Representing Ejournals In The Library Catalog, Kelly Smith

Albertsons Library at Boise State University has been slow to move into the ebook arena for a variety of reasons including the inadequacies of simultaneous user models and the uncertainty of ebook technology. However, the most significant question for BSU has been usefulness of ebooks to their patrons. Are ebooks a passing fad or are they the answer to improved access to information? In January 2006, BSU selected a small group of technical books in an electronic format via the ProQuest Safari Tech Books Online database. This session will discuss the rational behind selecting technical books as an introduction to …

Using Libqual+® To Inform Strategic Planning, Bradford Dennis, Barbara J. Cockrell

Barbara J Cockrell

User comments, that are part of this survey, were analyzed using ATLAS.ti. Through an ongoing process of examination, refinement and interpretation of the available information, goals were defined, objectives developed and actions were instigated …
