Utilizing The Power Of Continuous Process Improvement In Technical Services, Lisa A. Palmer, Barbara C. Ingrassia
Lisa A. Palmer
In summer 2003 the Lamar Soutter Library initiated a Continuous Process Improvement project. The project’s goal was to reduce time and/or save money by examining and improving work processes. The charge for the Technical Services team was to reduce turnaroud time of certain processes by 50% or more, including (1) book acquisitions (from order to shelving) and (2) implementation of serials title changes. The team utilized value-added flow analysis to examine the processes and then did a six-month pilot project testing their recommendations.
The Team met weekly over four months to identify the specific steps involved in each process, review …

Evaluating An It Help Desk: An Assessment Report, Fredrick Miller
Fred Miller
This is a report on what we learned as part of a recent assessment of the Information Technology Help Desk at Illinois Wesleyan University. The evaluation examined the services and operation of the Help Desk. It looked at existing data, and collected original data from a brief survey of our campus community. While a good percentage of our campus community is satisfied with technology services, we found that many, particularly students, want service improvements.

Law's Box: Law, Jurisprudence And The Information Ecosphere, Paul D. Callister
Law's Box: Law, Jurisprudence And The Information Ecosphere, Paul D. Callister
Paul D. Callister
For so long as it has been important to know “what the law is,” the practice of law has been an information profession. Nonetheless, just how the information ecosphere affects legal discourse and thinking has never been systematically studied. Legal scholars study how law attempts to regulate information flow, but they say little about how information limits, shapes, and provides a medium for law to operate.
Part I of the paper introduces a holistic approach to “medium theory”—the idea that methods of communication influence social development and ideology—and applies the theory to the development of legal thinking and institutions. Part …

Play To Win! Using Games In Library Instruction To Enhance Student Learning, Tammy Sugarman, Guy Leach

Research has shown that educational games can have positive impacts on student learning and motivation. The success of a game played in a library instruction class depends on the type of game selected, the development of learning outcomes, and the flexibility of the librarian during class. This article explains the benefits to students and librarians of using games, discusses the development and use of a Jeopardy-style game, and provides practical tips for librarians interested in developing and incorporating games into one-time library instruction sessions.

An Integrated Framework For Discovering Digital Library Collections, Karen S. Calhoun
Karen S Calhoun
Information seekers are generally on their own to discover and use a research library's growing array of digital collections, and coordination of these collections' development and maintenance is often not optimal. The frequent lack of a conscious design for how collections fit together is of concern because it means that research libraries are not making the most of the substantial investments they are making in digital initiatives. Discussing the author’s team’s research, this paper proposes a framework for a research library's digital collections that offers integrated discovery and a set of best practices to underpin collection building, federated access, and …
