Item Empowering Students and Faculty With Citation Justice Practice(2022-05-11) Coalter, JodiIn this session, you will discuss power dynamics within citation practice, and work to create a practice that uplifts voices traditionally marginalized within predominantly white institutions (PWI). By the end of the session, you will be able to identify opportunities to teach critical citation practice within your classroom, locate and use diverse voices within your field, identify tools to help organize your citation justice practice, and understand how the University Libraries can support you in this task.Item Equitable from the Beginning: Incorporating Critical Perspectives into Your Research Design(2021-06-03) Coalter, Jodi; Durden, David; Dunewood, LeighA research data management (RDM) education diet is calorie-dense with technical and regulatory macronutrients, but often lacks essential micronutrients such as equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. As part of a broader effort to improve the data management diets of undergraduate Gemstone Honors research teams at the University of Maryland, College Park. The authors created a series of instructional modules on equitable data collection and research design practices. These modules enable researchers to assess the impact of their data across the research lifecycle, and widen their perspectives of data collection and analysis processes to consider implicit and transparent ethical, diversity, equity, and inclusion values at all stages of RDM.Item Research Support Services in STEM Libraries: A Scoping Review(University of Alberta Libraries, 2021-05-07) Tchangalova, Nedelina; Coalter, Jodi; Trost, Amy; Pierdinock, AmberAs science and technology libraries continue to evolve, specialized research support services are developed and offered at academic institutions or research organizations. Making sense of this changing landscape and determining the best programs for an institution can be a daunting task, especially for early-career librarians. This article aims to provide an overview of various small to medium size non-traditional or specialized research support services in academic and special libraries serving Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. A systematic search of five databases was conducted for articles that described the development and implementation of research support services. Non-traditional or specialized research support services identified in this scoping review fall in the following areas: bibliometrics/altmetrics, data management services, geographic information systems, patents, and systematic reviews. The paper provides a detailed foundation for novice and experienced STEM librarians to offer innovative library services or enhance existing research support services.Item Systematic Review Task Force Report(2020-01) Coalter, Jodi; Gammons, Rachel; Over, Sarah; Ritchie, Stephanie; Tchangalova, NedelinaIn today’s busy research university library, many advanced level researchers need specialized research support. Literature review workshops have been very popular at the UMD Libraries in the last couple of years. Systematic reviews, originally relevant for research in medical research, are a type of literature review that is getting increasingly commonly used in all other sciences where data are collected and published in the literature. UMD Libraries evaluated the feasibility of offering Systematic Review services to the UMD community and beyond. In this report, short and long term recommendations are provided to enhance the service.Item Teaching Critical Citation: Empowering Students and Researchers Through Citation Practice(2021-06-03) Coalter, Jodi; Wilson, SuzyTeaching robust citation practice is a core responsibility in many librarian jobs. But citation can be another tool that is used to keep traditionally marginalized populations sidelined or out of academia altogether. Thinking critically about citation practice can help researchers tear down this traditional system of oppression. Two librarians at the University of Maryland worked together to create a critical citation module that helps beginning researchers and first year students think critically about their citation practice. By illustrating the value of citation, students are encouraged to see themselves as part of the scholarly conversation and seriously consider the voices and perspectives they have chosen to elevate through their citations. This module empowers students to see themselves as agents of change using simple tips and citation tricks. In this presentation, we provide context for why critical citation is important, present the components of the module, and describe future steps.Item Using data visualization tools to design a search strategy for a systematic review(2019-06-11) Coalter, Jodi; Tchangalova, Nedelina; Trost, AmyThe aim of this study is to survey various research support models to address the following question: What unique research support practices are being successfully used by STEM academic libraries? The results of our investigation will help inform future programming and services for best practices in STEM libraries serving academic institutions. To answer this question, a comprehensive search of the literature is necessary to capture all relevant studies. The poster will explore the development of key words and phrases used to search databases, grey literature, and STEM libraries' websites. Text mining and data visualization tools are used to identify terms during an initial environmental scan of the literature. Tools may include Voyant, Tableau, Pajek, Gephi, and R. Preliminary results will be shared, including problems encountered and successful data visualization techniques, as well as next steps for completing this project.Item When Safe Is Not Enough: Creating Brave Spaces at the Libraries(2020-06-09) Akbar-Williams, Tahirah; Blake, Benjamin; Chisholm-Edwards, Nneka; Coalter, Jodi; Floyd, Joni; Frank, Cynthia; Frau-Cortes, Neil; Hemsley, Erica; Hesler, Sarah; Tchangalova, NedelinaWith the Black History Month Read-a-Thon in February 2020, the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Committee launched its new Brave Spaces program. Based on the Brave Spaces principles laid out by Brian Arao and Kristi Clemens in their work “From Safe Spaces to Brave Spaces,”1 and as an extension of last year’s Safe Space program developed for the Libraries, Brave Spaces are designed to encourage challenging conversations around principles of “IDEA”. The Committee recognizes that tolerance is not enough, that as Library employees we need to move into affirmation and action.Item Working Across Disciplines and Library Units to Develop a Suite of Systematic Review Services for Researchers(Collaborative Librarianship, 2020-02-21) Tchangalova, Nedelina; Harrington, Eileen G.; Ritchie, Stephanie; Over, Sarah; Coalter, JodiSince their inception in the health sciences field, systematic reviews have expanded into many other sub-ject disciplines. To address this growing need, subject librarians at the University of Maryland Libraries collaborated on a pilot program in three phases to introduce researchers to the process of conducting sys-tematic and scoping reviews. This article describes the design and development of a workshop series based on participant feedback. Assessment and evaluation techniques are shared to encourage further refinement of the systematic review service.
