 Hi everyone. Thank you for joining us. We're going to go ahead and get started. We had just a handful of folks register but I know that people have been accessing these recordings after the fact and so we're going to go ahead and walk through the entire workshop. I know Kalimba, if you have any questions please let us know. Some of what I cover might not apply to you depending on the the courses that you teach but again I want to share the information so that those who access the recording later have it. But yeah well this will be pretty informal. Let us know if you have any questions or anything unclear. So our workshop today is digital resources to support student research. My colleague Eric and I are going to be walking through this workshop with you. Eric is our university archivist so he's going to be talking about some digital archival collections and I'll be talking about library instruction resources. If you have attended any of our workshops in the past on incorporating library resources, some of what I cover might be a little bit of repeat but some of it will be new. So let me check that chat real quick here. Okay perfect. And before we dive in I'm going to go ahead and pull up the flyer that some of you might have seen already and just let you know what's coming up in our summer faculty workshop series. So next Wednesday my colleague Stacy is going to be covering online course readings, how to use library books and articles. There's some specific things you need to do as far as linking and so she'll be covering that as well as a bunch of other stuff. And then the following Wednesday, August 12th our colleague Kim is going to be talking about copyright in your course and looking at fair use which has certainly sort of surfaced as an issue in this era of mass online teaching. So she'll have a lot of good stuff for you there and you can register for either of these workshops on our workshop calendar on the library's homepage as you did to get to this one. All right so I'm up first. Let me go ahead and pull open my browser here. We had a poll but because we have so few people here I think Eric maybe we can just go ahead and skip that for now. Okay all right so as I mentioned I'm going to be walking through some instruction options that we have available. So if you go from the library's homepage here to services, if you go all the way to the right here under services for for faculty, I'm going to navigate to request an instruction session. Now if you haven't used library instruction before what we do is we will work with you one-on-one to create a session for your class and this can be tailored to a specific research assignment that you're having students doing so maybe you're having them do a literature review on ancient Egypt for example. We can work with you and come to your class and in this virtual world that means come through Zoom and actually walk your students through how to use our databases for example. It can be something a little more abstract like maybe you want your students to learn a little bit more about the peer review process so we can design a lesson around that. Really we work closely with you to tailor that for whatever your goals are. So I won't go through this form in detail but I do want to point out at the top here this is new information that we've added to our website. If you teach a first-year GE course that has a critical information literacy outcome and that includes our written communication, the English course, oral communication which comes out of COM studies, history of the United States, or a first-year or foundation seminar. Those are the courses that we offer a library ambassador visit to. Our library ambassador program is a partnership with undergraduate studies and essentially library ambassadors are CSUSB students who participate in our student mentoring program on campus. So they're leaders, they're highly trained, they're highly responsible usually upper division experience students and they'll actually meet with your class and again in this this era they're going to be doing that virtually through Zoom and they'll give about a 45-minute presentation about the library. You know really basic sort of how to find books, articles, items on course reserve as well as services that are available. It's not any sort of in-depth research but it provides a really good introduction for students for whom all things FAT library are new. We do usually assess this program and we always get really good feedback from from both faculty and students that like saying that they learn a lot and really appreciated it. So if you're interested in that I have a link here to the virtual library ambassador form and this just has you fill out information about your course and when you want the students to join your class and things like that. Currently just due to funding restraints this program is available only to those four classes I mentioned written communication, oral communication, history of the U.S. and first-year seminar. So if you're not teaching any of those courses and teaching something that's 200 and above or 2000 and above this form is what you'll fill out here. So you'll complete your contact information, the course information, preferred date and this here is important the preferred mode of instruction. So as I mentioned we will meet with with your class online through Zoom for a synchronous session but our other option down here is no mode you actually would prefer a pre-recorded video for something asynchronous and so we can work with you on that too. You know maybe you're not meeting with your students regularly or want to make sure that this is available to them throughout the semester that's something we can do. We do ask that this form be submitted at least a week in advance and I would ask especially if you're want a pre-recorded video as soon as possible just to give our librarians time to prepare. We ask them that you attach either an assignment or submit three goals or three objectives or three things that you want your students to learn the more specific the better of course and then you'll submit this form. This form goes to me I'm the coordinator of library instruction and so what I will do at this point is I will identify a librarian who's available and best suited to work with you to teach this library instruction session and then I'll put you in touch with that person and you and that librarian will you know talk talk about the details and figure out who will set up the zoom link and things like that. So this is a great resource for you to take advantage of if you haven't in the past. So I'm going to go back here to the library's home page. I'm going to go back to where I was before but I just wanted to walk you through how I got there go to services and on the bottom right I'm going to pop into CIL lab under services for faculty. CIL lab stands for critical information