Not On The Same Page: Undergraduates’ Information Retrieval In Electronic And Print Books, Selinda Adelle Berg, Kristin Hoffmann, Diane Dawson
Western Libraries Publications
Academic libraries are increasingly collecting e-books, but little research has investigated how students use e-books compared to print texts. This study used a prompted think-aloud method to gain an understanding of the information retrieval behavior of students in both formats. Qualitative analysis identified themes that will inform instruction and collection practices.
Are Bibliographic Management Software Search Interfaces Reliable?: A Comparison Between Search Results Obtained Using Database Interfaces And The Endnote Online Search Function, Megan Fitzgibbons, Deborah Meert
Are Bibliographic Management Software Search Interfaces Reliable?: A Comparison Between Search Results Obtained Using Database Interfaces And The Endnote Online Search Function, Megan Fitzgibbons, Deborah Meert
Western Libraries Publications
The use of bibliographic management software and its internal search interfaces is now pervasive among researchers. This study compares the results between searches conducted in academic databases' search interfaces versus the EndNote search interface. The results show mixed search reliability, depending on the database and type of search performed.

Integrating Research Into Lis Field Experiences In Academic Libraries, Selinda Adelle Berg, Kristin Hoffmann, Diane Dawson
Integrating Research Into Lis Field Experiences In Academic Libraries, Selinda Adelle Berg, Kristin Hoffmann, Diane Dawson
Western Libraries Publications
Field experiences function as a link between LIS theory and practice. Students should be provided with an experience that is a true reflection of the professional environment. The increasing focus on research by academic librarians provides an opportunity and responsibility to integrate research into the field experiences of LIS students.

The Dawn Of The "Chaotic Account": Horatio Hale’S Australia Notebook And The Development Of Anthropologists’ Field Notes, Tom Belton
Western Libraries Publications
This paper proposes an archival analysis of notebooks, and their relationships to other parts of personal archives (e.g. journals or diaries). The bulk of the paper is an analysis of the historical development of a particular genre of notebooks: anthropological field notes, “chaotic accounts”, as Branislaw Manilnowski called them, based largely on observation. It provides a review of anthropologists’ own recent literature on the subject, and a short case study of a mid nineteenth century notebook of the American explorer/ethnographer Horatio Hale that serves as an example of one seed out of which anthropological field notes grew.
Information Literacy And Research-Intensive Graduate Students: Enhancing The Role Of Research Librarians, Marni R. Harrington
Information Literacy And Research-Intensive Graduate Students: Enhancing The Role Of Research Librarians, Marni R. Harrington
Western Libraries Publications
This article investigates how psychology graduate students find information for coursework and research, who teaches them how to find it, and whether differences emerge over the course of their graduate careers. Findings indicate that these graduate students are comfortable using campus libraries, prefer electronic resources, ask supervisors when they need assistance locating information, and have some interest in furthering their information literacy knowledge. Finally, the master’s students use different information management skills than do the PhD students, as evidenced by the use of bibliographic management software. Suggestions for furthering the role of research librarians focus on being more proactive, rather …
Measuring Quality In Chat Reference Consortia: A Comparative Analysis Of Responses To Users’ Queries, Deborah L. Meert, Lisa M. Given
Measuring Quality In Chat Reference Consortia: A Comparative Analysis Of Responses To Users’ Queries, Deborah L. Meert, Lisa M. Given
Western Libraries Publications
Academic libraries have experienced growing demand for 24/7 access
to resources and services. Despite the challenges and costs of chat
reference service and consortia, many libraries are finding the demand
for these services worth the cost. One key challenge is providing and
measuring quality of service, particularly in a consortia setting. This study
explores the quality of service provided in one academic library participating
in a 24/7 chat reference consortium, by assessing transcripts of
chat sessions using in-house reference quality standards. Findings point
to both similarities and differences between chat interactions of local
librarians versus consortia staff.

Interpreting Workplace Learning In Terms Of Discourse And Community Of Practice, Adrian K. Ho
Interpreting Workplace Learning In Terms Of Discourse And Community Of Practice, Adrian K. Ho
Western Libraries Publications
Based on the ethnographic data collected from the workplace of an academic library, I argue that workplace learning (WL) is a situated socio-cognitive process. It is expedited by knowledge management (KM), which is a collective effort to generate, share, and institutionalize work-related knowledge. KM is inherent in the face-to-face conversational interactions embedded in planned formal training, planned informal sharing, and spontaneous informal learning. When face-to-face interaction is not possible, KM is accomplished through textualization. It helps the members of the workplace acquire new work-related knowledge and integrate it to their common, contextualized knowledge base. The contents of the knowledge base …

Western Libraries Publications
Report of the Music Library Association's 65th Annual meeting, held at the Seattle Westin, February 5-1 1, 1996. The pre-conference Conservation Workshop, offered by Ted Honea of Sibley Library was invaluable and informative. Gerard Schwarz, Music Director of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra since 1983, described his indebtedness to music libraries, and how he devises programmes for the SSO. Other topics included: Brahmsiana; Managing Difficult People; Managing Technology; Teaching the 'Net; the Selling of Seattle Through Song; and Handel's Relationship with his Publishers.
