PAGE 16 LIBRARY AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES - - - ▶ SPOTLIGHT ON COURSES Librarians expanded their instructional footprint across disciplines, programs, audiences, and all levels of education including curricu lar, co-curricular, and extra-curricular learning. The Engineering Librarian continued to support summer research opportunities for Lehigh students, students from other colleges and universities, and local high school students through presentations and tutorials for the Summer Engineering Institute and STEM-SI program. As students prepared to work on bibliographies for Professor John Savage’s class entitled Time Travel: How to Make History, the Social Sciences Librarian met with students to model the research process, beginning with topic development and moving through evaluation and comparison of sources. Students then had opportunities to practice. Collaborating in small groups using Jamboard, students documented their search process, shared information they uncovered about the authors of their sources, traced the impact of their sources, and compared them to sources their classmates discovered. Additionally, students shared database tips with their peers. The College of Business is committed to building a foundational understanding of business and business concepts through their BUS 001 core introductory course. The Business Librarian took part in the Career Research Resources—BUS 001 Student to Professional presentation where library databases were shared that can assist students in better understanding specific indus tries and business occupations. The librarian also worked with several BUS 001 students during the semester on how to apply APA citations to their assignments. With a first-year writing class, the Education Librarian explored how hip hop might help us think about artificial intelligence as a tool (or a detriment) to create art. Students analyzed songs by Erykah Badu and Mos Def and considered how these artists’ complex evocations of personhood, culture, imagery, and place stood in contrast to AI-generated hip hop music from tools such as Uberduck and Suno. The Science Librarian worked with an upper-level chemistry class to compare AI-powered search engines with traditional library bibliographic databases, with a focus on ease of use and effectiveness, resulting in student reflection on relevance and trustworthiness of sources. The Humanities Librarian supported three courses with AI components: Can AI Make Art? (in Theatre), Design Prompts, and Product Design 2: AI in Product Design (both in Design). Students in all three classes learned how to be visually literate and to be critical producers and users of AI-generated images and texts. Digital Research and Scholarship Team The Digital Research and Scholarship Team consulted on and supported the use of technology in teaching, learning, and campus operations: ▶ POLS 319/419 (Mapping Data for Policy Making)—supported GIS instruction throughout the semester and met with stu dents individually for support with final projects. ▶ Built an application for Larry Snyder and Suzanne Edwards’ interdisciplinary course ISE/WGSS 296 (Algorithms and Social Justice) that modeled predictive policing using the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft Database. ▶ Worked with students to build two mapping applications using Google Earth Engine for EES 201 (Seismology: The Earth and Environment) and EES 426 (Tectonic Processes). ▶ Provided GIS support and maintained a mapping application used for laboratory sessions in EES 223 (Structural Geology and Tectonics). ▶ Supported GIS application and development for the Lehigh RiVR project in Professor Al Bodzin’s Creative Inquiry course (CINQ 389).
