Overview
Collaborative Analysis Liaison Librarians (CALL)
The CALL Project developed librarians with skills to be active participants in the research process rather than just supporters. By working directly with science professionals and researchers, the students gained real-world experience. The grant amount was $883,034.
Geographic Information Librarianship (GIL)
The GIL Project formally integrate Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into library and information science (LIS) curricula. The project created two online courses, Geospatial Technologies and Spatial Data Management, validated core compentenices for these types of librarians to inform the curricula, and increased GIS related research in LIS. The grant amount was $345,270.
Course Development
Several of the courses taught were developed using systematic job analyses to inform student learning outcomes with real-world job incumbents. These are a few of the publications.
- Earth Science Data Management: Mapping Actual Tasks to Conceptual Actions in the Curation Lifecycle Model
- Collaborative Development and Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes for LIS Electives
- Job Analyses of Emerging Information Professions: A Survey Validation of Core Competencies to Inform Curricula
- Digital Curation and the GeoWeb: An Emerging Role of Geographic Information Librarians (GILs)
