According to a National Academy of Sciences working group investigating the mental health crises in higher education, student wellbeing is an issue that needs to be addressed at the campus level, not siloed in specified departments and units. University libraries can be an integral part of student wellness initiatives, and this poster presentation will present one academic library’s engagement in student wellness initiatives. This poster will:
-
Highlight the ways campus partnerships facilitated streamlined library engagement in student wellness
-
Identify student centric initiatives and acquisitions
-
Identify funding sources used for those initiatives and acquisitions
-
Discuss outcomes of library wellness initiatives.

Searching For Tūpuna, Nicola Andrews
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture opened the “Pacific Voices” exhibition in 1997, a community-led exhibition of Indigenous cultures throughout the Pacific Rim, including Māori. Twenty years later, Nicola Andrews, a Ngāti Pāoa Māori student at the University of Washington, serendipitously visited the Burke and began collaborating with the museum to reframe taonga (treasure, anything prized) descriptions in its catalogue and physical spaces. The Burke collection also includes 962 Māori photographs spanning the 19th century, which were removed from Aotearoa New Zealand and donated to the museum in 1953. These
photographs had been digitized but not published, …

Foundations Of Transgender Solidarity In Library Instruction, Amy Gilgan
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
This interactive workshop will provide an introduction to building inclusive library instruction for transgender and gender non-conforming students. Participants will ground themselves in an understanding of how their core values relate to trans* liberation and learn strategies for translating those values to the classroom. Through the lens of Jackson and Hardiman’s Social Identity Development Model (1997), participants will explore how sitting with discomfort and accountability increases capacity for trans* allyship.

It's Not Imposter Syndrome: Resisting Self-Doubt As Normal For Library Workers, Nicola Andrews
It's Not Imposter Syndrome: Resisting Self-Doubt As Normal For Library Workers, Nicola Andrews
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Library workers, as with other professions, are quick to diagnose ourselves and others with imposter syndrome when we doubt or devalue our everyday work. However, methods of coping with imposter syndrome have changed little in the forty years since the term was first theorized, and often centre on feel-good fixes which do not address power imbalances between the sufferer and their workplace environment. Here, I examine the origins of imposter syndrome, and identify factors often misinterpreted as imposter syndrome but which are instead the product of oppressions such as precarious labour, racism, and sexism. By unpacking how oppression and gaslighting …

Building Strategic Consensus: A Grassroots Planning Process, Shawn P. Calhoun, Erika Johnson
Building Strategic Consensus: A Grassroots Planning Process, Shawn P. Calhoun, Erika Johnson
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Many strategic plans start from a top-down approach, with a committee or key group of stakeholders making decisions affecting the entire organization. While the process of developing and implementing a comprehensive strategic plan requires significant tactical work, it can also foster a more inclusive, staff-centered organization. The Gleeson Library | Geschke Learning Resource Center at the University of San Francisco has just completed its first library-wide strategic plan. In alignment with our values and mission, we intentionally chose a more democratic, grass-roots process designed to build consensus and foster inclusivity by engaging and empowering staff across all departments.

Where They Lead, I Will Follow: Serving Remote Graduate Student Populations, Penny Scott
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
In 2012, the University of San Francisco's School of Management underwent a monumental change in both location and student access to academic services. In that year, all classes and most staff and student services for the MBA and other business graduate programs were relocated to a new site near the Financial District, which is across the city from the main campus. Suddenly, a major group of my service population was no longer on campus near me or near the library! In this poster, I will describe the process I undertook to remain visible and accessible to this important group of …

In 1996, the Linköping City Library in Sweden was destroyed by arson. Many materials were lost or very badly damaged. This paper looks at the circumstances that caused the fire to be so destructive in such a short amount of time and how the librarians at Linköping City Library worked to save the items that remained.

Selecting A Journal For Your Manuscript: A 4-Step Process, Claire Olivia Sharifi, Robin Buccheri
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Background Identifying the most appropriate journal for a manuscript can be challenging for both experienced and novice nurse authors. Several factors should be considered when selecting a journal (e.g., peer-reviewed, target audience, type of manuscripts accepted, type of copyright and publishing model used). Selecting the most appropriate journal can save time for both authors and publishers.
Purpose The purpose of this article is to provide nurses, particularly those new to scholarly publishing, with clear, plain language guidance on the processes and considerations involved in selecting a journal for publication.
Methods A librarian and a nurse educator collaborated to develop an …

Throw Out Your Books: Designing Libraries For Their New Roles, Shawn P. Calhoun, Karen A. Cribbins-Kulkin, Joey Favaloro
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Designing libraries based on student experience rather than book storage provides the potential to cater to a wider variety of students and learning styles, transforming libraries from an afterthought for prospective students to an asset for recruitment. This session will use recent library projects to study the effect of major program shifts on student behavior and discourse. We will look at both larger capital improvement projects and “small wins” that can be readily executed.
Learning Outcomes
- Pilot small library design projects on campus to see how students react and engage.
- Create a dialogue with library administrators and admissions/recruitment professionals to …

Critical Librarianship In Health Sciences Libraries: An Introduction, Claire Sharifi, Jill Barr-Walker
Critical Librarianship In Health Sciences Libraries: An Introduction, Claire Sharifi, Jill Barr-Walker
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
The Medical Library Association recently announced its commitment to diversity and inclusion. While this is a positive start, critical librarianship takes the crucial concepts of diversity and inclusion one step further by advocating for social justice action and the dismantling of oppressive institutional structures, including white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism. Critical librarianship takes many forms but, at its root, is focused on interrogating and disrupting inequitable systems, including changing racist cataloging rules, creating student-driven information literacy instruction, supporting inclusive and ethical publishing models, and rejecting the notion of libraries as neutral spaces. This article presents examples of the application of …
Critical Appraisal Tools And Reporting Guidelines For Evidence-Based Practice, Robin Buccheri, Claire Olivia Sharifi
Critical Appraisal Tools And Reporting Guidelines For Evidence-Based Practice, Robin Buccheri, Claire Olivia Sharifi
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Background: Nurses engaged in evidence-based practice (EBP) have two important sets of tools: Critical appraisal tools and reporting guidelines. Critical appraisal tools facilitate the appraisal process and guide a consumer of evidence through an objective, analytical, evaluation process. Reporting guidelines, checklists of items that should be included in a publication or report, ensure that the project or guidelines are reported on with clarity, completeness, and transparency. Purpose The primary purpose of this paper is to help nurses understand the difference between critical appraisal tools and reporting guidelines. A secondary purpose is to help nurses locate the appropriate tool for the …

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Three universities (Santa Clara University, University of San Francisco, Loyola Marymount University) have engaged in a multi-year project to leverage patron-initiated inter-library borrowing data to inform collection development. We now have three years of analyzing data for inter-library borrowing, spending, and circulation of local collections. In addition to establishing what a “normal” level of borrowing looks like, we have used this data to identify and fix gaps in our local collections; we also now have data on subsequent circulations of titles purchased as a result of this project. One original goal of the project was to strengthen the meta-collection of …

Three universities (Santa Clara University, the University of San Francisco, Loyola Marymount University) are leveraging patron-initiated borrowing data to inform our collection development. Expanding on a pilot project that began in 2014, we have been looking at five years of recent borrowing data, along with five years of acquisition data and five years of circulation data of local collections, to help us define what a "normal" level of borrowing looks like as well as identify gaps in local collections. We are also using the data to strengthen the meta-collection of our consortium (LINK+) through the intentional and coordinated diversification of …

Agents Of Diversity And Social Justice: Librarians And Scholarly Communication, Charlotte Roh, Harrison Inefuku
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
This chapter considers diversity broadly to mean a variety of perspectives, whether grounded in race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, or disciplinary study. It begins with a description of the current environment of scholarly communication, looking at the demographics and state of affairs in academia, publishing, and librarianship, including how biases present in all three fields affect scholarly communication. It then moves to a consideration of how librarians and library publishing programs can transform scholarly communication. By adopting a social justice perspective--actively working against ignorance and indifference to reduce systematic biases and injustice in academia, publishing, and librarianship- academic …

All Of The Responsibility, None Of The Authority, Rice Majors, Erika Johnson
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
This will be an interactive session for people who manage an acquisitions budget but don't manage the corresponding personnel who select materials (e.g. subject librarians). How do you encourage appropriate collection development decisions? How do you help revision collection development for long-time employees, or get others to change their workflows to be more efficient? How do you encourage subject librarians to make data-driven decisions? Attendees will work in groups and participate in role playing scenarios to develop strategies for working with colleagues without having explicit authority over those colleagues' work.

Institutional Repositories In The Czech Republic, Kelci Baughman Mcdowell
Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
This research project examines the use of institutional repositories (IRs) by academic and research institutions in the Czech Republic. Six Czech institutional repositories are examined in context with the open access (OA) movement in the US and Europe in order to identify what goals have been achieved, what challenges lie ahead, and how the IR functions within the academic ecosystem. IR development in the Czech Republic has been driven by a government statute to provide electronic access to theses and dissertations (ETDs), yet five out of the six IRs hold more content than ETDs alone. Despite not being totally OA, …

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Santa Clara University and the University of San Francisco are leveraging patron-initiated borrowing data to create a deeper and more browse-able collection in certain subject areas where patrons have shown interest. This same ILL data has also been used to strengthen the meta-collection of our consortium (LINK+) through the intentional and coordinated diversification of approval plan profiles. When we began looking at our patron-initiated borrowing data, we could see that there are call number ranges where one or both universities borrow frequently. We will discuss both methodology and preliminary findings: how this data is being gathered, analyzed, and then used …