literacy and this is really a teaching and learning toolkit for faculty for instructors and we have a lot of good stuff here. I won't go through all of it but the one I want to focus on today is this tab instructors corner. Now instructors corner contains readings videos activity prompts infographics a plethora of resources that you can use as you are crafting your own assignments and your own course your own syllabi and if you're interested in integrating critical information literacy or have a research assignment that you'd sort of like to pump up I highly recommend you checking out these materials you can see that these are organized by SLO student learning outcome. These are the library's student learning outcomes so we have five here free versus fee based information so that really addresses sort of the paywall phenomenon and scholarly information being behind a paywall and some information not and ask students to think critically about that. Effective searching is of course sort of the mechanics of how to effectively find information as well as some of the effective skills or affect effective qualities that it takes to be an effective searcher. Popular SLO three popular and scholarly sources really asks students to think about the utilities of these and the differences four is what shapes information this is probably my favorite one this this is the really sort of critical one in my opinion that gets students thinking about what are those forces that shape the information that's created political bias economics you know and the list could go on and on so really really good stuff here especially for discussion and then five is attribution which is everyone's favorite citation. So I'm just going to pop into this one so you can see what you'll find and so at the top we have the student learning outcome written in full and then as I mentioned you're going to see a bunch of resources here so we have discussion prompts class activities a little did you know section videos and then a bunch of related resources which includes library guides more more video tutorials pds that you can hand out for your class and here we have a couple of infographics so please um go ahead and explore this and if you have any questions um you can always contact me what I'm going to do is go ahead and put my own email in the chat here um your foul librarians are always happy to work with you on assignment or assessment design so if you're interested in that like I said reach out to me and um we'll either be working together or I'll put you in touch with a librarian who can do that um if I hover over instructors corner here again I won't go through all of this but we have recommended readings and videos so that's essentially pulled from all these SLOs in a nice list format and then we have CL CIL assignment ideas from faculty here at CSUSB and so this is another place where if you're looking for ideas on how to integrate critical information literacy into your course check these out um you can see that they're listed by last name and then in parentheses here it has the actual course and so we have um different disciplines represented here these assignments come out of professional development opportunities we facilitated with faculty so we um we're running a grant program through for a while these tops who came out of um a couple of workshops that we had in support of folks um transitioning into our new GE program so um also here really good really good ideas and if you have if you see one that you like and you have questions about it I'd be happy to connect you with um the faculty member who wrote it so they can give you more information okay so I'm going to pop over to our next resource which is video tutorials um and these are really popular especially we've seen usage increase a lot now that we've all we've all transitioned online um but you can see here that we have three one for beginners intermediate and advanced researchers by beginners um we generally mean first year students or maybe transfer students for whom um the fowl library and its resources are completely new for intermediate research researchers um we're thinking sort of upper division students and then advanced researchers might be graduating seniors working on capstone or graduate students um the nice thing about these tutorials though is that they're all broken up into components so if I look at two here I see peer review this is a video and it's it's a maximum five minute video what is the literature this is a video intermediate database thing database searching this is a video and then there's an online quiz so if you wanted for example your students to view one video here one video from tutorial one and one video from tutorial three you could absolutely mix and match those um the quizzes at um at the bottom here of each tutorial these address uh the videos that you see above however so if you're going to mix and match it probably wouldn't make sense to assign a quiz to because that information wouldn't necessarily be covered so I'm going to actually walk you through this so it'll hopefully make more sense so if I go here to tutorial two it gives you a little bit about the tutorial and then you navigate through next page here at the bottom and then the first thing you'll see is this first video about peer review I have student learning outcomes listed here and these are outcomes that are addressed in this video and underneath you'll notice we have vocabulary terms like peer review scholarly journal scholarly journal article and these are terms that are addressed in the video but also terms that as librarians as we've worked with students over the years we see as sort of like stuck points or points of confusion or or things that might need some clarification so these are really important and these also show up in the quiz at the end so I'll go to the next page and I'm plopped into our next video which is what is the literature again I have some vocabulary terms go to the next page and then this final one is sort of advanced database searching covers phrase searching and truncation we see our vocab and that's the final video so as students go to the next page what they see here is a quiz and this is a quiz that they can do online it's 20 questions so maybe max will take 10 minutes it's dynamic so if students answer a question correctly they will get feedback and students can take this quiz as many times as they would like after they complete the quiz they get a digital certificate appears that has their name and also has their score and what they can do at that point is download that they can print it they can post it to blackboard however you'd like them to get that to you they can it's just a digital pdf what I recommend and what I've done with my own courses that I've taught is requiring that students get a particular score because you don't want students to get 