The Library According to Mary

This blog is about my experiences in the Educational Technology Ed.D program at the University of Florida. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments. My interests include the intersection of libraries, education, and technology and their effect on distance education. I'm also exploring the concept of multiple literacies, including how media, visual, and information literacy relate and the implications for libraries.

Positioning Yourself in the Field Assignment -- Part 1

Topic:
As a broad topic, I am examining the assessment of instruction in higher education. Within this broad topic, I am reviewing assessment of distance education and assessment of library instruction (both traditional and online). I hope to use the literature to make some comparisons between assessment of library instruction, assessment of general instruction, assessment of traditional instruction, and assessment of online instruction.

Literature Review:


Databases/Indexes Searched:
ERIC (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts version)
PsycInfo
Web of Science (Social Science Citation Index)

Databases/Indexes To Be Searched:
Library Literature and Information Science Full Text
Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA)

I took detailed notes on my search strategies including search terms, subject headings, and search statements. I considered posting all of the above, but in the end decided not to bore everyone because I'm betting only librarian types would care. I think it's pretty interesting, but I'm strange like that...If you want to see the details, please let me know and I'll gladly share.

Results: 68 items total, 66 peer reviewed journal articles and 2 books. I'll update the search results when I finishing searching the remaining databases/indexes.
