Item An Annotated Bibliography of Faculty Mentoring of Undergraduate Research(Council on Undergraduate Research, 2005-12) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-This annotated bibliography is a guide to literature on faculty mentoring of independent undergraduate research. It consists of 30 entries, each with a descriptive annotation focusing on the publication’s potential use to researchers, practitioners, and program administrators. Five prefatory paragraphs summarize the literature.Item Assessment of User Response to IUPUI University Library: 1999-2003 Studies, Report to David Lewis of IUPUI University(2003-08-20) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-; Mackoy, RobertThis report describes an ongoing assessment of services at the IUPUI University Library. It is the first comprehensive assessment of University Library service, though several ad hoc surveys have been administered over the past several years. A few small surveys had been conducted, focusing on interlibrary loan services and computer workstation needs. A large study had examined users’ experiences with, and perceptions of, University Library services as they related to library instruction for a writing course. That study looked at patron expectations of, and satisfaction with, library services. Certain "drivers of satisfaction" were identified, but they could not necessarily be generalized to University Library patrons as a whole. The current study builds upon that research.Item Collaboration in Library Research(H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-; Mackoy, RobertCollaboration provides many opportunities and benefits to partners in library research, as well as to the library profession and literature. Through the application of diverse but complementary perspectives and skills, each partner plays an important role and makes a unique contribution to the whole enterprise. Research collaboration is a relationship and a process in which two or more persons work together to produce new knowledge. Ideally, each party contributes in various unique ways to the endeavor.Item Collaborative Repurposing of Existing Technology to Enhance Student-Directed Research(2012-11-08) Palmer, Kristi L.; Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-An educational team comprising instructor, subject librarian, and digital librarian collaborated to repurpose a digital collection content management system as a tool that solved a multitiered data-collection and analysis problem, enhanced student understanding of ethnographic data collection and description, and provided a means for openly distributing the final product of a community-rooted research project.Item Effects of Library Instruction on University Students' Satisfaction with the Library: A Longitudinal Study(Association of College & Research Libraries, 1998-07) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-; Mackoy, RobertConsideration of satisfaction should be an important part of the evaluation of library services. Satisfaction depends, to some extent, on patron expectations of services. This study evaluated changes in student expectations following library instruction and how they were related to overall, long-term satisfaction with the library. Satisfaction appeared to be related to student perceptions of information accessibility, staff competence and helpfulness, computer usefulness and ease of use, and skill level for using libraries. The study suggests that libraries may be well served by measuring patron satisfaction and learning what variables drive satisfaction at particular libraries.Item Improvisational Theater as a Tool for Enhancing Cooperation in Academic Libraries(Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), 2009-03) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-This paper examines the concept of improvisation and its potential role in fostering collaboration and teamwork in academic libraries. It explains basic principles of theatrical improvisation and discusses their practical value in organizational culture. The discussion draws from the literature of organizational improvisation to identify skills applicable to academic libraries and make recommendations for developing improvisational cultures within libraries. The author presented this paper at the 14th National Conference of the Association of College and Research Libraries in Seattle, Washington.Item An Integrated Approach to Teaching Research in a First-Year Seminar(Heldref Publications, 2000) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-This article discusses an approach to integrating library skills instruction into a first-year seminar. It presents an example from a unit on diversity, for which students conduct library research in preparation of term projects. Two class sessions center on information needs and skills associated with students’ projects, as well as general knowledge about university level library and information resources. Students learn about and model the early stages of research through structured brainstorming, small group activities, and role-playing.Item The Quarterly interview: Tony Stamatoplos(LOEX, 2011) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-This interview with Tony Stamatoplos focuses primary on the uses of improvisation in teaching information literacy. He comments briefly on his background and philosophy of teaching, and discusses some of the ways he uses improvisation to engage students, facilitate learning, and adapt to dynamic learning environments. He discusses how his use of improvisation is grounded in theatrical improvisation and draws from the scholarship of improvisation in disciplines such as psychology, education, and business.Item The Role of Academic Libraries in Mentored Undergraduate Research: A Model of Engagement in the Academic Community(Association of College & Research Libraries, 2009-05) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-Mentored undergraduate research is an emergent pedagogy in higher education. It differs fundamentally from course-related student research and is largely independent of the curriculum. Academic libraries should engage formally with the undergraduate research community. To do so, librarians will need to think and work beyond traditional models of library service, most notably in information literacy programs. The intent of this article is to raise awareness about opportunities for library involvement with undergraduate researchers and programs. Lessons from one university, including a formal partnership between a library and an undergraduate research center, suggest some general strategies that academic libraries might explore.
