Branching Out: Consolidating An Interlibrary Loan Department Across Multiple Campuses With Illiad, Ashley T. Hoffman, Rosemary Humphrey, Caralia Gallagher

Ashley T. Hoffman

Interlibrary Loan departments are no stranger to collaboration between campuses. Therefore, when the consolidation of the two institutions of Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University was announced, their respective interlibrary loan departments rose to the challenge with - if not enthusiasm - optimism and the willingness to try new ideas and strategies to merge the two units. This presentation will cover the alternatives considered, strategies chosen, and the implementation process undertaken to create a unified interlibrary loan department across two campuses and four libraries using Atlas' ILLiad software. We will cover not only policy decisions but workflow procedures …

Gil Express & Ill: Odd Couple Or Match Made In Heaven?, Ashley T. Hoffman, Kiara Bynum, Monica Mclaurin

Ashley T. Hoffman

Since its creation in 2004, GIL Express has attempted to supplement traditional ILL services by providing a faster avenue for patrons to request and receive books. However, operating similar services from two different departments can lead to confusion for patrons and headaches for staff. For this project, we will analyze the methods employed by other schools in the USG system to improve the coordination of GIL Express and ILL services. We will present our findings as well as evaluate alternative solutions to streamline the process for both patrons and staff.

Your Library @ Home: Document Delivery For The Online Learner, Ashley T. Hoffman, Kiara Bynum Oct 2013

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 …

Ilibraries: Maintaining Relevancy In A Mobile World, Ariel K. Turner

An examination of a variety of current literature and studies related to the incorporation of mobile technologies is necessary to determine how best to tackle these challenges, and suggests several methods of incorporating mobile technologies into academic libraries. Such methods include exploring technical blogs or classes, learning from technologically savvy peers, including tablets or other mobile devices in the …

Thinking Style Differences Among Academic Librarians, Linda M. Golian-Lui Jan 1998

Thinking Style Differences Among Academic Librarians, Linda M. Golian-Lui

Linda M. Golian-Lui

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether differences in thinking styles exist between senior level library administrators working in public and technical service areas in libraries with an institutional membership in the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). To facilitate this investigation, the Inquiry Mode Questionnaire (InQ) and a demographic data form were distributed in a nation-wide survey. The study achieved an 80.3% (106) return rate, with a total of 97 surveys used for data analysis. The literature review is organized in three segments: definitional dilemma, theoretical framework, and review of previous research. The definitional dilemma addressed issues concerning …
