The first wave of open access journals launched in the early and mid-2000s, and in the intervening years, the number of open titles has risen dramatically (Laakso et al. 2011; van Noorden 2014). keywords: access; doaj; journals; open cache: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/cache/istl-1.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/txt/istl-1.txt item: #2 of 1035 id: istl-10 author: None title: Biology Student Perceptions of Information Literacy Instruction in the Context of an Essential Skills Workshop Series date: None words: 11093 flesch: 50 summary: Metrics** 201L 1258 16 + online 973 (77%) 407 (32%) *denotes online workshop **denotes combination of in-person and online workshops In most cases, student workshop attendance rates were relatively high, at 70% or above.

The study also examined how graduate students learn research data management, and how faculty perceive that their students learn research data management. keywords: data; data management; education; faculty; graduate; graduate students; rdm; research; research data; students cache: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/cache/istl-12.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/txt/istl-12.txt item: #4 of 1035 id: istl-13 author: None title: Information Literacy Strategies Used by Second- and Third-Year Biology Students date: None words: 7186 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). keywords: information; literacy; research; science; scientific; students; year cache: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/cache/istl-13.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/txt/istl-13.txt item: #5 of 1035 id: istl-1330 author: None title: istl-1330 date: None words: 2703 flesch: 55 summary: NAVIGATING THE INTERNET AND ACTIVE LEARNING IN LIBRARY INSTRUCTION LINES: 138-157 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MATERIALS PRESERVATION SURVEY LINES: 158-236 A REPORT ON THE PATENT AND TRADEMARK DEPOSITORY LIBRARY TRAINING CONFERENCE, MARCH 21-25, 1994, ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA BY SUSAN MAGEE, UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO LINES: 237-291 BOOK REVIEWS: INTRODUCING THE INTERNET--A TRAINER'S WORKSHOP BY LEE DAVID JAFFE ALL ABOUT INTERNET FTP--LEARNING AND TEACHING TO TRANSFER FILES ON THE INTERNET BY DAVID F.W.

This method gives us access to information we might not otherwise be able to obtain: it allows us to understand the holistic landscape of researcher needs, to rapidly learn of changes in researcher practices, and to identify researcher priorities for library service. keywords: campus; design; faculty; graduate; library; research; services cache: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/cache/istl-1652.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/txt/istl-1652.txt item: #325 of 1035 id: istl-1653 author: None title: Hunting for Knowledge: Using a Scavenger Hunt to Orient Graduate Veterinary Students date: None words: 3538 flesch: 57 summary: Library scavenger hunts: Literature Review Academic libraries that have used scavenger hunts during orientation report varying strategies and degrees of success. keywords: hunt; library; scavenger; students cache: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/cache/istl-1653.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/txt/istl-1653.txt item: #326 of 1035 id: istl-1654 author: None title: Winning the Popularity Contest: Researcher Preference When Selecting Resources for Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics Dissertations date: None words: 5566 flesch: 48 summary: Literature Review Other authors have conducted similar multi-year studies examining theses and dissertations for science and engineering disciplines and identified distributions of citation categories.

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. keywords: information; literacy; science; standards cache: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/cache/istl-1825.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/txt/istl-1825.txt item: #499 of 1035 id: istl-1826 author: None title: Library Instruction in an Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Program date: None words: 4835 flesch: 31 summary: In an effort to understand the challenges associated with teaching library and information skills to students focusing in interdisciplinary areas, I will discuss the nature of interdisciplinary scholarship, the problems associated with accessing and locating interdisciplinary information with subject-based information tools, the opportunities that electronic information resources and a networked information environment present for interdisciplinary researchers, and the juxtaposition of increasing interdisciplinary study and the complex information environment in which we work. 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. keywords: environmental; information; interdisciplinary; library; research; studies cache: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/cache/istl-1826.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/txt/istl-1826.txt item: #500 of 1035 id: istl-1827 author: None title: Guide to Information Sources in Engineering date: None words: 695 flesch: 46 summary: By including web resources in the appropriate chapters, Lord helps raise the digital format to the level of the print resource.

Plant conservation can be considered a part of conservation biology, a relatively young field that emphasizes the conservation of biodiversity and whole ecosystems, as opposed to the conservation of individual species (Soulé 1985). keywords: available; conservation; database; information; native; plant; site; species cache: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/cache/istl-2041.html plain text: /shared/reader-library/issues-in-science-and-technology-libraries/txt/istl-2041.txt item: #718 of 1035 id: istl-2042 author: None title: Marketing and Outreach for Science & Technology Libraries date: None words: 2911 flesch: 33 summary: Peter Scott's Library Blog {http://xrefer.blogspot.com/} This directory of academic library blogs is compiled by Peter Scott, a consultant with Northern Lights Internet Solutions, and sponsored by xrefer.com.
