Going online: Library support available through cuLearn



Here are some ways you can incorporate library-based research support in cuLearn as you teach the next three weeks online:

 1. Create a block and link to our Ask a Librarian virtual reference desk/chat service. Here's the link that you embed: https://library.carleton.ca/help.

 Encourage your students to use this service as it is available seven (7) days a week.

 2. Create a block that links to the subject guides (quick and detailed) for your discipline.

 3. I can meet with students individually via Big Blue Button. Here's an announcement you can send:

 Good morning (afternoon),
If you need research assistance during the last three weeks of term, please contact Interdisciplinary Studies Librarian Martha Attridge Bufton by email to book an online or telephone consultation. Martha's email is martha.attridgebufton@carleton.ca

 4. Here is a link to a research skills playlist that I have created: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRsqUluIyatKIqtQgjxEGa-QyYKwPdmVt I have created a number of instructional videos to help students do library-based research and these can be shared via cuLearn.

 Please reach out if you have any questions as to how I can support your online classroom. I am also able to help you link to library resources in cuLearn.

Shadowpox: Free online game about viruses and social distancing

Image
Shadowpox: #Stayathome is a free online game set in an immersive science fiction storyworld  and informed by real-world public health challenges.  Shadowpox : # StayHome Edition helps players visualize the impact of deciding to stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effect on their community if they do not. Read more . I am intrigued by this game ... it could be a very meaningful addition to any course that speaks to public health issues, social interactions, and/or free will. I can see it being integrated into a course (either a fully online course or eventually a blended learning course) and used as a starting point for discussion and reflection. I have created a link to the game on the Games: Studies and Development detailed subject guide (under the Find games section). Try it and let me know what you think: martha.attridgebufton@carleton.ca.

Mapping stereotypes

Image
Maps are powerful data visualization tools that can promote important conversations about a range of topics human settlements and watersheds to how we think about the world. Case in point: This World War I vintage map of Europe.   This map is currently on display in the Carleton University Library, along with other maps such as The world according to Americans (2009)  that capture human judgement and bias and other library materials that can be used to open up conversations about stereotyping and discrimination. The display continues to generate important conversations among students as well as between students and library staff. Here's a story about this exhibit: The world according to ... whom? Mapping stereotypes  which appears in the March issue of Open Shelf, the online magazine of the Ontario Library association.

Collections update: Move means temporary lack of access to some materials

Image
Due to the work being done to support the current collection move in the Library, the print serials, government documents, and microfilm located at the back of Level 1 are temporarily unavailable for browsing. However, if you need to access these items, we can still get them for you! If you need to access any print serials or government documents from this section, please request the article or volume through Omni. You will see a message that the items are not loanable, but you can still request either a digital copy of the article you are looking for or request the print copy from another library. If you need access to a larger portion of the print serials or government document collections, please contact Library Services in advance of your visit to the Library so that we can work out the best way for you to access the materials. If you need to access the microfilm or microfiche, please speak to someone at the Services Desk or contact Library Services prior to your visit. We will ret
