Camino is administrated by a user group which sets policies and procedures and guides implementation for new members.

Redesigning Freshman Seminar Library Instruction Based On Information Competencies, Elizabeth Parang, Melinda Raine, Trisha Medeiros Dec 1999

Redesigning Freshman Seminar Library Instruction Based On Information Competencies, Elizabeth Parang, Melinda Raine, Trisha Medeiros

Elizabeth Parang

During summer 1997, instruction librarians at Pepperdine University's Payson Library began restructuring Freshman seminar library instruction sessions because they observed that students were not acquiring the needed library and information literacy skills. Too much material was being presented in too short a time with no opportunity for hands-on experience.

Maximizing The Web For Serialists: New Tools For A New Millennium: Using The Web For The Public [Preconference Report], Elizabeth Parang, Michelle Flinchbaug, Robb Waltner

Elizabeth Parang

The Web can be a great tool for bibliographic instruction, publicizing a library's collection and increasing its use. It is also invaluable for serials-related reference work. This session looked at how public services librarians and other serialists with similar responsibilities can make the Web work for them. Participants created a professional or departmental home page that could be used in serials-oriented public services. Techniques covered included using various search engines, embedding third-party search engines into a Web page, using lists and tables, simple forms and some of the newer and less common HTML tags.

Using Focus Groups To Match User Expectations With Library Constraints [Workshop Report], Elizabeth Parang, Sheryl Williams

Elizabeth Parang

Focus groups can furnish needed user input in a short time frame. The issues to be discussed must be clearly identified and questions formulated. Appropriate participants can then be selected. Care should be exercised in selecting a facilitator, a meeting location, and recording equipment. Sessions transcripts can be readily analyzed using a matrix which can then be utilized to compile a written report summarizing both the overwhelming feeling of group and other points brought out.
