E-Learn 2010 Conference Experience
By: Robin R. Bernstein, Senior Director, Library Services
and Chrystal Dawson, Access Services Specialist
―From Frustration to Fulfillment with Streaming Media: Best Practices and Lessons
Learned for Delivering Video to Online Students.‖ If you think that sounds like a mouthful, try
giving the entire presentation in just 20 minutes! Having just returned from the E-Learn
Conference in Orlando, Florida, where Robin Bernstein and Chrystal Dawson presented this topic
along with Pat Artz — we would now like to share our presentation and our experience at the
conference with the Bellevue Community.
The E-Learn 2010 Conference was held in Orlando, Florida, October 18-22, 2010, and
is an international conference organized by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in
Education (AACE). This annual conference serves as a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange
of information on research, development, and applications of all topics related to E-Learning in
the Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education sectors. The presentation was
scheduled on October 20, 2010, and was well-received. It began by discussing how we
collaborate with faculty to provide the copyright media needs of faculty to use in their classes.
We then discussed the establishment and foundation of the Copyright Center and the revisions
that ultimately led to the use of LibGuides to better promote and enhance the new Copyright
Center. We also shared our experience with C-Labs and how unfortunately that did not come to
fruition; but rather, led to alternatives-many of which are in place today. Finally, the
dissemination of useful information and tools that faculty could take back to their respective
institutions, along with information providing insight into the copyright/licensing process, was
addressed. Then it was Pat's turn to focus on his perspective as a faculty member and what his
expectations, experiences, and outcomes were with collaborating with the library.
Having never attended any conferences outside the library arena, this was a new
experience for us both. We realized it was truly an international event when we began meeting
people from Australia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Canada, and many, many more countries. The daily
keynote sessions all focused on the future of technology and set the tone for the day. What
struck us as interesting was the use of the term "on-ground" to indicate "face-to-face" classes;
however, we probably should not have been too surprised since it was an "E-Learn" Conference.
As our session was only 20 minutes long, so were others — this was sort of an introduction to
"speed-conferencing." With over 400 sessions to choose from, we tried to focus on ones that
might address the library in some respect. Of the 17 sessions we attended, only 3 mentioned
the library; however, it was interesting to hear how faculty perceived libraries. Some of the
sessions we found interesting were: "Online Orientation Plus Online Course Equals on Ground
Library," "Making Learning More Meaningful," "Comprehensive Assessment of Student Retention
in Online Learning Environments," and "Have You Tasted the New Blend of Learning."
All in all, it was a good conference and an excellent learning opportunity for us. We
look forward to continue collaborating with faculty in the near future which could possibly lead
to another presentation. We hear next year E-Learn 2011 is in Hawaii…

You Asked, We Listened...
Suggestion:
Why is it so
hard to find the internet
databases…such
as
Ebscohost? You should make
it a lot easier...it is really
frustrating. I don‘t have time
to look and look and try to
figure it out. It should be
more accessible.
Answer:
We apologize if
locating Bellevue University
Library databases are not
very visible to you; however,
we are constantly making
improvements to better serve
the community. In fact, we
are looking into creating a
better portal to locate
individual databases.
Currently we subscribe to

requiring us to organize them
by discipline to better assist
with the research process.
However, we do have a
―Complete Database‖ link at
the bottom of the library

help to access EBSCOhost

have seen in the last forty
years including changes in
format. Libraries still have
books but they also own
AudioCDs, Blu-Rays,
Playaways and eBooks.
Librarians have used the
same ―templates‖ for each of
these new formats making
major modifications to
bibliographic records for far
too many years. The time has
come to toss out the old
template in favor of
something completely new.
For the past six years, a joint
steering committee has
worked to overhaul the
cataloging rules so that it
more clearly represents the
changes we have seen in the
digital world. This past
summer the new rules, known
as Resource, Description and
Access (RDA), were published.
As soon as it was published,
several libraries across the
world including the Library of
Congress began practical
application testing. However,
before all libraries start using
the new rules, testing,
analysis, edits and final
acceptance of the rules will
need to be made. RDA hopes
to bring transparency to
bibliographic records and a
more flexible, dynamic
framework of rules allowing
for scalability. When the rules
do change, what can we
expect to find? You may see
new records better suited for
formats, fewer abbreviations
and possibly fictitious authors
not previously recognized.

