Having Our Say: Engaging Ill And Liaison Librarians In Metadata Curation In Eds, Jeffrey M. Mortimore

Library Faculty Presentations

Deciding whether to support discovery of metadata for unsubscribed content raises a lot of questions for technical and public services librarians, from the philosophical to the pragmatic. Doing so requires careful curation and monitoring of metadata sources, and benefits from library-wide input. During this session, presenters describe their process for vetting metadata collections with ILL and liaison librarians for inclusion in EDS. This involves a three-step evaluation of collections for overall metadata quality, likelihood of ILL fulfillment, and value to the collection. Over the course of this evaluation, technical services, ILL, and liaison librarians each “have their say” on whether …

Successful User Experience Active Listening + Creative Solutions = Building Relationships, Engaging Older Adult Patrons, Kay Coates, Dylitchrous Thompson

Library Faculty Presentations

Presentation given at Georgia Libraries Conference

A brief discussion on ways librarians can use design thinking strategies to support older adult library users. With more university libraries serving the public, academic librarians must be prepared to serve non-traditional students and multi-generational patrons. In particular, older adult library patrons often surface with unique research quests ranging from leisurely bylines, life-long learning to ancestral pursuits and more. Assessing their distinct needs yields opportunities to serve this population of users through relationship building, knowledge-based content, and access privileges. Design thinking solutions can equip academic librarians to effectively engage, support, and satisfy the diverse …

Teamwork Makes The Dream Work: Positioning, Collaboration, And Finding Balance Across Technical And Public Services, Jeffrey M. Mortimore, Dawn Nikki Cannon-Rech, Sai Deng

Library Faculty Presentations

This presentation was given at the ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group, ALA Annual Conference.

Summary: Technology, budgets, and library reorganizations have dramatically reshaped the roles of technical and public services librarians in recent years. Ways of collaborating across library units have changed as well. Together, technical and public services librarians are asking how we should position ourselves, seek collaboration, and find balance in our work. Drawing on participants' experiences, we will explore how engaging strengths and expertise across technical and public services, and partnering with students and researchers in scholarly communication practices, reframes librarian roles and contributes …

Conversation Starter: Wonder Twin Powers, Activate! Leveraging Intra-Library Partnerships To Improve Service Impact, Dawn Nikki Cannon-Rech, Jeffrey M. Mortimore

Library Faculty Presentations

This presentation was given at the 2019 ALA Annual Conference.

Liaison librarians are superheroes, but they don’t go it alone. Share in one library’s experience cutting through the smoke and mirrors of the “solo subject liaison” service model by considering the intra-library partnerships necessary to deliver well-rounded, impactful research services. Presenters describe how collaboration between liaison and technical services librarians have strengthened the role of the liaison program while increasing awareness of library services, expanding instruction beyond the one-shot format, and extending the audience for services previously perceived as faculty-only. Join the discussion by sharing your experiences with intra-library collaboration, …

A Gap To Mind Diversity And Collection Development, Kay Coates

Library Faculty Presentations

Presentation given at the Georgia Library Association (GLA) CalPERS Diversity & Inclusion Group (CDIG), Diversity in Collection Development

This presentation is a curiosity driven discussion about identifying and attempting to address gaps in a library’s holdings as it seeks to adhere to the ALA’s values regarding Diversity and Inclusive content management. In congruence with the unique set of executive practices that institutionally predominates a library’s present modus operandi, approaches will differ. Hence, the question of collection audits and goal-setting to address inconsistencies arises. I will reference my experience of working in an academic library where the existing approach to Collection …
