Podcasting Pilot Project
• Objective: Determine feasibility of delivering library instruction to students via audio/video podcast
Podcasting Pilot Project
• Study Group:– Voluntary participation of students in 5 sections of
NURS 505 (n = 43 graduate students)• Methods:
– Initial survey of nursing faculty to identify research expectations
– Create instruction podcasts – 60% attend face-to-face library instruction session– 40% offered online module complement only– Evaluation tool administered to both groups at end of
semester – Survey of participating students
Nursing Faculty Survey Responses
• How do you expect your students to learn to effectively utilize library resources and services?
72% Arrange library instruction session
36% I (instructor) point them to certain library resources
27% Refer students to hospital library
18% I (instructor) guide students in class - satisfactory
9% Not applicable to my class
9% Expect students to get basics at orientation
0Library is fairly intuitive and I expect students to figure out as part of learning experience
Nursing Faculty Survey Responses
• If you teach primarily graduate students, please rate the average library skill level of your students as they begin the term
0 Very high
45% Adept enough to figure it out on their own
54% Struggling but ask for help
0 Struggling but don’t ask for help
0 Too low to be successful in the class
Nursing Faculty Survey Responses
• In terms of library skills, what do you feel is important for your students to know in order to be successful in their coursework? 100% Searching databases such as Cinahl and Cochrane
90%Determining the difference between peer-reviewed and non-scholarly material
90% Evaluating websites
81% Tracking down the full-text of an article
81% Citing sources appropriately in APA format
72% Using Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad)
18% Differentiating a systematic review from an overview article

• “I believe that the podcast is beneficial to many students and should be an option”
• “Library session was very helpful. I learn the most with in class instruction.”
• “I enjoyed many aspects of the in-class session, but being able to access online refreshers would be helpful to address specific issues during independent study time.
If brief, problem-specific tutorials were available for common research related issues, I would probably access them.”
Questions / Suggestions?
Thoughts on podcasting
• Assist students with making the transition from the recreational use of technology to academic use of technology
Net Gen Students: Learning, Technology and Libraries
Joan K. Lippincott, Coalition for Networked Information
JISC/CNI Conference, July 7, 2006
• Maybe academics need to get up to speed on the recreational use of technology
