NSUCO - The Visionary Fall 2010

the VISIONARY • Summer/Fall 2010 12 BELOWARE SOME EXAMPLES OF LIBGUIDES CREATED AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS: http://researchguides.uic.edu/healthsciences from the University of Illinois, Chicago • http://subjectguides.library.unsw.edu.au/content.php?pid=11693&s id=78448&search_terms=optometry from the University of New SouthWales, Australia • http://pacificu.libguides.com/content.php?pid=35994&sid=264936 from Pacific University, Oregon In addition to providing new LibGuides for assistance in research, liaisons also work with faculty members as an instructional part- ner to provide instructional and academic support in reaching the objectives of the curriculum. This partnership is especially critical in the current and dynamic state of library services. We have found that most of our users prefer to access materials online, which is why we are working to accommodate this preference. For this reason, access to the HPD Library resources are rapidly changing. For example, resources that were previously available in print may now be provided in different formats as we purchase more online library subscription resources. As your liaison, I hope to keep you informed on exciting resources available to you such as new e-books and new databases via Twit- ter: HPD Library News , accessible from the HPD Library homepage at http://www.nova.edu/hpdlibrary/index.html . New databases and e-books added most recently include Bates Physical Examination streaming videos, Red Book Online , Dy- naMed, Visual Dx, and Psychiatry Online . Liaison services for fac- ulty members also include: • updating syllabi to reflect the latest edition of required and supplemental reading assignments and facilitating access to readings that may be available through online books and journals • providing middleware – library instruction within your WebCT or Blackboard course via Courtney’s Corner, with assignment-specific videos, PowerPoints, or handouts to accompany research-based learning • library instruction classes or new supplemental a la carte sessions to review using Endnote or PubMed, in person or online • personalized faculty research assistance to find literature related to your topic • library orientation for new faculty as well as current faculty members who want information on using newer library resources • assignment-specific educational technology support • course-specific resource support Another project in progress by your HPD Library liaison is creating a vehicle for different disciplines to share their research. We hope to create a searchable HPD database to share scholarly commu- nication across the HPD colleges, accessible from the HPD Library homepage. The possibilities for collaboration in research are very exciting, and we hope to have a role in bringing people together to share their work with their colleagues. With effective instructional partnering and communication, your HPD Library liaison hopes to serve as an extension to your class- room as well as your personal assistant to your success. Feel free to drop by anytime; my door is always open. All my contact infor- mation is available on the HPD Library Ask a Librarian Web page. I look forward to helping you.
