Friday, 14 November 2014 (1:30-3:00pm)
Harriet Irving Library, Milham Room
UNB Fredericton campus

You are invited to participate in a presentation and discussion on the use of film and digital media in the classroom. Just as learners have come to expect differentiated, media-rich pedagogy, so too are instructors increasingly availing themselves of such content and the means of production for creating their own innovative teaching materials.

UNB Libraries and DOCTalks are interested in discussing with you some of the ways in which film and digital media are currently being used in teaching and learning on university campuses (whether virtual or physical). We would also like to learn more about your own needs in this regard so that services on UNB and STU campuses evolve appropriately and key stakeholders–the “content” people such as yourselves and the film & digital media producers–synergize their efforts.

Marc Bragdon, UNB Fredericton Film Librarian, will present briefly on developments in access to and incorporation of streaming media in learning environments and also discuss from an instructional perspective how the library is creating online video materials for promoting digital literacy.

Lloyd Salomone, co-founder of DOCTalks Festival & Symposium and independent film and digital media producer, will discuss cross-sector collaborations and partnerships.

Recently at the Harriet Irving Library, Microforms has begun its move into a newly developed space in the basement! While there is some material left on the third floor, much of the collection and equipment has moved downstairs.

While we are in the midst of this transition, we’d like to highlight that if you have any questions the Microforms staff are here to help you during regular office hours. There is a service desk in the basement space, and the main Microforms office can be found in their new location on the third floor in Room 309.

Take a look…

• PsycBOOKS
• PsycTESTS

PsycBOOKS is a comprehensive source of chapters from thousands of scholarly and professional books published by the APA and other distinguished publishers, indexed with controlled vocabulary from APA’s Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms.

In this e-resource, you can access the following:

• approximately 55,000 chapters in PDF from over 3,500 books
• nearly 2,600 classic books of landmark historical impact in psychology, dating from the 1600s
• more than 1,500 authored entries from the APA/Oxford University Press Encyclopedia of Psychology
• digitized content from the Archives of the History of American Psychology (AHAP) collection

PsycTESTS, produced by the APA, provides access to tests that are relevant to psychologists and professionals in related fields such as psychiatry, management, business, education, social science, neuroscience, law, medicine, and social work. It is a unique database providing descriptive summaries, full text, and relevant citations on the development and assessment of tests and measures that can be used in research and teaching. Each record includes data on the scope of the test, test implementation, a high-level overview of the test’s development, and reliability and validity data (when available). International in scope, PsycTESTS provides access to an increasing number of tests in languages other than English. While focused on contemporary instances of test use, coverage dates from 1910 to the present.

Updated monthly, PsycTESTS includes Master test profiles and actual tests or test items for:

• Unpublished tests
• Tests developed by psychologists for which no source document has been located
• Information about published tests available from commercial publishers

Content covers diverse subject areas and types of tests, including:

• Developmental Measures
• Scales for Beliefs, Relationships, or Expectancies
• Aggression, Coping, or Functional Status Questionnaires
• Racial and Ethnic Identity Scales
• Resilience, Anger Response, or Substance Abuse Inventories
• Physical Health Related Assessments
