Library Scholarship
A chapter in the The Sustainable Library’s Cookbook. It discusses a two-part educational approach using newsletters and a series of lunch-and-learn presentations, which also promote and advance the sustainability of the library.
It's Automagic Technically Once The Stars Align : 3rd Party Integrations, Import And Publishing Profiles With Alma, David W. Schuster, Marian Stern
It's Automagic Technically Once The Stars Align : 3rd Party Integrations, Import And Publishing Profiles With Alma, David W. Schuster, Marian Stern
Library Scholarship
This presentation at ENUG(ExLibris Users from the Northeast US) discussed several integrations that Binghamton University has accomplished in the 5 months since they went live. New Self Check system from Bintech replacing bibliotheca units. Integrating with the Banner system for Faculty, Student, and staff loads and exporting fines and fee information to Banner. Publishing to Google Scholar, OCLC and other systems to automate updating of content to these services. Also discussed was how to load content into Primo VE.
Natural Medicines, Neyda V. Gilman
Natural Medicines, Neyda V. Gilman
Library Scholarship
Natural Medicines is a robust and authoritative resource for information related to complementary and alternative medicines, natural therapies, natural ingredients, and natural products. The content is evidence-based with the aim of being as objective and unbiased as possible, and monographs in the database include references for the information provided (Natural Medicines 2019a). It is a fee-based subscription product, but pricing is generally fair and it can be bundled with other resources of interest. There are some inconveniences, such as not working with discovery services or allowing Boolean or quotation searching, but overall the database is easy to use, reliable, and …
Carts In The Hallway: Cataloging And Special Collections–A Partnership For Success, David Schuster, Rachel Turner
Carts In The Hallway: Cataloging And Special Collections–A Partnership For Success, David Schuster, Rachel Turner
Library Scholarship
The purpose of the article is to demonstrate how Binghamton University Libraries has changed the workflows and channels of communication between Special Collections and the Technical Services Department. Over the last two years these departments have worked to foster cooperative decision making in order to increase understanding of project priorities and allow for more efficient cataloging, leading to greater accessibility of Special Collections items. The article also looks at how this relationship can be expanded upon in the future, so that cataloging/metadata librarians and Special Collections staff and librarians can work together to create better access to materials.
Rosetta Initiatives At Binghamton University Libraries, Erin Rushton, Jesse Russell, David Schuster
Rosetta Initiatives At Binghamton University Libraries, Erin Rushton, Jesse Russell, David Schuster
Library Scholarship
During this presentation, we will describe some projects we have been working on: 1. Alma/Rosetta Integration: We are migrating to Alma along with 64 other SUNY campuses in July 2019. As part of this migration, we are planning to integrate Rosetta with Alma. We will discuss our progress with this project and any challenges we encountered. 2. Kitodo/Rosetta Integration: Kitodo is software designed to control and monitor all stages of digitization projects. It is primarily used by German Libraries and has not yet been installed in the US. We are hoping to set up Kitodo so that we can improve …
Citation Management Tools, Undergraduate Research Practices, And The Myth Of The Digital Native, Julia Glauberman
Citation Management Tools, Undergraduate Research Practices, And The Myth Of The Digital Native, Julia Glauberman
Library Scholarship
In an ideal world, citation management tools save researchers time by keeping content organized and automating rote tasks, a feat made possible by technological progress and a common set of workflows and habits of mind shared by all researchers. Unfortunately, we don’t live in an ideal world. Instead, we live in a world where citation management tools are prone to error, and a wide gulf separates the practices of novice researchers from those of expert researchers. Promoting citation management tools uncritically, without considering how they fit into students’ research processes, may undermine librarians’ ability to effectively help students. This problem …
Analysis For Science Librarians Of The 2018 Nobel Prize In Physiology Or Medicine: The Life And Work Of James P. Allison And Tasuku Honjo, Neyda V. Gilman
Analysis For Science Librarians Of The 2018 Nobel Prize In Physiology Or Medicine: The Life And Work Of James P. Allison And Tasuku Honjo, Neyda V. Gilman
Library Scholarship
On October 1, 2018, James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo were awarded the 2018 Physiology or Medicine Nobel for their work leading to Immune Checkpoint Inhibition (ICI). ICI is the fourth pillar of cancer treatment and has been used to treat previously un-treatable cancers. Allison discovered that the protein CTLA-4 acts as a T cell brake while Honjo discovered another T cell brake, PD-1. Releasing these brakes allows the immune system to attack tumors, sometimes leading to complete elimination. While there is still more research to be done, Allison’s and Honjo’s work is a breakthrough in cancer immunotherapy.
