We decided to research the drive and motivations of our field by using an easily identifiable self-categorization tool: the Hogwarts Houses, as defined in the Harry Potter universe. This session will discuss our motivations behind this topic, outline preliminary conclusions from our survey, and delve into some associated topics that must be considered as part of this research process, namely: what does it means to be using an identification system outlined in an inherently problematic author?
Authors from underrepresented groups are often excluded from traditional forms of scholarship and it can be challenging to find them through traditional research strategies. This presentation will cover activities to engage students in conversations about privilege in scholarship. These activities give learners the practical skills to find the voices they may not have found otherwise. Attendees will leave with resources and exercises they can use in their own teaching, face-to-face or online.

Lightning Talk: Creating OER: Learning from Librarian and Faculty Collaboration - Join a librarian-faculty team as they share their experience working to create an open anthology. Discussion will include tools used, planning and collaboration strategies, keys to success, and challenges faced during this process.
Lightning Talk: Creative Commons - Four Icons, Six Licenses, It's Easy - Creative Commons (CC) licenses provide creators an easy way to define how other people can use their content. The 6 licenses, identified by combinations of 4 icons, allow material to be used without worry about copyright infringement, as long as the rules of the license are followed. However, the relationship between CC and copyright is often misunderstood. I will explain the 4 icons; how they combine into 6 licenses; how the licenses work with copyright and why CC:ND licenses are like cactuses.

Library chat queries changed between the Spring 2018 and Spring 2019 semesters. During the Fall 2018 semester, the Library implemented two major services. Researchers saw trends associated with these services reflected in chats. Analysis examined how the frequency of controlled terms applied to chat transcripts changed before and after the services' implementation. The terms associated with the new services showed a dramatic decline in frequency. An association is strongly suggested.

Graphic novels are being used to share information for enjoyment and for intellectual pursuit. Humans respond to and rely on imagery and minimal text to convey information.
