The assigned readings
Read to understand the gist of the articles. Try to understand the core concepts. Why the heck did I assign that reading?There is no need to memorize the minutiae, but you still need to read more than just the abstract.I will try to have everything available through Blackboard or some other e-source.
The assigned readings
For next weekThe Face of 21st Century Physical Science Librarianship, Science & Technology Libraries, Volume 26, Issue 2 December 2005, pages 71-90, Lina Ortega and Cecelia M. Brown. ortega.pdf is also in Blackboard. The education and training needs of health librarians—the generalist versus specialist dilemma, Tatjana Petrinic and Christine Urquhart, Health Information & Libraries Journal, Volume 24 Issue 3, Pages 167-176. Subject Knowledge in the Health Sciences Library, J Med Libr Assoc. 2005 October; 93(4): 459–466. Digital Libraries and Multi-Disciplinary Research SkillsPlease read the intro and the section dealing with scholarly communication.
The assignments
Some questions will have clues that are not 100% correct.Some patrons won’t know the title of the article, title of the journal, correct spelling of the author name, etc.With some patrons, they might want a comprehensive search on a specific topic to find nothing. (Dissertation or patentability)
Combination of print and electronic resources. First assignment is about 50/50. Assignments 2-6 will more electronic than print, about a 70/30 split.
More about the assignmentsPlease put the print reference materials back on the shelf after use, and log out of the electronic databases when you are done (if possible). Please let me know if you have difficulty finding something.Cut-n-paste is ok, or have good hand writing.I'd like to know the title of the source used, the volume number and the page number(s) used. [I don’t need an annotation.]Please use the given sources. Wikipedia is not an answer for the assignments.
