ItemResearch data practices of aerospace engineering faculty: A qualitative study(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-06) Rascoe, Fred ; Li, LishaThe storage, curation, and accessibility of digital research data is becoming more important for scientific and engineering researchers at academic institutions. While much has been written on the needs of research data management of scientists in the academic literature, less common are studies that look in finer detail at specific engineering disciplines. In this paper, the authors use qualitative data from interviews with research faculty of a specific engineering discipline, aerospace engineering (AE), to identify common perceptions, practices, and strategies with respect to their research data. This report also discusses how these faculty react to, adapt to, and accommodate those challenges, often in the words of the respective researchers themselves. This report then concludes with possible recommendations for academic libraries, and research university campuses with an AE presence.

ItemMultimodal Information Literacy in Higher Education: Critical Thinking, Technology, and Technical Skill(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-01) Givens, Marlee ; Holdsworth, Liz ; Mi, Ximin ; Rascoe, Fred ; Valk, Alison ; Viars, KarenThis chapter addresses technology in education, multimodal texts, and information literacy in a STEM research-focused university setting. Students produce multimodal content in first year composition classes, but composition instructors lack the skills required to teach students multimedia technology. Librarians respond to the needs of the faculty and students they support. Library instruction takes place within the composition class (course-integrated or “one-shot” instruction) or in a multimedia classroom at the library. The librarians bring technical skills as well as a grounding in information literacy, and their instruction increases students' written, sonic, visual and data literacy. As a result, students become more savvy content consumers as well as creators. Final version published in Handbook of Research on Integrating Digital Technology With Literacy Pedagogies, IGI Global, 2020.

ItemInvestigating the Practices and Needs of Civil and Environmental Engineering Scholars at Georgia Tech(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-10-15) Li, Lisha ; Rascoe, FredIn 2017, librarians at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) joined with librarians at 10 other research institutions in a project to examine the research practices of academics in civil and environmental engineering. The project was led and coordinated by Ithaka S+R, a non-profit organization that provides research and strategic guidance to help libraries navigate economic and technological change. The research was sponsored by the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers). The project research consisted of interviewing 11 members of the research faculty in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and subsequent analysis and reporting based on findings. The specific researcher practices examined included such informational behaviors as: scholarly collaboration, information seeking, research data management, and scholarly communication and dissemination. The purpose of examining these practices was to find areas of opportunity where library services and resources can support the civil and environmental engineering researchers.

ItemPersistence and teamwork for new horizons: Exploring a distributed teaching model in support of information literacy competencies( 2018-05) Altamirano, Isabel ; Givens, Marlee ; Holdsworth, Liz ; Mi, Ximin ; Rascoe, Fred ; Viars, KarenThe Georgia Tech Writing and Composition program, part of the School of Literature, Media, and Communication (LMC) builds first-year composition courses around literature, film, science, technology, and pop culture. The Library has long been embedded in this program, providing resources and course-integrated instruction led by the subject librarian for the LMC. This is a highly successful partnership with increasing demand far beyond the capabilities of a single person to meet. For the first time, librarians whose background or primary focus is science and engineering are providing instruction to undergraduate English students. In a STEM school primarily concerned with the history of technological literature, the approach breaks new ground by combining efforts across disciplines. This presentation elucidates the model and offer perspectives from three embedded Georgia Tech subject librarians. Additionally, they will reflect on their first year in the new program, examine broader trends in library liaison models, and anticipate future developments. In early 2016, the Georgia Tech Library reorganized many of its subject and other public-facing librarians into a single department, called Campus Engagement and Scholarly Outreach (CESO). This unit breaks down traditional liaison barriers in order to meet the rapidly shifting needs of the students, faculty, and staff of Georgia Tech. In addition to liaison librarians, CESO includes experts in assessment, digital scholarship, and data visualization among other areas of expertise. This colocation of different kinds of expertise lead to the creation of the distributed teaching model, where influences from around the academy inform and enhance instruction. Presented at LOEX 2018 Annual Conference.

ItemAn Introduction to Open Educational Resources(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-07) Cohen, Nadine ; Dimsdale, Denise ; Kowalski, Melanie ; Nash, Bethany ; Rascoe, FredFrom Librarians at Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Emory University, and the University of Georgia, this is “An Introduction to Open Educational Resources”. Textbook costs are too high, and getting higher. However, there is a growing movement in academia that could bring about free and shareable textbooks to all. Open Educational Resources, or OER’s are changing the way the educational material is created and distributed. In this program, hear academic authors and advocates explain how OER’s are created, adopted, and why they could change how students learn. Includes interviews with: Nicole Allen, SPARC; David Ernst, University of Minnesota; Quill West, Pierce College; Steve Kraftchick, Emory University; Jennifer McGee, Emory Oxford College; Deanna Cozart, University of Georgia; Brian Dotts, University of Georgia.

ItemOpen Access: Generation Open(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-12) Burtle, Laura ; Burright, Mariann ; Kowalski, Melanie ; Melton, Sarah ; Nash, Bethany ; Rascoe, FredFrom Librarians at Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Emory University, and the University of Georgia, this is “Open Access: Generation Open”. Open Access is a movement to make academic research available for public access without restriction, and usually without reuse restrictions. Academics publish research for the good of their career, for the good of their chosen discipline, and for the good of the public at large. But too often, the public is not in a position to access the research that their tax dollars helped to produce. Copyrights to research are signed over to the private companies and societies, and they sit behind paywalls online, inaccessible to many who have need for it. Open Access is a means to expand the reach of published research, to take it out from behind paywalls and into the hands of the public. It’s a concern that many academics are starting to take seriously. For the next hour, we’re going to hear from early career academics, and find out what open access means to them. Includes interviews with: Erin McKiernan, Nick Shockey, John Drake, Ted Dallas, Roxanne Moore, Julian Stirling, Tony Fast, and Carrie Freeman.
