Library Liaison Meeting KSSPE

Meeting with Sheri Treadwell, KSSPE library coordinator
Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019

Met the new director.
She says everything is going well.  At the start of each semester in the KSSPE faculty meeting, she shows them how to order books and materials. They are all good at entering the information themselves (and they are).

Hasn't had any problems with the new system.
Primarily uses the KSSPE research guide and the databases recommended there. 
Doesn't hear too much from the exercise science folks, but I have worked with them in their research methods classes.  They do order materials.
Teaches an online-only class in the summer, may need help with that in the future.  I tried to explain the new role that LD plays, but that was a bit confusing.  We'll address it next year.  I will continue to update her with anything KSSPE-related. 
Appreciates the course reserves very much. 

New Programs:

--Strength and conditioning concentration (undergraduate)
--Coaching concentration being added to the Master's program (I think) 
--New Master in Athletic Training (this has been approved and is at the state level)

Library Liaison meeting

I met with the coordinator for THE/MUS/IAC today.

They would like more streaming resources, plus digital copies of scores. (gave examples of percussion and brass and orchestra scores used recently)
Definitely uses JSTOR
World music is one of their biggest classes with 140 students. (online and in person)
Music appreciation will be starting in the spring 2020.  

Emailed her the sites for the LibGuides, which she knew about but needed a reminder for their addresses. 

Teaches music in the elementary class (only pedagogy one right now).
Beginning recorder and piano are taught there. 

Making the Case for connections: Internationalization, Global Learning, and Courses

A faculty development workshop by Dr. Dawn Whitehead (AAC&U)

College students need to be prepared to work in a global context.  Employers are placing more emphasis on hiring candidates with global knowledge and experience. 70% say their company is globally connected.  

"Employers give students especially weak grades on key global learning outcomes: 
1. Problem-solving in diverse groups
2. Scientific literacy
3. Knowledge of global developments and trends
4. knowledge of cultures/societies outside the U.S.
5. Foreign Language proficiency "

1 in 3 international students studies in NY, CA, and TX.  10 % in NY.

IUPUI country information
IU ICCI 

Ways library can support internationalization:
Library Research Guide(s) -- background research
Library for information resources and research  help
Library and COIL classes partnerships
Encourage students to explore how knowledge is produced, distributed, and utilized globally.

ACE Model for comprehensive internationalization
 

Survival Story: Through the Eyes of Holocaust Survivor

Survival Story: Through the Eyes of Holocaust Survivor

11/19/19
A lecture by Holocaust survivor Samuel Rind
Wrote the book  "A Tribute to Mom, We Survived Together"
He was 2 1/2 when the war started, saw his own brother killed right in front of  him by the Nazis.  Spoke Yiddish, Polish, and Russian. 
He first went to a Ukranian concentration camp, then Auschwitz

"Family is very very important." The best way he can die is to teach others about his life.
You are nothing without family.
The world today is so sad.. why are we killing each other?
Stop being selfish . 
"The little letters after your name do not matter, it's what's on your heart."  
Be kind.

Racial Justice Training

Workshop training for racial justice
11/15/19

For this workshop, people of color, nonwhite, minority
Racial justice.. justice for all, subset of social justice
Race is a social construction.
Cognitivie dissonance: Some think that some people are not fully human!
Individual racism: when a person has conscious thoughts that one race is better than another
Ethnicity vs. race: Some use ethnicity as a shield, as in I am Irish not white.

Recommended youtube videos:
"how to tell someone they sound racist" 
 THAT sounded racist vs. You ARE racist 

"Race the house we live in" 

"Calling in Black"

iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids are growig up less rebellious, more tolerant, less happy -- and completely unprepared for adulthood

Book discussion on 11/8/2019

-Sometimes the authors' correlations did not equal causation

Need to remember that our students are adults, not children.
Let them be uncomfortable, sometimes

iGen -- still very important to have social interactions, but are they? 
(p. 90). They have less and less because they are on technology/social media.

iGen doesn't read as much... example of a prof. who gave an 8 popular press assignment, and the students complained about it!

Most important for my work:

Given how much iGen'ers learn online, one of the most important lessons is how to judge content.  .. .iGen'ers need to be taught about sources and evaluation."   gives examples of peer-reviewed vs. blog sources (p. 308).
 

Green Dot Training

I attended this training on 10/31/19.

"Green Dot is a national program we implement here at the College at Brockport; it is a bystander intervention program whose focus is preventing sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking."

We are trying to start a culture change here on campus; that process will take time.  Started with the President's cabinet and now faculty/staff.  Upper classmen will be trained in the spring semester.  

Similar to "Eagle Checkin" where you check in with folks to see how they are doing.

Three D's:
Direct
Delegate 
Distract

There are both proactive and reactive green dots.  We are trying to diffuse any of the red dots that appear on campus. 
More information can be found at : https://alteristic.org/services/green-dot/

Things for Faculty/Staff to do now:
Hang up posters in their offices/areas
Put a statement in their syllabi
Develop course assignments related to greendot topics
Use the language in conversations with students
Educate and read articles on the topic

Student Panel: Transfer Students in the Brockport Classroom

CELT workshop, 10/28/19

Things they appreciated: help with Degree Works and knowing what their schedules would look like.
Erin Rickman, and the ASC
One found the lack of diversity challenging here. 
Less flexibility then freshmen, they need to get right into their majors classes.

Ideas to reach them:

• All agreed email was best. (Social media doesn't work.)
• Have a faculty panel for students so they could ask questions.
• Throw an event for transfer students (they are not first-year students, although many assume they would go to those events.)
• If we have any ideas that we would like sent to all of them, send to Erin Rickman and she can make an announcement in Blackboard and/or send an email too.   Use this for activities too.
• Have a table at the union, always get people that way. 
• They are interested in departmental clubs, study abroad.
• Want to know how to get tutors, especially if in online classes.  We could use this to share how to get librarian help. 

Let them know they are not alone.  Show you care.