Tech Talk
When searching in
iLink, how much attention do
you pay to a title‘s
bibliographic information? Do
you take note of subject
headings, format, edition
statements, summary notes, or
table of contents? Did you
know that rules and guidelines
are applied to each
bibliographic record as it is
created? Since the beginning
of the card catalog, libraries
have employed a structured
standard to creating an index
for its books. These rules are
known as the Anglo-American
Cataloging Rules, 2nd ed., rev.
(AACR2). First published in
1978, the AACR2 provided
―templates‖ for bibliographic
record creation. Rules and
guidelines for these records
were based on works created
only in a few formats.
Now, think about
how many changes libraries

BEEN OFFERING
Learning Liaisons
A husband walks into
the kitchen to see both his wife
and his mother-in-law cutting
off the ends of a ham before
putting it into the oven. When
he asked them why they did
that, they both responded, ―I
don‘t know. That was the way
it‘s always been done.‖ The
three of them then asked the
grandmother why she cut off
the ends. The grandmother
responded with a matter-offact answer: ―It wouldn‘t fit in
the pan.‖
As demonstrated in
the previous story, doing
something the way it has
always been done hinders the
chance of achieving the most
beneficial result. For over
t we nty ye ars Be lle vue
University has been offering
students a way to earn credits
for learning that has taken
place outside of the classroom.
STUDENTS
A few years ago, the
Experiential Learning
Assessment (ELA) Program was
accredited by the Council for
Adult and Experiential
Learning (CAEL) to assess how
college credits are awarded.
The simplified process begins
with students‘ successfully
completing a two-credit
course, ELA 201. While in
class, the student‘s focus is on
examining learning gained
through experience,
identifying college-level
content, and preparing an
experiential learning
portfolio. Students wishing to
earn credit through ELA need
to complete the following four
steps:
1. Complete the Bellevue
University admissions
process.
2. Review the Bellevue
University Experiential
Learning Assessment:
Student Guide, which is
a v a i l a b l e
a t
www.bellevue.edu/ela.
3. Meet with their Academic
Advisor or Admissions
Counselor to confirm that
ELA is a good option for
their degree plan.
4. Register and successfully
complete ELA 201 –
Experiential Learning
Assessment Seminar
course. ELA 201 only
needs to be completed
one time.
The ELA Program is just one of
the numerous options
undergraduate students have
to achieve their ultimate goal
of graduation. If you would

ELA Program, please contact

Database Data
The
Oxford
University Press is perhaps the
most recognizable university
press in the world, and
certainly the largest. It has
been around in some form or
another since the late fifteenth
century, currently publishes
more than 4,500 new books
per year, and is home to some
of academia‘s most cherished
volumes, including the Oxford
English Dictionary, the Oxford
World‘s Classics series, and
the Scriptorum Classicorum
Bibliotheca Oxoniensis, which
is still largely printed in Latin
for the serious scholars of
Greek and Latin literature.
Oxford Reference
Online gathers together no
small amount of the Oxford
University Press‘s most widely
used reference publications in
one place, sorting them
according to both type of
source and subject material,
making simple browsing for
articles of interest easy.
Clicking on a subject area or
type of source link will take
you to a search page from
which you can not only search
within the appropriate
resources, but from which you
can also browse books
published by the Press in a
hyper-linked,
html
environment. To cast a wider
net, simply use the ‗Quick
Search‘ box located in the
upper left hand corner of the
database‘s homepage, or the
‗Advanced Search,‘ available
at the top of the page. Once
a search is complete, you are
given the option to reorder
the results of the search in
several different ways,
represented as large grey
tabs across the top of the
results. You can also narrow
your search by subject, and, if
your search exactly matches
any terms defined by the
reference resources Oxford
Reference Online contains,
you will see at the top of your
list of results a grey box that
contains a ‗Quick Definition‘ of
what you searched. This is just
the tip of the iceberg, as you
can also email articles of
interest to yourself, crossreference terms from articles
you are currently viewing, and
browse or search for
quotations, maps, illustrations,
and timelines.
Using
Oxford
Reference Online
is
practically like having the
reference collection of a wellstocked library at your
fingertips, and as such, makes
for a great resource whether
you are working on a paper
or just looking for some quick
reading to satiate a sudden fit
of curiosity. It can be accessed
from all of the ‗Academic

