Well-Behaved Librarians Rarely Make History: Juliette Hampton Morgan And Alabama Librarianship In The 1950s, Jessica Hayes
Well-Behaved Librarians Rarely Make History: Juliette Hampton Morgan And Alabama Librarianship In The 1950s, Jessica Hayes
The Southeastern Librarian
Juliette Hampton Morgan was the first white Alabama librarian to publicly support racial equality and desegregation initiatives, yet she remains largely unknown amongst library professionals, including those in her home state of Alabama. Outside of Montgomery, Alabama, where the central library in which she worked was renamed in her memory, little is known of her. This is evidenced by the scant information about her in the Alabama Library Association’s archives at the University of Alabama, the lack of recognition by the Alabama Library Association, and the slight understanding of Alabama librarians regarding her role in Alabama library history. (Knowledge gained …

From Fürstenwalde To Kyoto: The Internationalization Of An Academic Library, Rachel Hooper, Christopher Shaffer
From Fürstenwalde To Kyoto: The Internationalization Of An Academic Library, Rachel Hooper, Christopher Shaffer
The Southeastern Librarian
In the fall of 2005, Troy University began what would be a robust internationalization effort, in which the University Libraries have ultimately played a significant role. Many of the faculty and the staff at the main campus library were born in Troy, AL and attended college there. Several of the librarians left the town of their birth only briefly to attend the state university for their MLIS, and then quickly returned to the comfort of the town and college they had always known. When Troy University began its process toward internationalization, some viewed it as much more than a paradigm …

Academic Library & Athletics Partnerships: A Literature Review On Outreach Strategies And Development Opportunities, A. Blake Denton
Academic Library & Athletics Partnerships: A Literature Review On Outreach Strategies And Development Opportunities, A. Blake Denton
The Southeastern Librarian
In recent years, collaboration between academic libraries and non-academic departments in higher education has emerged as a popular trend in practice and is a frequent topic in contemporary scholarly literature. Recent research suggests that there are at least 180 academic libraries involved in a wide variety of partnerships with non-academic departments at colleges and universities across the United States. Academic libraries have forged collaborative relationships with writing centers, international student services, veterans support departments, and chaplain services, to name a few (Wainright & Davidson, 2017). While there is a growing interest in scholarship concerning these various types of partnerships with …
They Do It Here: A Case Study Of How Public Space Is Used In A Research Library, Ashley S. Dees
They Do It Here: A Case Study Of How Public Space Is Used In A Research Library, Ashley S. Dees
The Southeastern Librarian
The evaluation of academic library space and its use is not a new concept within the world of academic libraries. For a number of years, librarians and libraries have been asked to prove their worth by documenting services and use within their physical library buildings. Space within the J.D. Williams Library, the main library at the University of Mississippi, became a concern due to consistent and, for several years, increasing freshman enrollment. Library staff reported hearing students complain about lack of space and electrical outlets. Much of the information available to library administration about the use of library space by …
Undergraduate Student Works In Institutional Repositories: An Analysis Of Coverage, Prominence And Discoverability, Angel Clemons, Tyler Goldberg
Undergraduate Student Works In Institutional Repositories: An Analysis Of Coverage, Prominence And Discoverability, Angel Clemons, Tyler Goldberg
The Southeastern Librarian
Institutional repositories (IRs) have evolved to showcase a wide-variety of authors and types of material. The early years of IR development focused on collecting and presenting faculty research, primarily in the form of research papers. Graduate theses and dissertations soon began to be incorporated into the scope of IR collection policies and have become as common in IRs as faculty research. Undergraduate research, however, appears to be much less common than faculty or graduate work. This paper examines the extent to which undergraduate student works (USW) are represented in the IRs of U.S. colleges and universities that use bepress’ Digital …
