    Augmenting Orientation: Animating an Interactive Welcome Event at an Academic Library with AR and VR
    (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2018-06-15) Hornick, Julie N.; Wade, Steven
    The chapter begins with some background on the technological climate of the summer of 2016, and a consideration of library anxiety. We then discuss how we were led to choose the Aurasma augmented reality and Google Cardboard virtual reality apps based on student interest. The chapter will conclude with a description of how we set up the event. With this case study, we hope to provide similar organizations, as well as school or public libraries without extensive in-house IT support, but with enthusiastic library staff, with an easy-to-follow model of the planning process and steps taken to set up these interactive activities.

    The Research Sprint: Faculty as Learners in an Academic Library
    (2018-10) Galbraith, Nora; Hornick, Julie N.; Morgan, Marina; Schaad, Gerrianne; Wade, Steven
    Traditionally, FSC librarians have offered professional development to campus faculty. However, as attendance at the workshop fell, the sessions were canceled. To revive interest, we found inspiration in a summer program we offer – the Faculty Research Marathon – when the library is reserved for faculty research and writing. Supplementing the Marathon format with information useful for faculty, we rebranded our workshops as a Research Sprint, with each session providing focused work time after a brief presentation about library resources. The PDI was successfully implemented, and sign-up numbers were high. Feedback was positive, with suggestions including a library tour for new faculty, handouts, and shortening the presentation time. Participants also requested resources to help track research and information on leveraging social media for research sharing.

    Stop! Don’t Share That Story!: Designing a Pop-Up Undergraduate Workshop on Fake News
    (Taylor & Francis, 2018-10) Wade, Steven; Hornick, Julie N.
    For the past few years librarians across the country have been leaders in the fight against fake news. This article describes an hour-long drop-in lesson given to undergraduate students on how to avoid falling victim to fake news. Particular emphasis is placed on how social media platforms contribute to the spread of bad information, and how students can alter their habits in order to help combat fake news in their own social circle. The lesson includes four engaged learning activities and can be taught without student access to computers. This low-tech approach is highly adaptable to different settings and class sizes. Students leave the session with the resources and knowledge to see past deceptive practices in the media and to take a more thoughtful approach to news consumption.
