Growing Pains-From Standard Bibliography To Dynamic Web-Accessible Resource, Creating A Repository Of Popular And Scientific Writing On Roses Using Tei., Julia R. Tryon
Julia R Tryon
Twenty years ago, I started a project that I envisioned would culminate in a printed bibliography of writings on the Rose in English that would be as complete as possible—both books and articles. A bibliography on roses had been published in 1973 which focused on books and in 1984 there was a self-published title from the U.K. citing books and“significant” journal articles but which did not include the voluminous amount of articles in popular journals and newspapers. My goal was to update and expand upon what had been compiled by the earlier bibliographers. Two decades later, I have returned to …

Both librarianship and composition have been shaken by recent developments in higher education. In libraries ebooks and online databases threaten the traditional "library as warehouse model," while in composition, studies like The Citation Project show that students are not learning how to incorporate sources into their own writing effectively. This dissertation examines the disciplinary origins and current status of information literacy and makes a case for increased collaboration between Writing Studies and librarians and the eventual emergence of information literacy as a discipline in its own right. Chapter One introduces the near-total failure of information literacy pedagogy and the lack …

Academic libraries are expanding their service roles in all aspects of the research enterprise at their institutions, including the assessment of research outputs. Evaluation of research performance is necessary for the successful administration of academic departments and research institutions. Tools that facilitate evaluation are of interest to faculty, administrators, and librarians alike. SciVal, an Elsevier research intelligence product, enables libraries to provide in-depth support for evaluation projects that exceeds the standard fulfillment of requests for Journal Impact Factors and h-Indices. Operating on the cache of bibliographic information housed in the Scopus database, SciVal permits benchmarking of research productivity, impact, and …
A Review And Evaluation Of Services And Resources To Engineers: A Case Study Of Outreach And Marketing, Assessment, And Future Directions In A Research Library, Matt Torrence
Matt Torrence
Engineering student and faculty populations present a beneficial and unique challenge to libraries and the information science community. The literature, activities, and resource needs of this group provide insight into a demographic that is often among the early-adopters of new technologies, tools, and methods of sharing information. Despite the often non-bibliographic nature of their research efforts, there are numerous elements of the traditional service model that remain relevant and integral to the engineering research patron base. New methods of live and virtual instruction, the improved promotion of research consultation, and data management are prime targets for efficient and effective service …
