As business schools embrace experiential learning, many service units have grown their offerings to better serve students in these programs. An important role needed to support experiential learning programs is to ensure that students have access to information resources needed to address the problem they are asked to solve. This is in stark contrast to the minimal role that libraries and librarians play to support students working through business cases where students typically have all the information needed to work through the problem. On the other hand, students working on experiential learning projects have few pre-packaged sets of business information, leaving them potentially grasping for straws. With experiential learning projects, students often start off with little background information and might be left to their own to find resources that help solve complicated and narrow problems for their sponsor. Instead of feeling adrift, student teams can connect with librarians to assist them in finding and utilizing information resources that reflect the needs and scope of the project. A number of business schools have created structures and dedicated librarians to support students on these projects. Most importantly, it enables students to focus on the larger issues of the project and gain an appreciation for the value of information resources in business. These embedded librarian programs have a tremendous opportunity to provide both information instruction and support for the students as they work in the field. The value is demonstrated by having the librarians work with students in the 'room where it happens.' In this presentation, the library directors for UCLA Anderson and Michigan Ross will share information on how their staff support experiential learning at their respective schools. Among the topics to be discussed will include: working with and supporting student teams, balancing work between librarians, communication with student groups, connections to the library post-project, and other topics. Attendees will hear proven ways research support from these two schools’ libraries elevates the quality of deliverables to each team’s client. Presentation at 2016 LEPE (Leaders of Experiential Project-Based Education) Conference “Real-World Possibilities to Motivate Learning” UCLA Anderson Tuesday, June 21 – Thursday, June 23, 2016 2016-06-22T00:00:00Z Don’t Get Married to the Results: Managing Library Change in the Age of Metrics http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/117583 Don’t Get Married to the Results: Managing Library Change in the Age of Metrics Seeman, Corey One of the greatest challenges facing directors at libraries of all levels is measuring success of new or existing programs or services. This is especially challenging to new directors who are conflicted between the culture of assessment and the need to demonstrate the value of the changes or programs at one’s library. The more entrepreneurial a director is, the more difficult it might be to measure the results. As a library director for nearly nine years, I have built a personal leadership toolkit based on a variety of resources. We have gone through a tremendous change in the nine years that I have been director at Kresge, including losing both collections and student space during the past year. Moving the library from a traditional entity into an ethereal one (as I like to call it) requires an approach that is entrepreneurial and unconventional. To that end, the direction that we have pursued in this (and other) changes implemented at our library has been crafted with an open mind to metrics and assessment. Rather than start a process with preconceived measure of success, instead it is something that we review and assess as we go. Us the phrase “don’t get married to the results,” I will share how I have used this to frame success in the library, especially in light of great change and upheaval. Presentation at the ABLD-EBSLG-APBSLG Joint Meeting 2016 at Singapore Management University in Singapore (May 2016) 2016-04-20T00:00:00Z Building a Digital Image Collection With flickr: A low (or no) cost approach to sharing your digital assets http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/117547 Building a Digital Image Collection With flickr: A low (or no) cost approach to sharing your digital assets Seeman, Corey Libraries have many options of services to store and share digital assets, including many from library automation vendors. Instead of looking at library vendors, one option is to use a photo sharing resource such as flickr (from yahoo.com). From a very active flickr user, this presentation will showcase how you can use this free resource to promote, organize and share your digital assets. Of particular note is using flickr groups and tagging to make items from your collection accessible and findable by community residents as well as people all over the world. The presentation will also explore how different libraries are using flickr for collections and program-related images. Presentation to be given at the 2016 Loleta Fyan Small and Rural Libraries Conference that runs from May 4 through Friday, May 6, 2016 at Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. 2016-04-01T00:00:00Z Don’t Get Married to the Results: Managing Library Change in the Age of Metrics http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/115874 Don’t Get Married to the Results: Managing Library Change in the Age of Metrics Seeman, Corey One of the greatest challenges facing directors at libraries of all levels is measuring success of new or existing programs or services.
