To Look Into The Abyss Unafraid: Being A Tale Of A Newly Hired Systems Librarian Teaming Up With A Library Director To Purge The Demons Hiding In A Very Old Web Server, Edward Iglesias, Dawn Emsellem
To Look Into The Abyss Unafraid: Being A Tale Of A Newly Hired Systems Librarian Teaming Up With A Library Director To Purge The Demons Hiding In A Very Old Web Server, Edward Iglesias, Dawn Emsellem
ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference
Upon being hired in May 2022 as a Systems and Technology librarian presenter Iglesias had the unenviable task of taking over management of Salve University Library's web server. Although the Internet Archive lists its first snapshot of this url as being in 2000, there is evidence of an older, more chaotic past. From a Unix server of some sort to a Microsoft box that just had all of the files loaded on with no thought to directory structure leaving tantalizing clues everywhere from old directories to flash files now deprecated.
Obviously there was a need to get rid of the …

What Went Wrong: Reflections On A Teaching With Technology Failure, Amy Barlow
What Went Wrong: Reflections On A Teaching With Technology Failure, Amy Barlow
ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference
When functioning properly, interactive learning modules are great for student engagement, but when the technology falls short, precious class time is wasted and learning objectives may go unmet. This speaker will tell the story of how a clerical error resulted in a technological meltdown during library instruction. She will share how she came to view the incident as a useful failure because she learned to: Accept that not every problem can be anticipated; always have a Plan B; and be patient with tech support. More than that, she came to realize that testing web-based learning modules in class is a …
The Game Of Library Tetris: Using A Shelf Address System, Judy Quist, Rachel Gogan
The Game Of Library Tetris: Using A Shelf Address System, Judy Quist, Rachel Gogan
ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference
Having to constantly shift materials to make space while maintaining call number order can be challenging and time consuming, particularly when needing to move materials quickly. Most of the library literature around alternative shelving systems is focused on user experience and resource discoverability. A shelf address system makes it easier for library professionals to quickly organize and locate items, making it an ideal choice for a staff only area. Using a shelf based address system allows quick insertion of materials into any available shelf space without worrying about call number order, but it also comes with its own set of …

Emphasis will be on license negotiations that fell short, delivered mixed results, or might have ended badly due to either the vendor or the librarian exhibiting risky, careless, or improper negotiation behavior. We will be constructive. We’ll flip …

The Ballad Of The Textbook Annex, Sharon H. Domier
ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference
Do you remember the theme song for Gilligan's Island? Imagine this in a project setting where a large number of library materials were contracted to be moved to storage in a very quick time-frame, only to discover that a significant number of them were not in the inventory system. A perfect storm of the effects of earlier uncompleted projects, poor implementation planning, quick decisions, and outside challenges threatened to sink our ship. Only the heroic efforts and flexibility of all involved managed to get us to shore without drowning or killing each other. The lessons learned will ensure that we …
