Utilizing The Power Of Continuous Process Improvement In Technical Services, Lisa A. Palmer, Barbara C. Ingrassia
Lisa A. Palmer
In summer 2003 the Lamar Soutter Library initiated a Continuous Process Improvement project. The project’s goal was to reduce time and/or save money by examining and improving work processes. The charge for the Technical Services team was to reduce turnaroud time of certain processes by 50% or more, including (1) book acquisitions (from order to shelving) and (2) implementation of serials title changes. The team utilized value-added flow analysis to examine the processes and then did a six-month pilot project testing their recommendations.
The Team met weekly over four months to identify the specific steps involved in each process, review …

The Use Of Portal Technology In Library User Education, James A. Van Fleet, B Stockland
James A. Van Fleet
Introduction: During the summer of 2004 Information Services and Resources (ISR) at Bucknell University installed both the Sirsi Rooms software and SCT Luminis Portal software. These web-based portals have allowed us to make profound changes to our web presence and web-based services. In addition, they have changed the way we provide library user education to undergraduate students, from freshman seminars to engineering senior design courses.

Evaluating An It Help Desk: An Assessment Report, Fredrick Miller
Fred Miller
This is a report on what we learned as part of a recent assessment of the Information Technology Help Desk at Illinois Wesleyan University. The evaluation examined the services and operation of the Help Desk. It looked at existing data, and collected original data from a brief survey of our campus community. While a good percentage of our campus community is satisfied with technology services, we found that many, particularly students, want service improvements.

Open Access Or Differential Pricing For Journals: The Road Best Traveled?, David Stern
Open Access Or Differential Pricing For Journals: The Road Best Traveled?, David Stern
David Stern
Open access (OA) is becoming a reality, with new cost models under development. The various cost models will have serious short- and long-term implications for libraries and dangerously impact the scholarly communication network. I believe that the adoption of the OA model for journals will create serious instabilities within the existing scholarly publication industry. OA, as a business model, is neither necessary nor desirable. With or without the often-discussed author charges approach, it would be almost impossible to obtain the same amount of total revenue through selected libraries as now exists from the much larger base of library subscriptions. Tiered …

Teaching Roles Of Librarians: New Variations, Melissa Harvey
Missy Harvey
Librarians have had to adapt in many ways over the last 20 years, and approaches to teaching information literacy have had to be modified. Not only do we have to think about online, 24/7 access to digital resources both inside and outside of the library, we often have to look at the larger role of our impact on workers in the digital economy.
Law's Box: Law, Jurisprudence And The Information Ecosphere, Paul D. Callister
Law's Box: Law, Jurisprudence And The Information Ecosphere, Paul D. Callister
Paul D. Callister
For so long as it has been important to know “what the law is,” the practice of law has been an information profession. Nonetheless, just how the information ecosphere affects legal discourse and thinking has never been systematically studied. Legal scholars study how law attempts to regulate information flow, but they say little about how information limits, shapes, and provides a medium for law to operate.
Part I of the paper introduces a holistic approach to “medium theory”—the idea that methods of communication influence social development and ideology—and applies the theory to the development of legal thinking and institutions. Part …
