Information Literacy & Student Performance Research Article Makes Top 20 on ALA LIRT Annual List<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“It can be challenging for instruction librarians to create sustained collaborations with instructors beyond the one-shot instruction session. The results from this study make a compelling case for why collaborating with disciplinary instructors on course design\u2015such as working together to design meaningful assignments throughout the term\u2015can provide benefits for students in gaining information literacy skills, as well as helping them engage more deeply with course content.” \u2015 Melissa Harden, <\/em>LIRT Top Twenty Articles 2019 Selection Committee <\/em><\/p>\n

Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies Assistant Professor Michael Flierl, Associate Professor Clarence Maybee, and Instructional Designer Rachel Fundator, as well as Purdue Center for Instructional Excellence Instructional Developer Emily Bonem, were recently recognized by the Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) for their research article \u201cInformation literacy supporting student motivation and performance: Course-level analyses.\u201d Read more…<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Students at the Purdue Office of Undergraduate Research Summer Social in the Co-Rec.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) held its annual Summer Research Social in June to bring together undergraduate researchers and their research mentors from multiple programs across campus. The intent of hosting this campus-wide event is for students to connect with those outside of their research programs or areas while they are on campus for the summer. At the event, participants were able to have a pizza lunch and snack on donut bites while playing bingo and trivia. Winners of the games got to take home various prizes, such as bound journals and salad shakers, while everyone got a beach ball to celebrate summer.

Passing the Gavel Back to Purdue<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"New

At the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., last week, Purdue Libraries and School of Information Studies Associate Professor Ilana Stonebraker is passed the gavel as the new chair<\/a> of the Business Reference and Services Section (BRASS) of the ALA Reference and User Services (RUSA) Division. On the left is Natasha Arguello of University of Texas at San Antonio, the outgoing BRASS chair elect. The tradition was started 25 years ago by Purdue Libraries Professor Judy Nixon.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Purdue

Purdue Libraries and School of Information Studies Professor Judy Nixon<\/a> (left), who served as the chair of BRASS in RUSA in 1995\/1996, began the tradition in BRASS of passing the gavel to the new chair each year. Prof. Stonebraker discovered this when she received the gavel this year, as Prof. Nixon’s name was on the bottom of the box in which the gavel is stored. Nixon said she bought the gavel at a kiosk in the mall in Lafayette. The gavel is engraved with the word “BRASS.”<\/p><\/div>\n
