Celebrating Student Learning & HumboldtBy Cyril OberlanderHappy 250th birthday, Alexander von Humboldt!Often described as a polymath, Humboldt wasa famous explorer and inventor who travelledthe globe researching geology and botany,studying flora, measuring gravity variation alongmountains, and so much more. In 1802 Alexandervon Humboldt climbed Mt. Chimborazo, one of themost significant challenges in his travels. Manyother research experiences enabled him to publishCosmos, a nine-volume history of the universe.Situated near Humboldt Bay, the diverseresources and learning environment of theHSU Library offer students opportunities toexplore and discover the world, connecting andintegrating ideas across disciplines and formatsthat culminate in the creation and sharing oftheir research in myriad forms of scholarship. Atthe HSU Library, students face challenging newheights. They explore information searches thatresults in millions of potential sources to sort andevaluate, read several required textbooks thatcost 200- 300 each, and seek access to researchusing computers in the library. The Librarysupports many HSU students along their journeysthrough writing and publishing with HSU Press,contributing their unique and powerful voices tothe world. Library Scholar Interns and studentassistants are researching, digitizing and curatingexhibits and websites, as well as developing digitalmedia skills and facilitating learning in SkillShops.This past summer, the Library studentassistants, that developed SpaceUse presentedtheir innovative software at the American LibraryAssociation in Washington, D.C. to an audience of80 librarians, with much interest from academicand public libraries. Library student assistants onthe Citing Insights team are developing uniquesoftware for information literacy assessment. Thispowerful tool will assist faculty and librarians withassessing information literacy in student papers.The first phase includes alpha testing this fall withHSU faculty and staff. The feedback will be usedto finalize the design and release of this opensource software. The Citing Insights team willthen re-design the system as a guide for studentsresearching and writing.As we recognize 2019 as the year of Humboldt’s250th birthday, we celebrate student learningat HSU. The students exemplify exploration andthe importance of connecting both history andinnovation. HSU students are amazing! Theycreated a flight simulator, augmented realitysandbox, SpaceUse, Citing Insights, and hundredsof published works and digital media. HSU Libraryprovides information resources and curatesmany outstanding opportunities to investigate,inspire, and invent. Thanks to the support ofdonors, we are able to offer paid internships,student employment, textbooks, specializedresources, and technologies that empowerlearners.

Thesimulator is designed to cultivate an interest in aviation and housing it in the Library makes it accessible toeveryone. Planning for the flight simulator began in Fall 2018, led by PC Gaming Club President Sarah KangaLivingstone. Students in the club were able to create what you see today thanks to community membersgenerously donating around 10,000. Students plan on continuing their fundraising efforts to improve thesimulator. For many students, this is their first time interacting with an airplane cockpit. An augmentedreality flight simulator like this project is designed to replicate the real thing. Studies show that simulationsare effective ways of training the brain. This simulator instills a love for flying and makes the possibility ofbeing able to fly even more of a reality, while potentially leading students to a career in aviation. With thesupport of community members, this project was made to help students. All library visitors are encouragedto try it out! To learn how you can support the club and the flight simulator project, please contact the clubat pcgaming@humboldt.edu.

We value all departments oncampus, and have textbook offerings for every major with required textbook materials. During the Fall2018 and Spring 2019 academic year, 38% of HSU students used textbooks on reserve.“My textbooks average over 300 - 400 a semester. Sadly at this point in my life I am unable toafford all the books I need and am greatly appreciative for being able to check out books here atHSU” - Spring 2019 Survey, Senior Liberal Studies Elementary Education.During Spring 2019, instructors were able to see how many students checked out their personaltextbooks; 35 instructors participated in this pilot program.
