Solutions: Reintegrate library into orientations, deploy transfer student library online orientation program, collaborate with CUNY community & senior colleges. So important to consider the library as one service provider in context with others at the college & beyond. #EBLIP10

After instruction session, asked students: 1) When searching for information, what will you do differently now? 2) What questions do you still have about doing research? #EBLIP10

.Clare Thorpe & Alisa Howlett aimed to build capacity for an evidence-based organisation, moving from an individual practitioner model, looking at process, engagement & evidence #EBLIP10

.Dr Frankie Wilson suggests that decision-making should be evidence "informed" - because sometimes strategic goals mean you have to go against the evidence #EBLIP10

Librarians want to do things perfectly otherwise they won’t start. Paralysed by lack of data, tools, skills, time and money Dr Frankie Wilson #EBLIP10

Haha, one of my fave bits of the traineeship was learning from Dr Frankie Wilson and getting help with my project & survey! 🙈 #EBLIP10

Skills gap: we lack the confidence & ability to use different research methods & different paradigms. iSchools should build this into curriculum, managers should encourage staff to research, journal editors should welcome diff paradigms & we should all be reading more #EBLIP10

Love the idea of reading dogs in Renfrewshire schools.definitely need to think about this for PGR students #EBLIP10

Really interesting talk on the 'Entrepreneurship Librarian' role by @BizQueery - will be rifling thorugh the SPEC kit mentioned for ideas & inspo to take to our Business Centre! publications.arl.org/Campus-wide-En… #EBLIP10

International students discuss information overload - found that follow up integration was more effective & useful than orientation because it came at a time when it was more relevant & they were more settled #EBLIP10

Laura Rocco & Elise Feltman recommend being proactive in reaching out to international students, continue R&D work in orientation & outreach, encourage students to share experiences safely #EBLIP10

"There's nothing special to do about it" - one student felt that international and native students should be treated the same. There is no one-size-fits-all, everyone will have unique & intersecting challenges #EBLIP10

Jonathan DaSo & Jessica Barmon on tutoring - library is only place to offer late-night tutoring, which runs Sun-Weds 9pm-1am (!!). Group, peer-to-peer, focused on Chem/Maths/Phys courses with high drop/fail rates #EBLIP10

In analyzing library impact, Jonathan DaSo questions if institutional measures of student success align with students' own definitions. What did we find from interviewing students on what success means to them? #EBLIP10 sr.ithaka.org/blog/the-degre…
