Western Libraries, an academic library with an FTE of 34,000, and Ingram Coutts, have worked together to implement an e-preferred Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA) program at Western Libraries. This implementation has required collaboration between Coutts and Western Libraries collection librarians to develop effective profiles. These profiles allow the PDA collection to be filtered according to subject and non-subject parameters. There are several aspects of this project that make it unique. First, every e-book that is selected by a PDA-preferred profile will automatically be loaded into the catalogue for PDA. Patrons will trigger a purchase if the book is accessed twice. …

Managing E-Publishing: Perfect Harmony For Serialists, Wendy Robertson, Charlene N. Simser
Managing E-Publishing: Perfect Harmony For Serialists, Wendy Robertson, Charlene N. Simser
Wendy C Robertson
Serialist as publisher - a great duet? Serialists’ lives at academic libraries revolve around publishing, publication patterns and terminology, and technology. Join us for a session with two serialists who use skills honed in their respective serials departments to see how those skills adapt to the world of e-publishing. In this session, the presenters will discuss their roles in e-publishing and their respective university presses and library publishing programs. How have their libraries reorganized to provide resources for supporting these new roles? The daily work of an e-publishing librarian will be reviewed, including an overview of working with Digital Commons …
Implementing Oclc's Wms (Web-Scale Management Services) Circulation At Pepperdine University Powerpoint, Sally Bryant, Gan Ye
Implementing Oclc's Wms (Web-Scale Management Services) Circulation At Pepperdine University Powerpoint, Sally Bryant, Gan Ye
Sally Bryant
This presentation covers the reasons why Pepperdine University Libraries decided to move to the next-generation technology of WMS as our library system. WMS is an integrated library system hosted by OCLC that is “in the cloud.” Pepperdine was one of the first libraries to go live with WMS, and in this presentation we focus on implementation process, circulation, course reserves and holds. Although WMS is not a perfect system, we believe that libraries are poised to benefit from the next generation of library systems, such as WMS.

Presentation For Marshall University Institutional Repository Proposal, Jingping Zhang, Edward Aractingi, Gretchen Rae Beach, Nathaniel Debruin, Paula Kaplan, Thomas Walker
Presentation For Marshall University Institutional Repository Proposal, Jingping Zhang, Edward Aractingi, Gretchen Rae Beach, Nathaniel Debruin, Paula Kaplan, Thomas Walker
Gretchen Rae Beach
The purpose of this proposal is to identify the need for establishing an Institutional Repository at Marshall University to facilitate the collection, preservation, and dissemination of the intellectual output of the students, faculty, and administrative offices of the University. Institutional Repositories (IRs) provide a digital ‘storehouse’ for academic institutions to house a wide variety of scholarly material created by students, faculty, and administrators. They also provide a readily accessible depository for selected archival material, video and still images, current news and events, procedural and policy guidelines, and other information that benefits the university community and other users, including the public. …

Who Uses This Stuff, Anyway?, Andrew Wesolek
Who Uses This Stuff, Anyway?, Andrew Wesolek
Andrew Wesolek
A great deal of the professional literature is devoted to developing content and faculty buy-in for institutional repositories. However, little is known about the end users of these repositories. This is unfortunate since great content is of little value if no one uses it and knowing more about users and their needs leads to more relevant content. So, we need to ask ourselves: "Who exactly is using this stuff, anyway?" Since 2010, Utah State University has begun surveying its IR users to answer this question. DigitalCommons@USU houses more than 26,000 documents with full-text downloads of over 800,000. With this much …
Correcting Accidentals: Using An Availability Study To Identify And Resolve The "Suspensions" Impeding Access To Electronic Resources, Sanjeet Mann
Sanjeet Mann
This is the online, archived version of a poster I presented at the 27th Annual NASIG Conference in Nashville, TN on June 9, 2012. Availability studies are a time-honored method of diagnosing problems with library systems and services that have recently been applied to electronic resources management. This poster reports the results of an availability study conducted on electronic resource access during the 2011-2012 academic year at the University of Redlands in Southern California. The author used reference desk statistics to identify typical research topics in ten disciplines spanning the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, and used the topics to …
Intellectual Property And Attribution In A Cross-Cultural Context: Understanding International Students’ Attitudes Towards Citation And Plagiarism, Christopher A. Sweet
Intellectual Property And Attribution In A Cross-Cultural Context: Understanding International Students’ Attitudes Towards Citation And Plagiarism, Christopher A. Sweet
Christopher A. Sweet
Beliefs regarding intellectual property and attribution in the United States vary greatly from those held in other parts of the world. International Students studying in the U.S. for the first time often struggle in writing classes with the when, why, and how of academic attribution and citation. Following the cultural norms of their home countries, these students often end up unintentionally plagiarizing portions of their writing. This presentation will examine cultural variations in regards to intellectual property and attribution. It will also provide guidelines for helping instructors and librarians who work with international students in writing courses.

Assessing The Strategic Credibility Of Special Collections, Erin Passehl, Rick A. Stoddart
Assessing The Strategic Credibility Of Special Collections, Erin Passehl, Rick A. Stoddart
Rick A Stoddart
In this time of often precarious funding at many colleges and universities, any case that can be made to illustrate how a department strategically fits into the overall university mission is not only worth merit, but an essential survival technique. This “strategic credibility” within the university is a vital form of currency in determining institution-wide resources prioritization, collaboration opportunities between organizational units, and overall direction of departments. This paper presents a case study of academic special collections in the Northwest and examines the methods these departments use to demonstrate value to the university. This paper considers how well do special …
The Role Of Information Literacy In Service Learning Courses: A Case Study And Best Practices, Christopher A. Sweet
The Role Of Information Literacy In Service Learning Courses: A Case Study And Best Practices, Christopher A. Sweet
Christopher A. Sweet
Service Learning is a quickly growing movement within higher education that empowers students to utilize classroom knowledge to solve a problem or effect a change within their local community. Information Literacy is critical for getting students to understand the “why” and “how” that should ground all service learning projects.
This presentation will begin with an overview of the service learning movement. Next, I will present a case study of my experiences as an embedded librarian in an Environmental Studies Senior Seminar. The presentation will conclude with a summary of emerging best practices for incorporating information literacy into service learning courses.
