Putting All The Pieces Together: Developing A Cyberinfrastructure At The Georgia State University Library, Doug Goans, Tim Daniels

University Library Faculty Presentations

Like many libraries over the last several years we have been developing or purchasing technologies such as a Content Management System, an Open URL Link Resolver, an Ask a Librarian System, and a Blogging System that not only support internal functions and communications but also deliver current information and access to resources to our user's desktops. As we begin to explore developments for our next generation of services we realized that the most effective way to deploy these web based services was to integrate our technology and staff into a cross-departmental cyberinfrastructure and collection of working groups that allows us …

Empowering Web Experiences With Ajax And Rss Feed, Win Shih, Hongbin Liu

Win Shih

The rapid evolution of Web technologies and standards has fueled the development of a raft of highly interactive and personalizable Web applications. AJAX (Asynchronous javaScript and XML)-powered and RSS-enabled Web sites, such as Google/IG, Google Map, Start.com from Microsoft, and Flickr.com from Yahoo make Web interfaces out of normally-nonweb-eanbled functionalities as running typical applications on your local PC.

Using similar technologies, we have been exploring the possibilities to a library-based portal that allows users freely configure their customized portal with contents of their choosing. Be this content e-mail, news, weather, blogging, photos, library’s catalog, or any RSS feed from publishers, …

Incorporating Visual Literacy Into Academic Libraries, Jennifer Mayer, Cheryl Goldenstein

Jennifer Mayer

The brain is predominantly visual, with ninety percent of sensory input coming from visual sources (Jensen 2000). Visual arts in particular stimulate the right hemisphere of the brain, and combining visual with verbal activities helps reinforce learning. Millennials generally prefer graphics to text. At the same time, using images indiscriminately may simply serve as clutter—or even convey an inaccurate or negative message. How can librarians use visuals effectively in our web pages, tutorials, handouts, and classroom presentations? What constitutes an “image” and what are some resources for finding images? What services can librarians provide for students whose projects are becoming …

Abstract: Students at WPI must complete 2 projects during their academic career. Written project reports have been housed at the Gordon Library for many years, but never cataloged.

Open Access And Conscious Selection, Kitti Canepi, Andrea Imre, Harold Way

Conference Papers and Presentations

Open Access resources (OA) are becoming more important in all types of libraries. Recent discussions on OA have focused on ILS access and availability of MARC records with little attention to a selection process for deciding whether or not to provide access to OA.

The presenters will outline some of the concerns with by-passing conscious selection, show how some services and systems are providing bibliographic access, offer information collected on the availability of finding aids for a group of OA titles, present selection criteria used by some database aggregators that include OA resources, and suggest possible selection process models.
