"The Future Of Libraries", Paul A. Roberts
The Christian Librarian
Prompted by the article by Dan Cohen (2019), this essay will explore the possibilities of reversing the trend that Dr. Cohen presented and offer a solution that turned the library statistics of one library around dramatically. To change the habits of patron usage, faculty will need to work with the library to make it happen.

"Teaching Discernment In A World That Eschews Truth", Amy Bessin
The Christian Librarian
College students today have the harrowing task of sifting through massive amounts of information that no longer fits into nice, neat categories. The role of the librarian has shifted along with the information landscape, from the role of information gatekeeper to information guide. As information has become more prolific and accessible, it is more important than ever to teach students how to evaluate the information they discover to determine whether it is appropriate and relevant for their information need. In a world filled with fake news and constructed realities, the idea that truth has value, let alone exists, can seem …

"Contextualized Digital Library Evaluation: The Perseus Digital Library Within Theological Research", Paul Hartog
The Christian Librarian
As the development of digital libraries increases, the growth has been accompanied by a refinement of evaluation criteria and methods. Evaluators are increasingly aware that the context of digital library usage (the social, cultural, academic, and institutional environments of the users) is an essential consideration of effective assessment. This article evaluates the Perseus Digital Library through the needs and objectives of a specific learning community – those engaged in theological research. After a review of relevant literature, a rationale is given for ranking ten key facets of digital library evaluation by order of importance. These criteria are then applied to …
"When Good Intentions Aren't Good Enough: Signs Of Successful Archives", Joseph Coates
"When Good Intentions Aren't Good Enough: Signs Of Successful Archives", Joseph Coates
The Christian Librarian
In 2007, Calumet College of Saint Joseph decided to start a University Archives with the intention of preserving their institutional history. In 2009, they added the Bishop Andrew Grutka papers, with the intention of using this collection as the keystone for the archives. While this project had plenty of spiritual support, the institution failed to realize a few key concepts, such as funding, staffing, and what an archive does for a university. They also failed to see what makes an archive an archive. In the end, the archives were only around for about 5 years before being packed into the …

"Assessing The Library: A Christian Liberal Arts College's Library-Wide Assessment Project", Amy James
The Christian Librarian
This article reports on a library-wide assessment project at Spring Arbor University’s White Library. It highlights the methods used to assess each element, along with a recap of the findings, and a section covering the successes and caveats. The library’s website was evaluated using a focus group strategy where users completed a set of tasks using the website. The physical space was evaluated using a whiteboard approach. The freshman research instruction program at the White Library consists of one and two shot library sessions. The current teaching approach was assessed using “muddiest point cards”along with surveys.
