No Boundaries: Creating Open Access Repositories For Academic Institutions, Keri Baker

To support and celebrate Nova Southeastern University’s 50th Anniversary, The NSU Libraries piloted a campus wide project to develop an institution-wide Open Access Repository called NSU Works.

Participation in this phase included establishing hierarchical structures for the collections, adding metadata (in all formats), troubleshooting, and marketing to the OC community. This presentation serves to provide information on this pilot project, identifying the steps required to start an institutional repository at an academic institution, giving a detailed SWOT …

Thesis Poster: Increasing Awareness, Usage, And Knowledge Of Digital, Local History Materials In Urban Public New Jersey Libraries With Libraryboxen., Benjamin H. Saracco

Twenty-first century libraries are digitizing more of their historical collections in recent years than ever before. However, much of this content is not being served to the local populations due to lack of awareness as well as the absence of a platform to deliver this content locally. The first part of this study identified populations in New Jersey that are located in areas with a rich historical past and also serve patrons that utilize their local public libraries to access the internet. The second part of this project sought an instructional technology that could be used to increase awareness, usage, …

“Because I’M Good Enough. I’M Smart Enough And Doggone It, People Like Me!”: Identifying And Overcoming Impostor Phenomenon In Library Managers, Elizabeth Martin

Elizabeth Martin

This poster presentation will reflect my research prospectus on the topic of Impostor Phenomenon (IP) in academic library managers and administrators. The poster will give an overview of IP and the literature found on the topic. It will demonstrate that while this topic is discussed and written about in other fields of higher education, there has been, up to this point, no mention of it as it relates to library management. The poster’s purpose is to explore whether IP is commonly found among library managers and administrators, as it is in other fields in higher education. Additionally, the poster will …

Public Libraries In The Lives Of Young Readers, Paulette Rothbauer, Virginia A. Walter, Kathleen Weibel

Paulette Rothbauer

Youth services in public libraries have always been characterized by good intentions and commitment to
patrons’ personal choice: to select, to question, and to know. The public library has changed and grown since

in their work on behalf of young library users, whether this involves summer programming or digital
media development. This chapter’s three scholars bring a wealth of public library experience to this endeavor,
as they describe the past, present, and future of public library service to young people in the …
