 of library resources. And you'll probably got to know that this is being recorded. So let's go ahead and get started. First, we'll do introductions of ourselves. Chris, do you want to go first? Hi everybody, my name is Carissa Powell. I use she, her, her pronouns. My role in the library is that I am the student success librarian for information literacy. In this role I work with a lot of new and undergraduate students to teach them about how to do research in the library. If you are in a first year composition course, English 101, 102, 198, 298, I am also your go-to librarian. And I am Amber Sewell. I use she, her, hers pronouns. I'm the teaching and learning librarian here at Hodges Library. And I serve as liaison to first year programs. So first year studies, transition, the bridge program. I'm your gal. So today we're going to be covering physical library buildings and then the resources that you can access on campus. We'll go over one search and how to get help. And then we'll stay 30 minutes after the lecture portion. That way if you guys have any questions for us or if you saw a tool that you really wanted to explore and have us on standby. If you have questions, we'll do that too. All right, so first question that I don't think I even knew until I started working in libraries. What do librarians even do? Let's see. Really it depends, librarians do all kinds of things and it depends on which library you're talking to. We've got our public service librarians who are kind of the face of the library. They work at the service desk when you walk in. They are the frontline. If anybody has any questions, if you schedule research assistance, that's them. I as a teaching and learning librarian teach primarily. That's my main focus. But I also create instructional materials for first year students, which can be everything from a tutorial or research guide to really cool games, one of which I'll show you guys later. Chris, did you have anything to add? I wanted to list this here because I too don't think I knew what an academic librarian did until I went to library school. So I really think of my role as being solely mainly to support students. So if you're here today, Amber and I are here to support you. There is no such thing as a question too basic. If you're thinking it, someone else is probably thinking it too. So you can drop questions in the chat. We'll show you how to get help after today. And we're hoping that this session will leave you feeling like you have a better idea of how the libraries can support you. Awesome. So we are going to switch back to that padlet. Let us know in the chat if you will need the link for that. And now if you haven't already answered the second question, we just like to know what you're hoping to learn from this session. Are you looking more for in-person resources? Do you want to know how to use the library online? Or are you really looking for a mix of the two? I see so far we've got both, which is excellent. General overview. Well, we can hook you up there. So I'm going to get started here at the library's home page. This is kind of any, after today if you have any questions, this is the place to go to get help. We have several different physical libraries here. There's not just Hodges. And you can learn more about them on our home page over here on the right. We've got them listed what their physical hours are and then what the hours are for their online support. And so that can be chat. It can be research consultations. And like I said, we do have Hodges, which is our main library, but we also have Pendergrass, which is our library over on the Ag campus. And they have more specialized resources for like veterinary sciences and agriculture. But they also have our 3D printer. They've got their own study rooms. They've got a large format poster. And so it's definitely for any student to use. You don't have to be in one of those majors. We also have the Divine Music Library. So this is, as it says, it's a library for all of our musical resources. And normally this one is open for study spaces as well, but this semester they're only open for research purposes. And then we've got two services down here that are both housed in Hodges library but have different hours. So we have the studio, which is our multimedia resource. You can come here and you can see they've got all kinds of different resources for you guys. Media editing design. We also have workstations in Hodges and Common South. So if you have a media project that you're working on and you don't necessarily have the software you need, you can go to one of these workstations and use those. There are also audio rooms, video rooms, and a virtual reality room. Those are all closed this semester just for cleaning guidelines and social distancing purposes. But they can help you out there. They do have this awesome resource guide that kind of walks you through how to create media projects like podcasts or videos for assignments. How to do that with your own devices. And they also have this awesome chat with the studio button. So if you have any questions about how to use library resources to work on these kind of multimodal assignments, you can chat directly with them. And then we also have special collections, which is really awesome. It's kind of like a really tiny museum in the library. It's a great place to find primary sources. I saw a couple people who filled out asking about challenges. We're talking about primary sources, special collections is great with that. And this is their website. You can also see they've got some research guides and digital collections as well. But if you're going into the physical library, they are by appointment only. So to visit any of these locations, you are going to be required to wear masks at all times. Hodges and pender grass both have little special areas designated for people to eat and drink at so you are allowed to remove your mask in those areas. But the rest of the time you will have to have your mask on and social distancing signage is everywhere. So, you know, if you're standing in line, we've got little blockers, all the computers are spaced out seating spaced out. And so you can