In this seminar, faculty will explore how Scopus can support literature discovery, reveal connections among researchers and journals, and offer insight into the influence and visibility of scholarly work. The session will also highlight ways to review and strengthen your own author presence in Scopus so that your publications are accurately represented and positioned for greater reach.

This session will cover:

What Scopus is and how it compares to other scholarly databases in our collection.

How to use Scopus to discover relevant literature, analyze citation patterns, and identify key journals and collaborators in your field.

How to ensure your own publications are accurately represented—and how to use Scopus to increase their reach and impact.

Book Description:

This research-grounded guide helps college educators use generative AI to strengthen, not sideline, what they already know about effective teaching. Drawing on decades of experience in faculty development and learning science, Ludwig and Zakrajsek propose a three-stage progression model-Adapt, Create, Embed-to help faculty from any discipline thoughtfully incorporate AI into their teaching. Rather than chasing the latest tech tools, this book focuses on how AI can deepen student learning by enhancing time-tested frameworks such as TILT, Universal Design for Learning, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Backward Design, all summarized in a handy appendix. Each chapter includes classroom-tested examples, reflection prompts, and activities ready for individual exploration or group discussion. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or cautiously optimistic, this book offers a clear, practical path to using AI as a partner, not a replacement, in ways that support students and reinvigorate teaching.
