Embracing Technical Service's Public Service Role, Jeffrey M. Mortimore

Library Faculty Presentations

The traditional distinction between the “front office” and the “back office” fails to align with contemporary technical services practice. Today, technical and public services personnel are equally involved in providing resources, services, and support direct to patrons, demanding communication, collaboration, and public service competencies library-wide. Drawing upon participants' experiences, this roundtable will discuss the importance of communication and referral skills commonly associated with reference and instruction to the delivery of effective technical services. Discussion questions include:

• What are the emerging points of contact between technical and public services, and technical services and patrons? What role has the ongoing transition to …

Let The Right Ones In: Supporting Patrons As Content Creators With Libguides And Libguides Cms, Jeffrey M. Mortimore, Ruth L. Baker

Library Faculty Publications

With flexible access and permission features, LibGuides and LibGuides CMS offer an adaptable platform for hosting patron-created content. This paper highlights how librarians at Georgia Southern University opened their LibGuides CMS platform to host faculty and student projects and portfolios. Employing similar techniques, libraries can host a wide range of patron-created content while protecting library-managed guides and assets, controlling access to patron-created content, and protecting patron privacy. This paper provides a detailed overview of access and permission features available in LibGuides and LibGuides CMS, presents two case studies, and offers considerations and best practices for hosting patron-created content.

Service To Older Adults: Defining The A, B, C Of Reference Interchange, Kay Coates

Library Faculty Presentations

Presentation given at 2019 Atlanta Area Bibliographic Instruction Group (AABIG) Conference

Older adult library patrons often surface with unique research needs. This presents opportunities to serve this population of users through relationship building, knowledge-based content, and access privileges. Employing empathy, design, and ideation from a design thinker’s toolkit can equip libraries to support this diverse group of learners whose information needs range from leisurely bylines, life-long learning, ancestral pursuits or other avocation. Design thinking solutions enable librarians to engage in effective reference transactions that satisfy these and other users. Successful user experience comes down to the A, B, and C …
