“…The presence of the CMS in our daily routines expanded by natural and unanticipated means. Similar experiences were reported by Turner (2017) and are perhaps best encapsulated by Cranston and Level (2006), who explain how from "a faculty workshop, a whole series of instruction sessions blossomed…proving even small steps can yield great strides" (pp. 20-21).…”

Librarians recognized an opportunity to grow the number of RefWorks users on campus and launched an initiative to more aggressively market the software. Barriers to growth were recognized, staff training was undertaken, and targeted services and programming were infused with more content centered on the citation management software (CMS). After a year and a half, the library assessed the popularity and impact of the program. While RefWorks is now much more widely used on campus, it has also led to additional instructional classes, workshops, and reference transactions. These additional and unanticipated benefits have greatly enhanced the reputation of the software among librarians. In addition, students, faculty, and university administrators have all responded positively to the results of the initiative, enhancing the reputation of the library on campus. Other academic libraries may benefit from a similar campaign based on their own subscription CMS.

“…Looking at the literature on library programing [27][28], and given the voluntary, incentive-free, no-credit nature of the Library Brain Booth, we established that the number of participants (n=240) demonstrated significant interest among college students. Exploring the potential time burden placed on students to learn outside of the classroom through a broader, critical examination of library offerings is warranted.…”

Abstract.A research study at a rural, public university revealed interest among college students in engaging in mindfulness and contemplative practices within their university library. This study also identified a gap between interest in contemplative pedagogy among faculty and their engagement in contemplative practices within this newly-created library space, The Library Brain Booth. This study shares the results of visits to the Library Brain Booth by both first-time and returning participants. It also provides mean usage time at each of the following stations which were created to support mindfulness and contemplation: biofeedback, color-relax, game-relax, lightrelax, read-relax, silent-relax, sound-relax, audio-meditate, prompt-meditate, videomeditate, gratitude-express, and virtual reality-immerse. The results of the study are intended to support the explicit promotion of metacognition and mindfulness in the academic process, both through mindfulness activities within the library for students, and through contemplative pedagogy in information literacy instruction.
