Faculty Support...
The second artifact, Faculty Support, describes three theoretical LibGuides designed to instruct faculty in various tools, services, and methods that may be relevant to their research. The following three topics continue to be particularly important at my current institution (Ferrum College, Ferrum, Virginia) as the library is working in conjunction with marketing and administration to correct some long-standing faculty habits when it comes to scholarly communication. The topics are as follows:
Dissemination and preservation of research output, specifically Ferrum’s different institutional repositories (Digital Library of Appalachia and Preservica)
Ethical /legal issues specifically looking at intellectual property issues regarding copyright
Open resources (OER/OA/OAR).
For each of these topics, I have stated to create LibGuides show casing the modules as they were designed within the project. For each of the topics above, learing outcomes were orgnaized as such:
