Visualization On The Big Screen: Hands-On Immersive Environments Designed For Student And Faculty Collaboration, Bryan Sinclair, Jill Sexton, Joseph Hurley
University Library Faculty Presentations
Large-scale panoramic displays designed for collaboration can change users’ perspective and reframe and amplify digital content in a shared pixel space. Many universities have implemented large-scale displays, but they are often in areas that restrict access to the equipment and require staff mediation for use. Additionally, dedicated staff may be required to program content for the walls, limiting the variety of content displayed. This presentation covers efforts at the libraries at Georgia State University and the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill to implement immersive display technologies that allow unmediated patron access and reduce the amount of staff …

What Counts? Assessing The Value Of Non-Text Resources, Tammy Sugarman, Stephanie Krueger
University Library Faculty Presentations
In this era of tightening budgets, librarians are increasingly turning to usage data from licensed resource providers to support difficult collection development decisions. The most recent release of the COUNTER code of practice for usage data reporting and the SUSHI XML protocol further support this decision-making process. Providing "COUNTER compliant" usage reports is an increasingly important feature expected of licensed digital materials by academic libraries. COUNTER reports are designed to primarily measure usage of textual resources such as: journals, e-books and database indexes. However, for multimedia resources that contain exclusively images, time-based media, or audio content, the usage patterns and …
Developing Effective Scholarly Communication Advocates: The Experiences Of Three University Librarians In Developing Scholarly Communication Programs, Sara N. Fuchs
University Library Faculty Presentations
Libraries are broadening their involvement in the scholarly communication process by advocating author rights and open-access publishing, as well as providing researchers with digital services, such as institutional repositories and e-publishing programs. Academic librarians are in a good position to help raise awareness on their campuses of important scholarly communication training and outreach programs. By training those who work most closely with faculty, libraries are more likely to develop effective scholarly communication advocates. Thus prepared, librarians and library staff can better inform faculty members about their individual and collective options regarding scholarly communication issues.