AN
Narrated by author
Howard Zinn, ―The People
Speak‖ is based from Zinn's
popular works ―A People's
History of the United States‖
and ―Voice of a People's
History of the United States.‖
Wanting to find a different
approach to American History
from what was being taught in
American schools, Zinn
collected stories from famous
as well as common people.
Much of the content supports
the author's opinion that
"Democracy does not come
from the top. It comes from
the bottom." The video is a
collection of writings or
speeches with the message
that American political
progress has come from
dissention, protest, and
disobedience of the common
person which has forced the
ruling class to change.
The narratives are
rich, passionate, and moving,
covering such topics as the
American Revolution,
expansionism, slavery,
women's rights, tenants rights,
unions, child labor/rights,
migrant workers, AIDS, native
cultures, WW II, Japanese
internment, and anti-war
sentiments. The video uses the
vocal talents of Matt Damon,
Mike O'Malley, Josh Brolin,
Viggo Mortensen, Benjamin
Bratt, Morgan Freeman, David
Strathairn, Danny Glover,
Jasmine Guy, Kerry
Washington, Lupe Fiasco,
Rosario Dawson, Marisa
Tomei, Don Cheadle, Sandra
Oh, Sean Penn and others.
Musical works punctuate
several of the themes with
performances from John
Legend, Pink, Bruce
Springstein and others.
Overall, this video is highly
recommended
as
a
challenging, enlightening, and
empowering work which
should cause the viewer to
reflect on the current American
political climate and the path
to this point. This DVD is
available in the Bellevue
University Library and may be
borrowed for one week.

Have you ever heard
of the Mass Observation
Diaries held in the archives at
Sussex University in Britain?
These are diaries kept by
random people in Britain
during World War II. The
pur pos e of t he Mass
Observation documents was
for ordinary people to report
on daily life and beliefs in an
effort to contribute to the
anthropological knowledge of
ourselves. The people who
participated in this effort had
a common goal of building
barriers against irrational
fears and promoting realistic,
enlightened, and scientific
contributions to greater good
in social and political life. In
―Nine Wartime Lives: Mass
Page 6
Observation and the Making
of the Modern Life,‖ author
Hinton James examines the
lives of nine people who
participated in the Mass
Observations during wartime.
In this book, James
asked what made people
active citizens during wartime.
How did their private and
public lives affect one
another? He examines 6
women and 3 men with a
variety of backgrounds,
experiences, and stories to
tell. James discovers three
themes in his research; war‘s
impact on active citizens,
democratization in private
lives, and the search for
meanings that transcend the
violence of war. Not only
does this eBook give us a
different glimpse into the
world of an ordinary citizen
during World War II, but it
also helps us discover how
people who seek answers to
who they are and how they
should live become part of the
larger picture of social
transformation. As James
states, ―eccentricity, the
diaries remind us, is ordinary.‖
This is an eBook that can be
found by title searching ―Nine
Wartime Lives‖ on iLink. As
this is an eBook, you may read
this book from home once you

JOURNAL REVIEW:
As the end of the
year quickly approaches,
fundraisers are gearing to
make an important push for
donations. Most people who
donate to charities, prefer to
do it before the end of the
year for tax purposes. For
fundraisers looking for ideas
to grab those dollars, the
journal Fundraising Success is a
great resource.
This journal provides
fundraising tips and advice
from professionals in many
different types of fundraising
organizations. Articles include
Fundraising Success
reviews of resources used in
the field, fundraising success
stories, and even fundraising
failures.
A recent issue
featured an article on
fundraising using the internet
and social media entitled,
―This is Your Organization on
Social Media.‖
Another
article, ―The Secret
Superheroes of Fundraising,‖
describes the power that
board members can have for
helping fundraising initiatives.
It lists things you can and
cannot expect from board
members and ways to use
their help without asking them
t o so licit fo r mo ne y .
Fundraising Success is the
place to learn and gain
inspiration about fundraising
techniques and tools.
Fundraising Success is
published monthly and is
available in both print and
electronic format. Indexing is
provided by ProQuest‘s ABI/
INFORM Complete database,
and print copies from 2005 to
the present are found in the
periodical section of the
