Use of Library Collections Finding Value in Course Syllabi: Using NVivo to Assess Use of Library Collections Jeremy Whitt Pepperdine University June 26, 2016

Text Mining & Qualitative Analysis

Why Syllabi? “[Syllabus content establishes] the foundation for the yet to be negotiated, unwritten rules for the ways in which the class will function” (Eberly, Newton, and Wiggins 2001).

109 Syllabi Top Five Majors Project Scope Fall 2014 - Spring 2015 Business (48), Psychology (27), English (19), Sports Medicine (9), Advertising (6)

Valid library reference 43% of syllabi: Valid library reference Institutional access?

Results Specific terms appearing in syllabi: “SPSS” “Business Source Premier” “EBSCO” “Mintel” “ProQuest” “SRDS” “PsycINFO”

Results General terms appearing in syllabi: “Database” “E-book” “Scholarly journal articles” “Electronic resources”

General or Specific? Sports Medicine & English: 95% - 100% general terms Advertising: 95% specific terms \Business & Psychology: Mix of general & specific terms

Conclusion & Future Steps Value of library resources in syllabi Limitations of method Future opportunities