expect that at all of the locations. Another common question we get for in person or on campus resources is how do you print? Can we still print at the library? You definitely can. That's going to be in common south. You can use one of the computers there. And the studio is also the only printer in the library that has colored printing. But all of the other floors have printers that you can connect to remotely and print from your own device. You just want to make sure you've got money on your wall card. Another common question we get is where do we go for online classes? Say you have two classes on campus, but you have an online class in the middle. Can you come to the library to take your class? And the answer is of course. We do have room 209, which if you don't know where that is, we do have a little maps and directions link here. And we have these cool little floor maps of each floor of the library. So if you come in the Miller's interest, we've got the public service desk here. This room has been set up for students to take online classes. And so we've got desks that are spaced apart. I think they've got little partitions to give you a little bit of privacy. They do ask that you still keep your mask on and they ask that you bring headphones, but this is one space that's been set up for students to take classes. And you can also go to the third or sixth floor. There we have little study carols. They're like little desks that line the floors by the windows. They all have been reserved by students as the graduate students. So there is a chance that if you're hanging out there, somebody can show up and be like, Hey, you're in my carol. This is where I study. And then you just pick up and like scoot to the next one. But those are also available for you as study spaces. And then we do have a link that I can drop and chat or if Lee has got it of other study spaces around campus. They've put out an interactive map to show you other places if those are full. And then we had a question about another question we get asked most often is what about a laptop. Can I check out a laptop at the studio. They usually do have this comments equipment desk. What I'll say is there are a limited amount of laptops to be checked out every day from Hodges. They go pretty quickly. There's only a six hour long time and the internet does not work off campus, but we do have this link here where you can go request a laptop from for the semester. And so this is usually your best bet. All right, I went through all of that very quickly. Are there any questions quickly before I handed over to Miss Carissa, which floors are silent. So the easiest way to remember that is all of the floors that start with an F are silent. So first, fourth and fifth, those are the quiet floors. I learned that trick like in the spring semester and love it because I could never remember which were quiet and which were group study before then. I don't remember who taught me that but it's a it's a good trick. If you love super silent. I do recommend the reading room on the first floor. I definitely would have to walk through that floor to get to my office and if my keys just made a little too much noise like I got I got stairs, very quiet. So we're going to do our last padlet question, which is, what do you anticipate being challenging about using library resources. And I see two questions so far about primary sources, which I completely relate to. And we can absolutely give some, I can, there's a whole workshop also just about primary resources which I would also recommend coming to printing narrowing down and finding good sources these are. I'm not alone in any of these things feeling challenging. I myself could not print the first time I had to print in Hodges library, I had to ask for help and that's okay. All right, so in terms of finding and narrowing down sources that actually lends itself really nicely to what I'm going to talk about. So I'm going to talk about one search, has anyone used one search before today, maybe like in the chat. If you have, I'm sure you will learn something new. So one search is a really great tool that I want to make sure that everyone knows how to use. It's great for if you're just starting out with your research if, or if you're looking for a really specific title, those feel like opposites but this tool is good for both of those. I really like this visual because it shows kind of visually what's in this tool. So we have both everything that is under UT collection says it's print books, ebooks, anything video audio digital collections journals maps. It also searches a really large portion of our articles and databases, such as journal articles newspapers magazines. You can see from this visual that there are some things that are not included in one search, which is why you might search a specific database. But today I want to give a really brief overview of how to use one search. After today, this will be great if you come to one of our other workshops which will focus more broadly and how to do a deeper dive into some of these tools. So we are back on our library's homepage. And as you can see here, one search is smack dab in the middle of the homepage. So I'm going to pretend that I'm doing really broad research. I'm just starting my topic. I'm not really sure what's out there and I'm going to search for peanut butter. So I'm going to type in my keyword, and I'm going to hit search or submit or enter any of those would work here. So we've got over 71,000 results about peanut butter. And as someone mentioned in the padlet, we want to make sure that we know how to narrow down from the 71,000. I recommend looking on the left hand side of the page over here. One way to narrow down is by availability. Maybe you are 100% doing school from home and you want to see what's available online. Maybe your professor is requiring that you use a peer review journal article. You can narrow there. You can also narrow by format. So if you are looking specifically for an article or a book or really any of these types of format. I'm going to show briefly what it would look like to find an article in one search. So if I click article and apply my filter. I