This article discusses findings from a longitudinal research study that examined the way graduate students carry out the literature review and how they were impacted by attending a library literature review workshop. The literature review research process serves as an important gateway for graduate students’ into their scholarly communities’ practices,...
A library’s Web site is well-recognized as the gateway to the library for the vast majority of users. Choosing the most user-friendly Web architecture to reflect the many services libraries offer is a complex process, and librarians are still experimenting with what works best for their users. As part of...
In Spring 2017, I was tasked with analyzing and providing feedback on the Web of Science and Scopus databases from an advanced researcher point of view. At Oregon State University (OSU), we currently have a subscription to Web of Science, and we wanted to see if switching to Scopus might...
True learning happens when we try new things - when we practice something, see how it goes, and then try it again. Pedagogical practices that encourage metacognition and active reflection are built on this premise. But these practices take time, and university instructors are pressured to cover as much content...
The effects of ¹⁵N-labeled fertilizer applied to mature summer-bearing red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) plants were measured over two years. Four nitrogen (N) treatments were applied singularly at 0, 40, or 80 kg·ha⁻¹ of N in early spring (budbreak), or split with 40 kg·ha⁻¹ of N (unlabeled) applied at budbreak...
Patrons are most open to library services when they have specific information needs. At Oregon State University Libraries, we addressed the information literacy needs graduate students have while writing their thesis, and as a result created a workshop focusing on the literature review process. This unique approach of providing instruction...
Despite the many advances in biotechnology and biomedical engineering, the need for long term organ and tissue storage remains among the unsolved problems in the field. Researchers are investigating several possible solutions to the issue that aim to maintain the function and integrity of the biological tissues during storage and...

This dataset features three types of content, all related to the article Llebot, C. Rempel, H (2021) Why won’t they just adopt good research data management practices? An exploration of research teams and librarians’ role in facilitating RDM adoption. First, we include three tables defining fictional personas. Second, one worksheet....
As a research-intensive institution with an emphasis on STEM fields, our collections and instruction reflect the scholarly communication of these fields. Typically, we highlight our collection’s academic resources such as journals and discipline-specific reference sources. While these sources provide a research-focused foundation for our students, they might not always spark...
