4 The Difference Between High School & College Libraries and Research Seat Swap! 2 tables of high school librarians o 5 at each table 1 table of UT librarians Question for all tables: What do you perceive to be the differences between high school and college libraries and research? From each group, select a scribe to compile a list of differences on the large flip charts on each table. When you're done, hang up your page(s) on the closest window or wall.

5 The Difference Between High School & College Libraries and Research Backing up our perceptions with evidence (and putting ourselves in our student's shoes) Contance Mellon's research on Library Anxiety [1986]Library Anxiety o Feelings of being lost stemmed from four causes: (1) the size of the library; (2) a lack of knowledge about where things were located; (3) how to begin, and (4) what to do. Our own First-year student's survey data! "College asks that you evaluate your sources and question them whereas high school only asks that you understand them." "I was scared to ask questions. I didn't want to bother anyone. I also didn't want them to think I was stupid."

6 Seat swap! o 4 tables, 2-3 HS librarians at each table; o 1-2 UT librarians at each table Activity: What and Why: Close reading of syllabus to assess what types of skills the students are expected to have when they come in How: Each table has a different syllabus.
