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 …

Documenting A Movement: Creating And Sustaining The Occupy Boston Community Archive, Meghan Bailey
Meghan Bailey
A wave of dissatisfaction swept the country in fall 2011. This uneasiness manifested itself in numerous Occupy movements, featuring throngs of protestors speaking out against income inequality and the corruption in our financial sector. Inspired by Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Boston took root on the Rose Kennedy Greenway at Dewey Square in Boston’s financial district during mid-October 2011. Thriving in the shadow of the Federal Reserve Bank, Occupy Boston was a vibrant and diverse community of individuals, from students to the working class, from professionals to the unemployed. The importance of preserving the Occupy movement quickly became clear. It’s been …

Proposing Adoption Of Entrepreneurial Skills For Enhanced Library Practice In Nigeria, Helen Nneka Okpala (Nee Eke) Mrs, Kingsley Tochukwu Ihejirika Mr.
Helen Nneka Eke-Okpala
The paper arises from the need to adopt entrepreneurial skills in library practice so as to enhance the traditional library practice in Nigeria. It has been observed that previous studies emphasize librarians becoming entrepreneurs with the knowledge of information skills thereby becoming infopreneurs or knowledge entrepreneurs as the case may be, but the current paper addresses library practice and how skills that make entrepreneurs thrive could be adopted in order to lift the image of the library and for librarians to see their work as their own business. The concept of entrepreneurship is discussed and issues regarding the matching of …
Disruption And Disintermediation: A Review Of The Collection Development And Management Literature, 2009 And 2010, Marcia L. Thomas
Disruption And Disintermediation: A Review Of The Collection Development And Management Literature, 2009 And 2010, Marcia L. Thomas
Marcia L Thomas
This paper reviews the literature of collection development and management from 2009 and 2010.

Libraries reduced print collections and moved them to storage or shared repositories and assessed collections to find efficiencies and demonstrate value. Research libraries moved away from collecting everything to mission-focused collecting, with an emphasis on unique collections. Collaboration across libraries, within institutions, and with non-library partners continued as a key management strategy. Nascent plans emerged to develop a national strategy for …
