2018 Charleston Library Conference

"Academic librarians are well known for training and teaching students how to navigate research databases and other electronic resources in information literacy programs and one-shot information literacy training sessions. However, students are not the only constituent at our institutions who require training in the research process. We are directors of the library and learning center (LLC) and institutional research and training (IRT) at an institution that is primarily a teaching-focused college. For many years, our faculty had no formal expectations of consistent publishing. This changed recently when college leadership announced that the new vision of the college included consistent faculty scholarly output.

To encourage faculty publication, we have worked one-on-on and in small group training on topics such as survey design, data analysis, and how to write literature reviews. Recently we co-facilitated a workshop on how to promote their publications using web-based Author Services. This training walked faculty on the various types of author services, including Google Scholar Author Profile, figshare, ImpactStory, ORCID, among others.

Join us in this lively presentation (no PowerPoint here!) with your laptops or mobile devices and your most updated CV or resume as we walk you through the process of setting up author services to promote your scholarly activities."
