Transforming Special Collections: A (Lib)Guide To Innovation. Peer-Reviewed Poster Session Presented At The American Library Association 2010 Annual Conference., Barbara Lewis, Melanie Griffin

Barbara Lewis

“Special Collections as Laboratories,” a recent posting on the Chronicle of Higher Education’s The Wired Campus blog, revived the myth of special collections as dusty and often forgotten repositories.

SDC created a series of collection guides using Springshare’s LibGuides platform to make its web presence more user-friendly, engaging, interactive, and holistic. The guides also add value to the researcher by contextualizing each collection and highlighting connections/partnerships with other Library units, related academic …

Getting Into The Workflow: Graduate Support Workshops, Steven Baumgart, Rebecca Payne, Anne E. Rauh, Lisa Saywell

To address a need for better library support for graduate students increasingly pursuing interdisciplinary research and study, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries initiated a series of workshops designed to integrate into the workflow of graduate students. Presenters will discuss how the program evolved from a one-library pilot program into a coordinated series of workshops across multiple campus libraries. Details about workshop topics, structure, design, and promotion and series feedback and next steps will …

The following article outlines the strategies IUP Libraries used to hire an embedded librarian, develop that librarian’s presence in …
