Sorting By Lc Call Number In Excel, Daniel W. Jolley
Sorting By Lc Call Number In Excel, Daniel W. Jolley
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
Sorting by Library of Congress (LC) call number in Excel is problematic because Excel does not treat LC call numbers as numbers. In practice, this means that Excel sorts LC call numbers based on each successive digit in the call number rather than the overall value of each call number. (for example, a call number beginning with PS507 would be sorted after one beginning with PS4998 in a default Excel sort). In this presentation, I demonstrate one method for accurately sorting by LC call number in Excel.
An Evaluation Of The Privacy Policies Of Library Vendors, Daniel W. Jolley
An Evaluation Of The Privacy Policies Of Library Vendors, Daniel W. Jolley
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
This project aims to evaluate the degree to which various library vendors are taking the privacy of library users into account. In 2018, the Library Freedom Project put together a Vendor Privacy Scorecard analyzing the privacy policies of twelve major vendors, but no follow-up study seems to have been conducted by the Project since then. I intend to conduct my own updated privacy policy audit of these and other significant library vendors (particularly those used by NC LIVE) to gain a better understanding of how well these vendors are accounting for and protecting the privacy of individual library users today. …
A Holistic Approach To Designing Digital Archive Collections, Natalie Edwards Bishop
A Holistic Approach To Designing Digital Archive Collections, Natalie Edwards Bishop
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
Transitioning analog archival collections into a digital medium requires more than a scanner and a digital platform. The balancing act between retaining provenance, addressing conservation concerns, and delivering an engaging digital experience for collection users can be daunting. When digitizing analog collections, archivists must take a holistic approach to digital collection design that includes practices that are not part of physical arrangement and conservation framework. This presentation will identify key stumbling blocks in the digitization process and present practical, no-cost solutions for tackling those hurdles, paving a smoother pathway for launching user-friendly digital collections.
Presented at the Association of Librarians …

Sleeping With The Enemy: Demystifying Faculty-Librarian Relationships, Pam Dennis, Natalie Bishop
Sleeping With The Enemy: Demystifying Faculty-Librarian Relationships, Pam Dennis, Natalie Bishop
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
Too often campus culture adopts an Us vs. Them attitude. In reali- ty, we are all in the fight together, dealing with a new generation of students, rising textbook costs, and budget crises that arise on a seemingly daily basis. In our presentation, we will look at collabo- rative efforts where librarians partner with faculty in financing pur- chase agreements, tenure and promotion strategies, digital reposi- tory efforts, embedding strategies, and alignment between library instruction and university initiatives such as writing intensive cours- es. Embrace the faculty. They are not the enemy – they are your comrades in arms!
How To Refine The Frbr Hierarchy: A Case Study Of Expressions Of Works By Children's Author Eileen Christelow, Frank Newton
How To Refine The Frbr Hierarchy: A Case Study Of Expressions Of Works By Children's Author Eileen Christelow, Frank Newton
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
It is proposed that the proper procedure for positing hierarchical levels between Work and Manifestation (Edition), in the FRBR (or WEMI) hierarchy, is to make a study of all the editions of selected works as recorded in OCLC WorldCat, and to determine inductively the most useful hierarchical levels between the top level of the Work and the lower and traditional level of the Manifestation or Edition. WorldCat was searched for all works by children's author Eileen Christelow. The 652 bib records were assigned to works, subclassified by key properties. Two intermediate levels popped out from this analysis: language and format.

Digital Commons provides a number of ways to track collection statistics and identify repository access and download trends. This presentation will look at how we used the Digital Commons Dashboard report tool and Google Analytics to identify …
Principles Of Explaining Lc Call Numbers, Frank Newton
Principles Of Explaining Lc Call Numbers, Frank Newton
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
Celebrate LC call numbers if you use them to organize the physical books in your library. Innovate in how you explain them to new students and new library staff. Seven principles for explaining LC call numbers are introduced. A few highlights: (a) All library staff should collaborate in explaining call numbers to new people, with each member of the staff explaining the things about call numbers which they understand. (b) All library staff's understanding of call numbers should be principle-based, not merely experiential. (c) Catalogers should play a central role in teaching about and promoting call numbers. (d) Most people …
"Amazing, Magic Searches" In Oclc Worldcat Discovery: An Update To Kornegay, Buchanan, And Morgan 2005, Frank Newton
"Amazing, Magic Searches" In Oclc Worldcat Discovery: An Update To Kornegay, Buchanan, And Morgan 2005, Frank Newton
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
In their classic article, "Amazing, Magic Searches!" (Library Journal, Nov. 1st 2005, pp. 44-46) Kornegay, Buchanan, & Morgan show how subdivisions (phrases authorized by LC to be tacked on to subject headings) can be used to advantage in keyword searching in online library catalogs. Their first example: college sports and economic aspects. I work at a library which has replaced its free-standing online library catalog with OCLC Discovery Service -- a window into WorldCat which lets you limit your searches to materials in your library. Volunteer State librarians will be pleased to discover that if one reruns KB&M's sample searches …
Dissertation Presentation: Teacher Efficacy And Culturally Responsive Teaching Techniques, Dr. Roberta Callaway
Dissertation Presentation: Teacher Efficacy And Culturally Responsive Teaching Techniques, Dr. Roberta Callaway
Center for Innovative Leadership Development Summer Seminar Presentations
Teachers who believe in their ability to create meaningful learning experiences exert a powerful influence over the achievement of the students they come in contact with. Educators are currently being confronted with increasing numbers of minority students in their classrooms; in order to engage these students, issues of diversity need to be a central part of instruction. Using Villegas and Lucas's (2002) six qualities that define a culturally responsive teacher and Ball's (2009) process for preparing teachers to be effective in cul-turally diverse classrooms. We'll examine theories and best practices, which can be used to create a safe classroom space …
The Embedded Librarian As Graduate Coach, Pamela Dennis
The Embedded Librarian As Graduate Coach, Pamela Dennis
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
In a time when more classes are being offered online and in-person reference desk questions are dwindling, it is even more crucial that librarians to seek out students where they are. One way of doing that is by befriending teaching faculty in discipline areas. Whether at the freshman or doctoral level, literature indicates that students prefer one-on-one interaction with librarians. But librarians undersell themselves and find themselves in a world of anonymity. It’s hard to be valued when you are invisible. By collaborating with the faculty, the librarian has the opportunity of embedding in online classes, co-instructing, receiving invitations to …

