Review Of Staff Development On A Shoestring, Kirstin Duffin
Review Of Staff Development On A Shoestring, Kirstin Duffin
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Budgets are tight, yet it remains important for library staff members to keep current with evolving technologies and improve their skills in providing services to library users. Staff development programs can spark creativity, increase motivation, and augment productivity. In these lean times, Marcia Trotta provides guidance on how to maintain library staff development opportunities. Trotta is a consultant and adult program coordinator of the Connecticut Humanities Council. She is a retired public library director and has written a number of books on library management-related issues.
Lolcats And Celebrities And (Red Panda) Bears – Oh, My!, Mary T. Moser
Lolcats And Celebrities And (Red Panda) Bears – Oh, My!, Mary T. Moser
LOEX Conference Proceedings 2010
Getting - and keeping - students' attention during library instruction sessions is an increasingly Herculean task. We all know the best practices for teaching: be engaging, ask questions, provide opportunities for active learning. But what if those techniques just aren't enough? By experimenting wildly with the presentation of my library instruction sessions, I have found that a lot of teaching power lies within the unexpected. Often, topics with very little direct correlation to libraries make interesting and engaging platforms for teaching information literacy concepts. Some of the add-ons I have used in classes include: slideshows of LOLcat pictures to impart …

Review Of Information Need: A Theory Connecting Information Search To Knowledge Formation, Kirstin Duffin
Review Of Information Need: A Theory Connecting Information Search To Knowledge Formation, Kirstin Duffin
Kirstin Duffin
In this book, Cole attempts to establish a framework for the information searching process. Cole analyzes information need from the perspectives of both information science and computer science. Where information science considers the need as sensory (perceptual-cognitive), computer science views information need as mechanical (input-output). The book, one in the ASIST Monograph Series, is a conceptual work that presents a systematic overview of users’ information retrieval practices.

Social Media For Academic Libraries, David J. Fiander
FIMS Publications
This chapter discusses the value of the academic library engaging with its users via social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. The chapter provides some background on research into how libraries have experimented with using Facebook for outreach and how the user community has responded. It gives a brief outline of the process for creating a rich Facebook page for an academic library system and tips for how to market a Facebook page or Twitter account, and how to use social media accounts to promote the library’s services. Finally, it provides some guidance for how an academic library should think …
A Library Is Not The Books: An Ethical Obstacle To The Digital Library, James M. Donovan
A Library Is Not The Books: An Ethical Obstacle To The Digital Library, James M. Donovan
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Casual and thoughtful speakers alike frequently use “library” as though it were the collective noun for “book”: A herd of cows, a murder of crows, a library of books. In practice it matters little whether “book” is understood as a specific physical artifact of ink and paper, or whether it refers more generically to any information-containing entity. The consistent point appears to be that in the presence of a sufficient number of those items, a library necessarily rises into existence.
This implied relationship proves critical to debates over the implications of digital formats for libraries. If libraries are reducible to …

Congratulations! You've Landed An Interview: What Do Hiring Committees Really Want?, Megan Hodge, Nicole Spoor
VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications
Purpose – Although the job market remains extremely competitive for entry-level librarian positions, only individual, anecdotal stories of what hiring committees are looking for in the candidates they invite to interview currently exist; no formal studies have been conducted since the recession began in early 2008. This survey was created with the aim of allowing those with recent experience on hiring committees to provide advice to those on the market for entry-level public and academic librarian positions and to answer what are, for many job-seekers, burning questions.
Design/methodology/approach – This is an exploratory study designed to give librarians with hiring …

The Learning Narrative Within Libraries, Rick A. Stoddart
The Learning Narrative Within Libraries, Rick A. Stoddart
Rick A Stoddart
Our libraries iare rich with stories and we all play a part in enacting each storyline. Each narrative we embrace helps illuminate what we value and how we go about describing that value. This lightning talk will use the OSU Learning Goals for Graduates to highlight the learning narrative within libraries. The talk will provide inspiration about how this story might inform our understanding of the library and what role we might play together in writing its next chapter.
