UCLA Library Research Guides

UCLA librarians create research guides for classes and other purposes. I created a guide for TAs to help them learn to incorporate information literacy instruction into their curricula and assignments, and I used it as a supplement and replacement for attending a workshop I gave for TAs in late summer and early fall 2009: Teach Information Literacy & Critical Thinking.

You can find lots more of these LibGuides on the UCLA Library’s site for them. The most popular UCLA guides are in the center, but you can also find many more in the left column on this page.

The Library licenses LibGuide software for librarians to create these kinds of guides. There is similar open source software, called Library a la Carte, developed by Oregon State.

Contact Esther Grassian for a demo if you are interested: estherg@library.ucla.edu OR 310-206-4410.

UCLA Library-Licensed Databases – Getting Free Off-Campus Access and Free Articles

The UCLA Library subscribes to hundreds of databases for fees of varying amounts, in order to license them for free use by UCLA students (fully enrolled), staff and faculty. The Library also pays fees to subscribe to thousands of periodicals (journals, magazines and newspapers), many online and some in print and other formats, so that UCLA students (fully enrolled), staff and faculty can use them for free.

While on campus, UCLA students, staff and faculty can use the Library’s materials for free. According to our license agreements, when off-campus, the Library’s online system needs to know that you are a UCLA student (fully enrolled), staff or faculty member, so that you can use online databases and materials for free. In order to do this, you must set up an authentication method for your computer’s Internet connection, in one of two ways:

  1. Go to the Bruin OnLine web site: www.bol.ucla.edu/
  2. Click on the Services tab, and then on Proxy server.
  3. Scroll down to see the list of web browsers in 2 columns, one for PC and one for Mac
  4. Click on the icon for your web browser and follow the instructions to set up the BOL proxy server.
  5. After setting it up, go to the UCLA Library web site: www.library.ucla.edu/
  6. Pull down the Search and Find menu, select Article Databases, and select a database to search.
  7. When you click on the link for a database, a popup window will ask for your UCLA ID (the first part of your UCLA email address) and your password for that account
  8. Once you have authenticated, you will be able to use the UCLA-Library- licensed databases for free, and you will be able to get many articles online for free, BUT you must go through the UCLA Library’s website in order to do both.

NOTE: When searching UCLA-Library-licensed databases, you may see that some articles are directly available through the databases, as indicated by a link or icon for “PDF” or “full text.” If you do not see either of these links, click on the orange rectangle labeled UC e-Links, either to get directly to an article online for free, or to search the UCLA Library Catalog for a free copy. If neither of these choices gets you to an online or print copy of an article, you can still get a copy for free through the UCLA Library. Just click on the link in the UC e-Links box labeled “Request this from another library, or from the campus document delivery service.” The Library will look for a copy of this article for you, mount it on a web site and email you the url, usually within 2 days to a week, for free.

UCLA Library-Licensed Databases: Getting to and Selecting Databases to Search

The UCLA Library subscribes to hundreds of databases for fees of varying amounts, in order to license them for free use by UCLA students (fully enrolled), staff and faculty.

Answers to three questions can be helpful in selecting databases to search:

  1. Which topics does it cover?
  2. What types of materials does it index or provide?
  3. What time period does it cover?

The following steps will help you find answers to these questions:

  1. Go to the Library home page: www.library.ucla.edu/
  2. Pull down the Search and Find menu
  3. Select Article Databases
  4. Enter the name of a database in the search box and press enter, or find a database using any of the following:
    • Frequently Used Databases
    • Databases by Subject
    • A-Z Databases
  5. Click on “more info” under the brief information about the database
    • Example: Search and Find/Databases by Subject/Engineering/Computer Science
    • Database: IEEE Explore
    • more info:
      • “Description:
      • Provides full-text access to more than 1.9 million IEEE documents
        including IEEE transactions, IEEE and IET (formerly IEE) journals,
        magazines, and conference proceedings published since 1988, and all
        current IEEE standards. Subject coverage includes electrical and electronic
        engineering, computer engineering, computing science, and related
        disciplines.”

How do faculty and staff get their official UCLA email address changed?

UCLA faculty and staff cannot change their information in the Campus Directory by themselves. They have to go through their department person. To find the correct person in your dept. there is a link off the Campus Directory website http://www.directory.ucla.edu/ that says Update Directory Listing http://www.directory.ucla.edu/update.php , and from that page, there is a link to View Updaters List http://www.directory.ucla.edu/updaters.php. Then you look up your department and find the person and ask them to update your campus directory entry.

Keep in mind that the email listed in the Campus Directory is the one that is automatically used when you use your UCLA Logon ID, such as in the CCLE Moodle system. So, if you need to change the email that is used in the CCLE, you’ll have to have the email address changed in the Campus Directory.

Do I need to get an IRB Exemption for a Usability Study?

From: Shafer, Sharon
Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 9:31 AM
To: Brunt, Wendy
Subject: Request info re archiving and use of data acquired via IRB exempt studies

Dear Wendy,

You have been so helpful to me when I have applied for and received IRB exemption. I hope you do not mind if I ask you a few more questions. Please feel free to point me to various OPHS documentation.

