1. At the Design, Architecture, Art and Planning Library - we are concerned that our current periodicals are not being used to the fullest extent. We are searching for new and creative ideas to entice students to use our collection. We have noticed since our last journal use survey 5 years ago that the use has declined. I am sure we can attribute a lot of that to Internet - but as we know - a significant portion of art/design periodicals are not yet online. If you have ideas about ways to integrate current periodical use into the curriculum we would appreciate it. We have tried integrating an assignment into the freshman curriculum which includes students identifying five titles in their major. We also highlight titles on the web page - but I am not sure this has been terribly effective. Not only do we want to encourage use in the curriculum - but simply want to encourage students to browse in their free time between classes.
2. In preparation for the fall quarter - the library will be participating in an "academic integrity week" The Library's role will be to mainly highlight the importance of citation and to help students understand what plagiarism is. We are finding many undergraduates simply don't understand the importance of attribution. If you have good examples of education programs that have worked at your institution, we are interested. We are focusing on "real-world" examples.
thanks in advance for your suggestions.
