Imagine No Possessions: Plagiarism, The Net Generation Student, and the Academic Librarian

The increasing presence of plagiarism and its seemingly irresistible lure in scholarly research has clashed with deficient, outdated academic library policies, and the result has been detrimental to higher education and academic integrity.  Once immune from the ills of plagiarism, academic librarians now must take direct involvement to stem the tide of academic dishonesty.  Cultural change brought from the Net Generation student is now forcing information literacy programs -- especially for librarians who conduct bibliographic instruction -- to include plagiarism and the ethical use of primary and secondary research materials in their instructional sessions.

Moderator: Ma Lei Hsieh, Rider University

Presenter:  George Germek, Monmouth University

Scheduled date and time:  Tue., April 28 at 9:00 am

Presenters: Dr. Robin Solbach and Barbara Herbert, Georgian Court College

College Students as Wikipedia Authors

Is there a role for Wikipedia in undergraduate library instruction?  A the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Wikipedia provided the basis for an assignment that resulted in a constructivist learning experience that integrated research, writing, and presentation skills.  A collaborative teaching approach produced a rubric to evaluate student work and refine the curriculum assignment, and this presentation will describe the process, pedagogy, and outcomes.  This presentation aims to suggest a new approach to the incorporation of Web 2.0 technology into information literacy instruction.

Are We Half-Way on the Long Road Towards Subject Guide 2.0?

What are subject guides 2.0?  In contrast to 1.0 subject guides, Library 2.0 subject guides are created with Web 2.0 technologies and support many advanced features such as two-way RSS feed, search box, browsing capability, interactivity, collaboration, tag cloud, social bookmarking, and statistics reporting.  In addition, 2.0 subject guides are multi-media, multi-format, and database-driven.  This presentation will discuss these new features in detail with demos and examples.  There will be a review of the technological tools used in creating 2.0 subject guides, followed by an evaluation on how much 2.0 those tools can provide.

Moderator: Denise O'Shea, Fairleigh Dickinson University

Presenter: Sharon Yang, Rider University

Future Reference Visions

Through increasingly sophisticated chat tools and services, full immersion in virtual worlds, board slamming, application embedding on toolbars or in courseware, and a variety of other means, reference librarians are working hard to make their high-touch presence felt and valued in a high-tech information world.  What future should we build for reference services, and how might we chart our course?  Our distinguished panel will address these questions and invite your thoughts.  Bring your compass!
