Item Behind the Scenes of OER Librarianship: Facilitation, Collaboration, and Process(2020-05-14) Santiago, ArianaSave students money. Improve student learning. Innovate pedagogical practice. These are common desired outcomes of open education initiatives in higher education. We know these are worthwhile outcomes and that OER hold great potential to impact student success. But how do we get there? What is the process of achieving these outcomes, and importantly, how do we create inclusive processes for advancing OER and affordability? To address these questions, Ariana Santiago will “pull back the curtain” on OER librarianship and share her approach to this work. This presentation will include examples from the field and focus on the roles of facilitation and collaboration in advancing open education initiatives. Keynote presentation for the Springer Nature Summit entitled "Affordable Course Materials: A Closer Look at Librarians and OER/AER" on May 14, 2020.Item Center Stage: Performing a Needs Assessment of Campus Research Centers and Institutes(2017-04) Malone, Andrea; Martin, Lisa; Peters, Christie; Turner, Cherie; Vaughn, PorciaOutreach to research centers and institutes is often overlooked in academic libraries. This article discusses a needs assessment conducted by the Liaison Services Department at the University of Houston Libraries that reviewed library services to centers and institutes at the University of Houston’s main campus. The assessment was conducted for two purposes: to build collaborations with centers and to determine how the libraries might create new services and/or market existing services to meet the centers and institutes’ growing research needs.Item Cultivating Liaison Leadership: Pathways to Management(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2021) Martin, Lisa; Arellano Douglas, Veronica; Creelman, Kerry; Malone, AndreaThis chapter [from the book "Approaches to Liaison Librarianship: Innovations in Organization and Engagements," edited by Robin Canuel and Chad Crichton published by ACRL in 2021] advocates for the creation of structures that give liaison librarians supervisory responsibilities in order to create pathways to administrative and higher-level management positions for them. Using the UH Libraries Liaison Services department as a case study, the authors explore the benefits of a supervising coordinator model and the limitations of this structure. This in-depth exploration delineates what is possible for the professional growth of liaison librarians and the future health of the library leadership pipeline.Item Library Residents on the Bleeding Edge: Delivering Value through Innovation, Leadership, and Inclusion(2015-03-26) Santiago, Ariana; Arnold-Garza, Sara; Linares, RosalindaThis poster highlights cutting-edge projects produced by current and former residency librarians. Projects will illustrate the pillars of a residency experience: the role of the residency librarian as a catalyst for innovation, the importance of leadership skills for imagining and executing work in new areas of academic librarianship, and the value of a diversity perspective to sustaining programs and services that support the variety of campus communities.Item Navigating Support Models for OER Publishing: Case Studies from the University of Houston and the University of Washington(Reference Services Review, 2020-07-23) Santiago, Ariana; Ray, Lauren"Navigating Support Models for OER Publishing: Case Studies from the University of Houston and the University of Washington” was published in Reference Services Review, Volume 48, Issue 3.

Insights, opportunities, and challenges are shared in relation to the broader Open Education movement. This paper provides two case studies describing the development of OER publishing programs at large, public research universities - the University of Houston and the University of Washington. Each program takes an Author DIY approach to publishing support and is in the early years of supporting OER adoption and creation. These case studies demonstrate the need for a greater focus on decision making and workflows. They illuminate challenges and opportunities for librarians supporting OER initiatives, including adapting existing models of OER publishing, navigating institutional culture, moving OER programs beyond affordability, and how to sustain and scale OER programs with shifting institutional support. OER is an emerging program area within academic libraries, and much of the focus has been on outreach and advocacy around affordable alternatives to commercial textbooks. Little has been written about programmatic initiatives to support OER publishing. This paper adds unique examples to the OER literature and raises new questions around support for OER publishing.Item A Tale of Two Classes: Transforming Core Curriculum Pedagogy(2017-09-22) Santiago, Ariana; Lierman, Ashley; Warren, MeaPresented at the Texas Library Association's Library Instruction Roundtable Summit, this presentation describes how the University of Houston Libraries instruction program utilizes a team-based approach to revising pedagogy for core information literacy curricula. Presenters discussed our recurring evaluation process and revisions made for two classes: Freshman Writing 1 and Engineering Technical Writing. Attendees gained ideas for active learning activities and how to make continual improvements to pedagogy and assessment.
