assessmentstrategies to identify services and infrastructure to meet the needs of graduate students andfaculty researchers. In general, results revealed the need for developing information literacyskills, technological infrastructure and physical facilities for collaboration. More specifically,assessment findings showed that researchers: (1) identified a need for assistance with technicalwriting, communication skills, search strategies, and ethical use of information; (2) expected newservices encompassing data management, authorship, copyright, and organizing, sharing, andpreserving information in the digital environment; and (3) needed a collaborative space whereteaching and research services coincided. A grant, awarded by the U.S. Department ofEducation

students, not just those in DAEN, about concepts such as copyright,licenses and terms of use. For instance, raising student awareness regarding licensing issues forprojects using a proprietary database such as Nexis Uni® is important. Automated text and datamining are not allowed in Nexis Uni® and other library databases, thereby restricting someprojects proposed by students. We need increased opportunities to teach ethical and legal issuesin working with data and to teach students that not all data are free and unrestricted.Data analytics is different from other academic programs because the learning outcomes areabout developing techniques and selecting analyses; instead of instilling knowledge about asubject, the goal is to develop a skill-set

, lack of tolerance, and censorship among academic and publiclibrarians despite the Library Bill of Rights, which was created to guide collection developmentpractices. Harmayer’s study focused on the librarians’ preference of collections related to pro-choice over those representing pro-life. Quinn (2012) has addressed both the psychological andphilosophical reasons for bias. The latter is related to librarian’s commitment to an ethical codewhereas the former can be both conscious and unconscious. The banning and challenging ofbooks and media has also been an act of censorship whereby works on controversial topics areplaced on a list. Implicit behind this explicit and consciously biased selection of books is thecovert bias against target

. Analytics within Brightspace also provide useful information aboutwhat is being used, and what videos are being watched, and reveal which activities areperforming better than others.The question to ask is what kind of information will contribute to improving the course, and howlearning analytics can be used to make the course more effective in future interactions(evaluating user engagement and soliciting feedback). If the feedback is intended to be used fora research paper or study, ethics approval will be required to harvest the information withinBrightspace.Possibilities for Further Course Development Perform ongoing maintenance and solicit regular feedback Design assessment tools such as mini quizzes Create additional training videos