20% and then that's it right have them take it until they get for example an 80% and then they can upload that to blackboard some students will of course take it as often as as many times as they can to get 100% which is great each each of these three quizzes looks a little different the certificate looks a little different so if you decide to assign more than one quiz you should be able to quickly visually you know be able to visually identify which is which in your blackboard space by the way all of these quizzes and materials in the CIL lab I'm going to go back here to video tutorials tutorial two these are all open source or open access meaning you don't have to worry about proxy linking in the way that you do if you're sharing an article that's behind that lives in a database or something like that in blackboard or in an email or however you're going to communicate with your students just copy and paste the url in your browser and then this pops them in so that's pretty easy all right let's see here it's 1020 so a few more minutes I'm going to go back to the library's homepage and I'm going to navigate down to library guides if you haven't used these before these can be really useful for a course to um guides are essentially information that the librarians have curated for a topic or a skill so let me show you so that makes a little more sense so if you scroll down here you'll see subjects and each subject sort of represents a topic so if I go to chemistry right here say you're teaching a chemistry class you'll see I have two one says chem 590 that's for a guide created for a particular course and so if I open that up my colleague C1 created this and you navigate through this guide at the top but she's she's built this guide essentially to walk students through a particular assignment so we can do that for you and I'll show you shortly how to actually request a library guide go back here um and then we have more generic ones I won't open this one up but this one is about how do you sci finder so um if you if you that's part of your course you want students to use sci finder you can actually um share a link the link which again you would just share up here it's not behind a pay uh don't you don't need to put a proxy link and this guide will help them use sci finder so that's a little more more generic it's not tailored to a specific class other ones that are really popular here are under citing and writing and so we have guides for the different citation styles um that are chock full of good stuff including examples on how to cite different source types so um these are here for you also sort of more tricky or hard to find source types like if you look over here we have local and regional newspapers or national international newspapers we have a couple guides on law legal research which I know as a librarian I will tell you it's not easy same same with some of our business resources so always check here and again you can just share these with students by sharing the link if you want to work with the librarian to create a guide for your particular course we can do that just like we can craft an instruction session um so to access and again it's a form we love our forms if you go to services again navigate to services for faculty and click request request a library guide this will plop you um into a form um and actually my colleague Barbara is sort of coordinating this process but what she'll do is um look at sort of your subject area and what you want and connect you with a librarian who can um build something for you and your students all right so finally I want to actually highlight let me go back to the home page here a resource that um we recently created for information literacy and COVID-19 um because if you're following it there's a lot of misinformation out there and really confusing and I know a lot of faculty are actually incorporating COVID-19 into um into their assignments and their classes which is really cool right it's a very uh a very relevant thing right now um so I'm going to plop back in here to library guides and um what I'm going to do there are a couple ways to find this but the easiest probably is to search COVID-19 oops actually we'll just search COVID here we go and this first result um in bold it says information literacy in the COVID-19 pandemic and I'll go ahead and share this link in the chat as well so you have easy access to it here we go um and this this resource has if you look over on the left um data and media literacy assignments um most of these are pulled from the New York Times lesson of the day which was a resource I wasn't aware of until recently really good stuff here so on different topics and these again all sort of focus on data or statistical literacy so these would be really useful if you are teaching a math class or something like that um or like a media media class over this top box here on the right um these are some tools to help your students identify misinformation and also help them decipher fact versus opinion which sounds really elementary right but I took this second one this newslet quiz I did not pass it there was some opinion that I was like oh that's a fact and I was really confronted with my own bias um so this I mean this is it's not meant to be punitive right but it's more of a learning tool I'm a social when we talk about things like cognitive bias when we're engaging with media so these um this first one is just basically a list of resources that students can use like snopes and fact check um and then this one is that quiz and then there's also a fact checking video that walks through the sift method so check that out if you're interested in it and of course because I'm really interested in critical information literacy um this last box that says a bit of framing um really it talks about the importance of not only focusing on skills like knowing fact versus opinion or fake news versus real news but also asking students to think about sort of the larger media environment and things like deregulation and algorithmic bias and filter bubbles and all of that good stuff and so I have some resources down here that you can check out if you want to incorporate would like to incorporate that that piece which again I think is really really important you need some balance so um those were the resources I wanted to show you today again if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly I have plopped my email into the chat there um and at this point I'm going to turn it over to my colleague Eric and I'm going to stop sharing my screen so it's all you Eric all right let me get set up here all right good morning everyone um so during this part of the workshop I'm going to be introducing you to several online platforms to provide that provide access to digital archival content including our own institutional repository called CSDOC scholar work so let's get started