Your Library @ Home: Document Delivery For The Online Learner, Ashley T. Hoffman, Kiara Bynum

Ashley T. Hoffman

Kennesaw State University has a growing number of distance education degree programs, and a growing number of online learners as a result. Since these students either rarely or never come to campus, they are unable to take advantage of many of KSU’s library resources. To accommodate the research needs of distance education students, KSU’s Interlibrary Loan department looked to implement a document delivery program to connect online learners with the print materials they would otherwise be unable to access. This poster outlines the research conducted, including a survey of the policies of comparable institutions, as well as the proposed policy …

Authorship Analysis Of The Southeastern Librarian, 2007-2011, David Sesser

The Southeastern Librarian

The Southeastern Librarian has served as a voice among librarians in the region for more than 50 years. A publication that focuses on both research articles and news and information from around the region, The Southeastern Librarian continues to fill a niche that state and national publications cannot. The characteristics of the authors published in the journal have also changed over the years. A study of who is published in the journal is essential to understanding how it is currently impacting the field, especially in the southeastern United States. Authorship studies are an important bibliometric tool that examine publishing patterns …

Two Views On The Increasing Importance Of Library Access In The Seventeenth Century: Gabriel Naudé And Claude Clement, Erin M. Grant

Georgia Library Quarterly

Since their earliest days, libraries have struggled with meeting two opposing goals: preservation of materials and adequate user access to those same materials. Adequate user access to library materials includes physical access as well as providing a navigable system of organization that allows users to find needed materials. Although the privileging of access over preservation may seem like a modern concept, two seminal library treatises published a year apart in seventeenth-century France championed the issue of increased library access, especially by establishing usable organization in their respective collections: Gabriel Naudé’s Avis pour dresser une bibliothèque and Claude Clement’s Musei, sive …

Library Scavenger Hunts: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, Elizabeth G. Rugan, Muriel D. Nero

The Southeastern Librarian

In the past, the library scavenger hunt was thought of as a well-respected and effective method of library or information literacy instruction; however, the scavenger hunt’s glory days are over. Indeed, many academic librarians decry these hunts, often assigned by general education teaching faculty, as a waste of time or worse as a “turn off” for students from the library (Kearns 2006, Miller 2009). These despised scavenger hunts require students to wander around the library recording colors of books, asking inane questions to library staff, and using outdated or often unavailable resources. But are librarians ready to cast off the …

Freedom's Reading: The Discovery Of Two Alabama Freedom Libraries, Mike Selby

The Southeastern Librarian

Freedom Libraries were originally a product of ‘Freedom Summer’—the voting registration campaign launched by various civil rights organizations in Mississippi during the summer of 1964. Information about these libraries has been extremely limited, so much so that their very existence remains “virtually unknown even within the American library community” (Cook 3). This changed in 2008, when Karen Cook’s dissertation provided a comprehensive and exhaustive look at Mississippi Freedom Libraries. She positively identified over 80 different ones. While reading Cook’s work, I began to wonder if something similar had occurred in Alabama. After all, Alabama was ground zero during the Civil …
