From kpatterson2 at fsu.edu Mon Oct 5 09:53:07 2020 From: kpatterson2 at fsu.edu (Keith Patterson) Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2020 13:53:07 +0000 Subject: [Art-instructors] FW: 2020-21 Libraries Resources Reductions In-Reply-To: References: , <0B78B897-9831-4B2A-9349-A39989871EC5@fsu.edu> Message-ID: From: Leah Sherman Dear all, I write with some news about the FSU Libraries budget this year: due to the impact of the global pandemic on revenues for the State of Florida budget, as well as inflationary price increases from scholarly publishers, the FSU Libraries must reduce collections spending by approximately $400,000 in order to balance the budget. Over the past few months, we have identified a list of resources for cancellation by analyzing user statistics, cost-per-use estimates, changing curricular needs, and availability through alternative means. These identified resource cuts make up approximately $300,000 of the needed total. We are working to save the remaining $100,000 through vendor credits, negotiating down inflationary increases in our existing contracts, and other operational savings. We value your input as we make these difficult decisions, and we request your feedback. The following webpage provides additional information on the project, a detailed list of resources considered for cancellation, and instructions on how to provide feedback: https://www.lib.fsu.edu/cda/fy21reductions Please review the lists and submit your feedback to the form on the website by October 16. We would especially like to know if one of these resources is critical to a current research project or fall 2020 course. If you would like to advocate that we preserve access to one of these resources, we would appreciate your recommendations for other resources in your field that would be more appropriate for cancellation at this time. For those resources that we must discontinue, we will make every attempt to provide timely access through a variety of services such as open access alternatives, interlibrary loan, and collaborative resource sharing where possible. As always, please email me directly (LRSherman at fsu.edu) if you have further questions, comments, or concerns.

Florida State University is committed to not only the academic success of our students, but also their well-being. Nationally, students are reporting increased levels of distress, putting them at risk for depression, substance abuse, and other negative outcomes. As a faculty or staff member, you may be the first one to notice signs of distress in a student. It is important that you are prepared to respond to such concerns. To address this concern, the Florida Board of Governors has contracted with Kognito and implemented their At-Risk for Faculty and Staff online training. It is a simulation-based training designed to help faculty and staff members strengthen their ability to notice signs of emotional distress, use techniques to discuss concerns, and refer students to appropriate campus resources when necessary. While the simulation uses a faculty-student situation to demonstrate, the information and skills you will learn apply to faculty and staff. The simulation should take approximately 45 minutes to complete, depending on your level of engagement. The Florida Board of Governors is requiring this training for all state university employees to include both faculty and staff. It is our expectation that you complete this training no later than October 9, 2020. Instructions for completing the training are listed below. If you have questions about the training, please contact University Counseling Center Kognito liaison, Jaymee Spannring, at jspannring at fsu.edu. We thank you in advance for your compliance with this important requirement. Instructions * Visit the Kognito webpage on the FSU University Counseling Center's website. * Sign in with your FSU account credentials. * Launch Kognito's At-Risk for Faculty and Staff mental health awareness training. * Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the training simulations. * Receive your Certificate of Completion at the end of the training.

