“This second volume of Undergraduate Research & the Academic
Librarian: Case Studies and Best Practices provides colleges and
universities with a set of models that inspire and enrich
undergraduate research, demonstrating the contributions of academic
librarians to student success.” —From the Foreword by Janice
DeCosmo Undergraduate research is a specific pedagogical practice
with an impact on teaching and learning, and the definition of what
counts as research continues to expand to include different types
of projects, mentors, and institutions. Diversity, equity, and
inclusion in librarians’ work with students and faculty are
present and growing. Collaborations between faculty, librarians,
and students are furthering student knowledge in new ways. This
community and an awareness of students’ non-academic challenges
demonstrate the library’s contribution to students’ overall
sense of belonging within their institutions. This second
volume of Undergraduate Research & the Academic Librarian
contains 22 new chapters that explore these expanded definitions of
research and the changes wrought in the profession and the world in
the intervening years. Five sections examine: First-Year
Undergraduate Research Models Cohort-Based Models Tutorials,
Learning Objects, Services, and Institutional Repositories
Course-Based Undergraduate Research Collaborations Building and
Sustaining Programs Throughout the book you’ll find lesson
plans, activities, and strategies for connecting with students,
faculty, and undergraduate research coordinators in support of
undergraduate engagement and success. Undergraduate Research &
the Academic Librarian, Volume 2, captures both the big picture
view of undergraduate research as well as the front-line work in
the classroom, at the reference desk, and online.

Undergraduate research is often conflated with standard
end-of-semester research papers, featuring APA style bibliographies
and a certain number of sources. But in fact, undergraduate
research is one of several high-impact educational practices
identified by George Kuh and the Association of American Colleges
& Universities, and is increasingly seen as a vital part of the
undergraduate experience. Research helps students connect the dots
between their interests, general education courses, writing
requirements, and major coursework, and increases learning,
retention, enrollment in graduate education, and engagement in
future work. In 25 chapters featuring 60 expert contributors,
Undergraduate Research and the Academic Librarian examines how the
structures that undergird undergraduate research, such as the
library, can become part of the core infrastructure of the
undergraduate experience. It explores the strategic new services
and cross-departmental collaborations academic libraries are
creating to support research: publishing services, such as
institutional repositories and undergraduate research journals;
data services; copyright services; poster printing and design;
specialized space; digital scholarship services; awards; and much
more. These programs can be from any discipline, can be
interdisciplinary, can be any high-impact format, and can reflect
upon an institution’s own history, traditions, and tensions. As
higher education becomes more competitive—for dollars, for
students, for grant money, for resources in general—institutions
will need to increase their development of programs that provide
the experiential and deep learning, and increased engagement, that
research provides. The scholarly and extracurricular experiences of
college are increasingly becoming a major part of marketing college
education. Beyond the one-shot, beyond course-integrated
instruction, Undergraduate Research and the Academic Librarian is a
detailed guide to how librarians can help students go beyond a
foundation of information literacy toward advanced research and
information management skills.
Common Ground at the Nexus of Information Literacy and Scholarly
Communication presents concepts, experiments, collaborations, and
strategies at the crossroads of the fields of scholarly
communication and information literacy. The seventeen essays and
interviews in this volume engage ideas and describe vital
partnerships that enrich both information literacy and scholarly
communication programs within institutions of higher education.
Contributions address core scholarly communication topics such as
open access, copyright, authors' rights, the social and economic
factors of publishing, and scholarly publishing through the lens of
information literacy. This volume is appropriate for all university
and college libraries and for library and information school
collections.
From those first baby giggles, we begin to use laughter. It can be
used to make us popular and it can be used as an emotional release
mechanism. Whilst we are born with the physical ability to laugh,
the capacity to utilise it as a social tool is something we learn.
And in order to do this, we need to develop a sense of humour.
Stephanie Davies is one of the country's preeminent laughter
experts. A former stand-up comedian, she studied the science of
laughter and founded Laughology, a unique enterprise which teaches
individuals in the public and private sectors how to enhance their
potential through laughter and humour. She has over ten years'
experience of developing interventions that have been applied in a
wide variety of settings dealing with complex public and mental
health issues and building teams in high profile organisations. The
book explains simple techniques that will improve the reader's
ability to gain a morepositive perspective in difficult situations
and increase his or her happiness through adopting the techniques
from the Laughology model. The key subjects covered are: What is
laughter? What is humour? The psychological connection What makes
us laugh and how to find your humour trigger Your inner child - the
natural comedian Appropriate humour and laughter The SMILE strategy
How to find and sustain your giggle For such an integral facet of
humanity, the academic study of laughter and humour is still a
relatively new field. Increasingly, however, experts are beginning
to investigate the personal and social benefits of laughter. One of
the best documented examples of the effect laughter can have on
health involves the writer Norman Cousins, who was diagnosed with a
debilitating spinal disease and given a one in 500 chance of
survival in 1964. Rather than stay in hospital, he checked into a
hotel where he took large doses of vitamin C and devised a
treatment programme consisting of positive behaviours such as
laughter, love and joy. He watched as much comedy as he could,
including episodes of Candid Camera and The Marx Brothers movies
and found that, over time, laughter stimulated chemicals in his
body which allowed him several hours of pain-free sleep. He
continued the treatment until, eventually, his disease went into
remission and he was able to return to work. He wrote: I made the
joyous discovery that 10 minutes of genuine belly laughter had an
anaesthetic effect and would give me at least two hours of
pain-free sleep.
