I Wonder Who's Using Us Now: Hurricane Katrina's Influence On Use Of Special Collections At The University Of New Orleans Library, Florence M. Jumonville Ph.D.
Library Faculty Publications
Hurricane Katrina (August 29, 2005) necessitated the temporary closure of the University of New Orleans, including its Earl K. Long Library. When the university reopened with a smaller student body, librarians in the Louisiana and Special Collections Department observed that patterns of research use of the collections had changed. This article analyzes data gathered during eight six-month periods (2003-2007) to compare the number of research queries, the institutional affiliations of the researchers, and the collections that were requested before and after the storm.

Excerpt: The history of the book seems direct and pure. It exemplifies only positive aspects of advances in civilization and the preservation of those accomplishments for generations to come. Rather indisputable, we assume. Yet there is the dark side, always a dark side, to human endeavors even the most well meant ones.

Elements Of Collaboration: A Retrospective Look At Marketing A Program Of Core Information Competencies, Jeanne M. Brown

First let me start with what this is NOT. This is not a description of the project to develop core information competencies for students in design disciplines. If you are interested in the core competencies and how they were developed, they are posted, along with some of the process, in the online publications section of the ARLIS web site.
What this IS is a description of some of the elements that have contributed to bright spots in my efforts to convince the UNLV School of Architecture faculty to incorporate the competencies throughout the architecture, interiors and landscape programs – and …

Library Faculty Publications
Since 2001, librarians at Oregon State University's Valley Library have been working to build a "teaching library" supported by a clearly articulated instruction program. From the start, we believed that we needed to assess the teaching library's impact, not only to determine the success or failure of our efforts but also to demonstrate the need for intentional, proactive in formation literacy instruction on our campus. No single assessment tool or method proved adequate to effectively measure student learning happening both inside and outside the library. We describe our evolving, multi-pronged approach to measuring the impact of the library on student …
