Faculty Survey:
Over the past year, in these pages we've passed on helpful tips, made announcement about new services and initiatives, and informed you of new materials in the library. We hope you've found the updates useful and relevant.
Now it's your turn! We want to know what you think — about Faculty Lines, about library services and collections, and about anything else related to the Rosen Library. Please take just 10-15 minutes out of your busy schedule to complete our survey below. This is the first time we've systematically surveyed Rosen College faculty about the library, and it is important that we hear from everyone. Your responses will be taken into consideration as we plan for the future.

Tutorials Update:
The implementation of the new Rosen Library Tutorials — a set of self-paced, asynchronous tutorials and accompanying quizzes designed to teach Rosen College students the basics of conducting library research — has been very successful. The Tutorials have been used with ten different courses so far, and we hope to increase that number in future semesters. We are already planning ways to improve the Tutorials further and to increase participation. If you would like to talk to us about using a Tutorial with a course next semester, please come see us or contact us at rosenlib@mail.ucf.edu
Horovitz Foundation Gift
As you know, Dr. Jeff Horovitz and the Horovitz Family Foundation generously donated $3000 to the Rosen Library, to be used for the purchase of materials in a wide variety of subject areas. Most of these materials have already arrived and are available for checkout, while the remainder will be arriving soon. Come see our New Books display in the center of the Library, or get a preview of some of the new books by viewing our Rosen Blog Story A Gift to Rosen Students.

News & Notes...
Changes to APA Style:
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association — the basis for APA citation style — has just come out in a full 6th edition (2010). This new 6th edition supersedes all previous editions of APA, including both the 5th edition (2001) and the APA Style Guide to Electronic References (2007) addendum that many of you are familiar with.
On the one hand, most of the major changes were already hinted at or incorporated into the APA Style Guide to Electronic References (2007) addendum — and those changes had already been incorporated into our APA Citation Style research guide (the "pink sheet") that many of you are so familiar with — changes such as using DOIs with peer-reviewed article citations. On the other hand, (in our opinion) the new Manual introduces additional confusion into the citing of journal articles without DOIs, lacks examples for some very common source types (such as a standard webpage or wiki), and is generally every bit as odd and capricious as its predecessors. Caveat citer!
All that said, the bottom line is that APA citation style has been updated. And, accordingly, our APA Citation Style research guide, in both its electronic and print ("pink sheet") forms, has been completely updated. The URL has not changed for the electronic version, so you can continue linking to the same URL as in the past. And you and your students can continue using that webpage or the print "pink sheet" as a first point of reference on APA style. We also have two copies of the new Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed., 2010) in the Rosen Library, should you or your students need to consult the full Manual.
Over the Break...
During the break between Summer and Fall semesters, we were busy improving library services! First, we rolled out our new webpage design: surf over to the Rosen Library homepage, if you haven't been there recently. We also added ten new computers to the library, increasing our capacity by nearly 50%! This has been a popular addition, as all of the PCs (both the new and the old) are frequently in use.

News & Notes...
New Library Instruction Initiative:
Last month I mentioned our work on a set of self-paced, asynchronous Research Tutorials and Quizzes. These Tutorials are being developed in many different subject areas, with the goal of ensuring that Rosen College students gain a firm understanding of basic library research skills.
We plan to complete the Tutorials before the beginning of Fall term, and we hope that many of you will be interested in assigning a Tutorial to one or more of your courses and counting the accompanying Quiz as a graded assignment. We believe that in many cases this new approach, which will require students to practice the skills and demonstrate proficiency, will promote student learning more than the traditional library instruction lecture session.
We actually plan to do some limited "beta" testing of these Tutorials in Summer B term. If you are teaching a Summer B course that requires research and are interested in being a part of the test, please fill out our Instruction Request Form and we will be in touch shortly.
We will provide more details on the full release of the Tutorials as the Fall semester approaches.
Website Facelift:
Coming to a browser near you... Before the start of the Fall semester, the UCF Libraries, including the Rosen Library, will be rolling out a new website. The new design will be more aesthetically pleasing and allow for the incorporation of more current web technologies and standards.

