My Personal Concerns
- Students- Faculty
![Page 11: LOTW Conference Presentation June 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070312/553984d455034680358b49f9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Literature rife with collaborations
Recent Comprehensive Reviews:Mounce (2010)Raspa & Ward (2000)
• Determining model at the time was Persson and Washington-Hoagland (2005) [I was focusing on Psychology]
• Two sets of standards
Literature Review

Getting The Ground Ready
• Process initiated by librarian• Faculty member solicited • Proposal discussed with Dean of Libraries•Dean of Libraries discussed with Dean of SNR•Dean of SNR communicated with teaching faculty member
![Page 13: LOTW Conference Presentation June 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070312/553984d455034680358b49f9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FURROWING THE ROWS
• Project approved on ‘informal’ basis• Course description or outline should
not be changed • Librarian should not be involved in
course teaching or paper grading or anything of that nature• In-library and/or in-class library
instruction could be done• Faculty member could share the
course outline with the librarian
![Page 14: LOTW Conference Presentation June 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070312/553984d455034680358b49f9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Course: PSY 428A
• Developmental Psychology
Studies human growth and development from infancy through adulthood. Students learn to identify the stages of human development, the tasks of each stage, and the nature of transitions.
