For example, whenteaching about the layers of the Earth, a two-dimensional video animation can show the differentstructures of the Earth, but an AR experience could take the user inside the Earth, allowing for asense of being present there, and enabling exploration and linking the knowledge with personalexperience. Experiences like these can help provide the student with “authentic learning,” whichrelies upon a situated and realistic (in terms of future applicability) learning experience [23].The authors are currently in the process of improving the second prototype AR experiencedescribed above by

Evidence also suggests that the issue ofsalience, “the perceived applicability of information to a problem that [the student] faces” 3, alsobecomes a key factor in information-seeking behaviour.Several studies that looked at the information habits of undergraduates suggest that Google,Google Scholar (GS) and Wikipedia are the students’ “discovery tools of

As thevolume of patent and non-patent literature exploded after the Second World War, this practicebecame increasingly duplicative, expensive and unsustainable. After further development andtesting by patent offices during the 1960s, the IPC was formally established in 1971 under theStrasbourg Agreement. The IPC is governed by the 61 countries that are members of the treatyand administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization. Today, the IPC is used bymore than 100 countries worldwide. In addition, IPC codes have been applied to some non-patent literature databases. For example, IPC codes have been added recently to Inspec, ascientific and technical literature database published by the Institution

effective communication between librariansand end users. College students are less dependent on the traditional library andlibrary services, and less actively involve librarians in their research [1].Meanwhile, the rise of social media creates a new world for libraries. Social mediahas been widely adopted as a powerful tool by academic libraries, particularly forlibrary outreach, information dissemination, and reference service enhancement.Although various social media tools (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, etc)have been extensively examined in the past decade, more innovative uses of socialmedia in real-time information literacy teaching, large-scale library education, andself-motivated user engagement remain to be further explored

(The CPC added an additional category “Y” forcross-referencing purposes.) These sections are divided into a hierarchical classification systemwhich has further lower levels. When classifying an invention four specific areas of inventionare considered: 1) the invention’s intrinsic nature or function; 2) the invention’s particular use orpurpose; 3) the invention’s application; 4) the incorporation of an invention into

Since the document was shared with the twoinstructors via Google Drive we were able to check in on the students’ understandingperiodically throughout the course and provide feedback via the “Comment” feature. We chosethis form of assessment because it allowed us to gauge student understanding in an organic waythat would seem relevant to the students, rather than quiz-style assessment that we feared wouldbe viewed as busy work.The second prong of our assessment plan is to measure the long-term impact of the course via anonline survey that we will send
