   • words: 10842
   • flesch: 42
   • summary: Conclusion The needs of faculty researchers for support services and training in research data management has been widely written about in the library science literature in recent years as recognition of the importance for sharing of research data to scientific advancement in the digital age increased. The study also examined how graduate students learn research data management, and how faculty perceive that their students learn research data management.

   • flesch: 58
   • summary: Perry (2017) interviewed 18 science faculty members to discover their expectations of student research skills and learned that faculty were most concerned with students' ability to identify and work with primary research, although many also assigned or recommended secondary resources in the first year of study: They recommended that the students begin with secondary sources, their textbooks, and even Wikipedia to become familiar with the topic before moving on to more sophisticated research. Literature Review Expectations for science students’ IL include both the broad concepts in the ACRL Framework and the specific abilities in the Information Literacy Standards for Science and Engineering/Technology (Association of College & Research Libraries 2006).

Each has not only endeavored to create enhanced access to Net resources by automatic categorization or organization of Web resources, but has also sought to extend such categorization to automatic classification, a more sophisticated application of existing and emerging technologies.

    • summary: Perhaps the most significant contribution to playa lake research has been made by geologist C.C. Tex Reeves, Ph.D. Reeves began studying playa lakes in 1958 when he was told they were formed by buffalo and he didn't quite believe it. Reeves expects that, from a geologic standpoint, future research will focus on: the refinement of dating techniques, further documentation of various genetic types, morphologic and depositional responses of the lakes to climatic changes, morphologic changes in playa lakes with time, factors controlling specific locations, the influence of regional structure, the relationship of incipient playa basins to large playa lakes, and the relationship of playa basins to large alkaline lake basins (Reeves, C.C., 1997).

    • summary: Several issues need to be indentified: archiving the fact that each experiment has different participants and thus different expectations What publishers need to do: Realize that advertising revenue in journals changes dramatically in electronic environment; Realize that subscriptions are not only generating income by personal and institutional sales but also by increased new services from the publisher, such as the potential for: Faculty discussion groups Responding to discipline specific trends Validating and authenticating information and content Offering document delivery options direct Making better sense of economic models Three publishing clients were described, each disguised and demonstrating unique issues - (the competition is not each other, but new organizations to publishing), who are taking on the new issues in scholarly communication and responding to what readers and publishers want. Ann Okerson has coined license agreements as cocaine offers from publishers.

Average price increases for sci-tech titles published by societies have been lower than increases for commercially produced titles.

He goes on to ask the key question of the entire work when he states, Will information technology create a new division between haves and have-nots or deepen the old division?

     • summary: The paper principally concludes that since only three databases [Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PubMed] accounted for nearly all databases used most in this study, and since a majority of researchers surveyed supported paying for journal subscriptions over paying for article database access, the number of databases that are absolutely necessary if catastrophic budget conditions force librarians to cut deeply appears to be smaller than librarians once thought. In fact, as in some corporate or 'special' libraries, the subject specialty database could be used to access journal articles from larger publishers on both a pay-per-view basis or free-open-access basis and each acquired article then added to an institutional repository for future scholarly work.

This paper provides an analysis of a 10-year citation history of research using EOS instrument data in the peer-reviewed literature, which illustrates that the high volume of published EOS-related papers is indicative of the use of data from the NASA DAACs and comprises a significant contribution to the body of scientific knowledge about the Earth's climate.

The authors hypothesized that student attitudes towards library video tutorials in 2008 might have reflected the fact that the four videos did not introduce new material and were each approximately five minutes long.

     • summary: We knew that we could attain high precision with our institution's data without too great an investment in time and energy, but we did not want to weed out false drops (such as department names with similar keywords) from our local results if we were unable to also weed the comparison institutions' data. We chose the Web of Science over SciFinder Web due to the better control of searching by department name, the immediacy of citation counts and the h-index, and an assumption that all relevant peer-reviewed journals would be included.

     • summary: The second session and assignment taught the students how to search for and identify relevant articles that were also easy to read and guided them through their first time reading primary literature by emphasizing the pattern in which important information is found in primary literature articles. The comprehension of primary articles also appeared better, as cited articles were more likely to be correctly paraphrased by students with the modified curriculum (average score of 2.33 vs. 1.96), while there did not appear to be a difference between the groups' abilities to integrate the article into their report.

