    Evidence Synthesis: Coming Soon to a Library Near You?
    (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2022-04) Slebodnik, Maribeth; Stern Cahoy, Ellysa; Jacobsen, Anna Liss
    This article provides background information about evidence synthesis, the process of collecting, evaluating, and summarizing results from multiple studies that have investigated the same research question. The article also examines the critical role of librarians in conducting evidence synthesis, and examines the accelerating uptake of systematic reviews and other types of evidence synthesis outside the health sciences. It includes perspectives from two academic libraries and discusses implications of the boom in evidence synthesis that libraries may want to consider.

    Impact of Innovative Technology-Related Interventions on K–12 Students' STEM Career-Related Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis
    (American Educational Research Association (AERA), 2022-04-21) Li, Yue; Dixon, Maressa; Jacobsen, Anna Liss; Maltbie, Anna; Woodruff, Sarah
    This meta-analysis study reviews and synthesizes research and evaluation findings demonstrating the effects of integrating innovative technologies and technology-based learning experiences in STEM education on K-12 students’ STEM career-related outcomes. This study synthesizes a body of research from 1995 to the present, across characteristics of technology-based STEM education interventions, learning contexts, student demographics, and study designs. This study develops an understanding of the extent to which the effects of technology-based STEM education interventions are different for students who are traditionally underserved and underrepresented in STEM education. Findings suggest such interventions have small, positive effects on students’ STEM career outcomes. Interventions serving underrepresented students had larger influences on students’ career outcomes than those serving general student populations.

    Integrating innovating technology into STEM learning: Preliminary findings from a Meta-Analysis on K-12 students’ STEM career interests
    (2023-10-19) Li, Yue; Dixon, Maressa; Qi, Kunting; Jacobsen, Anna Liss; Woodruff, Sarah
    This paper presents preliminary findings from a meta-analysis study that reviews and synthesizes studies related to the effects of innovative technology-related learning experiences in formal and informal K-12 STEM education on students’ STEM career-related outcomes. This meta-analysis synthesizes a body of research from 1995 to the present, across characteristics of technology-based STEM education interventions, learning contexts, student demographics, and study designs. Findings presented in this paper describe the characteristics of these innovative technology-related educational interventions, including intervention content, format, and setting, as well as their collective impact on students’ STEM career aspirations. Variables examined also include whether an intervention aimed at serving students from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented and underserved in STEM education and whether an intervention has an explicit career-exploration component. This paper sheds light on the diverse landscape of technology-related STEM education, offering valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers striving to enhance students' pursuit of STEM careers.

    Integration of the 5A’s Framework in Research on Obesity and Weight Counseling: Systematic Review of Literature
    (Sage, 2024-12-09) Shieh, Carol; Hardin, Heather K.; Doerstler, Mandelle Dreu; Jacobsen, Anna Liss; School of Nursing
    The 5A's Framework (Assess, Advise, Assist, Agree, and Arrange) has been recommended as a practice guide for obesity counseling. Its integration in research, however, is not well known. This systematic review was to find how the 5A's Framework was integrated in research on obesity and weight counseling. Methods: A systematic search of four databases was conducted combining two concepts: "5 A's Framework" and "obesity, body size, dieting/eating, exercise, weight loss." Inclusion criteria were quantitative studies with the 5A's Framework as a singular intervention or combined with others to influence patients' healthy eating, physical activity, and weight outcomes or care providers' counseling behaviors. Twenty-two studies were included in the final analysis. Results: Most studies were conducted in the primary care setting. The 5A's Framework was (1) integrated in training interventions as formal medical curricular and on-the-job education workshops to influence obesity/weight counseling skills, (2) utilized to develop assessment tools to evaluate counseling behaviors, and (3) combined with behavior change strategies to impact the patient's weight management behaviors and outcomes. Conclusion: The integration of the 5A's Framework in obesity and weight counseling research is wide-ranging. The findings have implications for clinicians to use the framework to better obesity/weight counseling.

    Moving to mediated: Making a new workflow for streaming video access
    (2021-06-04) Calabrese, Cara; Jacobsen, Anna Liss
    This presentation describes the University Libraries move from a PDA to a mediated model with Kanopy. This move was necessary due to continually increasing expenditures that outpacing their budgets. Having previously been through a similar transition, the Acquisitions & Access Librarian developed the initial workflow procedures. Communication played a vital role in creating a smooth transition. A core group of collection development liaison librarians were given the first draft of the mediated workflow procedures to review. Feedback was solicited, communicated via multiple modes, and incorporated into a revised set of workflows aimed at different audiences. Finally, information was communicated to university stakeholders. During this presentation, the Acquisitions & Access Librarian and the Head of Social Sciences Collection Development Working Group will discuss the development and implementation of the revised mediated workflow procedures. Topics covered include rationale for the transition, an outline of steps taken, and adjustments made after the implementation of new workflow procedures. Preliminary assessment of the first six months of data and anecdotal feedback will also be shared along with lessons learned and any planned updates for the procedure or streaming video.

    State of AI for Use at University Library
    (2024-11-04) Ameen, Mahasin; Buck, Aaron; Coates, Heather; Dill, Emily; Durbin, John; Jacobsen, Anna Liss; Maixner, Gary; Smith, Andy
    The University Library (UL) AI Interest group was created for the purpose of exploring how AI could be used internally and beneficially by UL staff. After a yearlong exploration and discovery process, the group presents the following findings. AI is still a maturing technology, and as such the findings in this report, especially the specific tools discussed, will be changing rapidly. The overall use cases will continue to be relevant into the future.