Goal: Establish and maintain an archive of data from library usability studies to be used by library staff for improving library products and services.
Concern: I am sure there are restrictions on the use of data gathered from IRB exempt studies and I hope to gather information on the restrictions so as to ensure that the UCLA Library is complying and that we are respecting our participant’s privacy and expectations.

Some specific questions:
1. Can we archive data?
2. Are there different levels of use of the data (processing, transcribing (can it be outsourced?)
3. What type of access is permissible; under what conditions?
4. We never associate names with the data, but are some data (video vs. audio vs. text) subject to more stringent archiving/use policies?
5. If we can’t archive video, can we archive a transcript? Or video, with a black smudge on the face?

Perhaps, I need to write this use of the data in to standardized language to be included in all IRB applications?
Perhaps, I need to submit an IRB application for each new use of the data?

Thanks in advance for pointing me to the correct path concerning archiving and use of IRB exempt gathered data.

Subject: RE: Request info re archiving and use of data acquired via IRB exempt studies

Dear Sharon,

Let me see if I can answer some of your specific questions with some general information.

Please note that, if a library usability study will be conducted solely for the purposes of improving library products and services, the study does not need to be submitted to the OPRS/IRB for review. The OPRS/IRB only reviews “research”; research is defined by the federal regulations as “a systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.” [45 CFR 46.102(d)] If a library usability study is not intended to contribute to generalizable knowledge through formal publication or presentation, then neither IRB approval nor certification of exemption of the library usability study is required.

Data collected under a protocol that has been certified exempt from UCLA IRB review must be maintained, stored, accessed and archived as described in the application that was reviewed by the OPRS/IRB. If the data will be maintained in an archive for use by library staff for improving library products and services, the protocol should indicate such. If an investigator wanted to modify the procedures for maintaining, storing, accessing or archiving the research data collected under an exempt protocol, the investigator should submit an amendment to the OPRS for review. The investigator should consider what the subjects were told in the consent document about the procedures for maintaining the confidentiality of the data when proposing to modify the confidentiality procedures for a project.

Regarding your last two questions… Yes, this use of the data should be described in all applications submitted to the OPRS/IRB. Each proposed use of the data solely for the purposes of improving library products and services would not require submission to the OPRS/IRB.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,
Wendy

Responses

UCLA Housing has many resources within the university and outlying areas online and in-person: http://ucla.in/bA1ZoO

Santa Monica *Big Blue Bus (BBB) is an excellent system for getting to UCLA, with extensive service to the UCLA Hilgard Terminal as well as more limited service to Ackerman. http://www.bigbluebus.com

Santa Monica – Many UCLA staff and faculty live in Santa Monica. Santa Monica is a well-to-do city of about 80,000 people west of UCLA. The vast majority of the residents – 70% – are renters, and most reside in multi-family housing. The average rent on a market-rate two bedroom unit in Santa Monica was $2,150, according to a city report released in 2012. The public schools are excellent; the sidewalks are wide and clean; the city government is well-run; and residents are no more than two blocks from a Big Blue Bus stop (although that is no guarantee of the headways). The Wilmont section of Santa Monica is the city’s densest corridor, although don’t be alarmed; the population densities more match Park Slope, Brooklyn than, say, Manhattan. The City approved a progressive long-range planning document in 2010 which articulates its vision for a future that includes focusing development near the forthcoming Expo Line, and reducing vehicle miles traveled through the expansion of bike infrastructure and siting neighborhood-serving retail near housing.

Commute times to UCLA vary based on your start point in Santa Monica and your end point on campus. Those who live off Wilshire Boulevard and work in Wilshire Center will find their commutes are less than 25 minutes door-to-door by bus. A door-to-door commute by bus for someone who lives on the edge of Venice and works on The Hill may be an hour.

Data Management Plan and Resources

Data Management

Making a plan for managing data before beginning a research project and then following that plan throughout the research life cycle is essential to ensure usability, preservation, and access to the data. It may also be a funding requirement; many federal agencies and other funders now require grant applicants to include a data management plan with grant proposals. The UCLA Library can help researchers with data management.

Grant Requirements

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-110 contains federal administrative requirements for grants and agreements received by institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other non-profit organizations. It also reflects circumstances under which public access to research data is required through the Freedom of Information Act. A table summarizing various federal agencies’ data management and sharing policies and requirements is available online.

National Science Foundation (NSF)

The NSF strengthened its data sharing policy as of January 18, 2011, when it began requiring all grant proposals to include a two-page data management plan. Guidelines are available online. Specific NSF directorates, offices, divisions, programs, or other units may impose additional data management requirements.

National Institutes of Health (NIH)

The NIH has a policy supporting data sharing, which requires researchers applying for $500,000 or more in direct costs in any one year to include a data-sharing plan or state why data sharing is not possible. Further details are available on the NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guidance web site.

Data Management Plans

The California Digital Library (CDL), along with other institutions, has launched an online data management planning tool to help guide researchers through the process of creating a plan. The tool helps researchers:

The CDL also has a data management guidelines Web site to assist UC researchers with developing data management plans. It links to detailed information on creating, organizing, and managing data.