     • summary: It bears mention, however, that the overall focus never strays far from traditional library practice; given the pervasive use of thesauri-enhanced search engines outside of that realm, it would have been nice to hear the author’s insights as to the rapidly evolving mechanisms behind their operation and their potential import to library search interfaces. Powering Search: The Role of Thesauri in New Information Environments, a title published in the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) Monograph Series, is a bold attempt to lay a foundation for thesauri use and integration with search interfaces: pulling together research, scholarship, and development from across broadly divergent areas.

Unfortunately, Justin Hoenke's chapter on public library reference services doesn't entirely mitigate the effects of its predecessor, although its argument is clearer: in order to survive, public reference librarians must become collaborators and educators in addition to their traditional roles.

     • flesch: 48
     • summary: Clearly, there are limitations to this method of gauging student cognitive development: it cannot be as reliable as a determination made via a series of interviews or even a questionnaire such as that developed by Schommer. Since library instruction is often scheduled at the beginning of a research paper assignment, the librarian must return responses to student questions quickly if they are to be of any help.

     • summary: Figure 1 The resource that students were asked to evaluate was an article from a blog that dealt with the topic of climate change from a viewpoint of heavy skepticism (CO2 is Life 2017). The article showed evidence of political and ideological bias, no authors or credentials were given (although the blog itself claimed to be the definitive source for exposing the global warming hoax), and graphs were presented without any indication of where the data came from and with only tangential ties to the accompanying text (Figure 2 and Figure 3).

     • summary: As the chemical information librarian and liaison to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, I spend a lot of time talking with my colleagues in Research Data Management (RDM) and scholarly communications about how we can best support researchers in not only adopting ERN platforms but also in maintaining them and using them effectively. The direct relationship between computational environments and research data management led to the establishment of campus-wide consulting services with an extensive network of campus partners including the D-Lab, Division of Data Science, and the Berkeley Institute of Data Science.

     • summary: Now we have adequate -- if not indisputable -- evidence to drop underperforming core titles in favor of new subscriptions. Libraries can conceive of the license package in the relatively short term (the NIU licenses were limited to three years) as a means of identifying weak core titles and high performing non-core titles.

Librarians who are conversant with the discourses of their liaison disciplines have, in Sapp's argument (1992), an important role in the promotion of science literacy precisely because science is a process of information discovery, dissemination, application (or analysis), and retrieval. The Standards For ease, I have reprinted below, with permission, the five ACRL Information Literacy Standards, and the seven Content Standard categories from the National Science Education Standards, as well as the definitions of both information literacy and scientific literacy.

Because the faculty in the Environmental Program at the University of Vermont recognize that the challenges of working with interdisciplinary information require a thorough understanding of the way information is organized, this has translated into an opportunity to teach and reinforce information literacy skills through a sustained, progressive library instruction effort.

The research team hoped that since reference librarians have ample opportunity to assist both users and staff members in accessing e-journals, that they, as a group, could provide data describing their library experiences that would be useful in shaping future choices made by cataloging, reference, and computer-services staff regarding e-journal access.

An ideal science journal publication model is clearly one that excludes those commercial publishers that have completely failed to see science journals as a vehicle that authors use to communicate scientific research results to their peers for review and comment.

     • summary: Catherine Soehner looks first for these three qualities in new librarians: Competency, optimism (because stuff will go wrong) and integrity (because providing information implies responsibility that it be accurate). Methods and suggestions included: joining a mentor program - new librarians are paired up with someone in another unit inviting people to lunch reading the history of the institution getting involved with people and activities outside of the library participating in bus tours or retreats with other new faculty members if these are available; at land grant institutions there might be a tour to become familiar with the state attending faculty development events - e.g. teaching workshops; make connections The final piece of advice to the new librarian was: it's your job - you're responsible now, no matter who had the job before you.

Since a recent study of medical systematic reviews found significantly better literature searches when librarians co-wrote the reviews (Rethlefsen et al. 2015), an even larger role for librarians in conservation systematic reviews may be warranted.

