Item First-year Student Source Evaluation: Methods, Misunderstandings, and Madness(2023-03-17) Barefoot, Maria; Cao, Yuqiao; Wallis, LaurenThis poster shares the results of a study about the source evaluation practices of first-year college students: how students describe source types and the criteria they apply when evaluating the usefulness and credibility of scholarly and popular sources. Results indicate that students relied on surface-level indicators. Student voices showed misconceptions about the creation of scholarly information, confusion around the peer review process, and difficulty identifying source types. Results help justify the need for librarians to work with faculty to develop lessons toward in-depth discussion of information creation, types of information designations, and evaluation strategies that go beyond a single source.Item Mapping Power and Privilege in Scholarly Conversations(Chicago, Illinois : Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association, 2016) Wallis, Lauren; Nicole Pagowsky; Kelly McElroyItem Representations of Slavery and Freedom: First Year Experience Historical Tour, 2017(University of Delaware Library, Museums & Press, 2017-09-18) Wallis, Lauren; Rye-Kopec, Ashley; Zehnder, Amanda; Small, Curtis; Johnston, Alex; Petersen, Stephen; Raser, KrisThis self-guided campus tour was offered from September 18 - October 20, 2017, in support of the First Year Common Reader, Colson Whitehead’s "The Underground Railroad."
