Designed for librarians who offer library instruction within the
constraints of the hour-long one-shot, this book proposes a method
for redesigning one-shot instruction that is both realistic and
integrated into the larger curriculum. Working with faculty teams
from academic departments, the authors used the collaborative
Lesson Study method to redesign undergraduate research instruction.
They describe how to winnow the one-shot down to a manageable
active learning experience while simultaneously augmenting it with
extra-sessional prerequisites and learning activities. They also
discuss how to conceptualize the role of the one-shot within a
course, a curriculum, and the larger information literacy goals of
the institution. This book offers customizable strategies, sample
lesson plans, and generalized observations based on the experiences
of the authors. Maximizing the One-Shot: Connecting Library
Instruction with the Curriculum covers the following aspects of
one-shot development: *Understanding the role of the one-shot
institutionally and its limits. *Setting realistic goals. *The
Lesson Study approach. *Collaborating with departmental faculty.
*Assessment of the one-shot. *Supporting the one-shot with
additional materials. *Expanding one-shot development to other
departments and programs. In addition, the book provides interviews
with collaborating faculty members of academic departments who have
partnered with library faculty.
Instead of using expensive off-the-shelf surveys or relying on a
poorly worded survey, read Making Surveys Work for Your Library and
design your own that collect actionable data. Library listservs and
websites are littered with examples of surveys that are too long,
freighted with complex language, and generally poorly designed. The
survey, however, is a widely used tool that has great potential if
designed well. Libraries can implement surveys for a variety of
purposes, including planning, program evaluation, collection
development, and space design. Making Surveys Work for Your
Library: Guidance, Instructions, and Examples offers librarians a
contemporary and practical approach to creating surveys that answer
authentic questions about library users. Miller and Hinnant have
experience designing, deploying, and analyzing quantitative and
qualitative data from large-scale, web-based user surveys of
library patrons as well as smaller survey instruments targeted to
special populations. Here, they offer library professionals a guide
to developing-and examples of-concise surveys that gather the data
they need to make evidence-based decisions, define the scope of
future research, and understand their patrons. Create practical
surveys you can use immediately in your professional work Design
effective survey questions that will give you the information you
need Develop a survey with a clear objective Model your surveys on
