Mentoring in Academic Libraries.
Tumbleson, Beth; Burke, John
The authors, who have each engaged in mentoring in higher education, surveyed academic librarians in 2017 on their mentoring experiences. Those findings are placed alongside best practices drawn from the literature to discover what motivates academic librarians to participate in mentoring and how it impacts them professionally and personally. Based on this evidence, the authors encourage colleagues to seek professional development through mentoring opportunities.

Make the Grade: Integrating Making into the Higher Education Curriculum

Makerspaces provide an avenue for individuals and groups to independently create
projects, learn how to use equipment, and tinker away. However, they can also be
used by students to complete making-related assignments for courses. How are
makerspaces being integrated into the curriculum in higher education?
This session will provide examples drawn from academic makerspace literature and
from individual makerspaces on how faculty members are including makerspaces
and making activities in their courses to meet learning objectives. Along with these
examples, methods that academic makerspaces can use to help faculty create
assignments and to support these activities will be identified. These may include
faculty learning communities, grants, and other instruction and encouragement aimed
at creating maker assignments.
Taking this one step further, the presentation will also seek to apply the set
of makerspace competencies defined by the University of Texas at Arlington
Libraries to assignments beyond the ones considered in their project. Can their
set of competencies be applied to those assignments, and does categorizing the
assignments by competencies shed light on what types of assignments faculty are
creating?
A final part of the presentation will examine literature and examples of makerspace
integration in the K-12 curriculum. Are there approaches used in this setting that
might be applied to higher education?
