Title: Discovery-based Gauss's law
Description: The mathematical parallels between electrostatics and laminar fluid flow are exploited to develop a set of exercises that allow introductory physics students to discover Gauss’s Law. The primary fluid experiment involves investigating the continuity equation in two dimensions by examining the flow between two closely spaced plates. Extrapolation of the resulting two-dimensional velocity field to three dimensions reveals a radial dependence to the velocity field that is analogous to Coulomb’s Law. This analogy allows the student to predict an electric version of the continuity equation that is Gauss’s Law.

Title: Making a Good Thing Better: Increasing Demand for 1-on-1 Information Literacy Instruction at Grinnell College, Increasing Demand for 1-on-1 Information Literacy Instruction at Grinnell College
Description: Learn why Grinnell College Libraries enjoyed a 60% increase in the number of Library Labs, our customized research appointments, during fall 2011. Research consultations are well established instructional options in many academic libraries and have been offered at Grinnell for nearly 20 years. In this poster session, we will show how we promote, conduct, and assess our one-on-one information literacy sessions on topics such as analysis of the Occupy Movement’s protest signs, Aztec blood symbolism, and gender equity indices. We’ll also illustrate the positive connection between Library Labs and our classroom instruction as well as plans for expanding this successful one-on-one instruction option beyond the reference desk—to librarians’ offices, special collections, and academic support centers across campus—while maintaining its effectiveness.

Title: Success through Community: Engagement at Grinnell College Libraries, Engagement at Grinnell College Libraries
Description: This chapter details several activities undertaken by the Grinnell College Libraries to increase student engagement. These activities include student-curated exhibits, events at which students read their own creative and scholarly works for a community audience, a peer mentoring program, ways to engage students in making decisions about how the library is run, and activities that create a feeling of community for diverse students and increase students’ awareness of diverse cultures. Research has shown that students who are more engaged are more likely to succeed in college, and the Grinnell College Libraries believe that their programs to increase student engagement are contributing to the success of Grinnell students.
