Academic libraries in higher education and research
1. Academic Libraries in Higher Education
and Research: Emerging trends and
challenges
Dr. H. Anil Kumar
Librarian, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad
7. • Students who study by themselves for more hours each week
gain more knowledge -- while those who spend more time
studying in peer groups see diminishing gains.
• Students whose classes reflect high expectations (more than
40 pages of reading a week and more than 20 pages of writing
a semester) gained more than other students.
• Students who spend more time in fraternities and sororities
show smaller gains than other students.
• Students who engage in off-campus or extracurricular
activities (including clubs and volunteer opportunities) have
no notable gains or losses in learning.
• Students majoring in liberal arts fields see "significantly higher
gains in critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing skills
over time than students in other fields of study." Students
majoring in business, education, social work and
communications showed the smallest gains. (The authors note
that this could be more a reflection of more-demanding
reading and writing assignments, on average, in the liberal arts
courses than of the substance of the material).
8. • Google is deskilling information literacy skills
• Facebook is deskilling interpersonal skills
• Internet: Attention span reducing
• No distinction between first year and final year students project
reports
• how the printed book served to focus our attention,
promoting deep and creative thought.
• Internet encourages the rapid, distracted sampling of small
bits of information from many sources
• Scrolling and skimming vs Reading
• Jet skiing vs scuba diving
9. “Preliminary research suggests that
even the so-called digital natives
are more likely to recall the gist of a
story when they read it on paper
because enhanced e-books and e-
readers themselves are too
distracting. Paper’s greatest
strength may be its simplicity.”
26. What Libraries Can (Still) Do by James Gleick
(http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2015/oct/26/what-libraries-can-
still-do-bibliotech/):
• “In his new book, BiblioTech, a wise and passionate manifesto, John
Palfrey reminds us that the library is the last free space for the
gathering and sharing of knowledge: “Our attention cannot be bought
and sold in a library.”
• For one thing, as Palfrey says, librarians will need to cherish their
special talent as “stewards” while letting go of the instinct to be
“collectors.” “
27. Why go beyond formal methods?
• The 95 Percent Solution: School is not where most Americans learn most
of their science by John H. Falk and Lynn D. Dierking
• Recent findings challenge the longstanding belief that the place for
science knowledge acquisition is the classroom.
• International comparisons of trends in science knowledge over lifetimes
suggests that much if not most science knowledge is acquired outside of
school.