so over the past 10 to 15 years many libraries and archives have devoted considerable resources to mass digitized physical photographs documents and media recordings to digitally image artifacts and other 3d objects and to capture and preserve born digital materials such as data sets as a result of this the amount of digital archival content available online has increased exponentially over the past several years allowing for increased accessibility to archival materials previously only available in physical form on site libraries and archives typically provide access to this digital archival content in one of two ways so the first being through open access digital repositories administered directly by the library or archive and these repositories make content freely and openly available the second way is through subscription based databases that are administered by for-profit publishing companies so the library and archives pay for access to this content and credentialed users must then authenticate to gain access to it since most of the digital archival content is made freely available through open access digital repositories I'm going to focus in on that today but I'll also touch upon a few of the paid databases available to you through the library toward the end of the presentation here it's also worth mentioning uh it's also worth mentioning that all of the platforms I'll cover today have a very similar discovery and display interface for interacting with the content so they are all are going to feature a single google style search box to begin your search and provide multiple options to further refine your search by subject area format type date geographic location and other elements the search results are typically displayed with tiled thumbnail images that include brief descriptions of each item and embedded viewers are available in interface to zoom in pan images and to stream sound and video recordings many even have download options that allow you to save the content for later use so let's begin with csusd scholar works um scholar works is an open access institutional repository that is administered by the file library and it showcases and preserves the research scholarship and publications of csusd faculty staff and students scholar works can be accessed via link on the main page of the library website or directly at the url listed on the fly this repository includes an array of materials from cc dissertations and research projects to digital archival content from special collections in the university archive which is what i'll be focusing in on today so the digital archival content currently available in scholar works generally falls into one of these four categories so the arthur e melton university archives regional newspapers historical photographs and oral history interviews so let's go ahead and take a closer look at each of those areas the university archives is the designated campus repository for record documents publications and other materials pertaining to csusd so beginning with the founding of the university in 1960 the university archives hold materials that document the planning development and history of our campus some key materials from the university archives that have been digitized and incorporated into scholar works include a full run of the coyote chronicle our student newspaper from 1966 to most recently 2020 and this features stories that provide insight into campus life and also the student experience at csusd we've got the csusd magazine from 1972 to 2018 that highlights significant accomplishments major initiatives and other developments at the university and finally the csusd friday bulletin that ran from 1966 through 1999 which is a newsletter that features information on campus events community activities university programs and academic department we've also got several important regional newspapers that are included in the platform so these include three historical community newspapers so the black voice news from 1978 to 2014 the inland empire hispanic news from 1987 to 2009 and the inland empire business journal from 1989 to 2014 these newspapers are a rich resource for local history research and contain news coverage of stories events and communities not well represented in an empire's larger news outlets like the press enterprise or the sun issues of the 1942 press bulletin from pops in arizona documenting japanese-american incarceration during world war two have also been digitized from library holdings and are included on scholar works as well in addition to this uh scholar works contains two historical photograph collection so first we've got the latino baseball history photograph that documents the history of latino softball and baseball with an emphasis on mexican-american baseball in the u.s. we've also got the charles clinton howell photographs and these chronicle the archaeological survey association of southern california's archaeological digs in this region from about 1947 to 1972 lastly we've got two oral history interview collections that are available on the platform so the first is the south colton oral history project that provides accounts of life in south colton which is at 1.3 square miles ethnically segregated mexican-american community within the city limits of colton california and these interviews are done with lifelong residents of the area the other is the bridges that carried us over projects that contain interviews conducted by the wilmer amina carter foundation documenting the presence and contributions of the african-american community and in an empire additional digital archival content is being added to scholar works regularly um and the repository will continue to grow the coming years with new materials that will extend both its coverage and scope even further there are also several other open access digital repositories available online that can support student research one of the most comprehensive collections of digital archival content on the web can be found on the library of congress's digital collections website this website hosts over 400 digital collections containing millions of individual items covering subject areas from american and world history to ethnography science and technology and arts and architecture several featured collections of key historical resources are also highlighted on the website for easy user access one of my favorites is their collection of sandborn maps as you can see on the slide so these maps from the late 19th to mid 20th century contain very detailed information about the city's properties and individual buildings it can be an invaluable resource for documenting changes in american cities over time the library of congress's collection actually includes many cities from in the empire including this one of and bernadina featuring its downtown and these maps can support research in a variety of