- 2. Things to say • Catalyst for changed teaching • Why we like it • Yes, but …. • Where are we going? http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajourneyroundmyskull/4788590225/
- 3. The teaching challenge Move from “ …lifting and transporting textual substance from one location, the library, to another, their teacher’s briefcases.” To “..searching, analyzing, evaluating, synthesizing, selecting, rejecting…” Kleine (1987)
- 4. Inspiration • Less is more • Cloning • Discussion • Learning by doing • Learners, not the taught http://advedupsyfall09.wikispaces.com/Sara+Woodard Chen and Lin (2011), Markless (2010)
- 5. Our approach • Problem based • Interaction & exploration • Skills not techniques • Fun Deep Learning Diekema et al (2011), Wang (2007)
- 6. Context • Thinking about resources • Keywords • Summon hands on • Evaluation
- 7. Thinking about keywords http://www.flickr.com/photos/rossjamesparker/89414788/

- 9. Summon is… • Easy to use • Refining tools • Reference generating • Learn by doing “That is so well sick man, innit!”
- 10. Almost total recall Search tools Attendees Non-attendees used Google 68% 63% Wikipedia 38% 27% Summon 68% 40% Library catalogue 30% 59% Smith, Edwards (2012)
- 11. But… • Not everything indexed • Fails to link • Duplicate entries
- 13. Downside • Business team don’t use Summon – Business Source Complete – Failure rate – No Keynote • Creates doubt – Students unimpressed – Librarians worry
- 14. Solutions • Normalisation • Indexing • EBSCO – Demote – Alternatives? – But collections good… – Buy EDS?
- 15. Where is this leading? • Customer needs • Rivalry kills discovery tools? • Google cleans up? • Could do better • JIBS & JISC role
- 16. Conclusions • Changed our teaching • Not perfect • Could be excellent