UCLA librarians can help researchers with developing a data management plan or using the CDL tool; request a consultation via email (data@library.ucla.edu).

Data Repositories

Researchers can share data by emailing it to requestors or posting it on a Web site, but this can make it difficult to find. Depositing data in an archive facilitates its discovery and preservation.

UC Repositories

Other Repositories
Princeton University has created a repository for policy-relevant data on U.S. arts and cultural policy. The California Digital Library has compiled a partial list of data repositories in various disciplines. More complete lists of data repositories are available from Purdue University’s Distributed Data Curation Center and Simmons University.

Privacy and Intellectual Property
When publishing data, researchers must consider their rights and responsibilities regarding confidentiality and intellectual property.

Confidentiality
It is vital to maintain the confidentiality of research subjects for ethical reasons and to ensure their continuing participation.

Comply with UC regulations: Consult the appropriate UC Requirements and Guidance for Conducting Research Involving Human or Animal Subjects.
Comply with all health research regulations: Federal legislation contains very strict guidelines; consult HIPPA Privacy Rule Information for Researchers.
Evaluate the data’s sensitivity: Consider whether the data contains direct or indirect identifiers that could be utilized with other public information to identify research participants.

Obtain informed consent: Several sample agreements are available.
Restrict use of the data: Control access through embargoes or access/licensing terms and conditions.

Learn about professional guidelines: The National Academy of Engineering offers an online ethics center that includes a discussion of ethical issues in data management.
Intellectual Property Considerations
Data cannot be copyrighted. However, a particular expression of data, such as a chart or table in a publication, can be copyrighted.
Data can be licensed; licensing conditions can be imposed to protect participants’ privacy or limit further uses.
To promote sharing and unlimited use of data, make it available under a Creative Commons CC0 Declaration.
Researchers may or may not have the right to share data collected from other sources, depending upon the sources’ license terms.
Most licensed databases the UC Libraries subscribe to prohibit redistribution of data outside of UC. For more information on terms of use for databases licensed by the Libraries, contact the subject specialist supporting your discipline.
If you are uncertain about your rights to disseminate data you collected, consult with the UCLA Office of Intellectual Property and Industry Sponsored Research or the UCLA Office of Campus Counsel.

Further Information and Assistance
UCLA librarians can provide assistance with developing data management plans; email data@library.ucla.edu or contact the subject specialist supporting your discipline. The following may also provide information about and assist with other aspects of managing data.

CareConnect

CareConnect, a new name for UCLA’s innovative electronic health record (EHR) program. It is based on EpicCare. The name CareConnect reflects both the breadth of the program and the benefits that will result from its implementation.

While the CareConnect program is using Epic Systems technology, the actual implementation will be tailored to UCLA’s needs, according to Michael Steinberg, M.D., Chair of the Executive Oversight Board.

EpicCare EMR is a comprehensive system of applications known for being efficient and physician-friendly, with integrated access and revenue systems for simplified administration. Their “one patient, one record” approach improves care in both hospitals and physician groups by simplifying the important patient-facing elements of care delivery.

How is blogging being used in teaching at UCLA and elsewhere?

Blogging can definitely be used in teaching, and here are some UCLA Faculty experiences:

Chad Topaz, Dept. of Mathematics

“I have done some work implementing student blogging as a tool to improve teaching and learning. If you are interested in this topic, feel free to peruse the information packet I put together.”

Unfortunately, Prof. Topaz has left UCLA and moved to USC and then on to Macalester College – 5-23-08.
Prof. Topaz’s website https://chadtopaz.com/ shows his continued interest in this. – 3-21-17

Kimberly Jansma, Dept. of French and Francophone Studies

She experimented with blogging in an advanced French writing class. Students took the role of tenants in an apartment building and the writing assignments for the class were done in the “voice” of that character. After the assignments were corrected, students would post them to their blog and other students could read and commment on them. Also in French.

Articles and Other Resources

If I am an instructor, but I have yet to have my name added to the payroll, how can I obtain a BOL account if I need access to course materials?

Instructor can apply for a “special temporary account” with an expiration date by following the instructions for a visiting scholar account here:

Once the professor has a payroll entry, they can then contact BOL to switch their account over to a regular one.

Where can I find interviews with faculty about teaching with technology?

An underutilized resource on campus is this collection of interviews with faculty about teaching with technology.

Please add other sources both here at UCLA and elsewhere.

The UW-Madison Educational Innovation Initiative produced a series of faculty interviews on teaching and learning, including videos on teaching online, backwards design, hybrid learning, and online music and nursing education:

Bruincard photos for class rosters

The School of Public Affairs gets student photos from BruinCard. All students, faculty, and staff photos are on file at BruinCard. This is a fee for service function, and there is a form that must be completed that addresses FERPA and other issues. Faculty really like having a sheet in front of them that allows them to learn names and faces quickly.

How can I find out what UCLA phone number a particular line has?

If you want to find out what UCLA phone number a particular line has, call 114 from that line, and the support operator will tell you what number it is, 7-5:30 Monday through Friday.