As you know, librarians are being forced to cut $400,000 from the FSU Libraries budget this fiscal year. We do our best to be judicious in which resources we acquire and discontinue, but managing such a drastic cut to resources is never easy. Here are the latest data on the journal packages under consideration. Wiley and Elsevier journals As part of this budget reduction process, we are looking for ways to save money on our journal packages while still maintaining access to the most important journal titles. At the time our website went live, we only had detailed information to share for the publishers Wiley and Elsevier. In both of these cases, we have provided Excel spreadsheets of the specific titles we would like to cut in order to save an estimated $75,000 to $95,000, combined. If a journal title does not appear on these spreadsheets, it is not being considered for cancellation. If you do see a title on these spreadsheets that is critical to your current research and teaching, please let us know. Taylor & Francis journals This week we received information regarding the Taylor & Francis (T&F) journal package and some options to consider moving forward. Our current package costs $386,000. We cannot sustain this total subscription cost. We have two options. First, we can cancel the entire package and only subscribe to a short list of key journals at list price. This is the same approach we used recently to cut our Elsevier spending in half. Alternatively, we can subscribe to a few smaller, subject-specific journal packages. Attached you will find a spreadsheet that lists ALL of the Taylor & Francis journals in our current subscription. They are grouped into the subject-specific packages that T&F offers. To help us make the best decisions for both content quality and overall cost, we ask that you identify which specific journals are most important to your research and teaching. While they are all valuable in some way, which titles require immediate and regular access for your current projects, for course readings, and other ongoing needs? Keep in mind that canceling a subscription does not mean losing all access; we can still acquire individual articles as needed via InterLibrary Loan and other document delivery services. It may be helpful for a representative from your department to compile a list of these "must-have" journals and share them with me all at once. Thank you again for your continued feedback and please let me know if I can provide any additional information about this process.

<05ECBE06-6932-4E89-AF4A-AFE58D01571D@fsu.edu> Message-ID: From: Kay Bartlett > on behalf of Janet Kistner > Date: Thursday, October 29, 2020 at 11:12 AM Subject: Teaching in Times of Political Tension ***For Distribution to all faculty and instructors.*** Dear Colleagues, If you are wondering how to navigate the last few days before the election and the ?day after? (or ?days after,? in the case of an uncertain outcome) with students who may be either celebrating or mourning, here are a few tips from our Center for the Advancement of Teaching (CAT): Teaching in Times of Political Tension Many members of our community, whether faculty, staff, or students, are experiencing considerable anxiety (and other emotions) during this election season. Faculty will need to consider a number of issues that may arise in their classrooms in the upcoming week. Prepare in advance: A college education helps to prepare students to be informed and engaged citizens in a participatory democracy. In many classes, the election may already be a topic of discussion, or students may expect for it to come up as a topic. If you haven?t already, it may be helpful for you to think in advance about what you would like to say about the election (or even what kind of activity or assignment might be relevant for students to do), including how you might respond to students? questions or comments on the topic. Consider acknowledging the event: If you are wondering about what you might say to your students in the days following the election that might be helpful, consider this sample statement from Brown University: I understand that this is likely a challenging day to be thinking about [subject]. I also imagine that by being here today, like me, you find some reassurance in observing this moment as a community. In a minute, I will turn to the topic in the syllabus, but I do understand that it may be difficult to focus, and so I will both record the session and be available later this week in office hours to support your learning and well-being (Harriet W. Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning, 2020). Be compassionate: If you have scheduled exams, quizzes, or project deadlines during the next week or two, please do your best to be compassionate and flexible. Students may be distracted by stress and anxiety about the election, and may legitimately have difficulty completing work, or producing their best work. Attendance may be spotty when large numbers of students are experiencing anxiety, suspense, grief, or other disruptive emotions. Address in-class disruptions: Unfortunately, hate speech and other biased and discriminatory actions are more likely to occur in our classrooms in times of political tension. As faculty and instructors, we are responsible for maintaining the conditions in which all students are able to learn, so we must monitor classroom interactions and preserve a classroom environment of mutual respect as well as freedom to express opinions. Although some students may wish to argue that racist or anti-Semitic, etc., language should be allowed,? we have the responsibility to protect our students from hostile learning environments. Students may not use our courses as platforms for hostility or discrimination. We must redirect students who exhibit harmful language to the learning goals of our courses and help them to abide by the boundaries established in our syllabi and by our university. Students who cannot maintain civility may need to be counseled, muted, or in some cases, reported for concerning behavior. Although we may not always feel properly prepared to negotiate difficult conversations, it is important to know that ignoring or failing to address discriminatory or hurtful speech gives it your tacit approval. Ultimately, students must be able to trust that their instructor will protect them in the classroom. For support in thinking through handling difficult conversations or maintaining positive conditions for learning, contact the Center for the Advancement of Teaching at pro-teaching at fsu.edu.
