Assessment: We know we should do it but does it have to be so difficult?
Date: August 2008
Creator: Byerly, Gayla & Downey, Annie
Description: This paper discusses assessments. Assessment is an essential part of a quality library instruction program. Librarians learn in library school, at conferences, in articles, and on the job that continuous assessment is necessary to ensure instruction is relevant and effective. So why aren't librarians implementing more assessment programs? Teachers of K-12 and college instructors have used assessment for innumerable years to determine if students are learning concepts and meeting objectives. The thought of not using assessment in the classroom is unthinkable for the majority of teachers. As librarians are doing more and more teaching and are considered teaching faculty in many school districts and at many institutions of higher education, it is more important than ever that we implement assessments in library classrooms.

Best Practices for Librarians Embedded in Online Courses
Date: 2010
Creator: Hoffman, Starr & Ramin, Lilly
Description: This article discusses embedded librarian services. Abstract: Academic librarians interested in collaborating with faculty in online courses often express questions about their role, level of involvement, and activities. This article provides a list of best practices to guide those developing embedded librarian services. The practices are drawn from a review of the literature, as case study of one embedded librarian's experiences, and a mixed methods study of embedded librarianship at six institutions. The resulting best practices will help embedded librarians collaborate effectively with faculty to create a positive learning experience for distance students.

Briefing the Case: Constitution Day Outreach to Campus and Community
Date: 2012
Creator: Leuzinger, Julie
Description: This article discusses Constitution Day outreach to campus and community. The celebration of Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) on September 17th each year began in 2005 as a mandate for all publicly funded educational institutions to provide instructive activities that recognize the adoption of the United States Constitution in 1787 (U.S. Department of Education). There are many creative and engaging ways to commemorate the signing of our Constitution. The University of North Texas has its own traditions, which are shared in this document along with some other resources and ideas to get others started on Constitution Day celebrations at their own institutions.

Collaborating with Your Local Public Library
Date: 2009
Creator: Hoffman, Starr; Downey, Annie & Sears, Suzanne
Description: This book chapter discusses collaborating with local public libraries. In 2006, the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries began a more conscious effort to collaborate with the local Denton Public Library. This effort developed into three distinct programs: a seamless service for delivery of government information, a cooperative one-book one-community program, and public library workshops led by UNT librarians. These efforts keep all of the libraries in town strong as we share resources and knowledge and present a unified front to our citizenry. This chapter focuses on the dynamics of these three distinct programs, and identifies the pros and cons of such a collaboration. It also includes the procedures and timeline for establishing this partnership and identifies some of the key decision-makers to include in the planning process.
