Technological Shifts in Academic Libraries

Academic libraries have always needed to be responsive to changes in emerging technology over time. Adopting or integrating new library technologies requires librarians to acquire and develop proficiency in new skills. In recent decades as academic libraries have continued to become ever more digitized, this has resulted in a growing need for librarians to gain new technological skills. This qualitative study will use focus groups of academic librarians to explore what current technological shifts academic librarians are experiencing, what skills are most needed to navigate those changes, and how academic librarians are gaining those new skills. This study aims to gain insight into current factors impacting technology in academic library contexts like the continued impacts of Covid-19 and AI, factors unaccounted for in the existing literature. The results of this study will be of interest to current and future academic librarians, library administrators, and LIS educators.

Human Centered Design Evaluation of OBGYN Resident Teacher Training

The purpose of this study is to improve the teaching training and teaching support OB/GYN residents receive during their residency. We will use a human-centered design (HCD) approach to create a UNC OB/GYN specific curriculum for resident teaching. The first phase of this project, the Inspiration Phase, gathers information about the current reality of resident teaching. Using this information we will eventually create and implement an effective resident-as-teacher curriculum for OB/GYN residents at UNC.

Department of Defense Family Moral, Wellness, and Recreation (MWR) librariy programs

The purpose of this research study is to explore the ways in which Family Moral, Wellness, and Recreation (MWR) libraries achieve the mission of MWR services by examining libraries in context of creating resiliency in their member communities through their diverse library programs and services. Library programs are currently a popular research field in Information and Library Science (ILS), but little research has looked explicitly at MWR library programming, and how those programs are created for their user community, the military population, making this topic an area of interest in the ILS field. Understanding how MWR libraries utilize their programming to meet the mission of MWR will create opportunities for future research and assessment of library programs and their impact on resiliency outcomes in the military community.