would read through some of these titles to see what jumps out at me. There's a lot of interesting things happening with peanut butter in the world. I'm going to go with this first one and I would click the title there in the middle of the page. From here, you would want to maybe learn more about the authors learn more about where it's published. If this does look like something you want to keep track of after today, you would want to save the permalink, which is a permanent link back to this page, or you can send it to yourself in an email, either of those are really good options. From here, you would want to find how to actually access the article and any of these two links would be fine. So we're going to try out the first one. And here's our article. If you are maybe looking for a book that's going to look a little different. So if we're searching by format we have both print and electronic books. Both are great. I might be really interested in this creamy, crunchy informal history of peanut butter. So I'm going to click on that title. Something to note here is that if the book is available, it'll pop up green. If it's not available, it'll be great out. It can be incredibly frustrating if you go all the way to the library to look for a book that is already checked out. I encourage folks to double check that. My favorite feature in this tool is this map it feature. So if I click there. It'll actually tell me exactly what library to go to exactly what floor to go to the other two really important pieces of information is that you want your shelving row label, which is like the street address of the book. And then we've got our call number, just like the house number of the book. I know that's a ton of information, but this is just a little something to get everybody started. I want to give a moment for specific questions about one search. Could you go back to the map. You cut out really bad for me whenever you were explaining that part. Thank you so much for telling me that I appreciate that. Yeah. So if you're looking for any physical book in the library, you would click on any of these titles. And then there's a little blue map it question. Can you see that. And then you would click the map it. And it just gives you a map to that floor. And if you zoom all the way in, you can actually see that it highlights where on the floor to go. Thank you for letting me know I cut out. I want to make sure that everybody knows how to get help after today. So I'm trying to get a stop share share. So we are back on the library's home page. And if you need help after today for absolutely anything. There's this get help tab kind of like a nice teal color. And there's a couple different ways to get in contact you can call the library anytime that we're open talk to someone on the phone. You can also text the library, which is really easy to do. If you have a more in depth question and you want to meet with a librarian maybe who knows a little bit more about the subject area you're researching. You can fill out a consultation request. These are all taking over zoom this semester. But I do research consultations with students all the time it's a really great way if you're hitting a wall with your research, especially for the folks who are looking for primary sources. Fill out our research consultation. If you're an English 102 you'll probably be meeting with me and we'll have a lot of fun looking for primary sources. The very easiest way to get in contact is to chat with us or like in my opinion. I love using chat. You could click chat with us and you'll get a little page that looks like this. You'd fill out your name, your how to get in contact. This is really great for really quick questions where you're like, hey I went to the library workshop and I forgot how to use one search and someone can help you out. So that is my best bet for getting in contact with the library. Amber is going to tell us a little bit about the game she has created that I think a lot of students are going to enjoy. Let me find my mute and mute button. And did you want to share this? Drop the link in chat. So this was an introduction of course to the libraries. It's only half an hour so we couldn't cover everything or probably couldn't go as in depth as maybe you wanted. I have made this choose your own library adventure game. So the link is in chat. And this is a text based game where you can log in and essentially choose your research task. This is a fun way to kind of learn all of the different resources and services available to you. It was also built with this fall in mind so you can go in and kind of see maybe you're not sure if you want to come on campus. You're not sure what that would look like. You can play the game and it'll show you different pictures around Hodges of like the self service kiosk or what the plexiglass barrier public service looks like. It also walks you through how to use the different resources and services if you are wholly online this semester. It's full of links and many of which we showed you today. But it's just a fun little way to kind of explore different ways to use the library and its resources this semester. Does anybody have any questions about the game. I'll be sure to if you lose the link or whatever you can always chat in and I'll make sure that they know what you're talking about. Awesome. I didn't see anything so we'll go ahead and wrap things up. So we do. No, you go for it. Oh, so we do have an end of session survey that we would love if you guys would fill out and just answer a couple of quick questions for us. If you require attendance for this workshop that's what this is. You can also put that in the survey. I'll let Chris talk about her workshop next Wednesday. Thank you all so much for being here today. We will be here every Wednesday at 230 for the rest until the end of October. Next week's workshop is going to be about a tool called power notes which will help you organize your research and help you get started on writing your paper. Thank you so much for being here again we would super appreciate if you filled out the end of session survey and Amber and I will stick around for any questions you might have.
