60. Research Question
“What impact (if any) does librarian intervention in first-year courses have on IL
performance in student work?”
Methodology
• First-Year Student Papers coded by Level of Librarian Collaboration in Course
• Rubric Evaluation (http://bit.ly/ccl-ilrubric) of papers
• 4 Liberal Arts College First-Year Seminar/ Experience programs > Claremont
McKenna College, Pitzer College, Pomona College, Scripps College (coded in
results for anonymity) ; Results from fifth college, Harvey Mudd, still being
coded
• 416 papers; 14 interrater pairs (Jan-May, 2014)
Collaboration Levels
1. None = no faculty collaboration with librarian
2. Low = Traditional One-Shot
3. Moderate = multiple sessions, moderate syllabus/assignment collaboration
4. High = multiple sessions, online tutorial & quiz, significant syllabus/
assignment collaboration
