Communication In Library Consortia, Matt Lee, Valerie Horton Jan 2015

Communication In Library Consortia, Matt Lee, Valerie Horton

Collaborative Librarianship

The authors interviewed ten library consortia leaders and studied the communication tools used by a number of consortia. Library consortia employ a broad range of communication tools to share information with their libraries. Different methods are used for different purposes, but a hierarchy of utility emerged from our study. Certain communication vehicles anchored nearly every communication message, some provided secondary support, and others suited highly specialized needs. This paper reviews shared communication methods, highlights communication best practices, and shares unique communication ideas employed by library consortia.

Occam’S Reader: The First Library-Developed Ebook Interlibrary Loan System, Ryan Litsey Litsey, Kenny Ketner Ketner

Collaborative Librarianship

An ebook interlibrary loan system called “Occam’s Reader” was developed through collaboration among libraries of the Greater Western Library Alliance. The first of its kind, Occam’s Reader has proved to be a great success due in no small measure to thorough planning, testing, implementation and development through 2012 to 2104. A new version of the system, Occam’s Reader 2.0 is planned for later in 2015. As libraries band together to accomplish a collaborative goal, there really is nothing that can hold them back

Home Grown Ebooks: North Carolina’S Collaborative Ebook Pilot Project, Jill Morris

Collaborative Librarianship

This article describes how NC LIVE, a large, statewide, multi-type library consortium piloted new models for funding and purchasing a shared ebook collection that concentrated on books published by local publishers. Although the pilot is still being evaluated, the consortium counts the project as a success in that 200 libraries statewide gained unlimited simultaneous user access to more than 1,200 titles not previously available in libraries. NC LIVE is now working with publishers and a platform provider to move the ebook pilot into its next phase as a full-fledged ebook program. The aim of this article is to describe the …

Considering that the notion of community of practice can provide an intriguing framework for library services, this study explores the implications that community of practice suggests for libraries and the roles that librarians can take to foster communities of practice

Book Raider: Connecting Patrons Of Texas Tech University Libraries With Resources Anytime, Anywhere, Ryan Cassidy, Kenny Ketner Ketner, Ryan Litsey Litsey, Matthew Mceniry

Collaborative Librarianship

Given the mandate of Texas Tech University to expand its research mission, Texas Tech University Libraries developed new library services through the Book Raider project that allows patrons to use mobile apps to check library holdings and to order materials through interlibrary loan. Library literature shows an increasing desire among patrons to use this type of technology and suggests an open door exists for librarians to create these new modes of access and delivery. Book Raider, a collaborative project of several departments of Texas Tech University Libraries, involved the development of various types of apps across several technology platforms, a …

Resources On The Historical Study Of Jesus - Ten Years Later, Dennis Ingolfsland Jan 2015

Resources On The Historical Study Of Jesus - Ten Years Later, Dennis Ingolfsland

The Christian Librarian

Roughly ten years ago, during the heyday of the “Third Quest for the Historical Jesus,” The Christian Librarian (48:2, 2005) published an article entitled, “Resources on the Historical Study of Jesus.” Since that time some of the scholars prominent in that quest have moved on to Pauline studies, but others have taken their place and the flood of books being written on the historical study of Jesus continues unabated. This article will cover some of the more significant historical Jesus books that have been written during the past ten years, on both scholarly and popular levels.

Creating Digital Cultural Heritage Collections In An Urban Academic Library Setting, Jennifer Ann Johnson

Urban Library Journal

As libraries develop digital cultural heritage collections the relationship with the organizations that own the collection are vital to the success of the process.

IUPUI University Library is an urban academic library that has worked on developing relationships with external organizations for almost ten years. During this time there have been many hurdles and lessons learned. This paper highlights some of the trends in relationship building with community organizations and offers two unique case studies that …
