metrocon14) on January 15, 2014 at Baruch College, shows how key members of the Purchase College Library and the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center came together to transform the year-long Student Projects process. At Purchase College, Student Projects is the blanket term used to refer to the culminating student experience and includes senior projects, capstone papers, and masters theses. We will show how librarians, catalogers, developers, and TLTC staff partnered to create a workspace that has taken Student Projects from a traditional paper-based process and transformed it into a dynamic, digital, student-centered venture that is interwoven with reference, instruction, assessment, access, and other practical innovations such as the ability for faculty readers/sponsors to approve projects within the workspace. We will explain how we adapted technologies already in place at Purchase (Moodle, LibGuides, and Drupal) to enhance and streamline the process of researching, developing, submitting, and archiving Student Projects. The flexibility of these systems allows us to respond to student and faculty feedback quickly and make adjustments as needed. We will present our successes, challenges, and share our current plans for developing an open, fully searchable, and aesthetically mindful digital repository. We will also discuss future plans for a large-scale digitization effort to make accessible nearly 40 years of Student Projects, allowing for better and broader access to this collection of important student scholarship and creativity. We hope that our collaboration and the development of the Student Projects digital repository will make a meaningful contribution to Purchase Colleges institutional memory and serve as an inspiration to other institutions interested in preserving student scholarship.

C. G. OKelly Librarys OK Scholars Institute
Mae Rodney, Winston Salem State University
C. G. OKelly Library has a rich collection of print and electronic resources but traditional library output measures questions asked, use of databases declined despite an increase in instruction sessions offered.
The Internet gave patrons immediate fulfillment of their search requests; cutting and pasting information was effortless; so the Internet became students primary research tool. Informal assessments of students written papers confirmed the habit of cutting and pasting and not citing sources. Faculty members complained more about the quality of students final papers. To counter students reliance on the Internet, many faculty members assignments directed students not to use any Internet resources. This did not correct the problem! Faculty members remained unhappy with the quality of students papers.
Librarians wanted to teach students information literacy skills to help them locate, evaluate and use information. To achieve that goal, faculty members required more information about library services and collections along with techniques to develop quality library assignments.
A request was made for Title III funds to sponsor annual workshops for five years to help faculty members develop techniques to create assignments that require students to locate, use and evaluate library resources to complete their written assignments.
The OK Fellows experience is positively impacting library services the contact between students and librarians has increased by over 100 percent and the number of electronic searches completed rose by 300 percent during 2007-08. Instruction sessions offered in Fall 2008 already equal the total number for the entire 2006-07 academic year. Faculty members are recommending the institute to other faculty members.
Mae Rodney is the Director of Library Services in the C. G. OKelly Library at Winston Salem State University

3. What is it?
The Lesson Locator is a database of all of ATM
lessons taught Moshe Feldenkrais that were
captured in some way, including audiotapes,
videos, transcriptions, and notes.
The LL will serve as card catalog for the
library of lessons Dr. Feldenkrais left us.
The LL is a means for quickly and easily sorting
through these lessons.
4. What were aiming for:
Making the library less opaque and more user-
friendly so that the teacher community will
appreciate and utilize the lessons more easily.
