Collection Assessment: Taming The Beast, Renna Redd Nov 2023

Collection Assessment: Taming The Beast, Renna Redd

Presentations

At Clemson University, each subject librarian has a yearly goal to perform collection assessment and development duties as part of their work with their assigned departments; however, CU Libraries has been without a dedicated Collection Development and/or Management Librarian since prior to the pandemic. As a result, collection development, management, and assessment activities are somewhat piecemeal due to a lack of time, support, and staffing. After a library-wide reorganization in 2022, a 25% time position was created for an existing librarian to take on collection-related duties and start a formal collection assessment program with subject librarians. The Collections Sharing and …


Teach A Man To Fish Or Nourish Them To Grow? Debating Delivering Owned Articles Through Document Delivery Services, Rosemary Humphrey, Renna Redd Nov 2023

Teach A Man To Fish Or Nourish Them To Grow? Debating Delivering Owned Articles Through Document Delivery Services, Rosemary Humphrey, Renna Redd

Presentations

The age-old proverb “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime” has been used for years in libraries when it comes to discussing how far to go when helping researchers obtain the materials they need. Educating library users on how to find reliable information resources is our shared ultimate goal, but how much should we realistically expect them to know and retain when ILSs are increasingly complicated, inaccurate, and full of library-centric jargon? The presenters will share the results of a survey they administered …

Deconstructing The Team Using Documentation And Cross-Training To Maintain Coverage During Times Of Crisis, Renna Redd, Maggie Mason Smith Jun 2023

Deconstructing The Team Using Documentation And Cross-Training To Maintain Coverage During Times Of Crisis, Renna Redd, Maggie Mason Smith

Publications

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on higher education, the Clemson University Libraries’ Resource Sharing Team had the opportunity to scale up our practice of creating and sharing process documentation in order to maintain continuity of services regardless of various disruptions. In March 2020, Clemson University Libraries, like many other academic libraries, suspended onsite operations for a brief time period due to the spread of COVID-19 in order to determine how best to provide information services safely to all patrons regardless of location. Because of limited access to library and other campus buildings, library administration authorized only a few employees …

One of the goals of the initiative was to provide free copies of the selected book to participants so that they could participate without financial commitment, not increase screen time unnecessarily, and share the …

Acquisitions And Collections Or Access And Public Services: Where Does Resource Sharing Fit In An Academic Library?, Renna Tuten Redd Oct 2022

Acquisitions And Collections Or Access And Public Services: Where Does Resource Sharing Fit In An Academic Library?, Renna Tuten Redd

Presentations

At the 2018 Southeastern Resource Sharing Conference I gave a lightning talk titled “Where Do We Belong? Where Does Resource Sharing Fit in an Academic Library?” to share the results of an informal survey to find where resource sharing departments are found in academic library organizational structures. Since then, Clemson University Libraries engaged in a reorganization and the resource sharing team will be moved (as of July 1, 2022) from the new Teaching, Learning, and Research Division (a division centered around public services) to the new Collections and Discovery Division (a more technical services-based division). This lighting talk will share …

Making A List And Checking It Thrice: Three Universities Implement Ex Libris’ Leganto, Maggie Albro, Ariana Baker, Heather Gilbert, Jennifer Hughes, Ed Rock, Elena Rodriguez, Suzanne Rook Schilf, Christopher Vinson

Publications

In the 2020-2021 academic year, Clemson University, Coastal Carolina University, and the College of Charleston were the first three institutions in the state of South Carolina to implement Leganto. This implementation followed closely on the heels of a statewide migration involving 55 academic libraries to Ex Libris’ library services platform, Alma, and discovery service, Primo VE. Each institution completed their migration and went live with Alma and Primo VE in June 2020. Coastal Carolina University launched Leganto in July 2020 and Clemson University and College of Charleston each launched Leganto in August 2020. This article explores the faculty engagement, instructional …
