Springshare Mashups: Repurposing Digital Content, Jeffrey M. Mortimore, Ruth L. Baker
Springshare Mashups: Repurposing Digital Content, Jeffrey M. Mortimore, Ruth L. Baker
Library Faculty Presentations
How many research guides go neglected because we can’t keep up with all the stellar content we create for our patrons? As digital content producers, librarians are always looking for new ways to repurpose content for different audiences while streamlining content management. Fortunately, with the ongoing development of content management tools like Springshare LibGuides 2.0, the dream approaches reality. Presenters offer simple strategies (including naming, description, and chunking) for content creation and management that maximize opportunities for repurposing content across delivery platforms while keeping maintenance to a minimum. While this session focuses on LibGuides and LibAnswers, the content creation techniques …
Brave New World: Observations During The Early Transition Between Public And Academic Librarians, Jessica Garner
Brave New World: Observations During The Early Transition Between Public And Academic Librarians, Jessica Garner
Library Faculty Presentations
After a decade in public libraries, a move to the world of academic libraries is exciting, new and-sometimes-an exercise in learning how to see the world one is accustomed to as if it were suddenly turned slightly sideways. This discussion address the little differences a newcomer to academic libraries sees in the first months of an academic career and asks the audience to think about little details of their everyday business that may not be as little as they believe.
Well, That Took A While: An Anecdotal Comparison Of The Job Application Process Between Public And Academic Libraries, Jessica Garner
Well, That Took A While: An Anecdotal Comparison Of The Job Application Process Between Public And Academic Libraries, Jessica Garner
Library Faculty Presentations
When a position for Interlibrary Loan Librarian came open at Georgia Southern University in the latter part of 2015, I was intrigued. Although ensconced happily in a public library position and a 10-year veteran of public systems, the lure of an academic position-along with logistical considerations-prompted me to apply for the position. I believe my observations about the hiring, though anecdotal, begin to unravel a conversation comparing and contrasting academic libraries with public libraries, possibly to the benefit of both institutions.
Guides By The Side: The Role Of Technical Services In Information Literacy Instruction, Ruth L. Baker, Jeffrey M. Mortimore
Guides By The Side: The Role Of Technical Services In Information Literacy Instruction, Ruth L. Baker, Jeffrey M. Mortimore
Library Faculty Presentations
Presenters will explore the role of technical services in library instruction, specifically as this relates to the ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. This framework places emphasis on research as a highly contextual activity, where researcher practices and dispositions are linked to the communities of practice in which they occur. By extension, such communities exist and evolve semi-independently of any particular manifestation of library resources or services, meaning that libraries must be as prepared to accommodate autonomous practices and dispositions as they are to participate in shaping them. Technical services plays a significant role in determining how …
E-Team Workflow: A Case Study In Improving Electronic Access Troubleshooting, Debra G. Skinner
E-Team Workflow: A Case Study In Improving Electronic Access Troubleshooting, Debra G. Skinner
Library Faculty Presentations
This presentation will discuss a case study of revised workflows to improve Electronic Access Troubleshooting using a team approach in the Collection & Resources Department at Georgia Southern University. The e-Team was established first using an internal eTeam e-mail for communications among library staff and the eTeam, and evolved into a sophisticated system using a LibAnswers queue and FAQs for handling ERA issues. The revised workflow offers an organized and efficient process for electronic access issue reporting as well as rapid feedback to library staff and library users. The eTeam workflow has provided insight into the nature of electronic access …
Get The Eteam, Stat! Managing Era Troubleshooting Triage Tier By Tier, Jeffrey M. Mortimore
Get The Eteam, Stat! Managing Era Troubleshooting Triage Tier By Tier, Jeffrey M. Mortimore
Library Faculty Presentations
Triage of electronic resource access (ERA) troubleshooting takes planning and rarely is straightforward. Who reported the problem? How visible is it? How long will it take to resolve and who is involved? Without a good triage plan, ERA troubleshooting can spin out of control fast.
This poster session will present a three-part tiering scheme for performing triage on ERA troubleshooting requests reported to the eTeam, the ERA response team at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA. This framework evaluates requests in terms of 1) origin, scope and urgency of request; 2) required stakeholder input to resolve the request; and 3) …
