Objectives
LOEX 2014
3
Exploring the comparison between the writing & research processes
Discussing the role of librarians in the writing process
Identifying teaching strategies that reflect both processes
Offering resources for future learning

Think, Pair, Share
LOEX 2014
4
Turn to your neighbor, introduce yourself, and for three minutes brainstorm about where the writing and research processes intersect.
Think about your own processes in terms of time and steps involved.

Which part of the writing process do you think librarians spend the most time in library instruction or at the reference desk?

Misconceptions
LOEX 2014
11
What might be some misconceptions about the writing
and research processes? How do misconceptions affect
the work that occurs between academic faculty and
librarians?
![Page 12: Information Literacy at the Crossroads: The Convergence between the Research & Writing Processes](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681613d550346895dd0a2e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Misconceptions
LOEX 2014
12
Understanding the complexity of the research process as a subset of the writing process helps librarians understand: 1) Skills that are developed over time are not
learned in a linear fashion but a recursive fashion
2) Expectations of learning transfer thus will change

Librarians and Academic Faculty/Writing Instructors

Strategies for Library Instruction
LOEX 2014
14
Collaborating with academic facultyAdopting a “process” approach to teaching
research similar to how writing is taughtScaffolding both writing and research
within course management systems
![Page 15: Information Literacy at the Crossroads: The Convergence between the Research & Writing Processes](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681613d550346895dd0a2e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Embedded-ness to Teach Process Over Product
LOEX 2014
15
“Flipping” instruction using tutorials, webcasts, or videos in course management systems to teach the basics.
Using valuable class time to explore topics, set up a search plan, identify resources based on topics, and get students started on projects.
Using course management systems to insert content to help students after instruction is conducted.
![Page 16: Information Literacy at the Crossroads: The Convergence between the Research & Writing Processes](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5681613d550346895dd0a2e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Spending More Time with Students on Topic Selection
LOEX 2014
16
Teaching students how to identify topics that are too narrow, too broad, and “just right” for assignments.
Help students brainstorm topics for assignments
Analyze student-selected topics in classHelp students set up a search plan/concept
mapping based on their topics before searching the literature (pre-searching similar to prewriting)