     • summary: Library collection activities which served to smooth the way for closing included aggressive acquisition of electronic journals (both current subscriptions and backfiles), desktop availability of chemical information discovery tools (like SciFinder Scholar and Beilstein/Gmelin CrossFire), staged relocation of materials to minimize user disruption, improvement of cataloging records for serials (print holdings and online access information) and continued addition of online chemical reference and e-book titles. In the case of the University of Chicago's Chemistry Library, the relative importance of these various issues changed over time, and led to periodic changes in library services, physical facilities, and collection practices.

When students see faculty as approachable, caring individuals, boundaries disappear and opportunities for discussion about issues pertinent to their own lives are created (Lamport 1993; Kuh 2001).

     • summary: GIS began appearing in academic libraries during the 1980s, but it truly began to be a part of library services when the 1990 census materials were given to depository libraries as TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) files. Of the 103 libraries surveyed, 31 had already implemented GIS services and an additional 15 were considering its implementation.

     • summary: The technologies discussed are the roots of our current technologies, but the conflicts that shaped the early industry are still affecting science today, especially issues of government funding, anti-science public opinion, and corporate control of research. The heyday of post-war fundamental research funding, when scientists controlled the research agenda with public money, was eventually followed by calls for either voluntary or mandated restrictions on research the public viewed as dangerous, and the book ends with the introduction of private corporate laboratories.

     • summary: A study by Sadler and Given (2007) showed that, historically, libraries have put less efforts into outreach to graduate students, but when they do, graduate students are more likely to consult librarians in the research process. Less outreach to graduate students might come from erroneous assumptions that they are already familiar with library collections and services; however, an extensive survey done by Maughan (1999) at UC Berkeley revealed that over half of graduate students had insufficient knowledge of library instruction and consultation services, as well as other services such as interlibrary loan.

Pointing out that the Commons and the free market are not natural adversaries, David Bollier's Growth of the Commons Paradigm presents a theory of how the growth of the Commons depends upon the relational exchange between the practitioner and the theoretician, noting that the notion of the Commons leads naturally to practical new models for representing, organizing and controlling Commons resources.

     • summary: Disciplinary differences in faculty research data management practices and perspectives. Our results confirm what others have reported about their institutions: research data services are needed, most researchers can manage to get by, but they know that there are other, possibly “best” practices that could be employed to better manage information and data during research.

     • summary: The NSBP student chapter then requested the department instead use the phrase “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color” and the initialization “BIPOC” in order to bring to the forefront the lived experience of their Black and Indigenous faculty members, students, and applicants, and to indicate they understood non-white people were not a monolith and did not deserve to be treated as one. Additionally, it is worth noting that words using ‘under-’ to describe particular student groups, such as URM, are being criticized and critiqued as being white-centered, deficit thinking, and removing distinct attributes of students (Williams 2020).

Whether we are selectors, administrators, reference librarians, catalogers, or one of the new breed of licensing gurus or webmasters, much of our time is spent dealing with questions like these: what is digital information, and how can it be incorporated into our library? can existing collection development policies be adapted to these new formats, or must we start from scratch? what should we buy, what should we lease, what should we not buy or lease, and how do we decide?

     • summary: It would make more sense for science policy to emphasize library research and resource so that grant proposals and peer reviews would be better informed. Federal science agencies should emphasize the comprehensive (task-force if need be) study of all scientific results in many areas of science, medicine, and technology before considering new proposals.

      • flesch: 47
      • summary: We have written these four columns with the following goals To engage readers in meaningful and intentional conversations around justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) and ask them to reflect on their own practices To expose readers to scaffolded social justice concepts as pertinent to serving and teaching people of diverse backgrounds To demonstrate the relevance of social justice concepts by using examples that intersect with science librarianship We have added J (Justice) to EDI to increase the emphasis on Justice work alongside the work of equity, diversity, and inclusion and to acknowledge that social justice work and words are evolving. At each level, we have offered social justice concepts beginning from a foundational level scaffolded up to this current capstone level and partnered each concept with examples based in academic libraries and the sciences.