directions providing many options for student based projects next the national archives and records administration or narra they host a publicly available online catalog that contains over 90 million digitized copies of records from the u.s. government's enormous collection of materials documenting important events in american history digitized records include everything from documents and photographs to film videos and sound recordings and one of the things i like best about narra's platform is how it presents multiple types of records pertaining to a specific historical event in order to provide more comprehensive coverage of that event so for example on the slide you can see you can actually you know through their website listen to president roosevelt's day of infamy speech given after the attack on pearl harbler in 1941 and also view his first annotated draft of that message so from these from these records you can see the speech originally used the phrase will live in world history but president roosevelt crossed that phrase out in favor of will live in infamy which came to be the most recognizable sound bite from that speech the digital archival content made available on narra's website make that type of comparative analysis possible which can lead to some really interesting student research project for research focus on the history of california and the western u.s. there are two excellent open access digital repositories available the first being calisphere which is administered by the california digital library calisphere provides online access to unique and historically important primary source materials in a number of formats from libraries archives and museums located throughout the entire state of california and while the emphasis is on materials pertaining to california in the western u.s. their coverage does extend beyond this to national and international topics so it can also be used for some more general research similar to calisphere is california revealed and this provides online access to archival materials such as newspapers photographs and audiovisual recordings with an emphasis on the latter all of these materials focus on stories and themes pertaining to the gold state so it's definitely california centric and is also best used for student research focused on video and film documentation of our state so now that i've covered where you can find some digital documents photographs and recordings i'm going to turn our attention to looking at some sites that host data sets the data sets can take on many forms and originate from a variety of disciplines for our discussion today i'm going to focus in on two specific types of data sets so those from the government and also social media data sets we're going to start with the u.s. government's open data which is found on the data.gov website here you can find data tools and resources to conduct research develop web and mobile applications and also to design data visualization the data set contains the data sets contained on this site originates from federal state and local government as well as universities located throughout the u.s. topical coverage includes everything from climate and energy to education finance and manufacturing. once you find a data set that is of interest to you and it's selected there's going to be a landing page for it that will look a lot like the one on the fly for the historic arrest data from the nypd the data sets are oftentimes downloadable in several different formats from simple spreadsheets like a csv file to more technical json and xml output this nypd example even has an external link to the city of york's open data website that provides additional tools for working with the data set like the ability to create data visualization directly through the web interface tool like this can be very useful for student research projects allowing them to more easily analyze and compare data and even create visual visualizations like the pie chart for offenses committed that i generated within a few minutes on the new york open data website social media data sets can also be found online and utilized for student research the doc now catalog is a collectively curated listing of twitter of twitter data sets that are generated by researchers librarians and archivists the collection currently consists of 118 data sets that contain more than four billion tweets many of the data sets reflect contemporary environmental health political and social issues such as climate change the covid-19 pandemic recent congressional elections and the black lives matter movement each data set hosted on the site had an individualized landing page that features a brief description of the data set along with its creator the subject and date's cover and the number of tweets this page also contains a link to the to download the tweet id set which is actually only a partial data set that is all the twitter terms of service will allow users to download you can however convert this back into a full data set using the doc now hydrator application which is also available for download on their website using the hydrator application you can output the full data set into either a csv spreadsheet or json format this will give you access to all of the original tweets textual data so you get the creator date tweet text links etc anything else that's on there so everything you see in the tweet on this slide sorry about that i think i forgot to advance so everything you see on the tweet on the slides in the cdc will be exported to spreadsheet form for easy data analysis so that covers a few of the larger open access digital repositories out there now let's take a look at a few of the description-based databases containing digital archival content available from the library these can be accessed from the main page of the library's website under the choose a database heading but keep in mind that since these are paid databases the library has subscribed to each database will require you to log in with your kawaii credentials for access to the content so the first one academic videos online or avon provides access to 68 000 streaming video titles from producers such as california newsreel pbs bloomberg anaburg learner semi-picture classics and others ethnic news watch provides historical coverage of native american african-american and spanish-american periodicals from 1959 to 1989 and lastly high and online this provides historical collections such as the congressional serial set federal legislative history agency reports and decisions and foreign relations of the united states again all of these are great resources for digital archival content that can support student research in a number of different ways i think that pretty much covers most of the popular platforms out there for accessing digital archival content so if you have questions let me know or feel free to email me