"In Summer, the song sings itself."-- William Carlos Williams
News & Notes...
Major New Library Instruction Initiative:
One of our goals is to ensure that Rosen College students acquire proficiency in Information Literacy: the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information effectively and ethically. To that end, this Summer we will be developing a set of self-paced, asynchronous Research Tutorials and accompanying Quizzes. The Tutorials will cover all the basics of doing research at the Rosen Library: how to locate a book in the Catalog, how to retrieve an article in a database, how to cite a source in APA style, and so on. The Quizzes, of course, will test the students' comprehension of the material. As we put the finishing touches on these Tutorials, I will be touch with many of you in group or individual settings, encouraging you to assign an appropriate Tutorial to your students and to count the accompanying Quiz as a graded assignment. By doing so, you can rest assured that your students will know how to conduct basic library research for their papers and projects. More details coming soon!
Change in Operating Hours:
Effective this Summer, the Rosen Library will be open Sunday through Friday year-round. In the Summer, this change merely means that we will be open Sunday as opposed to Saturday. We intend to maintain this schedule into the Fall semester and beyond, which does amount to a small hours reduction in the Fall and Spring semesters. The decision to close on Saturday was not made lightly or without a great deal of deliberation. However, faced with an increasingly difficult budget and staffing situation, we were forced to make a change. Ultimately, we believe this change will allow us to devote more resources to our busiest times and to better serve our patrons.

We like to think of ourselves as Super Librarians, hands on hips, hair blowing in the wind, chins held high, intent on saving the world one question at a time!...Still, sometimes we could use a little help or advance warning. Have you assigned a paper or project that involves the use of resources such as books, articles, or legal information? Let us know, and feel free to send us a copy of the assignment in advance. The more we know about the assignment parameters, objectives, and expectations, the better we can assist students who come to us for help!
Need some help finishing those taxes? Take a look at the Libraries' Tax Information (2008-2009) page, created by Rich Gause, UCF Government Documents Librarian. It includes links to forms, places to get free tax help, and much more.

Opening Lines...
Welcome to the first issue of Faculty Lines, a newsletter designed specifically for Rosen College faculty.
Because we know your time is valuable, we will strive to keep Faculty Lines brief and to the point. In each issue, we will impart a little news, highlight some recently acquired materials, and just generally keep you informed about library resources and services.
News & Notes...
Reminders
Some friendly reminders as you work on your syllabi and lesson plans for the Spring semester:
If you assign a research project in a course, you may wish to consider requesting a customized library instruction session, tailored to the needs of your students. Simply fill out our handy Library Instruction Request Form and we will be in touch shortly. Please put your requests in early if you want to be assured of getting one of your preferred dates!
Consider whether you wish to place any materials on reserve in the library for your Spring courses. Every semester we get many inquiries from students, hoping to find required texts and other materials for their courses on reserve in the library. For more information, please see our Course Reserves webpage.
New Services
Did you know? We now have all of the following available for checkout: laptops, headphones, calculators, and lockers. You can refer students to us for these services, or feel free to make use of them yourself.
New Faces
Have you met Jamie Conklin, our new Adjunct Librarian, yet? Chances are your students have, because Jamie is usually busy teaching library instruction sessions, answering reference questions, circulating materials, and otherwise assisting with public service duties in the Rosen Library. Stop by and say hello, if you haven't already!


From the Stacks...
We know that faculty are always looking for good audiovisuals to use in the classroom. Following is a selection of new DVDs in the Rosen Library. Many of these titles cover areas of high demand or areas for which we previously had very few audiovisual offerings. Click on the hyperlinked title for more information, usually including a brief description, running time, and other pertinent information.
