Sara; Maxson, Bronwen K.; Stone, Sean M.; Miller, Willie; Snajdr, Eric; Hanna, Kathleen A.Item Campus and community connections: The evolving IUPUI Common Theme Project(Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities http://www.cumuonline.org/journal/mujAbstracts.aspx, 2013) Hanna, Kathleen A.In 2009, IUPUI launched the Common Theme Project, designed to “promote campus unity, conversation, and collaboration on timely issues that connect IUPUI to central Indiana and the world.” This paper briefly discusses the evolution of the Common Theme Project, from its roots as a freshman common reader to the current campus focus on social entrepreneurship, strategies that increased campus and community interest, and our goal to move from “project” status to a campus initiative that will enhance IUPUI’s commitment to outreach and engagement.Item Change Your World: The Power of New Ideas(Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2011-04-08) Hanna, Kathleen A.; Howe, Elijah C.The IUPUI Common Theme Project grew out of an initiative by University College and is designed to promote campus unity, conversation, and collaboration across all disciplines on timely issues that connect IUPUI to central Indiana and the world. This Common Theme enables us to recognize and celebrate our successes as a campus as well as challenge ourselves to find new ways to make an impact in our community. It will introduce the campus and community to local social entrepreneurs who are willing to share their stories and engage students, faculty, and staff in events and activities that will encourage thought, debate, research, and innovation. This multidisciplinary theme presents many opportunities for cross-campus research, interaction with international students and faculty, and expanding study abroad programs. It generates myriad ways to incorporate service and experiential learning at the campus, community, or global level by building on current partnerships and establishing new ones that will evolve beyond IUPUI. Our greatest strengths are our highly diverse and creative population, broad range of disciplines and partnerships, and access to resources, which make IUPUI uniquely situated to engage in a Common Theme that has the potential to affect social change both great and small, locally and globally, giving everyone the potential to truly be a changemaker.Item L135 : Where to find it @ University Library(2005-12-22T19:11:18Z) Hanna, Kathleen A.Item A Picture is Worth 150 Words: Using Wordle to Assess Library Instruction(Pierian Press, 2011) Huisman, Rhonda K.; Hanna, Kathleen A.Making library instruction interactive and engaging is no easy feat, and assessment of the standard one-shot visit can be difficult. Librarians need a simple and fast method for evaluation of learning. The one-minute paper is an effective way to generate immediate feedback from students, but student responses often consist of “everything seemed clear” or other vague statements. We decided to try to repurpose this widely-used technique by incorporating a visual imagery tool. Wordle (http://www.wordle.net) offered an active and entertaining method for soliciting responses from students and assessing what they learned during library instruction sessions by the creation of word clouds.Item Search Query Sea Change: Is it Time to Transform the Way We Teach Boolean?(2017-03) Hanna, Kathleen A.; Lowe, M. Sara; Maxson, Bronwen K.; Miller, Willie; Snajdr, Eric; Stone, Sean M.Are searches that use Boolean operators better than natural language (phrase) searches? Librarians are led to believe this by common practice in reference and instruction; yet, a study of the efficacy of Boolean searches reveals a sea change, especially in first-year instruction. This poster will highlight results of a study, which compared simple Boolean search queries versus natural language searches in eight popular databases.Item Steps to Research Skills: Polish Your Skills(2005-12-22T19:23:30Z) Hanna, Kathleen A.Item Steps to Research Skills: Your Ideal Job(2005-12-22T19:18:57Z) Hanna, Kathleen A.Item STOMP: STudents Organized to Motivate for Phitness(Library Partners of the Indianapolis Foundation, 2005-10) Hanna, Kathleen A.