Shooting Down The Gold Star: Using The Power Of Feedback And Assessment To Draw Students Through The Threshold, Natalie Bishop, Holly Mabry
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
The ACRL Framework presents librarians with the opportunity to develop a deeper, more effective learning environment that encourages students to go beyond simply achieving the gold star. Measuring students’ mastery of threshold concepts for information literacy instruction presents a challenge to our assessment and accreditation-driven culture. Learn how librarians can use targeted student learning outcomes to develop innovative assessment initiatives to overcome the “making the grade” mindset, which can be an obstacle for both one-shot and for-credit information literacy instruction.
In this workshop, presenters will provide a brief overview of their institution’s for-credit research skills course, identify some of the …
Information Creation As A Process: Putting Together The Pieces Through Disparate Resources, Pamela Dennis
Information Creation As A Process: Putting Together The Pieces Through Disparate Resources, Pamela Dennis
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
With the advent of digitized sources, researchers have at their fingertips a fountain of information of all varieties. While some resources may be considered non-scholarly, they, in fact, are parts of the puzzle that must not be overlooked. Through threshold concepts, we can now teach researchers to find disparate resources that help complete that puzzle.
Transforming Instructional Design: Using Professional Learning Communities (Plcs) To Invoke Change And To Incorporate The Framework Into Instructional Practice, Natalie Bishop, Pamela Dennis
Transforming Instructional Design: Using Professional Learning Communities (Plcs) To Invoke Change And To Incorporate The Framework Into Instructional Practice, Natalie Bishop, Pamela Dennis
Dover Library Faculty Professional Development Activities
When challenged with migrating to LibGuides 2.0, we sought to implement an easily accessible tool that would be useful to our students. With the recent launching of Framework threshold concepts by ACRL, we saw the opportunity to combine LibGuides migration with Framework introduction to improve our existing instructional design practices. In order to attain buy-in by our library faculty, we chose to create a Professional Learning Community (PLC), allowing us to take agency for our own professional development/learning. PLCs function as a collaborative effort to improve student learning through action research and job-embedded learning (DuFour, et al., 2006). Recognizing that …

Leading Effective And Sustainable Implementation Of Video Use In Online Instruction, Natalie Bishop, Emily Robertson
Leading Effective And Sustainable Implementation Of Video Use In Online Instruction, Natalie Bishop, Emily Robertson
Center for Innovative Leadership Development Summer Seminar Presentations
Educators today are challenged with implementing multimedia instruction online, an environment that is inherently static. Incorporating videos into online learning elevates instructor presence within the course and engages students visually and aurally. To some instructors the use of videos as a remedy to static online learning is instinctive, yet others are arrested by the challenge presented by video creation. This session will guide teacher leaders in identifying supportive networks of influence and constructing a framework for implementing video instruction within their own communities of practice.

Educators have a tendency to downplay their own awesomeness; this session will remind us of how great we are and what we can do to meet all of the Teacher Leader Model Standards. We are all leaders in some way by nature of what we do in our individual classrooms. In this session, participants will understand how they can become or already are teacher leaders in their schools and districts. Teachers may be organic leaders (the “doers”- the people everyone assumes will lead the committee because that’s just what you do). This session will introduce the idea of how to …

Good Leaders Need To Develop Good Followers, William Weller, Masonya Ruff
Good Leaders Need To Develop Good Followers, William Weller, Masonya Ruff
Center for Innovative Leadership Development Summer Seminar Presentations
Much has been written about the competencies and characteristics of a leader. However, there is little on the topic of followers. Who are those that follow? Are there different types of followers? How does a good leader develop the skills and competencies of their followers to make the organization great? Rosenblatt has developed a matrix that shares the types of followers based on two continuum -- relationship initiative and the other performance initiative. Other authors have described key competencies of followers. John Maxwell in the 360 degree Leader shares a second premise -- you may lead from the middle. His …

Web-based, online learning options through Blackboard, Moodle, Desire2Learn, and other learning management systems are increasingly popular for students and library patrons who are unable to attend traditional face-to-face courses on a college campus due to geographical, financial, or family obligations. Librarians are also retooling their information literacy courses to adapt to the rapidly evolving online learning environment. Just like in a physical classroom or library that provides assistive technology and interpreters, online information must be accessible for a variety of backgrounds and abilities. Inaccessible online courses that aren't developed with plain language, good color contrast, captions or alternative text formats, …
